Things I Love For Summer and Recent Purchases!

Hello, 

I'm sorry about it being a month since my last blogpost, (luckily Emma. W saved the day by writing a post to publish on Thursday!) but all my exams are over and I've been working on a blogpost (that's taking me longer than expected) and I thought why not write a relaxed, hopefully interesting blogpost?! 

So here are some things I love for summer and recent purchases of mine!

Seventeen Miracle Matte Pressed Powder

I bought thus powder from boots recently and I think it's great! It sets your makeup and helps to keep your skin from looking shiny throughout the day, because none of us want our skin to look really greasy and oily!

It was £3.99, so very affordable!

It has a good sized mirror in it as well, so it's great for on the go!

Seventeen Clear Definition Mascara

Clear mascaras are great because they have multiple uses - as a mascara, a brow gel and they can tame the little bits of hair on your hairline that refuse to stay down, so it's a very handy product to have! 

This one cost £4.69, and you can buy it in Boots!

Seventeen Lip Crayon 

This lip crayon, which has no colour name, was a free gift I received for buying two Seventeen products. I don't think I would've bought it if it wasn't free, but it's nice. It goes on your lips a very bright red-orange colour, with a lot of shine. 

I don't know how much they cost, and I think there was a choice of only two colours.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 

I bought this because I've seen it around and I just felt like trying it! It claims to be hypoallergenic, which is good for all of you who are like me and have very very sensitive skin! It is refreshing and takes off makeup really well, and the bottle is massive so is amazing value for money. I can't remember the exact price, sorry, but you can buy it in Boots and probably Superdrug as well! Who can spot the cat in the photo?

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum

I bought this in the shade Vanilla, which when I initially looked at the bottle I thought would be too dark, but it's a great match for my skin! It's light and not a very high coverage, but that's what I'd want in a foundation, I wouldn't want it to be too heavy! It's got a warmer, more yellow tone for it, so if you have a cooler, more pink toned skin tone, it's probably not for you. It costs around £11, which I think is a good price for a product of such good quality, and you can buy it in Boots and Superdrug.

Seventeen Stay Time Concealer

I bought this concealer because they had no Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer left in the right shade for me, and it's almost exactly the same, but I'd say the formula is less drying, so less likelyto look cake-y on your face! The Collection concealer is £4.19 in Boots and Superdrug and the Seventeen concealer is £4.79 (I think) in Boots. 

Bourjois Délice de Poudre

One of the main reasons I love this is because of the smell! I think it smells amazing, but some people don't, it's really a matter if opinion! But it's lovely to just warm up the face with, again like the foundation, it's quite warm toned, so people who have fair and pink toned skin might find it looks a little orange. You can buy this in Boots and Superdrug, I can't remember how much it costs.

Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

Of course, you have to have a waterproof mascara for summer! I love this one, it holds the curl in your lashes and gives them length and volume! I think it costs around £8, and you can buy it in Boots and Superdrug!

Bourjois Colour Boost 

I have the colour 'Peach on the Beach' which is an amazing bright pink/peach colour, it's very opaque and is very glossy on the lips. Again, I'm sorry, I can't remember the price, but it's available in Boots and Superdrug.

Revlon Lip Butter

I love the Revlon lip butters - they are moisturising and come in a wide range of colours! I love Wild Watermelon, it's a gorgeous coral-red colour, perfect for summer!

My Cats!

Cats are just great all year round, Percy looked too cute not to take a photo of and include in the blogpost haha! Poppy and stitch (his mum and brother) and of course, Percy, are with me now as I am writing this, they're stuffing their faces with food in my room away from the dogs!

I really hope you enjoyed this blogpost and it was interesting to you!

Please comment letting me know what you thought, all feedback is appreciated!

Lots of love,
