June Favourites

It's time again to to share my monthly favourites, it doesn't seem that long ago that I was sitting down to write my May favourites. 

This month I have rediscovered my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I have always loved this foundation but this month I have been wearing it nearly everyday. I love the way it looks on my skin and that it is really light so that it lets my skin breathe. To apply my foundation I have been loving 2 different tools, for the first half of the month I was using my Beauty Blende dupe which I got from H&M. I love this for applying foundation as it makes it look flawless. The second half of the month I loved my ELF Powder Brush I use this like a buffing brush to buff my foundation in and I love the finish that it gives. 

I have found myself reaching for my MUA Undress Me Too palette a lot this month.The cooler shades of brown make it perfect for summer. I have been loving the shades Shy, Wick and Reveal. 

I have been loving painting my nails this month which is something I don't usually have a lot of time for. I have  loved using the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine in Greenberry on my finger nails. I love the colour and formula and I really like that it lasts a week on my nails before it starts chipping. I have been liking the Barry M Nail Paint in Shocking Pink on my toes as it is such a bright colour and I love bright polishes on my toes. Lastly I have been loving the Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray. You spray your nails with this and they are touch dry within 60 seconds. One of the drawbacks for me (I'm sure I'm not alone here) of painting my nails was the fact that you have to wait around whilst they dry with this it cuts down the time you have to wait.

Weekly Summary #2

So this week seemed to last a very long time even though school wasn't too busy. On Tuesday we had sports day and because I am in sixth form I didn't do an awful lot. On Thursday we only had half a day so I got to go home early and catch up on blogging. I had another driving lesson this week, I am so bad at driving but hopefully I'll get better soon.

On Saturday I went to London. I went to the Delamar Academy End of Year Exhibition. Last week I mentioned that I want to do a makeup course instead of going to UNI, so this was a great opportunity to see the school and ask question about the school. After seeing the school I know that this is what I really want to do and I loved the school. As I want to become a makeup artist I need to start creating a portfolio of different looks and I've been thinking about creating a new blog so I can showcase my different looks. I will keep this blog for reviews, NOTDs and outfit posts etc and have another blog  that only has my makeup blogs. I need to start thinking of names for my new blog so if you have any suggestions for names then I'd love to hear them. 

Also at the top of my blog you may have noticed my tabs and that recently I have added a new one called Review Dictionary here you can see all the reviews I have written. The brands are listed alphabetically and you can see which products I have reviewed from that brand. I thought it would be helpful for people who want to see a particular review. 

Lastly do you have any post requests if you do I'd love to hear them so I know what you want to see on my blog.

Magazine Freebies (July)

Today I thought I would share with you some of this months magazine freebies. I have said this before and I will say it again magazine freebies are a great way to try new products and get a flavour for lots of different brands that you probably wouldn't normally buy.

In Marie Claire they are giving away a mini Ciaté Caviar Manicure Set. The set comes with the polish Cookies and Cream and the caviar Shooting Stars. I can't wait to try this out I have never tried caviar nail art before so it will be interesting to see what it looks like. Also with this magazineyou get a mini sample of the Oral B toothpaste, I love getting mini toothpaste as they are great for travelling. 

In Glamour they are giving away Model Co. products. You can chose from a lip liner, eyeliner, mascara and 2 lipglosses (Strip Tease- a nude and Pink Berry- a pinky red colour). I am very excited to try out these products as I have never heard of this brand before.

Instyle have the Neal's Yard Remedies Power Berry Daily Moisture. I really like this brand as I have tried one of their hand creams and it is really moisturising. I also like this brand because they use organic ingredients and don't have any parabens. 

Have you picked up any freebies this month?

June Empties

It's that time again in which I talk about the products I have used up in the past month. I am pretty impressed with the amount I use up each month, I'm always worried I won't have enough to talk about but that has never seemed to be a problem.

So first 2 things I used up are kinda similar they are cotton pads. I get the round ones which I use to take eye makeup and nail polish and I use the oval ones for my face. I like to use the oval ones for my face as they are a lot bigger so the cover more of my face and remove makeup quicker than if I use a round pad. I used up some of the Nivea Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes from the Daily Essentials range, these were ok but they weren't anything special so I probably wouldn't get them again.

Next I used up the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash I really liked this as it cleaned my face well and it smelt really good. This lasted me a really long time so if you are on a budget this would be perfect for you as you won't have to keep buying face wash. I was sad to finish the next item as I really liked it. It was the Botanics Skin Calming Night Cream I liked this as I found it really moisturising and it left my skin feeling smooth. I won't be repurchasing for the moment as I am trying out the Naturally Radiant Renewing Night Cream from Superdrug. 

Next is the Along Came Betty One Pot Of Polish I loved this scrub not only did it smell amazing but it was a really nice scrub. It wasn't too harsh and it left my skin feeling really soft. I wasn't a massive fan of this Radox bubble bath, the scent wasn't particularly for me. The only reason I used this up was because my sister had a really bad rash and this mad it worse. 

Lastly is the MUA Clear Mascara which I use to set my brows, this is so cheap and it does the job. I've already got a new one.

Maybelline Fit Me Powder Review

Yesterday, I reviewed the Fit Me Foundation and today I thought I would review the powder as well. I bought this powder at the same time as I got the foundation and I got the shade 110 Porcelain. 

As you can see from the above photo the powder is really finely milled, this is good because it is less likely to go cakey when you apply it on top of foundation. This sets foundation really well and makes the foundation look flawless. I have used this on top of the Fit Me foundation but I have used it on other foundations as well and it works really well. The powder is reasonably priced and I definitely recommend that you check this out.

The packaging is really good as it comes with a handy mirror and sponge (although I've never used the sponge). I do think though that the packaging is slightly too bulky for travelling but that is just a minor thing. 

Have you tried this powder?
