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.

Tutorial: Quick and easy makeup look

Well hello to you my reader chums! Today I wanted to share with you a quick and simple makeup look I like to wear on days where I'm either in a rush for work or don't really fancy the whole full face coverage. The look is quite basic and natural, providing a substantial amount of coverage, glow to the skin, yet doesn't look too much for an everyday basis.

Here are all the products below:



Base: 
Rimmel's BB cream in 'Light'
Rimmel's Wake me up concealer
Rimmel's Stay matte powder in 'Silky beige'
The Body Shop's bronzer in '02'
Rimmel's blush in '050 Live pink'

For the base, I primed my skin and started off with a new discovery, Rimmel's BB cream. As it provides a light coverage, I applied it with my beauty blender because I find this helps build up layers, blending it in easier and achieving a flawless finish. I then took my concealer, dotted it under the eyes, a touch on the forehead and over any blemishes. To set the base I dusted powder all over the skin, ensuring it'll last all day long. Since this makeup is rather quick, I opted to slightly contour the cheekbones, bringing some warmth to the skin and then applied a blush to give that rosy flush/ highlight to the cheekbones.

Eye brows, eyes and lips:
L'oreal's eye shadow in '106'
Maybelline's Lash sensational
Dr Paw Paw's 'Tinted peach pink balm'

To keep the eye look swift, I simply filled in my brows with the usual L'oreal eye shadow and used it also as a contour shade for my eyes, to add a warmth of colour without putting together a full eye look. I finished with a couple of coats of mascara and a slight sheen of a pink colour over the lips.

There we have it the completed look: 


I hope you enjoyed this post. What's your go to makeup look?
