I cannot believe it is time for June favourites already, crazy how fast time goes!

Maybelline Super Stay Nail Polish in Divine Wine

I've been loving pink nail polishes lately and this is by far my favourite! A lovely deep pink colour with a really long lasting formula.

Collection Lasting Gel Colour in Coral Reef

Another pink toned nail polish, I never thought I'd ever like a coral nail polish but this one is gorgeous and I love the formula as well, definitely plan to pick some more shades up.

Mac Palette - Woodwinked, Satin Taupe, Mulch, Twinks

I go through phases of loving my Mac palette and then just not using it. This month I have been using it none stop, especially Woodwinked which is a really gorgeous gold shade that goes a deep bronze colour when blended out.

Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Buff

I would have thought that my Revlon ColorStay foundation would be too heavy for summer but it really is the only foundation that keeps oil at bay. I've loved mixing this with the Garnier BB Cream for Oily skin. The perfect summer combo for those with oily skin!

Barry M Eyeshadow in Shade 9

This is definitely a nighttime eyeshadow but it's a gorgeous shimmery dark gold colour. Really stunning!

Garnier Summer Body Tanning Lotion

I'm not big on fake tan but for summer I absolutely love this. I have the Deep Sunkissed shade and I just need two coats of this to get a lovely tan! I also love the smell, really reminds me of summer and holidays.

Marks and Spencer Limited Bronzer in Light

I've been loving using this bronzer this month, its not too orangey and just adds a really nice warmth to my face.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo

After trying other moisturisers I just keep going back to this. Definitely a firm favourite of mine and its also the perfect makeup base!

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express in Waterproof Black

I'd forgotten how much I love this mascara. You only need a couple of coats to get full lashes and the waterproof formula really doesn't budge! Perfect for holidays!

TOP - Topshop, LEGGINGS - H&M, BOOTS - eBay, RINGS - Topshop, CLUTCH - Primark

I found this top when clearing out my university room and I can't believe I don't wear it more often! Its a really gorgeous colour and its got a feather burn out effect on it. I also really love the fit of it, definitely plan to wear this more often!

I hope you guys are having a great week!

Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Buff
Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Black/Brown
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light
Benefit Fake Up Concealer in Light
NYX Blush in Taupe
Natural Collection Blush in Peach Melba

MUA Eye Primer
Rimmel ScandalEyes Shadow Pencil in Bulletproof Beige
MUA 'Undress Me Too' Palette in Dreamy and Obsessed
MUA Eyeshadow in Shade 19
Rimmel ScandalEyes Kohl in Nude
Avon SuperShock Mascara
Rimmel Apocolips in Stellar

I started off by applying my favourite foundation, the Revlon ColorStay for Combination/Oily skin. I used my hands to apply in to get a more natural finish and then blended around the edges with a Real Techniques Buffing Brush. I then applied Benefit Fake Up Concealer under my eyes and Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer on any blemishes. I filled in my eyebrows using a Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil, I've always used the shade Black/Brown as I find pale eyebrows just don't suit me, I think really dark eyebrows just frame my face much better. I then contoured using NYX Blush in Taupe and applied a tiny bit of Natural Collection's Peach Melba blush to my cheeks.

For my eyes, I started with MUA's Eye Primer, and then followed with Rimmel ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in Bulletproof Beige as an eyeshadow base. I then used the shade Dreamy from the MUA Undress Me Too Palette all over the lid and the shade Obsessed in the outer corner. I also used an MUA Eyeshadow in Shade 19 through the crease. I finished with lots of Avon SuperShock mascara and Rimmel ScandalEyes Kohl in Nude in the waterline.

Finally I finished the evening look with Rimmel Apocolips in Stellar.

TOP - Glamorous, SHORTS - New Look, BOOTS - eBay, BELT - H&M, JEWELLERY - Lost At Sea* 

Rose Quartz Wand - £14.00*

Cross Stacking Ring - £6.00*

Gemstone Moon Necklace - £7.00*

How gorgeous is this jewellery? Its from Lost At Sea which is a lovely little shop that sells really handmade stunning jewellery. The Rose Quartz Wand is by far my favourite and I can see myself wearing it throughout summer, it justs adds a gorgeous touch to any outfit. They are all beautifully made and came in such cute packaging so I definitely recommend having a look!

Another firm favourite of mine is this cold shoulder stripey top from Glamorous. I'd been wanting an oversized stripey top for ages and so when I saw this one with cold shoulders I knew I had to get it!

I hope you guys have had a lovely week!

Amie Morning Clear Purifying Facial Wash - £4.95*

Amie has always been a brand that I think has gone under the radar a bit. I used to use a moisturiser from them religiously so I was really interested to try this facial wash from them.

First off it smells amazing, it contains orange blossom, mayblossom, elderflower and raspberry, it seriously smells so good! Its a very creamy consistency, almost lotion like which I really like as it means it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. I apply this to dry skin, massage it for around a minute and then either rinse off or wipe off with a damp cloth. I've found that this is the best way to use this for me. This leaves my skin feeling so soft and almost stripped back to basics because its so gentle on the skin. Despite being gentle on the skin it still manages to remove all my skin makeup which is a perfect for someone lazy like me!

I've really enjoyed using this facial wash and I think its perfect for anyone wanting a morning facial wash that leaves skin feeling super smooth. And it's a bargain at only £4.95!!

Have you tried any Amie?

I'm sure you guys know by now how much of a fan I am of the Barry M Gelly Paints. I really love how thick they are and how they give such a glossy gel-like effect. I knew the moment that they released some more colours I'd have to pick up a few more. One colour really stood out to me and that was this electric blue. This shade of blue has literally been everywhere this Spring/Summer and I love wearing it on my nails with a monochrome outfit.

Have you tried any of the new shades?

Perricone Acyl Discovery Set - £46.20* c/o QVC

I was so excited to try out this skincare set, I've heard so many great things about Perricone. The Acyl Discovery Set contains four miniature Perricone products; the Nutritive Cleanser, the Acyl Glutathione, the Face Finishing Moisturiser and a No Foundation Foundation.

The one I was most excited to try out was the Nutritive Cleanser which is a daily, gentle foaming cleanser containing Alpha Lipoic Acid and DMAE. Although it says to apply to a wet face and rinse off, I use this in the same way I would use a hot cloth cleanser; so I apply it to a dry face, massage in and then wipe it off with a hot cloth. I am so in love with this cleanser, it just leaves my face feeling so clean but it doesn't strip the face at all. The smell isn't the best but that honestly doesn't bother me because the product is amazing and I'm definitely tempted to buy the full size.

Next up was the Acyl Glutathione which you are meant to use morning and night to help address accelerated signs of ageing. Its a really nice consistency, its feels thick but very silky and light when you rub it in. Although this is probably aimed for older people I feel that I would still be able to use it because it is so light and just leaves the skin feeling so soft.

The Face Finishing Moisturiser is said to help decrease dryness associated with daily activities. I was slightly nervous about this one because I do have super oily skin so I was worried it make my skin too oily. However I was pleasantly surprised, it is slightly thicker than the Acyl Glutathione but it still sinks in really well and it also left my skin feeling quite plump and really healthy looking. I probably wouldn't be able to use this on a daily basis but its great for when my skin needs perking up and a bit of a treat.

Finally the No Foundation Foundation which has high-quality mineral pigments that act as optical diffusers, to neutralise discoloration and even out any skin tone. I was really excited to try this out as I've never really tried a high end tinted moisturiser. Its super light coverage but definitely evens out the skintone however the colour is much too dark for me. Although it adapts to your skintone, I wouldn't really be able to use it unless I had a tan which is a shame because it did feel really nice on the skin.

Have you tried any Perricone?

JUMPER -  Primark Mens, LEATHER LEGGINGS - Miss Selfridge, BOOTS - eBay, WATCH - Fossil, NECKLACE - eBay

The weather was so lovely over the weekend and now it's just gone cloudy again! Typical England aha. Anyway this is a typical outfit for me on cloudy days, a jumper and some leather leggings. There's just something about the mix of leather and knitwear that I absolutely love.

I got back from uni last Thursday for the Summer!! So far I'm really enjoying it, however four months of Summer is a long time haha, so I really hope I don't get bored!

AND I reached 700 followers!! Whoop, thanks so much guys! Really means the world that so many of you actually like my ramblings :D

I went on a nail polish shopping spree a few weeks ago and picked up so many nail polishes that I really didn't need, but you can never have too many nail polishes right?

One of the ones I picked up was this lovely colour from the new Maybelline Nail Polish line. Its a really nice dark smokey purple colour and looks great with neon especially. However I wasn't a fan of the formula of this polish, it just applied really patchy and needed at least three coats to get a nice opaque colour. I just think in comparison to what else is in the drugstore in terms of nail polish formulas this really isn't very good. I do love the colour though so will probably keep on wearing it just for that!

Hope you guys are enjoying the sun!

Santhilea Magnetic Lash Mascara - £24.99* c/o Look Fantastic

I was so excited to try this mascara. Its a magnetic fibre mascara that's said to extend and thicken your lashes giving the effect of natural falsies. I never seem to have much luck with mascaras so I couldn't wait to try this.

The mascara came beautifully packaged and contained two tubes, one contained the Magnetic Mascara and the other contained the Lash Builder fibres. I was seriously intrigued and I also wasn't sure whether it would just be another gimmicky thing that didn't actually work... how wrong was I! You start off by applying a generous layer of the Magnetic Mascara and then while the mascara is still wet you gently apply the Lash Builder fibres over your lashes. I thought this step would be really fiddly but it wasn't at all, the fibres went on really easily and there was no fall down whatsoever. You then finish the effect by adding another coating of mascara.

I love how this makes my lashes look!! They don't quite give the same effect as false lashes but they are a really natural alternative and so much easier to apply. This really makes my eyelashes look fuller and longer. This mascara is also seriously long lasting, the first time I applied it I was constantly checking throughout the day to see if any of the fibres had fallen down and to my surprise they hadn't! I would definitely recommend this mascara, especially if you like your high end mascaras.

What do you think of this?
