August Favourites

It's the end of the month already so that means another monthly favourites post. 

1. I have been using two foundations this month. The first is Max Factor Lasting Performance and the second is Max Factor Xperience Foundation. I have been using Lasting Performance for a long time and really like it but do find that sometimes the colour can be a bit dark. I am still trying out the Xperience foundation but so far I like is and the shade is lighter that the Lasting Performance.

2. For my eyes, I am still using Urban Decay's Naked Palette a lot. I have also been using Mac's Parfait Amour eyeshadow. I have been trying some of Michael Todd's single eyeshadows.

3. I have haven't tried anything new with mascara's this month so I have been sticking with Urban Decay's Supercurl and NYX Doll Eye Mascara.

4. For my lips I have been using a very simple product, Vaseline. It seems to have resolved my dry lips problem. I have also been using Benefit's Wild Card lipstick.

5. I am using Michael Todd's 'Sugar Daddy' blush for my blushing needs. I have also been using Elf's blush from the Elf blush and bronzer.

6. I have tried keeping my nails without polish but when I have used polish I have used Catrice Purplelized nail polish, along with Barbara Daly 'Goodye Yellow'. I will review this soon as I have been using it for a long time.

7.  Regarding brushes I have been using Elf's powder brush and I am also liking a new, well new to me, eyeshadow brush from No7. I am also using Elf.s blusher brush a lot.

8. To keep my make-up on longer I have been loving and using 'All nighter', which is a makeup setting spray. It is a very light mist which is why I like it and it also really helps make-up stay fresh.

July Favourites

I know it's a few days into August so I apologise for being a little bit late with my July Favourites.  

1. I'll start with what I have definitely been using the most. It also made an appearance for the June favourites.  It's Urban Decay's Naked palette.  I still use this nearly everyday and also night for creating different looks. 

2. I have also been using Urban Decay's Supercurl mascara a lot this month since I received it for my birthday. It  really finishes off an eye look and is great for day and night time.  

3. With regards to foundation I have been using Max Factor Lasting Performance. It gives me great coverage and also gives a flawless look.  

4. For priming my eyes before eyeshadow I have been using Revlon Vital Radiance. It gives great longevity to any eyeshadow that I apply and also prevents any creasing.  

5. For my lips I have been using a Benefit lipstick in LaLa Land. I will be reviewing a few of Benefits lipsticks soon. 

6.  I have been using a variety of different blushers and bronzers over the past month. I have been trying to use different ones instead of using my Benefit Coralista and also testing some other's for review purposes.  

7. For my nails I have been using, again, Penny's Cornflower and also Tesco's Barbara Daly Goodbye Yellow.

8. For my brushes I have been using mainly MAC 187 for foundation and No7 concealer brush and also Elf stippling brush for applying my high definition powder. I have used some other brushes too but these have been the ones I have used most.  

June Favourites

I've decided to share the make-up products that I have been using regularly and that I loved over the past month.

    1.  The Urban Decay Naked Palette, which as been out for over a year.  I have had this since the end of May and have used it everyday of June. I have created a variety of different day and night looks with this palette. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good palette. It is also great for travelling and the case is sturdy so it doesn't get damaged. 

   2. Also something I reviewed recently that I constantly reach for and have used a lot in June has been my Benefit Coralista blusher. This has a lovely light pink coral tone when applied with a light hand. However if required for going out it, more can be applied and it creates a great night time look. 

3. I received this eyeliner as a gift from an eBay purchase and I wasn't expecting it to be very good but I was surprised to find that this is a great gel eyeliner. It's available from 3act*beauty. It lasts all day and it's very easy to apply. I have since purchased other colours of this gel.  

4. I have been using a variety of different foundations this month and the reason is that I can't find one that I actually like so therefore I'm not going to mention any particular one for June favourites. Hopefully I'll have found one for July favourites.  

5. Regarding nail polish I have been using mainly two in June. One is from Essence called 'Movin'On'.  It's a very neutral brown-grey colour. It's a great colour as it doesn't over power a look. The second is from Primark and it's called 'Cornflower'. I wasn't expecting alot from this polish, however it has amazing staying power and doesn't chip for up to four days. 

   6. If I have a long day I will usually spray some ELF Studio  Makeup Mist & Set. I like this as it sets the makeup to make it last all day. 

   7. I have a variety of mascara, all to do something different, however at the end of May I decided to try one from the Essence range. I had tried other products by them before however not a mascara. I was very surprised by how much I liked this one. It has great longevity and is waterproof. It also makes lashes look full. 

   8. The lipgloss I have used most over the past month has been something that I received as a Christmas present however had never opened. I love these lipglosses. I'm currently using the lightest pink shade. It gives lips a nice colour that isn't overwhelming.
