My Favourite Beauty Products - Summer 2015

Hello I hope you are all having a lovely week, I break up from Sixth Form for the Summer Holidays on Friday and I can't wait, I'm so excited to go on holiday in the Summer and just chill. I'm going to Alicante with my two best friends in August and then the day after I get back from Alicante, I'm off to Malta with my family. I think this Summer is going to be the best one yet.. 

Todays blog post is going to include my favourite beauty must haves for Summer 2015, I absolutely love beauty products! This will be a small insight into what products I can't live without this Summer.. First of all, I have my skincare essentials and I have to say make up wipes are a must, especially in this hot weather as they are so quick and easy to use to freshen up as well to use to remove make up. The ones pictured below are tea tree ones but I just use any face wipes, I'm not really bothered what brand they are. However, tea tree products are supposed to be really good for your skin, I also have a tea tree cleanser and toner from the Body Shop which is amazing! Another skincare product I love is the Garnier Micellar Water, I bought the green lid one which is for combination and sensitive skin, I had the pink lid one before and I loved it so I thought I would try out a different one. I would definitely recommend this product, I bought one a few months ago and its only just ran out so it definitely is value for money. I actually prefer it to make up wipes because it really does cleanse your skin and gets rid off all of my make up. I bought it for £3.29 in Superdrug last week which is an absolute bargain considering it lasts so long! I also love the fact Garnier have released a mini version of this product as it will be so handy for when I go on my holidays, I love it. Another recent skincare purchase is something I have never tried before up until about a month ago which is Freederm, I have the fast track tube which says it reduces spot size and redness in three hours and I have to say it really does. I've never been one to get loads of spots but I do get the odd few so I think this is perfect to tackle my spots. I use it every night before I go to bed and I love it, I've never tried a spot treatment that has worked so well. The only thing I don't like is it dries out my skin but other than that I can't really complain!

Below are two products I can't live without this Summer, the first one is my Soho Nights perfume that I bought at a shop in New York called Aeropostale. This perfume is amazing, its so fresh and summery, I love it. I also love my Cheryl Storm Flower Body Lotion, I love this body lotion because it smells amazing and its shimmery. I love anything glittery so I just think this is amazing especially as it also moisturises your skin which is so important to do.

These are my favourite make up products for the Summer! I love experimenting with bright and bold make up looks in the Summer and I think this eye shadow palette is perfect for a bright make up look. This eye shadow palette is called Poptastic which is a brilliant name for these eye shadows as they are really bright, this product is from MUA and I have to say the quality of the eye shadows is amazing, they are really pigmented, I love them! The colours are gorgeous and perfect for a fun Summer make up look. Another one of my favourite products is something I have been using for ages which is the Bare Minerals Tapered Shadow and Crease brush which is incredible, its the best eye shadow brush I have ever used, I absolutely love it. Furthermore, as you can see below I have included quite a lot of lip glosses because I just think they are amazing to wear in the Summer. One lip gloss is a lip gloss from the Body Shop in a pinky peach kind of colour (it doesn't say the name/shade), I absolutely love this lip gloss as it smells amazing and the colour is absolutely perfect for a natural kind of look. I also included three mini lip glosses I got in a set of lip glosses for Christmas that were part of a collection therefore I picked out the ones I am most likely to wear in the Summer. I chose a light pink sparkly one, a bright pink one and a pinky purple sparkly one, these colours are gorgeous and perfect for a Summer make up look. I also love the size of them as I can take them anywhere which is always good especially when I'm going out and I haven't got much room in my bag. I left the best till last which are my beautiful Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipglosses, I absolutely love these lip glosses, I bought them on my recent trip to New York and I love them. Bare Minerals is one of my favourite brands, the quality of their products are amazing!!! I bought a set of double ended lip glosses in Sephora and I love them, there are three natural colours for during the day and three brighter, bolder colours for a night time. They are in the shades: Charmer and Spark Plug, Show Off and Hot Shot and Rebel and Stunner.

A Few Things I Picked Up In NEW YORK!

As you could see from my last post I had the time of my life in New York, it was absolutely incredible. If you're thinking of going, I would definitely recommend it. When I was in New York we managed to squeeze in a few hours shopping in between the tourist attractions. I went in to three Sephora's in New York and had a look but my favourite was the one in Times Square as I thought it had the best choice of Bare Minerals make up and it was really close to my hotel. I bought a few things from Sephora such as a Bare Minerals Bronzed and Luminous Kit which is a set of two palettes that can be used to create bronzed and glowing make up looks, a Bare Minerals Gloss on the Go Kit which includes 3 double ended lip glosses which are perfect from going from a daytime look to a night time look and a Sephora Green Tea Face Mask which I can't wait to try as I love face masks.

As soon as I saw the Bare Minerals Bronzed and Luminous Make up palettes I knew I would have to get them. I thought the packaging was gorgeous and I love the quality of Bare Minerals make up. Bare Minerals Eyeshadows and Lipglosses are amazing, they are definitely my favourite brand for make up. 

The Beautifully Bronzed palette includes three Eyeshadows, two Bronzers and one Lipgloss. The Eyeshadows are Magnate, Future and Cognac, the Bronzers are The Ocean View and The High Dive and the Lipgloss is a Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Spark Plug.

The Gorgeously Glowing palette is amazing too, these palettes are going to be amazing to use to create different looks. What I love about them is they are the perfect size for travelling as they've got Lipgloss, Eyeshadows and Bronzer or Blush therefore they will be dead handy when I go away in the summer as I won't have to take a large amount of make up as most of it will be in one of these amazing palettes. The Gorgeously Glowing palette also includes three Eyeshadows, one Blusher, one Illuminator and a Lipgloss. The Eyeshadows are Opulence, Kismet and Apropos, the blusher is The Natural High and the Illuminator is The Magic Moment and the Lipgloss is a Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Show Off. 

I also bought the Gloss on the Go kit which includes three double ended Lipglosses. As you can see the daytime shades are quite a soft natural shade and the night time shades are more vibrant and bold shades. I didn't realise but two of the shades I got in the other palettes, I got in this one which is amazing as the colours are gorgeous and the Bare Minerals Lipglosses are my favourites. The more natural shades are Charmer, Show Off and Rebel which are absolutely gorgeous shades and the bolder shades are Spark Plug, Hot Shot and Stunner. I think these are great value and so handy for when you are wanting to change your lip colour when your out and about as you only have to take one lip gloss rather than two.

I will post looks over the next few weeks using the Bare Minerals Gloss on the Go and the Bronzed and Luminous palettes. I will also post a review of the Sephora Green Tea Face Mask as I haven't used mine yet.

I also went to another shop called Aeropostale which I absolutely loved. I bought a really nice t-shirt from there as well as this amazing perfume. This perfume smelt exactly like Paco Rabanne Black XS perfume and was like quarter of the price therefore I thought it was an absolute bargain. This perfume just smells absolutely heavenly and I think the packaging and bottle is super cute, I love it.
