July Favourites

Hey Girlies,
       July Favourites, these are the products I've been loving this month hope you enjoy,

MAKE-UP
Mary Lou highlighter this gives an amazing natural highlight and looks sensational on the skin in any light.This also makes a really nice inner corner highlight with any eyeshadow look.

Mary Lou Highlighter £17.50

Eylure Enchanted Lashes in Cherished, these are 3/4 length lashes that look really natural on the eyes. They have a thin band and are easy to apply, for me they add just a little bit of an edge but yet still look effortless on your eyes. I would really recommend these lashes to anyone.

Eylure Lashes £5.25

My final product that I have been loving is, the Real Techniques Bold Metals Brush in 300 for foundation. This gives a really nice finish to the skin and looks super natural, I like how the brush is weighted when you hold it and how it is tapered so fits under the eye's perfectly.

300 £19

FRAGRANCE
I have really been liking the Ralph Lauren perfume in 2, this is the perfect summer fragrance for me, it's fruity and floral with sweet undertones. I like how it isn't over powering on the skin but it is subtlety recognised on you during the day.

Ralph Lauren 2 £43

HAIRCARE
I have been loving the Lee Stafford for hair that never grows past a certain length treatment, this is has helped my hair so much and it is in good condition using this product. I apply this once a week to the roots and massage down to the ends of my hair and it makes my hair tremendously soft and silky. I use this between shampooing and conditioner as I think this is the best time possible. I really recommend this product to anyone that wants to grow their hair out but the results take time to be seen if you don't use it every time you wash your hair.

Lee Stafford Treatment £8.49 (special offer at boots)

SKINCARE
I adore the Garnier Micellar Water to take off make-up and works really well on my skin, it doesn't give me break outs and it is easy to use at the end of the day.

Micellar Water £4.99 (special offer at boots)

BODYCARE
This month I've really enjoyed the Lush Let The Good Times Roll Face and Body Cleanser. This has a warm scent and it is buttery in consistency, but it leaves your skin super soft with a beautiful scent. I really like how a little goes a long way when using it.

Lush Product £7.25

FOOD & DRINK
The best thirst quenching drink this summer for me is Robinson's Orange Squash with ice cold water. This has been my favourite drink since I was little and every time I want to quench my thirst, this is the drink I reach for.

CLOTHING
This month I've been loving my white converse, I wear them with every outfit and they go with everything. They are so comfortable and don't make an outfit look too casual, they give a nice look.

Converse £45

NAIL PRODUCT
I have really been enjoying the Barry M gelly nail polish in Cotton and Almond. These are both amazing colours on the nails and look fabulous for any occasion, they are more natural colours and can be worn all year round. They last for a long time and don't chip too much when on. I normally put about 2 coats on as I think that gives you the best colour pay off.

Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine £3.99

My Everyday Make-up Brushes

Hey Girlies,

        My Everyday Make-up brushes and what I use them for

I first start with the Real Techniques Buffing brush to apply my foundation this brush gives me an even coverage and application. I like how it's a light weight brush and you can make the coverage a bit thicker in places if you want to.

Concealer, I have 2 different Real Techniques brushes for this the first is the Contour Brush I like how this is tapered and not too dense. The second brush is the Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush this is this gives you a higher coverage finish as you can pack more product on the skin with this and it gives a really flawless finish to the skin.

Buffing Brush £20.99*
Contour Brush £20.99*

For contouring I like to use the Real Techniques Sculpting brush this is a dense brush and quite a defined look to your cheek bones. I like how the brush is slanted and shaped to fit perfectly in the hollows your cheeks.

Sculpting Brush £9.99

Blusher I like to use the Real Techniques Bold Metals 300 brush this is so beautiful for blush it gives a really natural look. The bristles of the brush are so soft and gentle on the face. This brush is also shaped to fit perfecting on the apples of your cheeks to keep your make up look natural.

For my face powder I use the Real Techniques 100 powder brush this is amazing for product as you get an even coverage and the bristles are so soft and delicate on your skin.

Finally eyeshadow brushes, I have a wide selection of these. I have selected my favourite ones to mention, the Nanshy Tapered Crease, Eye Crease and Blending Eyeshadow. All 3 of these brushes are amazing they give perfect product distribution and the bristles are so soft on the eyes. Real Techniques Base Shadow brush this is really nice for crease eyeshadow as it places the product beautifully and make it look natural.

My Everyday Make-up

   Hey Girlies,

           My everyday make-up routine is simple but quick and easy.

First product I like to start with moisturiser, I don't use the same one everyday however this is my favourite one at the moment. That's the Clinique moisture surge, I like the gel texture of the product on my skin and how smooth my skin feels after using it. This is for drier skin and it works on combination skin as well. 

Clinique Moisture Surge £34.00

Next I move onto primer, I like to use Baby Skin by Maybelline. This has a silicon texture and I find it cooling on my skin, however this isn't a product that I love to use because of the texture, so if anyone has any primer suggestions please leave me a comment as I would like to try some more.

Maybelline Baby Skin £7.99

For foundation at the moment I'm using Revlon Colour Stay in Buff 150 mixed with a small amount of Rimmel Match Perfection in Ivory 100. This has really been working for my skin and it looks really natural on my face. The Revlon ColourStay is a full coverage and has a thicker consistency than the Rimmel but I personally don't think its a buildable foundation because I think it would look cakey on the face. The Rimmel Match Perfection is much thinner and for me has a watery consistency but I quite like it for a natural face look on me. Mixed together I think they work really well. I use 1 pump of Revlon ColourStay and about 1/2 a pump of Rimmel Match Perfection.

Concealer, I love the Collection Lasting Perfection in Fair 1. This has to be a staple beauty product for anyone just because of its lasting power and creamy thickness. If I want a highlighting concealer I've been liking using the Seventeen Skin WOW! concealer in medium, this is amazing and very long lasting on my under eyes. I tend to put this on after I've done eyeshadow.

Revlon ColourStay £12.99
Rimmel Match Perfection £7.99
Collection Lasting Perfection £4.19
Seventeen Skin WOW! £4.99

I normally do my eyebrows after concealer, I have been liking using the Mii Precision Brow Pencil in impeccably medium this is a dupe for the Anastasia brow wiz. I personally love this and I think it works really well. I also tend to top it off with Kiko Infinity eyeshadow in 237 and Maybelline Brow Drama in transparent. 

Mii Precision Brow Pencil £12.50
Kiko Infinity Eyeshadow £2.50
Maybelline Brow Drama £4.99

For my face I use Sleek Face Contour Kit in light, Kiko Colour Veil blush in 1 and Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter. I love this combination as it creates a natural looking on my face and the highlighter is beautiful on anyone's skin. I sometimes powder my skin with Natural Collection face powder in cool, this works to matte oily skin and is very inexpensive.

Sleek Face Contour Kit £6.99
Kiko Colour Veil £8.95
Mary-lou Manizer £17.50

For eyes I use the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette (£37) which is amazing, the pigment and lasting of those eyeshadows is the best I've ever tried, I recommend to try any of the naked palettes if you can because they are amazing.

Mascara, for this I like to mix it up all the time, a couple that I have fallen in love with are Mii Showstopping Lash in Diva (£14.50) which gives an amazing length and definition for lashes. The more coats you put on the more defined they are. The other I've been loving is the Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes (£22), this does everything you could ever dream of in a mascara however it does crumble and fall down during the day.

Lastly is lipstick, at the moment I love matte lips. Mac Velvet Teddy looks amazing on my lips and gives a really beautiful look on your lips without being drying. Bourjois Rouge Edition, in 10 this is a matte liquid lipstick which is so long lasting on the lips. Both of these are nude lipstick shades and very flattering on the lips.

Mac Velvet Teddy £15.50
Bourjois Lipstick £8.99

I hope you enjoyed my everyday make-up, leave me a comment about your favourite product or anything you think I should try in my routine.

Lots of love, Chlxbo xx
