July Favourites!

Apologies for it being slightly late, summer is going so quickly, the first week of August has already gone. wow!

Anyways lets jump straight in with my beauty favourites...

Lip products:
Of course my beloved Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stain in the shade 'Lovesick' has played a huge role in the month of July. Love it.
Next is another lip crayon but this is by Rimmel London in the shade 'On Fire'. Its a beautiful red and smells incredible!
Now, if you didn't notice I do love my bold lip colours. However some days I like to have a more casual look but still would like a wash of colour and moisture on my lips. This is where Maybelline 'Baby lips' comes in. I use the Cherry one, as I feel this on has much more pigment. Perfect for everyday use, especially if you don't like wearing vibrant colours.

My favourite face products:
First is the Bourjois healthy mix serum gel foundation. I've had this for a while now, I'd like to say since Easter. I have really enjoyed using this foundation in the summer months because its light weight, glides easily onto the skin and doesn't cling onto to any dry patches which is awesome since I have extremely dry skin. Its light coverage, which I don't mind at all, I don't particularly like wearing full coverage. I like to let my skin breath.
Next is this concealer by Maybelline 'Anti eye eraser'. I don't usually wear concealer since it dries my skin out and would tend to not sit right on my skin. However this concealer has a creamy consistency therefore it doesn't dry out my skin and sit beautifully under the eyes.
 
My favourite mascara, in fact its my all time favourite. I have been on the hunt this summer to find the 'perfect' mascara. I haven't been successful, yet. Nothing I try seems to do better than this mascara by Rimmel London 'Sexy curves'. It volumizes and lengthens which is exactly what I look for in a mascara, so maybe I have found the perfect mascara for me after all.
 
Over all not many favourites, but honestly I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup lately, its far too hot.
 
Have you been enjoying any beauty products in particular? Let me know in the comments I would love to try new products.

Top 5 favourite drugstore summer lipsticks

Excuse the fairly long title, I guess I just like to be precise. Since I LOVE lipsticks I thought I would share with you all my favourite summer lipsticks which is full of vibrant colours. So in no particular order we shall begin...
 
 
1.Maybelline colour sensational in the shade 'Coral Tonic'. This summer I have been trying to push myself to wear more orange coloured lipsticks, ( a shade I typically would avoid, purely because I thought it was too 'out there'). However I bought this in hope it would suit my pale skin, which fortunately it does! Its a gorgeous shade.
 
 

 2. The Bourjois Rouge edition velvet in 'Frambourjoise'.
This is a beautiful pink with a matte finish, I don't usually wear matte lip products as I find them too drying on the lips. However this has the 'velvet' touch which makes the lips not feel dry. Also its long lasting which is a huge plus.


3. The Bourjois shine edition in the shade 'Mauve tabloid'. I am absolutely in love with this lipstick. I love plum lipsticks, and I usually only wear plum shades in autumn and winter but this lipstick is a more natural shade which you can have for everyday use, I certainly do!
 
 
4. Revlon lip butter in the shade 'Wild watermelon'.
This is a gorgeous red which I think anyone could pull off, its bright without being too bold.

5.  Revlon just bitten kissable lip stain 'Lovesick'. I love the Revlon lip stains because the lasting power is amazing! Usually there are deals at boots like 2 for £10, which means I own 'quite' a few shades now.
 So there we have it, my top 5 drugstore summer lipsticks, which lipsticks have you been wearing the most this summer?
