Things I have been enjoying..

so far this month.

You didn't think that intro was it did you? I just thought I'd pop up a few things that i have been loving this month so far.

First off, my make-up base for July/August has been these products.

 Rimmel stay blushed in the shade 001 pop of pink. This is a really nice cream blusher, when it comes out of the tube the consistency is very light weight. It looks super bright to start but mellows out into a lovely sheer pink. I normally stay away from cream blushers as I always find they interfere with my foundation but I have found this doesn't and it's build-able. 

Product number two I've been using is the Rimmel BB cream 9-in-1 skin perfecting super make-up in very light. This product has a very light coverage and that's why I chose it for summer. it has an SPF of 25 which is nice and high considering the hot summer we've been having. If you want more coverage I wouldn't recommend it but very good if you want a dewy effect. the only thing that could improve it is that although it mattifies it can slip of my nose so if you have very oily skin then it might not be the best for you.

Last but not least is the Rimmel wake me up foundation in ivory, this has a nice texture that goes on very smoothly and helps to make me look awake when I have an early start. It conceals spots but again this isn't a super heavy coverage product, just light and pretty for summer. 

Combined you get a lovely dewy look, that can be set with powder (I use Rimmel matte perfection) and/or with a bronzer, I've been using solar powder by soap and glory.

well that seems to be very Rimmel heavy.

These Earrings.

I have been wearing these so much. I love the nautical theme. They're almost like big studs which is great and I've been wearing these when my hair's in a bun or plaited around the back of my head.

Socks.

I got these from the sale section in urban outfitters and I just couldn't resist. black- check, ankle- check, glitter- double check. so pretty and when I popped them on extra surprise, bloody herringbone design. BOOM!

Last on my list de amour today.

Chocolate. 

what else?

Hotel Chocolate are celebrating 10 years of being chocolaty geniuses. To celebrate this they have dizzy pralines on offer 2 selector packs for £6.50. These chocolates are so good. they come in dark, white or milk and inside have a beautifully smooth hazelnut praline. like Nutella enrobed in chocolate. we went for milk chocolate.
