June Favourites 2014

I wasn't sure if I was even going to get around to writing this post up as everything has been so crazy recently, anyway here it what I have been loving this month. It's not loads but they are all new discoveries this month. 

I did a review last week on Tanya Burr's lip gloss in Afternoon Tea. Yes I am incredibly late to this party but I am so glad I joined in. The shade it's self is very natural and girly and I think looks best with a 'simple base and eye liner' look for everyday. If you are scared of the sticky feeling then don't worry this lip gloss is sticky free but I made the mistake of wearing it on a windy day and then ended up with hair stuck in my lip gloss (it was not a good look!). Other than that I love this lip gloss and you can read a more in depth review here.

Keeping with the makeup products I have a new eye shadow I am loving. Usually I am a 'palettes girl' as all the shades are in one place and it makes pairing shadows so much easier. But I popped into pound land the other week to see if they had any good beauty products and I saw this little gem. It is the L'Oreal Colour Infallible in the shade 016 Coconut Shake, which is also a matte finish. I have another two of these but they are in quite dark shades and I only really whip them out for events and occasions; I love them but they are not really what I go for on an everyday basis. This however is the absolute perfect base shadow that i can wear on it's own or with another shade in the crease, liquid or pencil liner depending on my mood and lashings of mascara. This is what I have been wearing most of June.

Everyone loves the 'dewy look' in summer and don't get me wrong I am part of this club too; but some days it can just look a bit too dewy - more like verging on sweaty- and that is not a good look on more. So that is when I reach for my trusty Jemma Kidd Bio-Mineral Perfecting Powder in 01 light. I used to be a huge fan of the Rimmel Stay Matte powder but the packaging was so rubbish and I needed a compact with a mirror that was really sturdy for when I just chucked it in my bag. I love all Jemma Kidd packaging- it is just so girly yet practical. This powder is wonderful at setting my makeup and reducing shine.

A favourites post wouldn't be complete without mentioning a nail polish I have been obsess with this month - Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Polish in Posh Pink. I bought this on a whim, I saw it for a couple of pounds so wasn't really expecting much. It claims that it stays on your nails for up to 10 days, I didn't stay on quite that long but I managed to get 5 days wear out of this which coming from the girls who paints her nails every other day this is seriously impressive! Colour wise it is amazing, it's bright but not neon, bold but not in your face. I would even go as far as saying it may be my perfect pink nail polish shade...

Finally I just want to mention that I am loving the Hugo Boss Boss Jour Pour Femme (it's the white bottle if you're not sure!!). This is actually my mums but we did a little swap of perfumes the other week - just to mix things up a bit - and I have kind of fallen in love with this. I am not very good at describing scents but I will give it a go : I would say it is a floral but fresh and citrus fragrance with warm woody undertones.
