Summer MAC Lippie...
Since 2016 has been the year of purchasing MAC products for me, of course, I must mention a new favourite lippie. It's the shade Flamingo!
It's a lustre finish so quite sheer when applied, (don't be put off by how bright it looks in the bullet) but you can build it up. It's a true summery shade, a lovely corally pink & feels very comfortable on the lips.
Bronzing Goodness from Bourjois...
I've used this bronzer for quite a while now, but I'd given it a bit of a break & tried other brands. But, of course, I've eventually succumbed & repurchased this. It's perfect! It's the Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder. My shade is no. 51 & is perfect for my skin tone. I love the chocolate bar packaging & obviously the gorgeous chocolate smell! Delicious!!
In my opinion, it is one of the best bronzers on the market. Definitely check it out & the other varieties in the range. It's affordable & one you will be reaching for all this summer!
Mermaid Brushes...
As you will probably know, I am a huge fan of the Real Techniques brushes, but there is another brand that has caught my eye! Spectrum! They are beautiful!
I received a blusher brush in a beauty box, started using it & absolutely loved it. A perfect shape to add a pop of colour to your cheeks & super soft.
I recently went to the Beauty UK show (I'm a mobile beauty therapist by day!) & Spectrum had a stand there. So, I thought I'd try out their eyeshadow brushes & wasn't disappointed. They are so soft, perfect for applying & blending & just so pretty in perfect mermaid colours! (If you buy a set of brushes, they come in a cute seashell bag!)
I have A06, A08 & A18 (so far!)
They are just really lovely brushes & a great price too. Great value for money.
Kipling Bags...
So, over recent years, I've built up a bit of a collection of Kipling bags. Not many purchased by me though! Most have been given to me by my auntie & my mum! The latest one was again given to me by my wonderful mum & I adore it! (Thanks again mum if you are reading!)
I love the practicality of Kipling bags. They have really wearable fabric, so I never have to worry about getting my bag wet or dirty, as you can wash them. Kipling always have lots of pockets for all your essentials, come in a range of colours, have sturdy zips (they originally did luggage, & still do, so the zips are brilliant!) & are just excellent!
The bag my mum gifted me is the 'Deena' & perfect for everyday. It's in black, so goes with everything & again has lots of pockets for your phone, purse, sunglasses & makeup. It's a cross-body style too, so very comfortable to wear. Great for travelling.
If you have never tried Kipling bags before, definitely check them out. There is a style for everyone's taste - find them on their website (kipling.com), QVC or their own store & some independent stores stock them too.
New coffee...
I was after a new coffee for my cafetiere, so in my local Morrisons I spied some Taylors of Harrogate coffee. I was sure I'd tried theirs before but I'd never purchased it myself.
I decided to go for their Brasilia version. It's a 'lively' flavour (as it says on the packaging!), a medium to rich roast with a slight chocolatey flavour & is delicious!
Definitely one to repurchase.
Right, that's my favourites for the month of June - so I'm off to grab another cuppa!
