1. Essie - Fiji nail polish
Most beauty bloggers have had this as part of their monthly
favourite for the last couple of months so it's been a slightly tricky polish
to get hold of and you can see why. It's such a lovely nude shade perfect for
the summer; it'll look great with a tan (if England ever gets any sun) and will
go well with all your outfits and jewellery, as you won't have an issue with
clashing colours.
2. Benefit - Hoola bronzer
Just like the NARS Laguna bronzer this has been on my imaginary
beauty wish list for a while, after using at a friend’s house when I was 16 and I
have wanted it ever since! I love benefit's vintage packaging and just the name sounds appealing.
3. Marc Jacobs - Dot fragrance
This is the latest fragrance by Marc Jacobs and is already
causing quite a stir on blogs; it's said to have notes of dragon fruit, red
berries, honeysuckle and a hint of coconut. The scent is perfect for summer as
it's so fruity and apparently has a real beachy and exotic feel to it. I really
dislike the smell of coconut but I’m intrigued to smell this as the notes are
an interesting combination, not to mention it has such a gorgeous bottle!
4. the Balm - Nude
‘tude Eyeshadow Palette
the Balm is an American brand who similarly to Benefit have
amazing vintage/retro style packaging, which is what first caught my eye and intrigued
me to look further into the brand. This palette was the first product I had
heard about from the brand and I think if I was to buy anything from them it
would be this! Online the palette has been compared to the Urban Decay Naked palette
as it is based around nude/neutral shades. It's quite expensive but has been
rated quite highly on beauty sites, so I think it's definitely a good
investment piece!
5. Make up Forever - Full Cover Concealer
Again another American brand and product that seems to be
very popular with beauty bloggers, I’ve not heard many bad things about Make Up
Forever other than that the products are hard to get hold of for UK buyers and
that when choosing a shade for your skin they can darken once applied, so be
wary of that! The concealer is supposed to be a really amazing full coverage
and buildable concealer. I'm really into my concealers and I’m always looking
for new ones to try so I’m definitely going to have to try this one!
6. Tesco - Tired leg spray
Makeup artist Hayley Fell posted this on her Instragram and
as I currently work in retail I am not stranger to getting tired legs after
working 9 hour shifts. So I was intrigued to see what this was and if it
actually works and apparently it does and is only £3 from Tesco's!

Post a Comment
As an avid watcher of beauty bloggers on YouTube I’ve seen
this tag be passed around quite a lot by bloggers such as Vivianna Does Makeup, Zoella and llymlrs, so I thought I’d give it ago myself but this time as a
blog post, as I don't think I’m quite ready for my YouTube debut. These are
products that I’ve either used up completely or very near to finishing.
Bathroom:
- Miracle Moist Aussie Conditioner - I've loved using this conditioner, I took it on holiday to Kavos with me and just fell in love with it, it’s so conditioning and it smells so amazing, I’m completely addicted to this!
- Moringa shower gel from The Body Shop, again a product that I love because it smells so good, I’ve never heard of Moringa so when I got given a set of body shop mini shower gels I was intrigued to try it and ever since then I’ve just been obsessed with it. I'm going to be sad once I’ve finished this so I'm using it sparingly and I may have to buy the full size.
- Pink grapefruit shower gel again from The Body Shop, (there seems to be a theme here with my bathroom empties) I love anything that smells like pink grapefruit although I’m not keen on the fruit itself. This is such a good product as this has lasted me a few months as you don't need too much as it lathers up really well.
Make-up:
- MAC pro longwear concealer - This is something I’ll re-purchase over and over again it's my favourite concealer ever (well, so far!)
- Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation - Again a product that I can't recommend enough, it suits my skin type so well and lasts me all month, although this product doesn't look empty it is, I had a lot of trouble with getting product out of the bottle!
- Benefit mini High Beam - I got this mini sample free with a glamour magazine ages ago and have only just finished it, it’s lasted me a good while! I would get this again but I was recently given Benefit's Sunbeam highlighter for my birthday and so I’m currently using & loving that.
- 17 supreme shine nail varnish – in the shade simply pink, such a good product for such little money! I love this colour, it does need a few coats for the colour to become really opaque but it's such a lovely baby pink shade, definitely in my top 5 nail varnishes.
Perfume:
Daisy & Daisy Garland both by Marc Jacobs: I received
the original daisy perfume for my 16th birthday and Daisy garland for my 18th
birthday, these perfumes have lasted me ages and I’ve only just come to the end
with them, the scent is quite strong and lasts quite a while which is good as
you don't need to top yourself up too often. To be honest I can't tell that
there is much difference between the two scents, or if there was even meant to
be a difference? I do like these perfumes but I’m not sure if I’d buy them for
myself.
It's my 20th birthday in less than a month (27th June to be
exact) and I was thinking about what I would like to have for my birthday, this
list is a bit unrealistic but I can dream! I was thinking about asking for
things for my bedroom as I am moving house soon and want to make my bedroom
look really girly and cosy, but I think I can buy those things myself over the
summer. A few things on the list I have wanted for ages and others are new
found loves of mine. My top 3 gifts on the list have to be the Mulberry
bracelet, Burberry Perfume which smells amazing and may even beat my current favourite scent Chloe by Chloe and the gorgeous bronzing highlighter Benefit Sun Beam.
Burberry Body Perfume - £45 Fred Perry Halter Neck Dress - £90
Benefit Sun Beam Highlighter - £18.50 OPI mini ballet collection set - £12.95
