Can you believe it’s July? I literally just don’t know where
this year is going! But I am VERY happy that it’s now officially summer (though
in the UK it doesn’t feel like it!). When it comes to summertime I seem to
become more and more obsessed with beauty products. I love trying to create the perfect ‘summer
glow’ and wearing more orange/red eye shadows and layering on highlighter.
I absolutely adore Kiehls skincare. I think their products
are so underrated in the beauty blogging world. Every product I’ve tried from
Kiehls I have loved and the midnight recovery concentrate is no exception. I’ve
been using this everyday for nearly a month now and what I like about this oil
is that a little goes a long way, as you only need about 2 drops to cover your
whole face. I use this oil after cleansing before I go to bed and I wake up
with super smooth skin.
Ever since I’ve had this palette in my life, I’ve used it
everyday. I feel like this palette will be a favourite of mine for a very long
time. On a daily basis, I tend to reach for orange/nude and red shades and this
palette has everything I need inside. When I’ve gone away for a few days this
is the only palette I’ve taken with me and it’s perfect for creating day time
and night time looks.
Velvet Teddy was my absolute favourite lipstick a couple of
years ago and to this day it’s one of the only lipsticks I have actually used
up. I received this in a PR package a couple of months ago now and I’ve
rekindled my love for this shade. I think it’s a great pink toned nude and it’s
one of those shades that suit everyone.
When I want to prime my eyelids this is the only product I
use. I think this is more of a cult product in the beauty industry and it’s
something I’ll use for a really long time. What I also like about soft ochre is
a little goes a long way. I’ve used this for about 5 months now and it barely looks
like I’ve used any product.
This concealer is a real favourite of mine and I feel like
its super underrated by beauty bloggers when it comes to concealers. I love my high-end
concealers but this one steals the show for me. I find that the consistency is
great and this blends like an absolute dream with my beauty blender.
This brush I wasn’t expecting to love as much as I do. I
wasn’t really interesting in the Real Techniques ‘Multi Tech’ collection when
it first launched but I am so glad that I picked up this brush. I was looking for
a good bronzer brush as I have a large face so (more area to cover!) This brush
has fit the bill perfectly and I use this everyday without fail with my Clarins
bronzer. This brush is also great for powdering my face too. Who doesn’t love a
multi-use product?!
Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara - £21*
One brand I haven’t tried many products from is Lancome, It
has always been a little bit (too) high end for me however, I feel like the odd
purchase is all right right? This mascara makes your lashes look super voluminous
and makes my eyes look bigger. If you’re looking for a mascara that adds
instant volume, thickness and length then you need to try this out. This
mascara’s bristles are made of soft fibers, which cling onto your lashes so
easily. What I like about this mascara is that it lasts all day without
smudging or looking clumpy.
I’m having a real love for all things Clarins at the
moment. I use their moisturiser, beauty
balm, lipstick, foundation and blusher and I just feel like I need to try EVERY
PRODUCT from the brand. One thing that Clarins are known for are their show
stopping limited edition collection each summer and I knew when I saw this compact
that I needed it in my life. I don’t think I have ever found a bronzer shade
more suited to my skin either and the massive bonus is that it comes with a
blusher shade too!
Smashbox is a brand I’ve really loved over the past year. I’ve
found that this is a trendy ‘high quality’ make up brand which you care
(rarely) find something, which you won’t like. My favourite lipstick is from
Smashbox, my eye shadow from Smashbox is an absolute dream and have you seen
this highlighting palette?! It comes with three different shades, which ensures
that this palette will suit any skintone. The shades help you achieve any look
you want to create from a subtle glow to a super sparkly glow. What I love
about this palette is that the highlighter is super blendable and you instantly
look liked a glazed donut when you’re applying it!
What products have you been loving this month? Have you got any beauty recommendations for me to add to my wish list?

I tried the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate when I was given a sample last year when I was travelling and I really loved it. I will definitely buy full size but I have so many products at the moment, I need to finish some first! Happy Sunday xx
