Hello, sorry i haven't posted in a week or so, for some reason my camera isn't letting me put any photos on the computer, and its still not but i didn't want to wait much longer to do my june favourites, so i'm going to do them using pictures off google, so sorry about that.
I have a lot of favourites this month, i've been trying out some new things or coming back to products that i already had and realising how much i love them again.
There's also some non-beauty related things.
You can click the images to enlarge them :)

| MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow, Friends, Harry Potter, Tresemme Dry Shampoo, VO5 new pink range, Apprentice, Life as we know it, Waterloo road. |
So quite a lot of things as you can see..
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation- i love this foundation , its dewy looking but doesn't feel greasy or oily, i never feel the need to powder it beause i love the finish i get, its very lightweight on the face, its just a great everday foundation, perfect for summer since its dewy and lightweight. You can buy it here.
W7 tight in a tin and Sally Hansen airbrush legs - i thought i'd compare these two, they pretty much do the exact same thing, give you a lovely colour and make your skin look flawless. I prefer the w7 one purely because it doesnt havent any shimmer, or not that i notice anyway, its great as an instant tan or to cover any flaws, the sally hansen one on the other hand has a lot of shimmer in it since they recently changed the formula, its lovely for night time but in the sun it doesn't look too great, i feel like a discoball! They are both sprays and i would recommend rubbing it in slightly with a fake tan mitt or glove to make it more even. You can find the Sally Hansen one here. I got my W7 one from Atkinsons in Sheffield, but i'm not sure where else you can find it, i'm sure if you google it, you'll find it.
Topshop Blusher in Head Over Heels - I love the topshop blushers as a whole, they are gorgeous blushers and they have a nice range of natural and bright colours, they are £6 and i can only seem to find them in larger topshops rather than little ones, but that might just be on my city. I have the colours neon rose which is a bright reddish pink, and head over heels which is a light peachy coral, i love them both but i've been using head over heels more in june. They are a cream to powder finish but look dewy on the skin. I really want to pick up 'Nutmeg'. You can buy it here.
Garnier Summer Body - This is a lovely gradual tan, so far from using it, i have had no streaks, it smells gorgeous and is the only fake tan i've found that doesn't smell like a fake tan, it has more of an apricot smell which is lovely. It gives a lovely brown colour on my skin and i am very pale, i went for the darker one which is Deep Sunkissed Look rather than the light because lighter gradual tans never really work on my skin. You can get it here.
MAC 188 Brush - i love this brush, i have found multiple uses for it, i've had it since christmas and used it every single day without fail. I've used it for foundation (liquid, cream and powder), finishing powders, blushers (cream and powder), contour powders, bronzers, liquid and powder highlights. Its just a great multi-use brush and i think everyone should own it, its a smaller version of the 187, which i also have but i use that more for foundation and powders. You can get it here.
Liz Earle - my mum has been using liz earle for absolutely years, and she got me into it around 2-3 years ago, i've been using the instant boost skin tonic and the cleanse and polish constantly this month. I can't express how much i love the liz earle range, they clear my skin and i'd recommend it to everyone. You can find it on the the liz earle website, qvc website or in john lewis.
Jemma Kidd Lip gloss - i'm not going to say too much about this, but i wrote a post recently about these lip glosses since i got them free in Red magazine, you can see the swatches on there, i love them. Click here to see my blog post about them and here if you want to buy them, i'm not sure if they are still in Red magazine now, but you could check.
MAC Lady Gaga Lipstick - i love mac lipsticks. i think this was my first mac lipstick, and after buying it i thought it didn't suit my lips, but this month it seemed to work really well with either of the jemma kidd lip glosses on top. I don't know whether this was limited edition, has been discontinued or has run out but i can't seem to find it on the mac website, sorry!
St Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan - I have this in Medium/dark and its such a nice tanner, on the back of the bottle it tells you not to worry about going over the same place twice, since it won't streak as long as you cover everywhere, it'll all be the same colour underneath. Its a gorgeous tan and gives me a natural colour, perfect for summer as it doesnt streak if you go in the sea/have a waterfight etc! You can get this in a few places, such as Debenhams, Asos, Boots, Superdrug and other places.
Panoxyl 2.5% aquagel - This have saved my life! everytime i get a spot i know i can rely on this to reduce/clear it over night. I wouldn't buy it in a stronger percent as i know it would dry out my skin a lot, this ones dries it out ever so slightly, but its also helped get rid of a lot of oily-ness in my t-zone which i'm not complaining about! :) If it does dry out my skin too much its nothing a little moisturiser can't solve! You can get it for around £3 over a chemist counter. I got mine from the chemist in boots. So much more effective and cheaper than 'miracle' spot treatments. This is the best thing i've ever used for spots.
MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow - love this eyeshadow, i can use it effortlessly all over the lid and then build it up in the crease for a more dramatic effect, a must-have eyeshadow for any neutral smokey eye lover! You can get it here
Tresemme Dry Shampoo - I have both the foam version and the spray version, and i don't know why they call the foam one a 'dry shampoo' because although you don't have to phsically get in the shower to use it, i still feel the need to use a haridryer after. Its good and pretty much the same effect but i prefer the spray one, leaves my hair looking and feeling very clean and fresh, smells lovely too. You can find it here
VO5's Pink range - Vo5 have recently brought out a new range, its all in pink bottles and i have been loving it, they have some amazing things, the things that i have from the range are the Heat Protectant, Give Me Texture tousled style spray, Give Me Texture instant oomph powder, Miracle Mist, Plump it up weightless mousse, Ultimate hold weather resistant hairspray and the give me moisture shampoo and conditioner.All these products are amazing, i'm aboslutely in love with them and i'd love to try out more of the range. You can see the full range of shampoos, conditioners, styling products, and treatments on the VO5 website. I really want to try the miracle concentrate! For some reason i can't find it on the boots or superdrug websites, but it is definitely in stores!
Television and Movies - I've been loving watching Friends, The Apprentice and Waterloo road. I could watch friends all day, they never get old, Chandler, Phoebe and Ross are my favourites.. PIVOT! The apprentice has got me hooked this series and i really want Helen or Jim to win! Waterloo Road has always been one of my favourite programmes, even though a school would never have that much drama everyday, i love it! Also watched Life as we know it recently, i wanted to see it in the cinema but never got round to it, such a good film, had my laughing and crying! loved it!
I've been watching harry potter so much recently, i've always been a massive fan of harry potter, its my favourite film by far, seriously cannot wait for the 15th July, i'm a bit of a harry potter nerd. I'm so excited to see the last one but also don't want to end, as sad as it might sound i know for a fact tears will be streaming as i leave the cinema :(
So that's everything! Sorry for such a long post with lots of writing! I'm thinking about starting a youtube channel as stuff like this would be a lot easier to do, but i'm not too sure about that yet :)
Hope you all had a good month in June, and i'll keep you posted throughout July! :)
Love Amy x

I've never heard about the W7 Spray before. How much does it usually retail for ? I'd love to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteLove the bourjois foundation too. Definately beats any other drugstore foundation!

Its really good, i think it retails for around £3, i'm pretty sure its nothing over £5 so a cheap and better dupe for the sally hansen one :)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about the foundation!
