June Makeup

So it's the end of the month therefore time for another monthly makeup post. if you are a new reader this is basically a full face of the things I've been loving this month. So without further ado lets get into the products I have been loving.

 

So I've actually been wearing primer this month as it's been super hot, I've been loving the NYX Pore filler which is like a lighter version of Benefit Porefessional. It just fills in the pores and leaves the skin super smooth and ready for foundation. I have been loving the new Lancôme Ultra wear foundation which is the most gorgeous satin finish base. This shade now I have a tan is a little too pale for me so will probably go away for a little while however I am a little sad about that as it is just the most gorgeous summer base. For Concealer I've been using the Clarins Instant concealer as it is just the perfect light weight concealer which packs a punch coverage wise.

 

 

For the rest of my face I've been keeping it super simple, just using the Maybelline bronzer palette which has four really pretty glowy bronzers which are perfect for this time of year. Then I've been applying a little bit of Laura Geller Gelato swirl highlight in Charming pink, which for me I definitely prefer to Gilded honey which is slightly too dark on my skin most of the time. For the brows I've been using my Smashbox brow pencil in Dark brown which I use to feather out the brows as I've been trying to keep them a little more natural than normal.

 

For the eyes I've been doing nothing special. I've just been using the NYX wonder pencil in the shade light into the waterline to widen my eyes and then applying a huge amount of mascara. The one I've been reaching for is the Mac Instacurl mascara which is the most beautiful lengthening curling mascara. Finally to finish off the look I've been using the Jeffree Star Liquid lipstick in the shade Watermelon Soda which is from last years summer collection but is still available on Beauty bay. It is the most stunning really bright pop of pink and I absolutely love it for summer.  

 

So that's it for today, what have you been wearing a lot this month?

The Liquid lipsticks no-one talks about

 

Today I thought I would talk about some lesser spoken about liquid lipsticks. These aren't particularly products I've never seen talked about but they are products which I don't think get enough love.

 

The Balm's meet Matt(e) Hughes are so beautiful, they smell absolutely incredible and go on so beautifully smooth. These are definitely one of the most comfortable lipsticks I have ever worn. I have two of the nude shades. The one in the photo above is Committed and I also have the shade Charming which is a little darker and a slight bit more brown. I feel like a lot of people don't even know these exist so I would definitely suggest that you check them out.

 

Next up we have Dose of colours. Now these are not easy to get in the UK, I actually picked mine up from Beauty bay when they used to ship these to us. They are the most gorgeous velvety finish and look so incredible on the lips. The shade in the photo is truffle which is a gorgeous nude but I also love is Kiss of fire which is a beautiful pinky toned red. I am pretty sure I'm going to have to make a order off their website soon because I adore them.

 

I feel like Gerard Cosmetics are a brand which are kind of controversial brand however I absolutely love their liquid lipsticks. I pick these up from Beauty bay as they're only £11.00. Again these are very comfortable and go onto even the driest of lips so beautifully. Out of all five these are probably the least long lasting however I can still get a good 6 hours wear out of them.

 

Next up is the Rimmel Provocalips lip lacquers. I have honestly never heard anyone talk about these but they are incredible. It is a two part system so you apply the satin lip colour and then put the sealing lipgloss over the tp. These last ridiculously well and layer up really nicely if you want to fill in the middle of the lips. I have honestly never tried a more comfortable liquid lip and would definitely recommend giving them a go.

 

So that's it for today, I'd love to know what liquid lipsticks are your favourite. 

Committed, Truffle, Make your move, Iced Mocha, Saint.



 

Finally I have another controversial product which are the Lime crime velvetines, I absolutely love these. They kind of remind me a little of the MUA Velvet lip lacquers just a lot more high end feeling. I actually only have the shade Saint however I'm definitely going to be picking up some more shades as I am completely in love with them and how they feel on the lips.

The Bullet journal haul

 

So I have been getting into bullet journaling and I thought I would show you some of the things I've been picking up recently.

 

First off I decided to pick up a new bullet journal and start afresh. I went for the Berry shade and also got a matching pen loop. I always pick these up from amazon as they are a little cheaper than anywhere else. I always go for the dotted as I find it makes it much easier to draw in my layouts. I decided to pick up some of the Edding 1880 in both the 0.5 and the 1.0. These pens are so fine and make it so easy to do some serious detail in my doodles. I picked these up from Cult pens and was really happy with the delivery, I also got a cute little smiley clip which you can see in the photo above.

 

Also from Cult pens I picked up 5 rolls of Washi tape just to add some colour to my journal. I picked up both lilac and black spotted tapes, a pale salmon, a bright pink geometric design and another bright pink stripes. Finally I picked up a set of brush pens from Amazon. I know the Tombow brush pens are incredibly popular for Bullet Journaling however I wasn't sure how much I would use them as they definitely are an investment so I decided to give these a go first. There's a mix of different colours and they have definitely convinced me that I do want the Tombow pens. The pastel pens are most definitely going to be mine in the next couple of months.

 

So that's it for today. I'd love to know what your favourite Bullet Journal supplies are. 

Drugstore brands I want to try more from.

 

So my high end version of this went down really well so I thought I would do a more budget version of it. I'd love to know what brands which you guys are looking to try more from whether they are in the drugstore or more high end products.

 

The first brand is Soap and Glory, their Solar powder bronzer is something which is so highly spoken about. I find on me it's a little too light on me however it is a really nice one for more subtle makeup days. I have then tried the little sexy mother pucker lip crayons which are so nice especially for the very low price. Things I want to try from the brand are the One heck of a blot primer, the Supercat liner and the Made you blush cheek colours.

 

The second brand I want to try more from is No7. I have actually only tried their lip liners and lipsticks which I am a big fan of both. The lip liners are very similar in texture to the Charlotte tilbury Lip cheat liners and the lipsticks are beautifully creamy. One of the main things I want to try from the brand is the Lift and Luminate foundation which Kathleen lights loves. I have a very similar skin type to her so I 100% trust her recommendations. I'd also love to try their BB lips so I could compare them with my beloved Clarins Instant light lip perfectors.

 

The final brand I wanted to talk about today is Gosh. Their Rebel eye mascara is one of my all time favourites and again as with the No7 liners they are super creamy. The lipsticks are so lovely and the Lumi drops are beautiful when mixed into the foundation. I'd like to give their bronzer a go as I've heard good things and I'd also love t try some more shades of the Lumi drops. Finally I'd like to try the foundation drops.

 

So that's it for today, i'd love to know what your favourite products are rom these brands.
