Summer Favourites

Summer is over now and the weather is getting cooler so what's a better time to show you my summer loves?! I have not discovered anything new since I was using stuff that I already had in my collection, and I thought I would share with you!



So let's have a little chat around these products. The Sleek Make Up eye shadow palette in Storm is long one of my favourite eye shadow palettes. It contains some gorgeous neutral shades and some darker bluey and golden/bronze shades that I absolutely love. It can easily replace my Urban Decay Naked 1 palette which is amazing as well but is a little pricey in comparison to this one that costs around 10 pounds and has amazing quality.





The nail polishes that I have been using are the Barry M Nail Paint in Peach Melba & Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Lemon Sugar. They are both gorgeous colours, bright and summery, with opaque appliace and nice consistency. The Avon one is a little thick but I'm not really fussy about that. 
Some bright pretty shades are also the lip colours I was wearing. A sweet coral pink shade, Dior Addict lipcolour in Coral Craze, and an orange, bright gorgeous lipstick, Topshop lipstick in Infared. The Dior lipstick is quite moisturizing and last quite a while on the lips for a lipstick in the moisturizing and creamy category. The Topshop one has strong longevity but I find it a little bit drying on my lips,otherwise I love it.

To make my eyes look bright and awake without too much make up I was using the Art Deco Natural Lip Corrector in 03 (the lady in the counter suggested I buy this and it's amazing) and mascara, the Essence get BIG Lashes mascara or the Clinique High Impact Curling mascara. The first mascara gives a length and volume, but it is not intense which makes it a perfect every day affordable choice (around 3 euros). The second  is much more intense, very black and quite clumpy, gives lenght and some volume, suitable for a night out.
The Clinique Moisture Surge (shade 01) tinted moisturizer with SPF 15, was also making my skin look fresh and glowy along with the Caudalie Beauty Elixir spray, which moisturizes and gives a healthy glow to my skin.

And last but not least the Escada Ocean Lounge perfume which I was spraying on all the time is a fruity sweet scent perfect for summer. Which were your summer go-to products? xxx
