June Favourites

Well guys'n'gals, we are now officially halfway through 2014, how terrifying is that?! I don't know when time started going so fast but it's a little scary.

I'm keeping the favourites short and sweet this month, there has been no shopping, so nothing new to fall in love with, and to be honest, I've mostly just been loving the products from last months favourites! There were a few things that deserved a mention though, so without further ado, my favourites from June 2014. 

The star of the show for me this month was the Bourjois 1 Seconde Volume Waterproof Mascara, the first waterproof mascara I've ever fallen for. It's got the most bizarre wand I've ever seen, a combination of little balls and spikes, but it just works, and really gets every lash from every angle, coating them in product. The formula itself is infallible, it's jet black, doesn't feel heavy on the lashes, but it lasts all day without smudging or flaking. It does take a decent balm cleanser to remove, but it's totally worth it. 

Another product that has really impressed me is the Max Factor Face Finity Primer, one of the most heavy duty, longwearing primers I've tried. Smooths the skin, makes makeup last impossibly long, and feels really lightweight on the skin.

I won the amazing Alexandra's giveaway this month, and amongst the prizes was the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Captivating. A gorgeous matte peach, this adds colour and dimension to my cheeks, sculpting them to just look so much better. This blush lasts so long on the cheeks, and has definitely made me want more Tarte blushes! 

Over the last couple of months I've fallen back in love with the YSL Touche Eclat. I've owned one of these for years now, and it really is an awesome product. I've been applying it on top of my under eye concealer to counteract the dark circles, and it really brightens my whole complexion.

I finally picked up the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot setting powder last month, and I've used it pretty much every day since. It's a gorgeous translucent, lightweight setting powder that takes away the shine from your skin, without taking away the glow. It really helps makeup last, and doesn't look cakey at all.

And lastly, a little retraction. I previously included the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge in a disappointing products post. If I'm honest, I stand by what I said in that review, because I still don't know who has the time to use this to apply foundation. However, I've been using this to press my concealer in under my eyes, and blend out cream blush, and I really like it. It definitely gives a more natural look to the skin than you would get with a brush.
