The first product is something I've used as part of my everyday makeup routine for a very long time, Maybelline's Dream fresh BB cream. I love this, for many different reasons, one being how perfect it is to wear as part of a light, everyday makeup look. When applied the BB cream isn't heavy on the skin at all, yet gives just enough coverage to add a bit of oomph and glowing, dewy effect to the skin. I'd say it's a step up from tinted moisturiser, coverage wise, yet it still has those soothing, moisturising abilities, because my skin feels heavenly when I put it on. One of the features, the SPF factor is a fab component because when it comes to summer time you can whip some of this on protecting you from the sun as well as giving coverage. I would a hundred percent recommend this to anybody looking for an easy everyday base makeup product because it has everything in one to achieve a dewy finish!

The next product is Topshop cream blushes. I think Topshop's makeup range as a whole is very overlooked as what I've tried from there (the blushes and lipsticks) have been such good quality. The cream blushes especially are what I use as part of my daily makeup and absolutely adore. I have two shades 'morning dew' and 'head over heels'. Both of which are quite pink toned, 'morning dew' being more of a rosy pink and 'head over heels' consisting of a red shade. Either with fingers or a dense brush, I find their cream blushes incredibly easily to blend, leaving the most natural looking colour on the cheeks with a slight shimmer running through. 'Morning dew' in particular is my favourite for an everyday use because it gives the most beautiful rosy flush to the cheeks. Using these has made me much prefer cream blushes to a powder blush as I love the consistency and how even though they are cream, they leave a powder finish. If all that isn't enough, can we all take a moment to appreciate the adorable packaging of Topshop makeup?! It's just too cute!

Another underrated product is Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess bronzer. When I hear about high end bronzers, the two main hyped up ones are Nar's Laguna or Benefit's hoola bronzer, not so much about Bronze Goddess. Even though I haven't tried Laguna or Hoola and therefore can't compare to this hype, what I can say is Bronze Goddess is simply divine and deserves a lot more credit. It's definitely a luxury item, which I love to use on evenings out, special occasions or when I want a strong contour. The bronzer itself is matte with the slightest shimmer running through it, ideal for building up a contour, dusting over the skin for a bronzed look and muted glow. It's just an ultimate gem for me where my makeup always feels more special when I throw it into the mix!

Heading onto lip products, I would have to admit these are the items I collect the most of and like to change up for each look. A range in particular, Revlon's matte balms, I feel are completely underrated. I own three of these, two pink tones and a bright orange, all of which are fantastic. They have the longest lasting power, are super pigmented, apply smoothly and don't feel too heavy on the lips. I find with some lip balms/sticks that after you've applied them, they can smudge easily, but not these, they set in to place and stay there for a reasonable amount of time. As the nib is like a pencil too it makes application simple. If you didn't guess I'm pretty obsessed with these and would recommend them to all!

The last product is an eye liner. Liquid liner is a feature of my makeup I wear everyday without fail and on occasions add a wing. To make my life a hell of a lot easier the liner I always reach for is L'oreal's super liner. As the tip on this is extremely thin, it makes application really easy, where you can build up a line as thick as you'd like it. It's also idyllic for winged liner because of this thin nib as you're able to again build on it. I find with some liners that the black isn't very definitive, however this liner gives the blackest colour, it lasts and is a dream to use! I love it that much, I always have loads of spares laying about!

I hope you enjoyed this post! What are your top underrated products?

Another shop I found something special in was Topshop. I'm getting into Topshop clothing a lot more lately and have been finding some real goodies in there. I saw this a dress a while back in grey, yet the fit didn't really suit me too well as it was quite baggy around the waistline. However, I saw this in a size smaller and the fit was much better, suiting my figure more. I prefer the blue/indigo shade to the original grey shade I saw. For holiday, I think it will be perfect for evenings, when we go out for a meal or for some drinks, paired with a leather jacket and sandals. I was glad to grab it for half price in the sale, costing only £12.

The black lace detailing on the shoulders is my favourite part of the dress because it adds something to the casual number.

Now onto my selection of Primark items:

The first piece of clothing is this light, flower print, monochrome top. What drew me to this was the overall flower print and the opposite change of the bottom half of the top. I love anything monochrome and I think this will look really sweet tucked into shorts, with sandals and a light cardi or even just draped over shorts. It was only £4!

Another flower print item is this daisy print tank top. For something so simple, tucked into high waisted shorts and paired with a kimono/caridigan and sandals, I think will look ultra summery! I love this especially as daisies are my favourite flower and for £4 I couldn't say no!

The kimono/cardigan I discussed above has a white, crochet design which fits in with the boho type style. I think this item is very versatile to pair with all different outfits and gives a festival vibe. Its the perfect light item for extremely sunny days or to throw over my bikini at the pool. The piece cost £12.

Another item I picked up were these 'mum' style shorts. I have a couple of pairs of shorts already but as I'll basically be living in these on holiday, I though getting another pair would be a good idea. I love the fit on these because they aren't too short and are very comfortable to wear. These are slightly different to my other shorts too because the design is a slightly more rough and this coloured denim is something I don't already own. These cost me just £10.

For chillier days/nights or to use as a cover up at the pool I picked up this cosy, thin grey and white cardigan. This was in the sale for only £5 and I think its going to be great for the Spring and holiday of course.

The last top I picked up is a Mickey Mouse, grey crop top. I'm a very big Disney fan so anything I find in Primark which is Disney related, I'm bound to buy. Apart from the Disney element, I love the shape and colour of this shirt, it can easily be thrown with shorts for a really casual look or can be used for pyjamas! I might even wear it on the plane journey there as its that comfy. It cost me £6 I believe.

The last item are these cream coloured shoes with holes throughout the design. I really like the look of these because they give an elegant, formal edge. I needed more flats and I think these are great for the transition into the warmer months and for £6 you can't go wrong!

I hope you enjoyed this summer clothing haul. I love all the items I picked up and can't wait to get styling! I'm super excited for this holiday with my 3 best friends and knowing I have majority of my outfits sorted now is a big relief.
