June favourites

Wednesday 1 July 2015



As you may be able to tell, I don't have as many favourites as usual. This is because I have been using the things I have shown previously and not trying out as many new things. Nevertheless, these items have definitely been a staple for me throughout the month of June and I wanted to share them with you. 

Sunglasses from Urban Outfitters - I am obsessed with these! When I saw them in the shop, I fell in love because of the shape and the gold strip running along the top frame. I'm not sure that you would class them as fully 'cat-eyed' but they do have that sorta feel to them. They are also matte which I think is cool as I have never owned a pair of sunglasses like them before. It has been getting sunnier recently so I have kept them in my handbag.

Lipstick sample from Chanel - My mum purchased a few items from Chanel the other week and she was given a sample set of lipsticks which she kindly gave to me. At first, I thought that I probably wouldn't like them as you have to apply the lipstick with a brush and I'm usually terrible at that. However, after trying this shade, I have totally fallen in love with the samples - my favourite being 'Arthur' which is a pinky red. When I run out of the samples, I might treat myself to the full sized lipstick! 

Sephora eyeshadow in Girl talk - I bought this last year when I was in the south of France. It is such a versatile shade because I find that it suits both day and evening looks. I usually just sweep this across the eyelid and then put a slightly darker shade in my crease. The shade of it is quite difficult to explain as it is has rose gold elements but it also looks like a neutral brown. This product is in my favourites because I have been wearing it a lot recently and I'm sure I will continue to do so throughout the summer!

Posie tint from Benefit - This is a multipurpose product as I use it on my cheek bones and on my lips. I mostly like it because it is in a lovely coral shade which is perfect for summer! The packaging is also really pretty - I probably shouldn't judge a product on that but it does look good in a makeup bag! As it is multipurpose, I will be bringing it on holiday to save space. The only slightly negative thing about it is that you have to rub it in straight away or it stains your cheeks but that is expected of a tint!

Random favourites:

Music I have been loving in June...
  • Runaway - Galantis
  • Lean on - Major Lazer
  • Photograph - Ed Sheeran

I discovered Orphan Black in June on Netflix and I have really been enjoying it. That kind of programme is usually right up my street because I love sci-fi and the story line in this is really good. 

What have you been loving recently?
