Life Update & Beauty Haul

Hi guysss! So this is a bit of a random post, I have some things I want to tell you and a few beauty products I picked up.

So first off I have hit 200 followers on bloglovin’!! I can’t believe it I only started my blog 10 days ago and to have people following my blog commenting and liking my posts means the world to me. SO THANKYOU!! I hope that my blog does continue to grow and you guys continue to love it.

Next up on Tuesday it was the dreaded results day for Scotland. This year I did another 3 Highers. I needed only one more grade A at higher to get into university. After hounding the postman for my result certificate and a nail biting wait; I received 2 grade A’s and a grade B! Which was so unexpected and I’m delighted this means I’m moving to Edinburgh in a month ahhhhhh! So to celebrate this I went shopping. I picked up some clothes which I will show you on a later post but I also went to Superdrug to pick up a few things.

First off I got a Sleek eye shadow palette, I got the au naturel one. There was about 6 different palettes and were £7.99 each. I have had one before and they are super good quality very pigmented and the colours are beautiful. They have some amazing names like “toast”, “cappuccino” & “honeycomb”. I’m so excited to start using it and like the name the packaging is very sleek. 

I then picked up another Maybelline colour tattoo, so overwhelmed with the one I bought a couple of weeks ago which I have used practically everyday, I decided to buy another one. This one is in Permanent Taupe. It’s a matt grey(ish) colour. They advertise that they last 24hours, I’m not quite sure about that since I have never had the need to wear makeup for 24 hours. For £5 I just couldn’t resist.

Next I picked up L’Oreal Paris Super Liner (black) this was a repurchase as my last one run out. What I love about this eyeliner is that it is back, super black! It doesn’t have that navy tint to it which I hate. It is super easy to use and great for cat eyes. It is a mix of liquid and felt tip pen style liner.  A great liner for £6.49.

Lastly I picked up Revlon Colour burst matte balm in Striking Spectacular (240) which is a beautiful matt red. It doesn’t dry my lips out for being matte and lasts a reasonably long time. This was £5.99.

July Favourites

Whaaaat its July already?? Where does the year go? So today I’m going to talk you through my beauty & random favourites of this month.

First off I have fallen completely back in love with Benefits Watts up highlighter. I have felt I have been reaching for this over my mac highlighters. It's a wind up, roll on highlighter that instantly adds light and glow to the skin. It is a very flattering shade and is easily bendable and I think it’s a beautiful summer product. And let’s be serious how cute is the packaging- it is benefit after all.

Next I have been loving as always my real techniques powder brush. I have a few real techniques brushes and have loved them. Then I purchased the powder brush- and never realised how amazed I could be at a simple makeup brush. Honestly I can’t recommend it enough it evenly applies my powder perfectly over my foundation and doesn’t make it cakey in the slightest. 

This month I picked up Maybeline’s Colour tattoo in on and on bronze. I’d heard loads about this product and now I understand why. First off it was £5 which totally surprised me- due to its high quality. It works amazingly as a base for eyeshadow or works just as well by its self for simpler makeup days. This month I have been reaching for this A LOT. I can’t wait to pick up some more shades of this product.

The last makeup product I have been loving this month is L’Oreal Lumi Magique primer.  This primer comes in a bottle with a pump dispenser.  The texture of the product is creamy and it is white in colour and what I really like about this product is that it immediately gives a glowy finish to the skin. It creates a great base for foundation and I really can’t fault this product.

When I was on holiday I accidently left my benefit moisturiser there so when I came home I had to repurchase one as my skin was really drying out. I didn’t have enough money to repurchase benefit Moisturiser so I picked up Olay Complete Care moisturiser. This is definitely the best drug store moisturiser- it completely cleared up my dry skin on my forehead and leaves my skin feeling silky soft.

My favourite hair products this month has been L'Oréal Paris Studio Matt & Messy salt spray. It creates beachy waves without using heat and was my saviour when I was on holiday. It’s shine free which leaves your hair looking matt and doesn’t leave it feeling greasy which I feel many hair products do. I just apply to my hair when damp then scrunch my hair and Voila beach waves.

I’ve been a huge passenger fan for a few years so was super excited when he brought out his new album “Whispers” in June. I love every track- and each song has a beautiful story which Mikes signs beautifully. My favourites are “27” and “Riding to New York.”  I would describe the album as indie rock with a soft edge.

My favourite YouTube channel this month has been https://www.youtube.com/user/sunbeamsjess I only recently found her channel and have been binge watching all her videos. I love her fashion sense and her simple makeup looks.

Hope you enjoyed this post. What have been your July favourites? ❤
