June favourites

Well hello to you my reader chums! June has been one of my favourite months this year. The past few weeks have been packed with concerts, holidays and birthday celebrations so there wasn't many free moments. However, over that time I've discovered a few favourites I can't wait to share with you.

Here's a look at my June favourites..

Tartelette in bloom palette

Tartelette palette in bloom

I've been lusting over this palette for a while now and when visiting New York, I had to pick up this beauty in Sephora. I believe is was around the $46 mark and honestly worth every single penny. I'm incredibly impressed with the palette overall, the colours are intensely pigmented, they blend/layer well and are buttery soft to apply. I love the different tones available in this palette, how you go from creams, pinks, coppers, browns to purples and a staple black. It offers the variety for a simple everyday nude eye look or an intense copper, smoky eye. Each colour especially the gold and copper tones really bring out my blue eyes. If you're in America and are able to get your hands on this palette, I 100% would. Versatility, lasting power and stunning shades, it has my vote.

Sleek's highlighting palette in Cleopatra's kiss

Sleek's Cleopatra Kiss highlighting palette

I'm a massive fan of Sleek's face products including their bronzers, blushes and highlighters as they're always insanely good quality. This new highlighting palette lived up to every expectation. Compared to Sleek's 'Solstice' palette, I'd say the 'Cleopatra kiss' is created more for summer time with its gold and bronze tones, working better with tanned skin. My favourite combination has to be the bottom two shades, a creamy intense highlight paired with a slightly bronze toned champagne powder highlight. The top two shades are too bronze toned for my skin and would work better for someone with a darker complexion. Highly pigmented, beautiful shimmer shades and gorgeous packaging, I have so much love for this palette.

Urban Decay's all nighter spray

Urban Decay's all -nighter spray

All of us beauty bloggers can admit, the Urban Decay all-nighter spray has been hyped for a very long time. I finally got my hands on it at Christmas time but for some reason never put it in one of my favourite posts. I love this spray; not only is it a refreshing spritz after you've applied your make up, but I've genuinely noticed a big difference for lasting-power. My makeup seems to cling on for that extra bit longer when I use this product. You only need a few sprays and it'll do the job!

South Beach sunglasses

As I wear glasses on a day-to-day basis, in the summer it's lovely to change up to contact lenses and rock a pair of sunglasses. My new obsessions are these South Beach sunnies I found on ASOS for £12. They've been my go to for every summer outfit accessory and worked wonders on holiday. I'm in love with the rose gold frames and mirrored lenses; they're very Instagram worthy.

Events

June has been filled to the brim with exciting plans and I'm blessed to have experienced it all in the last few weeks. From Shawn Mendes concert, my boyfriend's leavers ball, a Malta holiday, turning 21, singing my heart out to Robbie Williams and dinner plans plus the many BBQs, summer has certainly started.

I hope you enjoyed my June favourites! Which products have you been enjoying this past month?

June favourites ❤️

Well hello to you my reader chums! With the exciting month of June now over, it's time to share all the products I've been enjoying these past few weeks. June was an incredible month filled with countless sensational moments including a girls holiday, Brighton and celebrating my 20th birthday! Now summer is fully underway ( lets hope the British weather gets the message soon), I can't wait to see what more fun adventures lay ahead.

Here's an overview of all my favourite monthly products:

June favourites

The Body Shop Seaweed mask

The first favourite is a new skincare love of mine, Body Shop's seaweed face mask. I picked this up just over a month a go, following a recommendation on Twitter by a fellow beauty blogger. I'd ran out of my Lush face mask 'Brazened Honey' and chose to opt for something new - I have to admit, I was certainly impressed! As labelled, it's a clay mask so applies wet and sets like clay to the skin. This means when washing off, ( I use a circular motion), it helps exfoliate this skin at the same time as drawing out the impurities. I've been using it on a weekly basis and have found my skin to feel fresher, smooth and completely clean after a face mask. However, on sensitive areas such as my under eyes, if I use a lot of product, it can leave them feeling dry and tender, therefore I usually layer it more on oily stricken areas.


Zoella Sweet Inspirations body mist

The next favourite has to be an item from Zoella's new collection, the Sweet Inspirations mist. If you saw my review on her entire new range, you'd know I'm addicted to the heavenly sweet scent! The mist has to be my favourite product I've tried from the collection so far -  The smell is that delicious you'd want to eat it and it lingers all day long. With utterly adorable packaging and a scent that'll make your taste buds tingle, it's become an everyday staple.

Rimmel's BB cream

Another product I've been loving is an olden goldie for me, Rimmel's BB cream. This base is something I use every now and then when I'm having phases of how much coverage I need. As I went on holiday early June, I got a fair amount of use out of this due to it's SPF factor and light coverage. On the days I wore makeup, I applied this with a bit of concealer, powder, bronzer and mascara - a simple yet wearable, easy quick look in the beaming heat.

Mac's Lady Danger and Kiko lip liner

Lastly, this lip duo is the dream team of the orange lipstick world. When it comes to summer or the warmer weather shines through, a staple look I adore is orange lips. I find with a tan and glowing bronzy cheek bones, nothing looks better. My favourite to wear as pictured above is Kiko's lip liner in '306' and my beloved Mac's 'Lady Danger.' By pairing these not only have I found the colour to be more vibrant, but the lasting power is absolutely flawless. The products on their own are pretty long wearing ( especially the lip liner, nothing budges it) so when put together, you know it'll last throughout the evening. Even though both lip products are matte, neither feel drying upon application and blend really easily; couldn't fault them.

I hope you enjoyed this Junes favourite post. What products have you been loving?
