All Loved Up: June Favourites

It's the month of June which means it's my birthday month!! It's 14 days until my birthday and even though it's Ramadan I am still excited! Haha!

Okay let's get right into my June Favourites! Have fun reading :)

#1 MAC Supreme Sheen Lipstick in Barely There: Okay so I recently went through my lipstick stash and I have a lot now and I figured I need to use some up. (I hopefully will do an updated makeup storage post too!) Anyways I dug it out and forgot how beautiful and natural looking it was, shade as the name suggests.  I have reverted to loving my signature glossy lip. This provides so much moisture and glossiness. It is a neutral brown with a slight pink undertone to it.I've been wearing it with every makeup look this month.

#2 The Body Shop Lip Liner in Pink Brown (discontinued): This is hands down my favourite lip liner and I'm so sad to learn that it has been discontinued. I don't understand why brands discontinue amazing shades/products. I've seen they've come up with a selection of new lip liners but the swatches don't come close to my fave. It is a pink brown which goes well with pinky brown and some nude lipsticks. I think this is also my last back up so I will have to find a new one.

#3 No 7 Lip Liner in Natural: I've been using this liner as well as it matches pretty much most of my nude, peachy and pink lipsticks. It's a neutral light brown with a slight peach undertone and this must be my 5th or 6th one. I'm not sure if they still do this as this is my last back up.

#4  Real Techniques Blush Brush: Now as the name says it is a blush brush but I find that it is way too big for applying it. It has a slightly tapered top and is packed with soft synthetic bristles. I tried it using blush but wasn't really feeling it so I switched and have been using it to apply my MAC MSF and it works SO well. It's hold just the right amount of products and distributes it evenly on my face.

#5 Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighter in Precious Petals:  YES! I got my hands on the hyped up highlighter of summer time! This was part of my second USA Haul and initially I wasn't going to purchase it as A) I already have a few highlighters and B) it was sold out! So Wet n Wild released one of their best summer collections which included 2 highlighters, 3 highlighting sticks and some metallic lipsticks from what I saw online. To be honest I was like hmmm I think I have something similar. Anyways I happened to see it advertised on ebay for a little higher than the original selling price but it was still reasonable so I thought why not! It's a champagne gold colour and although I find the swatch to be just alright, once applied it looks beautiful. It's like a glow from within look :) it's subtle but you can build it up. I like how natural it looks when I don't want to look like a Christmas bauble :p

So there you have it my favourites. Hopefully will be blogging soon!

All Loved Up: May Favourites

Hello!

I can't believe it's June already! I was supposed to upload this blog last month but school has been quite busy so I couldn't!

I've got a June favorites ready too and I also want to blog about my second 'My Mall Box/USA/Birthday Treats Haul' as well this month.

But for now these are my top picks from May. I've narrowed it down to 5 as I found it more manageable and just quicker and easier to notice and read. Hope you enjoy!

So let's get started!

#1 Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Fleur Perfume: I was apprehensive about purchasing a scent from JC  as I thought they may be over powering but I LOVE this one. I picked it up way back in December from Duty Free at Heathrow and have been using it like anything for at least 2 months or so now. It is a light but fruit scent with a hint of floral notes too. It's perfect for daytime use.

#2 Mikaylij Fan Brush: I wanted to find a brush like this to apply my highlighter lightly and I really like it. This is an Arabia brand I believe that's in all the GCC countries. The bristles are synthetic and are literally the softest. It does an excellent job!

#3 MAC MSF in Give Me Sun: SO! After watching a few makeup tutorials on YouTube I was contemplating buying it. Now if you've read my previous posts I live by the Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Bronzing Powder in 03. However now I've slightly tanned it doesn't do anything. I did purchase the shade 04 and mix them both and it provided me with a softer bronzed look. However I still wanted to look a little more bronzed. It was actually YouTube Holly Boon who sold it to me. Haha, so thanks hun! I went out and bought it and have been using it ever since. It's more of a peachy toned bronzer which suits my skin perfectly.

#4 Superdrug Vitamin E Facial Oil: I have blogged about this product lots of times before and I've recently been loving it again. I've had a bout of breakouts lately so I refrained from using it. But now my skin has cleared up, it's a little dry so I apply this at night to my face. I literally squeeze a few drops into the palm og my hand and pat on to my face and neck. By the morning my skin feels so smooth and soft. It's a winner for sure!

#5 Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray: Last but by no means least is this AMAZING setting spray. I had heard so many positive reviews about this spray so I thought why not try it out. The weather here in Oman is very hot but unbearably humid at the moment. Whilst I still wear make up I wanted to see if it would hold it up during the day. Now I'm it outside with the kids but inside with the AC can dry out your skin and may make it look patchy too. We'll this bad boy prevents all of that. It keeps my makeup looking fresh from when I've started at school, got home and eaten my lunch, gone to the gym and until I remove it after. I'm so impressed and have been using it so much, my first bottle is almost finished. Well done Urban Decay!

Well I hope you enjoyed reading about my May Favourites and will stick by to read my June Favourites from this month.

Love,
