These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things | June Favourites

Hello my lovelies, I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Me & the boyfriend went to the cinema last night & saw 'The Five Year Engagement' and it was rubbish! It was far too long & is certainly one for watching n DVD and not wasting £20 in the cinema!

I can't believe it's time for my June favourites, this time last month I was excited to be going on holiday. How time flies! Here is what I've been loving this month...
 Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow Iced Gold | MUA Lip Balm Sweet Kiss | Victoria's Secret Coconut Passion | Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish | Clarins Liquid Bronze For Face & Décolleté
L-R | MUA Lip Balm Sweet Kiss & Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow Iced Gold

Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow 'Iced Gold' - I bought this product well over 6 months ago and had never really used it before this month. I've been using it as a highlight on the cheekbones and it just adds a lovely natural glow to my tan. I also find this easier to use than a liquid highlight because it comes in a solid compact with a large mirror, perfect for travelling. 

MUA Lip Balm 'Sweet Kiss' -  My local Superdrug only started stocking the MUA professional range a couple of weeks ago & I was so excited when I saw the new stand! I'd heard a lot of good things about these lip balms & I was not disappointed. This lip Balm provides a lovely sheer wash of colour &  at the same time feels like it's really moisturising my lips. I'm certainly going to pick up the other shades in the range.

Victoria's Secret Body Fragrance Mist 'Coconut Passion' - I picked this up in duty free before my holiday and have pretty much used it every day since. It's perfect for using on the beach, in the gym or just for every day use & it smells delicious. I can't wait for the Vicoria's Secret store to open in London so I can pick up more from the range.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - I can't count how many bottles of this I've bought & it doesn't matter how many other cleansers I try I always come back to this old favourite. If I'm having a particularly bad skin day/week I know nothing else will help my skin like Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish. I'm never without a bottle of this & if you haven't tried it yet I cannot recommend it enough, buy it now!

Clarins Liquid Bronze For Face & Décolleté - I know I mentioned this in my May favourites but this is still a firm favourite of mine & I've used it for the whole of June. I've got a lovely tan on my body from Turkey but was very cautious of burning my face so slapped a high SPF on my face. I use this every couple of days & it just leaves a lovely natural tan that matches my body. i recently posted a full review of this that you can read by clicking here

So there we go, my June favourites! I can't believe we're more than half way through the year now, where's the time going?!

I'd love to know what your June favourites are, what have you been loving this month?

Review: ELF Eyelid Primer

I know... 2 primer reviews in 2 days... what's that about?!

But I HAD to tell you about this primer... I LOVE IT!!!


ELF Eyelid Primer

I seem to be loving ELF products at the moment, I can't resist a bargain & their products are such good quality for the price.


As you can see the primer is cream shade, it's very smooth and easy to apply and you only need the tiniest amount for each eye.


Urban Decay 'Toasted' & 'Hustle' without primer

It's hard to show on camera but using the primer makes the shadows alot more vibrant than without a primer.

Again, It's hard to show exactly what this primer does on camera but I hope you can see the difference, I think the eyeshadow is alot more vibrant and stands out alot more than without the primer.

I use this primer nearly everyday, I apply it at 6am each morning before work and my eyeshadow is still going strong at 6pm when I get home. I have used the same eyeshadow without this primer and it didn't last half as long.

I cannot reccomend this primer enough, if you're a fan of Urban Decay PP then you HAVE to check this out... and the best bit?

It's only £1.50!!!

Only available on the ELF website.

What is your favourite eyelid primer?
