My Favourite Foundations For The Summer!

Hey beaut's!

During the Summer months I love a good lightweight foundation that's going to hold up well in the warmer weather and still have that dewy look to it. I know matte foundations are preferred by lots during the warmer weather but I have dryer skin so something more dewy always works best for me so today I thought I'd talk all about my favourites!

Rimmel foundations are incredible, their so affordable but amazing in quality too! Their Match Perfection Foundation has been re-purchased by me countless times, it has a weightless, smooth texture and medium-buildable coverage that blends with the skins real tone instead of masking it, it literally evens everything out whilst making me look completely radiant, I love it. Another favourite of mine from Rimmel in the Summer is their 9 in1 BB Cream. This stuff is incredible, it feels light enough to be some sort of skincare product - you literally cant feel it on your skin at all, it minimises the appearance of pores, smooths, brightens, conceals and covers, contains SPF 25, lasts all day and is literally heaven in a bottle! 

Keeping with foundations from the drugstore L'Oreal's Lumi Magique is lovely, it's great for dryer skin types like mine and it's light infusing which means it gives luminosity to the skin and really adds a beautiful subtle glow which I love in the Summer. The formula is very light weight, silky soft, blends into the skin well and provides hydration all day which is perfect for me. Moving onto something slightly more pricey - MAC's Face and Body! I think this foundation is pretty much a staple in most makeup lovers collection, it's literally as light as water on the skin, super dewy and healthy looking and even though the coverage is very light it builds up so well until you get the coverage you desire, perfect if you've got a tan and just want to even things out slightly! Finally theres Joan Collins First Base Foundation. This is my current go to foundation at the moment, it has a medium coverage, it smooths over my pores and fine lines whilst still feeling super lightweight and comfortable on my skin, it has a natural finish with a glow that never looks heavy or cakey and I've not experienced any clinging to my dry patches either, it literally perfect for me!

What's your favourite foundation to wear in the Summer? I'd love to know!

Autumn Beauty Essentials ♥

Hey beaut's

Being the Autumn/Winter lover that I am I couldn't resist doing a post dedicated to some of the beauty products that I know are going to be well loved by me this season. Firstly I love all things berry/burgundy toned in Autumn, so for my eyes the MAC Burgundy Times Nine Palette and my MAC Cranberry Eyeshadow are a must for me, I think if your looking for one palette to have this Autumn the Burgundy Times Nine Palette is the one to go for, it's filled with burgundy hues and even has a pretty gold shade within it too. If your looking for something quicker to use and affordable the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Metallic Pomegranate is great too.

Next up is that pout... It's essential to look after your lips over the colder month's as they are prone to getting dry, flaky and chapped when it's freezing cold. I love to use a good scrub a couple of times a week and I generally just make my own with caster sugar, olive oil and honey. Lip Balm and a berry toned lip is also a must during the cooler months and my current favourites are the Anatomicals Never Lose Your Cherry Lip Balm and the Revlon ColorStay Moisture Lip Stain in Parisian Passion, however if I'm going for something more muted I LOVE MAC's Twig lipstick!

For foundation I like to use something that's quite dewy and healthy looking and not heavy on the skin and Rimmel's Match Perfection is always a winner for me, this stuff is seriously good. My perfume of choice is a no brainer really, it has to be YSL's Black Opium, it's such a warm, musky scent perfect for the winter months. Lastly I just had to include my Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Hand Food, my hands get so dry in the colder weather so I literally have this little baby with me 24/7. 

What are your Autumn/Winter beauty essentials beaut's? I'd love to know!
