june favourites♡


I think the last time I did a favourites post was in January sometime which is 
quite a while back so I thought for this weekends post I would dwell on the
 favourites of this month. I think everyone says  this but where has the time gone? 
It's now 6 months til Christmas? Summer is right around the corner? Crazy stuff. 


Beauty Favourites


My first favourite of this month has been my beloved Naked 3 pallet. I got this
for my birthday and I am so obsessed. The colours are absolutely stunning. A beautiful 
mix of pinks, bronzes and golds. I have been using it daily and I couldn't rave about it 
enough. It's ideal for this season!

I have had a few brush favourites this past month. One of them is the good 'ol 'Buffing 
Brush' by Real Techniques. I've had this brush for a long time now and after I got a few
 other brushes this was pushed to the back, but recently I have loved using this for 
powder and BB creams (as you can see it's a little dirty!) I have also been using the 
'Deluxe Crease Brush' by Real Techniques which I got for my birthday. 
I have been loving to use this to apply concealer on any pesky spots and it's 
the perfect size for under-eye concealer too! 

Last month I gave in and decided to buy Benefits 'Rollerlash'. My question now 
is WHY did I have any doubts about this? It's my first Benefit product and it's 
made a very good impression. It has a perfect curved wand which is not too big 
and it feels like it's nourishing every eyelash and it makes my eyelashes look incredible.
One thing I struggle with is making my eyes look open and bigger and this has been
a miracle product for that. 

Next up is my beloved Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. Really this should be in
EVERY monthly favourites because it's an essential and I don't own any other 
powder which is saying how amazing this is! The reason why it's crept in to 
my favourites this month is that I have been more oily around my T-Zone area and 
chin this past month so I have been taking it around with me to school instead of just
applying it in the morning! 



Non-Beauty Favourites


Because of the dreaded exams and mocks it hasn't been particularly easy to 
read as much as I would like too. This month I managed to get through All I Know 
Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher. I absolutely loved it. I think Carrie is such a 
big sister figure and you can tell she put everything into it and it was actually
written by her! In times of need I will definitely refer back to this book. Carrie
has a lovely charm when writing and I felt like she was directly speaking through
the pages! 


I am so late to the band wagon with this but at the end of May the family bought 
Netflix. Very embarrassingly, in the space of the past month I have managed to
get up to Season 4 of Pretty Little Liars. I've been watching it in the bath,
on the go, getting ready in the morning and any spare moment I have I will 
watch part of it! No idea how I managed to get through that much in such a 
short space of time. I promise you I did focus my attention on my exams
and put all my effort into them but at the end of a busy day watching
 a few episodes never hurt anyone! 



Let me know your favourites in the comments!
