Simple Summer Make Up

Whilst I love creating different summer looks, there's nothing worse than the feel of heavy make-up on a warm day.. Especially after spending so long creating the look, only for it to melt off in seconds.

So whilst recently on holiday in Spain, I took full advantage of my time in the sun to find the best combination of products to create a "simple summer look" to combat shininess & uneven skin-tone without leaving skin feeling "cakey".

June's Glossybox Unboxing

My favourite time of the month (after pay day of course) has finally come around again - the delivery of Glossybox. After all there really is nothing better than coming home to a little box of beauty treats to greet you after a long day in the office. 

Contents:
Manna Kadar Glo Illuminator - £22.50
Batiste XXL Volume Spray - £4.29
Black Diamond Peel Off Mask - £4.95 for 3
Himalaya Herbals Face Wash - £3.29
Sleek Power Plump Lip Crayon - £5.50
111 Skin Bright Eye Lift Gel - £110.00

With the weather finally starting to warm up the June Glossybox includes five products to help create an effortlessly chic look this summer.

The first product to catch my eye this month was the Black Diamond peel off charcoal mask. With blackhead removal taking the beauty world by storm I've been looking for a new mask to put to the test for myself (fingers crossed it's not too eye watering!). 

As someone who relies heavily on dry shampoo, I was also very excited to see a full sized bottle of the Batiste "Oomph My Locks" XXL Volume Spray. As well as claiming to provide the "ultimate volume boost" Batiste also claims the product will strengthen and care for hair, bonus!

Goodbye Summer - FOTD

Now that we're saying goodbye to summer & heading towards autumn it's the perfect time to start bringing out those darker autumnal shades. 

Don't get me wrong, I think the bright pinks & corals that dominate the summer months are gorgeous.. but there's just something about the wintery dark reds & purples that I love...These shades have definitely started to make an appearance within my make-up routine so whilst I was getting ready a few days back I thought I'd put together a little Face Of The Day showing a slight transition towards an autumn/winter look. 

Products: 
Foundation: Rimmel's Lasting Finish 25 Hour Nude [x]  Concealer: Collection Lasting Perfection [x] Setting Powder: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder [x] Bronzer: Rimmel's Natural Bronzer [x] Blusher: Sleek's Face Form Palette (shade: Light) [x] Eye-Shadow: Barry M Natural Glow Palette [x]
Mascara: Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express [x] Eye-Brows: MUA Pro-Brow Kit (shade: Fair-Medium) [x] Lipstick: Rimmel & Kate Moss in shade 08 [x]
As you can tell this look is in no way dramatic as instead I've opted for a slightly dark pink lip along with a faint brown eye look... Although it's safe to say that I can't wait to start bringing out my dark lipsticks ready for the cold months ahead!
