MAY / JUNE FAVORITES

Hello Beauties ❤️

It's been a long minute since I last blogged, which I promise  has come to and end. I am completely dedicating and committing to putting out as much content as I can. 

During the months, I've had the chance to try out and discover some new and somewhat unexpected use of  some products which I've absolutely loved incorporating into my routine, so I thought it would be the perfect time to do a months favourite reviewing them for you all.

MAY/JUNE 2016 FAVORITES

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs And Rosewater. £5.95 - £10.25 www.beautybay.com

Use it to set makeup, soothe skin in dehydration conditions, or to give skin a boost anytime, anywhere. 

Mario Badescu Facial Spray

This gives me a healthy glow when used before makeup helps make everything go on very smoothly, and after makeup to prevent that cakey or powdery look. Use this also when I need to refresh and hydrate during the day for a soothing pick me up. Can be used also on hair after styling when hair needs a refresher. Highly recommended.

NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint. £30.00 www.narscosmetics.co.uk

I got a sample of this product when it was released from a NARS counter just to try as am not really a fan of skin tints, I prefer a full coverage foundation. I didn't think much of it at first, but after using it a second time I started to really notice the difference it made to my skin by just using a couple of drops. I was highly impressed. This transforms the look of skin immediately and over time when applied, has a medium buildable coverage. 

NARS Velvet Matte Skin Tint

Works well with other makeup products such as concealer, powder, bronzer and it doesn't fade or look chalky.  I love it because it's lightweight, look just like skin and works really well. Coverage is flawless for a skin tint and offers enough coverage for an everyday look or when you just want something easy and fast to coverup. Am definitely going to be purchasing the full size as this is going to be my go to summer staple, it also contains SPF 30 which is perfect for those hot sunny days ahead and lasts long. 

Comes in 12 global shades which is good so you can always get a pretty good match selection for your skin. 

Give this a try, go get a sample play around with it and see how you like it..

Gerard Cosmetics Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks. www.gerardcosmetics.com  www.beautybay.com

I am currently obsessed with these liquid lipsticks. The formulation and pigmentation is soo smooth and amazing, feels nice and comfortable on the lips, not overly drying for a matte finish. One coat gives a nice opaque color. 

Gerard Cosmetics Hydra Matte Lipsticks

Extremely long lasting,easy application which wears beautifully all day, and fades really evenly and naturally after hours of wear. I just love love these liquid lipstick.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks 250ml. £3.99 www.superdrug.com

I discovered this amazing product by watching a video on YouTube, where the vlogger used this as a face primer.. YES a primer!  I was instantly amazed because her makeup looked absolutely stunning. So I decided to fairly give this product a try and I must say it has not let me down. I apply it after my moisturizer before makeup, to make my skin supple and makes my makeup look flawless. 

Palmers Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks, £3.99

Contains Shea butter, Argan Oil, Almond Oil, Collagen, Elastin which at first had me thinking this product is going to have me oily in the face but turned out to be the opposite. It makes my skin look amazing, makeup glides on perfectly, stays and last longer. I love it soooo much!!. 

Dove Purely Pampering Nourishing Body Oil in Shea Butter and Warm Vanilla. £8.99 www.boots.com

I've been obsessed with Shea butter or anything with Shea butter in it lately- great benefits. And Oh my  when I tell you this product is heavenly I kid you not. The warm vanilla scent takes you to beautiful place. It's a light hydrating body oil and feels luxurious, has some soft golden shimmery glow which makes it a perfect when you want to add a glow and show more skin during the summer. 

Dove Purely Pampering Nourishing Body Oil

Smells divine, and contains rich nourishing ingredients to nourish, soothe and repair the skin. Also relaxing and because it's light, absorbs quickly, you can get dressed straight away. At an affordable price of £8.99 this is perfect for an affordable yet impressive staple. 

L'Oreal Infallible Fixing Mist. £7.99 www.boots.com

Makeup finishing spray sets and extends makeup for a long lasting finish. With a micro fine texture this product can be used post makeup. A very impressive product that keeps my makeup perfect all day.. 9 hours without any creasing or fading. 

L'Oréal Paris Infallible Fixing Mist

It's worth every penny. Gives a soft matte finish to makeup once it sets in the face which I personally love. Use this in my daily routine. Just make sure to shake it properly before using and I wouldn't recommend this if you have very dry skin.

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores. £23.00 www.boots.com

This mask acts like a magnet to draw out deep dwelling pore-cloggers, absorbs environmental toxins and dissolves impurities to make skin breath. I use this once a week to keep my skin nice and clean. 

Origins Clear Improvement Mask

It adds a glow to the skin, with visible difference a day after I use. I like the fact that it doesn't crumble on the face when it dries out like other masks. A little goes a long way with this mask, so good value for money as it will last. Great product all in all, definitely recommend this.
