June Favourites

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, I've got my June Favourites for you.
Beauty Favourites
First up is the MUA palette's in Undressed and Undress Me Too, I think I've mentioned these palette's a numerous amount of times as I have loved them for ages. This month I've been using them a lot more, these palette's are great for creating different looks both natural and smokey, they have matte and shimmer shades and you can't go wrong for £4 and they are dupes for the Naked and Naked 2.

Blushers I've been wearing most this month is MUA blush in Lolly and Rimmel London's Pink Rose. Lolly is a corally peach colour with slight shimmer but it isn't very noticeable and it's just a really nice colour for summer time. Pink Rose is a pink shade it looks a lot darker than it is when you apply to the cheeks and is just a nice shimmery pink.

Next up is the Benefit They're Real mascara, I've had this sample for a while but only recently started using it, it's a nice mascara that adds length and volume to my lashes, it coats all the lashes really well too and I like the brush on the mascara. I've not been using eyeliner much but when I have been wearing it, I've gone back to my trusted Maybelline Gel Eyeliner. It's really pigmented and black and long lasting which I love about it.

Last up is the Beauty UK In The Buff lipstick and Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart. The Beauty UK lipstick is a corally pink shade that isn't too bright. It's really moisturising and pigmented and lasts for quite a while on the lips and is cheap. The Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart is a bright fuchsia pink shade and is very moisturising and nourishing on the lips which I really like about them.

Non-Beauty Favourites
Music- Cheryl Cole-Crazy Stupid Love, think it's a really catchy song that I've been loving listening to. Lucy Hale's album I've been loving and I relate to lots of the songs. Rixton-Me and My Broken Heart is a good song. Last song is Ella Henderson's Ghost I've been listening to it non stop, love it.
TV Shows- Pretty Little Liars returned this month and this is my favourite TV show of all time that I love watching. Chasing Life is a new show that came on and it's about a women who is diagnosed with cancer and she has a hectic life and a close family relationship. Switched at Birth also came back on and this is a great show and is so different as it has deaf and hearing cast which I find really interesting.
Books- I've been reading a lot more recently and some books that I absolutely loved was Silence and Broken Silence which is a two part book series about a young girl who doesn't speak and you find out why, I'm not going to give too much away and in the second book it is four years later and you see a big difference in the main character. Another two part book series that I liked reading was Broken and Connected, it is a romance but it also has a tragedy as well, which really pulls at your heart strings.

Summer Hair

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, the other day I had my hair coloured and I wanted to show it all, it's different and lighter to my usual hair colour but I was ready for a change.
I like how it is subtle, quite natural and not too much and I think it's great for the summer months.

It is highlighted with two different types of blond, my hairdresser did this with foils, so I still have some of my natural hair colour too.

My hair looks and feels in good condition, I did also had it cut but my hair is long anyway, I just had a few lairs around my face just to add some shape and I'm out growing my fringe so I don't have to worry about it being in my face in the hot weather.

My hair does look better in real life than in the pictures, it's hard to take a good picture with all the different shades in it.

This is the first time in a while I've had my hair coloured but I'm so glad I did and I like the change and it is perfect for summer.

Have of any of you changed your hair for summer?

MAC Lipstick Collection

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice day, I know its been over a week, I've had a lot going on but I'm back now and will continue posting regularly. I decided to do a MAC Lipstick Collection post, I don't have too many but I have 9 and I love MAC lipsticks and love these type of posts, so I thought I would share with you the shades I have.
MAC are one of my favourite brands for lipsticks, I always love the formulation and the pigmentation and the way they look on the lips. I have a variety of shades from nudes, pinks, berries and reds.

First up is Hue which is a nudey pink shade, this is a nude I like to wear with a smokey eye, I sometimes find it is a hard shade to pull off. Hue is a glaze finish which makes it quite glossy and opaque.

Next shade is Hug Me which is another nude but this is a browny pinky nude which is my favourite nude I own and is easy to wear. Hug Me is a lustre finish which is quite glossy, light and moisturising.

The next shade is Creme Cup which is a natural everyday light pink shade that I like wearing a lot and looks nice in any season. It will look great on any skin tone I think. Creme Cup is a creamsheen so it is creamy and moisturising. 

Another shade of mine is Snob which is a light pink shade with purpley undertones, I still have a love/hate relationship with this shade as I find it a hard shade to pull off. Snob is a satin finish and is quite moisturising. This is my least favourite shade from all my MAC lipsticks.

Next up is Chatterbox which is a gorgeous bright medium pink, this was my first ever MAC lipstick and I still love this shade, it's such an easy shade to wear and perfect for these summer months. Chatterbox is an amplified finish and it is creamy and moisturising, with a slight sheen to it.

Another shade is Girl About Town which is a bright fuchsia pink with blue undertones so it does help making your teeth look whiter. This is a lipstick that will look great on any skin tone. Girl About Town is also an amplified finish so it's creamy, moisturising and has a sheen to it.

Next is Rebel which is a lovely deep fuchsia berry shade which is unique, I think this shade is perfect for autumn and winter and will look great on any skin tone and I just love it. Rebel is a satin finish and is quite moisturising and had a slight sheen to it.

One of my next shade is Diva this is a deep berry/burgundy red shade which is a nice alternative if you don't want to wear a normal red shade. This is also a nice autumn shade. Diva is a matte shade but isn't drying but it's not very moisturising, you need to have your lips in good condition to wear matte shades.

Last up is Russian Red this is a normal deep red shade and is my favourite red lipstick I own. This is also a matte shade but isn't drying on the lips but isn't very moisturising.

I love all these MAC lipsticks I own and will definitely purchase more, as they are always good quality, I just hope the prices don't go up anymore £15 is quite a lot already.

Whats your favourite MAC lipstick?

Hungary

Hey Lovelies, hope your all having a nice weekend, a few weeks ago my mum and dad went to Hungary, if you didn't know I'm a quarter Hungarian and I think Hungary is a beautiful place and is part of my history so I thought I would share with you the pictures from their trip.
I'm not sure what these monuments are called but I think they all look amazing, they have so many beautiful buildings and it looks so picturesque.

It's only a quick post but I hope you enjoy.

Have any of you ever been to Hungary?

Top 5 Spring/Summer Nail Polishes

Hey Lovelies, hope you've all had a nice day, here's in the last of the series of my top 5 Spring/Summer products here's a link to the previous two posts.
In Spring and Summer I love wearing bright and colourful shades and these are my top ones I have chosen.

The first nail polish is the Fearne polish in Lemon Drizzle it's a bright light matte yellow shade, these polishes are pigmented and easy to apply which I really like and last really well.

Next shade is the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine nail paint in Greenberry its a beautiful matte turquoise shade that I love wearing, it's really pigmented and doesn't chip very easy and lasts a long time.

The middle shade is Essie Bazooka it's a bright matte orange shade, it's really pigmented and lasts for quite a long time. I want to buy more Essie nail polishes they are one of the best brands I've tried.

Next is the NO7 Speed Dry nail colour in Heather this is a shimmery light pinky purple shade, I also light to wear pale shades as well but mostly bright shades. It's a speed dry so it does dry really quickly and doesn't smudge which is a bonus for me as I always tend to smudge my nails.

Last is the Fearne polish in Cotton Candy this is a light matte purple shade, if you didn't know purple is my favourite colour and I love this shade for that reason I think it's a really pretty shade and it lasts for quite a while on the nails.

What are your favourite Spring/Summer nail polishes?
