June favourites

I can't believe it's July already! Where is the year going?! Here's a quick look at some of my favourite cosmetic buys this month, each one i've been using pretty regularly and I would recommend every single one of them.
Maybelline 24 Hour Superstay Lip Colour Lipstick in Timeless Rose £8.99 Boots
I'm in love with this colour. The conditioning balm plumps my lips and makes a nice base for the colour, making it easy to clean off at the end of the day but also keeps it in place when you need it!

Sleek Contour Palette in Light £6.49 Boots
I'm obsessed with make up videos - especially contouring. I've been using bronzer for a while and it can look too shimmery and orange. I love the Sleek eyeshadow palettes and when I saw this in a store in town, I needed to give it a go, and I wasn't disappointed!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water £2.79 Boots 
I've only recently started to use Micellar Water. Up until now it's just been facewipes and facewash until a friend nearly had a breakdown when she found out what I was using. "Facewipes strip your skin of their natural oils!", "They're so bad for you!", "You NEED to use Micellar Water!".
So here I am giving it a go. It takes my make up off so easy and my skin hasn't been this clear in so long! I am loving it!

Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream £29.50 Boots
This has become a pretty regular participant of my evening skin routine. After i've cleaned my face I put a small dollop on my cheeks and massage it around my face, then in the morning my face feels as soft as a baby's bottom!

Toni & Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray 200ml £4.99 Superdrug
This is brilliant if you're having one of those 'you want to look good but you're too tired and lazy to do anything about it' days. All it takes it a couple sprays onto my hair, a quick brush through and i'm good to go. This is one of my favourite looks at the moment. I've always been a fan of sea salt waves - they make me feel like i'm on holiday! With this one, I feel that the best results come when you've used it on wet hair.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 30ml Foundation £21.50 Harvey Nichols
Once you go MAC, you never go back. It took a while to find the perfect shade (they have a lot to choose from!), but after I used it for the first time, I was amazed! Only a small dollop (1 pump) was needed for enough coverage on my face, and it looks flawless! My favourite thing about it is the fact that it feels like i'm not wearing any foundation at all.

(I'm pretty surprised there's no Soap & Glory in here, doesn't mean I love them any less!)

Soap & Glory haul!

Surprise surprise, I found myself wandering into Boots today and somehow ended up at the Soap and Glory stand, and if you've read my #1 Addiction post, you will know that I have a bit of a crazy obsession when it comes to Soap and Glory.

So today the craziness struck again and with 3 for 2 at Boots, I thought it would be rude not to!
Kick Ass Concealer, It's About Prime eyeshadow primer & Archery brow tint & shaper
























I already have S&G's Kick Ass Concealer, but I dropped it and the container has broken so the make up just gets everywhere. I thought it would be a good idea to buy a new one, so I did. The lovely creaminess of the concealer covers up flaws perfectly, then the adorable little powder puff applies a light amount of the powder to get rid of the shininess.







Achieving perfect eyebrows is possibly one of the biggest beauty crazes at the moment and I've heard a lot of raving reviews about Archery so I felt like giving it a go. For a while now I've been using Benefit's Brow Zings, however I sometimes think that it applies very heavily and dark, making my eyebrows look very artificial.








And last but certainly not least, It's About Prime. One of the main problem's i've experienced with eyeshadow primers is the annoying creases they can leave after a while on your eyelid. However, It's About Prime promises no creases so i'm looking forward to giving it a go!









Out of the three of these i'm most excited to see how Archery turns out. I'll be using all 3 of these products over the weekend so I will be writing a follow up post to let you all know what I thought about them. I'd love to know what your favourite Soap & Glory products are!
