My Summer Essentials!

Many girls have a large variety of beauty products, but only use a few items. I am one of those girls.
I have my makeup drawers which have loads of eyeshadows and lip glosses... I rarely even wear lipgloss!

My favourite everyday summer essentials are:

FRONTCOVER COSMETICS. I bought the customised eyeshadow compacts and they are amazing!! I really love shimmery colours. I am a massive fan of smokey eyes too, and these work really well. They last all day even without using an eye primer... which I'm guilty of skipping as I try and do my makeup as fast as possible. My most favourite colours are Mystic Heather, Squashed Grape, Midnight Sparkler, Malva and Vapour Mist. They are a mix of deep purples and blues, and a shimmery whitish silver colour which brightens up the look. Also, the compact has a little mirror in and it has a double ended eyeshadow brush. One of my brushes broke straight away... but nothing a little super glue can't fix!

My next essential is MAYBELLINE THE ROCKET VOLUM' EXPRESS masacara. I LOVE IT!!! It makes my eyelashes look long yet volumised, and it isn't clumpy... unless you overdo it of course with the layering. Oh... and why do we always need to sneeze just after applying?? STUPID FORCES OF NATURE!

Another product I cannot live without now is BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO. I have the cherry one that smells so good! It's great for that in-between hair wash day where you just need a little freshen up, or you really do not have time to wash and blow-dry etc so you just spray this on your roots, massage it in, and then style your hair how you like. It just makes you feel so much better. There are a variety of different smells and a few of the dry shampoos have a hint of colour in them to disguise the regrowth of coloured hair.

My final essential is RIMMEL STAY MATT POWDER. I have been blessed with skin that doesn't need a large amount of products on it to make me look half decent, so this powder suits me nicely as it just dulls down my shiny noggin!

As you can see, I do not use many products and I do use the reasonably priced brands as I hate forking out loads of money for something just because of the name, and most of the time I look like an oompa loompa dressed in drag after applying just a small amount of foundation!

Let me know what you have found amazing this summer! x
