Beauty Haul

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - This is a repurchase for me, the concealer is very light weight and not very thick. It blends very well but is still quite a high coverage - £5.99

Maybelline Express Remover - I bought this because I am incredibly lazy. This product is supposed to remove your polish instantly instead of using a remover and a cotton pad - £4.99

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo - I already own another shade from this range and they are such long lasting eyeshadows on their own and as bases - £4.99

Benefit High Beam - The consistency is very smooth and thin and sinks in very quickly leaving a gorgeous shine not a sparkle - Set was £9.95

Benefit Bad Gal - A very lengthening mascara that adds a lot of volume and stays all day - Set was £9.95

Benefit Sugarbomb Lipgloss - This is very smooth and feels quite moisturising. The colour is nudey pink with a shimmer - Set was £9.95

Mac Studio Finish Concealer - A very high coverage light and creamy concealer. I use this under my eyes but not on spots as the shade I bought was a bit pinkey - £15.50

I was definitely feeling spendy...

Brand Focus || Rimmel

I'm just gonna put this out there that I have tried quite a lot of rimmel products so I couldn't include all my favourites otherwise this post would be very long. So I've chosen products that I haven't ever really spoken about and that I don't hear people talking about that much but are actually some of my faves. 

Match Perfection Foundation - I have tried so many foundations but every time I don't think they are as good as this one. It has perfect coverage it's not too heavy but not to sheer either. It covers blemishes  but it's also allows your skin to look radiant and still like skin.

Match Perfection Silky Loose face powder- this is actually probably one of my favourite powders of all time, it's perfect for setting concealer under eyes and just for all round the face. It doesn't look powdery but it just sets makeup and stops all unflattering shines coming through.

Lasting  finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint And Balm - this is basically just a lip tint, however they last so long on the lips and I have had one of mine for almost a year and it has not yet dried out. I have mine in the shades nothing but nude (orange) and endless blossom (pink) these are honestly amazing quality and they taste nice too haha.

Lasting Finish Mono Blush in Live Pink - I often forget that I actually have this because it has really small packaging and it always makes it's way to the back of my drawers, however it is actually really nice. It isn't chalky at all and it's a beautiful pink with slight golden/silver shimmer going through and it just gives a really nice subtle, but buildable colour to the cheeks.

Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara  - I am constantly changing my mascaras, which I know is probably not the right this to do but it means I get to try out quite a few different mascaras. This is honestly a really good mascara. it doesn't clump at all and it makes eyelashes look really voluminous and fluttery and I'm a huge fan of this. 

Moisture Renew Lip Liner - in all honesty I haven't tried out all that many lip liners so I'm not exactly an expert in them. However this lip liner is clear so you can use it for all your lipstick colours. And even when I just put on a nude or a lipgloss I like to just put a layer of this on my lips because 1) it's actually really moisturising and 2) it fills in the lines in my lips so when I put any colours on top it makes it look a lot nicer. 

Bronzing Compact Powder in Light Matte - I'd say this is definitely my favourite bronzer or up there in my top two favourite bronzers because this is honestly just a great all round bronzer. Firstly, you can get this in the colour light matte (looks dark in picture) which is perfect if like me you are very pale and also as this is matte it's great for contouring and just simply giving your face a bit more colour.

Polish for Pale People

I am very pale. I can't tan and if I ever try to I end up looking like a lobster, not a good look! The Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Paint in Papaya is the perfect mix of peach and orange. I can't quite explain why but this polish somehow makes my hands/feet look less … white.

Firstly I would like to point out a few colours that I would suggest you miss if you're quite pale (a.k.a learning from my mistakes). Blues, I have recently discovered, are my arch nemesis, some people may suit them if they have a different undertone but blue nail polish makes me look so pale and almost blue as well. Same goes for purples. However, warmer toned nudes, brights and dark polishes somehow warm up my skin as well. 

Not only is this polish's colour game strong, application wise I am yet to find a varnish that is better. An opaque quick-drying colour is there within one to two coats and a few minutes. Very handy if you are impatient like me or are on the go. Overall a very purse friendly product for paler people that is of an amazing quality. Two thumbs up from me! 

Sorry that was only a quickie, but I hope this helped steer the paler-people in the right direction.

June Favourites

Since we have come to the end of June I thought I would show you some of the things I've been loving throughout the month!

Sleek Blush in Rose Gold - I never truly got into this even though I loved the colour. I think this is because I didn't like how the brush I was using applied it. However, since I changed the brush I used to a small contour brush (Mac 109 if your interested) I really love the effect this gives. I put it on the apples of my cheeks and then in between where you would put your contour and highlight. I feel like it just makes me look healthier and more awake because of the lovely gold shimmer going through it. 

Benefit Erase Paste - I have actually had this product a while and I never actually liked it because I felt like it didn't do much. But the other week I tried this out again and I thought it was amazing, it literally covered up my under eye circles amazingly so I'm not to sure what I did wrong last time, but yeah I've just been loving this.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer- I bought this concealer and never actually used it, but when I was looking through my collection for a new concealer to use I saw this one and I've been loving it since.  This is great for blemishes and under eyes either on it's own or over erase paste as I've been doing.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On And On Bronze and Mac Eyeshadow in Ricepaper - I've included these two products as one because I have been loving using them together. I just put the on and on bronze on my lid and then a wash of rice paper over. I don't ever wear colour on my eyelids so this is a bit unusual for me but I love how it looks, it's not too dark, it's just really pretty and quite subtle.

Bourjois Effect 3D  Lipgloss in 51 Rose Chimeric - this is just an average lipgloss really however I really like the applicator because it's more like a lip brush applicator. It's really good to add a bit of shine over a lipstick or just on it's own as it adds a wash of pink too and I'm quite tempted to buy a few more shades. 

Maybelline Color Whisper in Coral Ambition -  I'm always a bit scared to use this too much as you 

can't buy it unless your in America, but since the weather has been a bit warmer, coral lips have just become a colour I've been reaching for more often. I wore this when my I was wearing quite a dark(ish) outfit and the colour wasn't too in your face but just a really nice colour to slap on.

Bourjois Happy Light Matte Serum Primer - I bought this at the same time as the lipgloss as there was a deal on in Boots. This is very different to primers such as benefit POREfessional as this one feels more like a moisturiser and in all honesty I don't notice a massive difference to how long my makeup stayed on my face for but it does make my foundation look a little bit nicer I thought.
