June favourites

Skincare

Nuxe Gentle Exfoliating Face Gel – Very gentle on my 
sensitive skin so I’ve been using this face scrub 2/3 times 
a week.  I bought this in France but I found thisebay seller 
sells in the UK too.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat - I use this as a moisturiser/primer.  
I was watching a Sally Hughes video a while ago where she 
said you have to pat it onto the top of your skin rather than 
rubbing it in like a moisturiser.  This method works so well 
before I apply my foundation.

Origins Super Spot Remover - I think I'm now on my third 
little bottle but nothing else helps my spots quite like this.

Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub – Ohemgee, this stuff 
smells amazing and leaves my skin baby soft.

Makeup

Benefit They're Real mascara - Last month I raved about 
the Lush Eyes Right mascara but I'm a fickle girl.  Believe 
what you hear, this stuff is amazing.

Mac Patisserie - I finally got round to buying this and I 
think I've worn it basically everyday since then! 
The perfect glossy 'my lips but better' shade.

Benefit Hervana blusher - The perfect summer blusher, 
and I'm really impressed with the lasting power.

What have you guys been loving this month?

May Favourites

Here's my May favourites, I didn't even have to think what to include as these products have been getting so much love from me recently!

Skincare
Superfacialist Tea Flower Clay Mask - I leave this face mask on for five minutes and can see instant results when I wash it off.  I've been using this once or twice a week recently and it's a lovely product.
Nuxe Dry Oil - This is just amazing! I apply a thin layer before my moisturiser at night and in the morning my skin is glowing.  It helps to even out both dry patches and combat oiliness.
Avene Soothing Eye Contour Cream - This is my favourite eye cream, it's very gentle and really helps soothe tired eyes.

Makeup
No 7 BB Cream - This is the first BB cream I've ever got along with.  As it's designed for oily skin, it doesn't make my face look like an oilslick like most other BB creams I've tried.  I've been wearing this on its own with concealer most days this month and I'm really not missing my usual heavy foundations!
Kiko Blusher - This is the perfect bright pink blusher for summer.  I just need a tiny amount and it lasts all day too.
Lush Eyes Right Mascara - This is the only mascara I've ever re-purchased!  The small brush means it's great for corner lashes, and it's good for volume too.
Benefit Boi-ing Concealer in 01 - This is my new wonder product, I even made my sister buy it!  It's great for undereyes, redness and blemishes, such an all-rounder.
EcoTools Concealer brush - I use this to apply the Benefit concealer, it's the perfect size for concealing the undereye area.

FOTN #1

 I went out for a few drinks last night, here is the makeup look I went for.  I tried out the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation and I quite liked it.  It's pretty sheer coverage, but with a good primer and a bit of concealer I think my skin looked pretty nice.  I wore my favourite eyeshadow of the moment too, Lhasa by Nars.  My dress was just £5 in the New Look sale, such a bargain.  Lacy dresses like this are a bit of a wardrobe staple for me!  Sorry for the blurry phone picture of it.  This photo also made me realise how long my hair is right now!

New in: Ren, Essie & Revlon

                                           Essie nail varnish in Maximilien Strasse Hier 
                                           Revlon Nearly Naked foundation in 120 Vanilla
                                           Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Honey
                                          REN glycolactic Radiance Renewal mask

So I went into Superdrug the other day meaning to treat myself to a new Essie nail varnish.   Once in Superdrug I realised they had a 3 for 2 on, and somehow ended up buying the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation, a Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Honey (never tried these before but I like it so far!) and the Essie varnish (please don't make me type out the name again!).  THEN I remembered that my mum had given me a 20% off voucher for Marks & Spencer.  A few months ago, the Marks & Spencer's on Argyle St Glasgow opened a new beauty hall with brands such as Nuxe, Ren, Apivita and Pur Minerals.  It is incredible and I could happily spend all day perusing the aisles of skincare, makeup, hair products and body care.  I've read so many amazing things recently about the Ren Glycolactic Radiance Renewal mask but at £30 I couldn't quite justify it.  Getting it at £24 is still expensive but I tried it out last night -worth every penny.  Now please don't let me buy anything else for the foreseeable future, this is ridiculous.

PS. I've also made a bloglovin' page so you can follow me over there too if you like! :)

What’s In My Makeup Bag

 Bourjois brow pencil – I use a brow kit from Sleek to fill in my eyebrows in the mornings but keep a pencil handy for touch-ups throughout the day.

 Mac Mineralise Skinfinish in Medium – This is so good for any shiny forehead problems.

 Lush Eyes Right mascara – Such a good mascara, and the bottle is the perfect size to carry about.

Topshop lipstick in Innocent –  A nice bright pink, and I love the formula of this.  Well done Topshop.
Benefit Boi-ing concealer - I bought this a few months ago on a complete whim and I love it.  Shade 01 is perfect for my pale Scottish skin and it lasts all day.
