June Favourites

Hi everyone,

Wow it's hard to believe we're now halfway through 2016!! June has flown by for me, being a very strange month with a mix of very stressful exam times alongside some very relaxing days.

I thought I'd give a roundup of a few things I have been loving this month as I love reading these to get some inspiration and at the start of the month I made quite a few new purchases, some of which have found their way into my every day make up bag!

KEVIN AUCOIN SCULPT POWDER-

After hearing this product raved about so much I was desperate to try it out, but I held out for so long because it is soooo expensive however I am really glad I finally got my hands on it. It really is the perfect contour shade as it is so cool toned. I got it in the shade medium as this was the original colour although it has now been brought out in light and dark and it suits my pale skin fine and blends in really easily. I don't know if I would say it's worth £40 for the tiny amount that you get but I definitely have been really enjoying using it. 

BECCA X JACLYN HILL CHAMPAGNE POP SHIMMERING SKIN PERFECTOR-

Another expensive purchase that I probably didn't need but was so desperate to get hold of after it being talked about so so much! I have wanted this highlighter for a really long time but it was sold out in every Sephora I visited in New York which was really disappointing. The Becca shimmering skin perfectors are insanely expensive but I do already own one and know I love the consistency, and of course who doesn't love a highlighter with their name on! It's safe to say Champagne Pop certainly lived up to expectations! The pigment of it is insane so I definitely wouldn't wear it day to day but for a night out its stunning! I literally couldn't recommend this enough it's such a dream to put on - blends perfectly, gives a shine you could see from miles away and I look forward to wearing full coverage make up so I can put this on. 

LUSH EU ROMA TONER WATER-

Sadly I have to admit that I am not the best at skin care routines, in the morning I'm always in a rush and at night it's so easy to just quickly wipe my make up off and fall into bed, therefore discovering a product like this is a life saver! This toner water is literally the best skin care product I've ever found! Sometimes I don't even use moisturiser just a few quick sprays of this and I'm good to go. I sometimes use it as a primer before make up but usually spray it on just as I'm getting into bed and I wake up with the softest, most hydrated skin I've vet had! I think this was about £7 and it was more than worth every penny. I love the smell of it; a bit like tea tree oil, and being from Lush you know it's natural products and cruelty free so an added bonus. If I was to recommend one beauty product to someone it would be this toner water as it is so quick and easy to use and makes such a big difference to my skin. 

RIHANNA ANTI -

Although this isn't a beauty favourite I couldn't not mention it; on 29th of June I went to see Rihanna in concert and it was the highlight of my month! The show was so amazing on its own but was even better as Drake came on as a guest and sang Work and One Dance. I've been a Drake fan for many years so it's safe to say a few years were shed! I would highly recommend the Anti album to anyone who loves R&B as it is by far her best album to date. My favourite song is Needed Me and I would also recomend going to see her perform live if you have the chance because she has the most amazing voice and put on such a brilliant show!

Let me know what you've been loving this month
