Essie 'Stylenomics'

Not your typical summer nail polish colour but I love this dark forest green shade. Its very dark on the nails almost verging on black, perfect for those who like vampy nails.

Bourjois So Laque Glossy 'Amanda Defile'

This is such a lovely mint. Its more of a green mint than a blue mint which personally I prefer. The formula is also amazing.

Models Own 'Pray'

Again, probably not what most people would choose for summer but a really nice mushroomy grey colour, almost like a warm dark taupe.

Essie 'Absolutely Shore'

Probably my all-time favourite summer nail polish shade. A super pale mint colour that looks amazing with a tan. I don't know why there is so much hype over Essie's 'Mint Candy Apple' because this in my opinion is so much nicer!

Barry M Hi-Shine Gelly 'Lychee'

Another firm favourite of mine, a really gorgeous pinky nude colour. I usually find nude colours too grey for my skintone but this one compliments it perfectly!

What are your summer favourites?

DRESS - Primark, HEELS - New Look, WATCH - Fossil, RINGS - New Look & Topshop

I wore this dress a few weeks ago to celebrate the end of exams and I absolutely love it. I'm really loving monochrome at the moment and I think the print on this dress is a perfect way to wear the trend. I love how you can make it look completely different by pairing different accessories with it as well. A firm favourite already!

Sorry the posts have been less frequent lately but I've just been so busy. For the time being I'll try to stick to posting every other day but since I'm away for a month the posts may become less frequent then. I hope you guys are having a lovely summer.

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?
