Wow what a month of new beauty finds! There is quite a bit to get through but i promise you the products are worth it!

St. Tropez gradual tan watermelon infusion

 I have always been the type of person that is scared of fake tan, not wanting to look orange or streaky so i just always stayed pale and try to get a natural tan in the summer. Recently though i have wanted a bit more of a colour so i found this at a bargain price and thought i would give it a go. I prefer a gradual tan to build it up over time, well to my surprise in the morning i was already beautifully tanned, i didn’t expect it to work that quickly. It smells lovely and fresh with the watermelon and gives me a natural fresh glow.

Garnier ultimate blends nourishing hair food banana

First of all this wins best scent of all time, and secondly i don’t know if i will ever use another mask again (apart from what i have to use up) this stuff is literally incredible. It is so lightweight and nourishing to the hair. My hair feels amazing wet and dry and even better the scent sticks around.

Becca Khloe Kardashian becca bff palette

I fall more and more in love with this palette everytime i use it, you have the beautiful becca forumla of smooth powders and the incredible pigmentation and glow factor to the powders. It has one bronzer, two blushes and one highlight, perfect for light to medium skin tones, i know its going to last forever but i am still tempted to pick up a backup! 

It cosmetics cc oil free matte and love is the foundation brush

We all know how much i love this foundation but i still forget myself how good it is! Such a beautiful natural coverage with the matte finish, no oil surfaces through the day, it is just magic. 

I have always admired the heart brushes they bring out so i thought i would purchase one to go with the foundation and again love it, it applys the foundation seamlessly.

Ole Henrikson c rush brightening gel creme and banana bright eye creme

This is a very well talked about brand i have tried a couple of products in the past and loved them. I had heard quite a bit about these two products so picked up a mini set in boots to trial them before repurchasing the full sizes. Well safe to say i cannot stop using them! The moisturiser is a lovely lightweight texture which is good for my oily skin and literally brightens the skin instantly. The eye cream is also incredible a lovely thicker texture with the power to slightly help correct our dark circles and it really does, these products are well worth their price tag.

Lush naked banana skin facial oil

This is part of the new naked lush range hence the no packaging, i have been using an oil at night for a while but was looking for a lighter oil for during the day. This is the perfect one as it is easier to control how much you want by how much you warm it up in your hands. My skin feels hydrated all day and makeup goes over it beautifully. 

Too faced dew you fresh glow face primer

As you all know i have an oily skin type so tend to stay with matte finishes in primers and foundations but i am always wanting that fresh glowy look. I decided to pick this illuminating primer to give my skin a bit of a boost and i am loving the radiant looks and still managing to control my oils. The scent is a lovely fresh fruity scent and just gives my skin so much life. 

Too faced dew you fresh glow foundation

If you read about the primer above i thought i would try the foundation to match. I cannot believe how flawless this makes my skin look, it of course has a dewy finish but not a really scary oily finish, it just looks fresh and glowy and i am not all about this dewy look. Its full coverage lasts all day and just looks incredible! 

Too faced born this way concealer

I used to own the first version of this concealer and i was not crazy about it at all,  but they came back with a reformulated version and i love it! I use this as an all over concealer i find it is hydrating enough for under my eyes and enough coverage for redness and blemishes. In the future i would like to pick up one shade light to highlight under my eyes more.

Primark sun set beam coconut primer water

Since the smashbox primer water came out every brand has been making one, well i saw a couple in primark and thought i would test them out. And wow who needs expensive water for your face anymore, this smells just like holiday so delicious and hydrates my face beautifully before applying makeup and helping it blend all together.

Now that was a long one if you made it to the end thankyou very much! 

Is there anything you would like to try here?
