Updated Everyday Summer Makeup Routine!

Hi everyone!


Today I'm going to show you all my makeup essentials I have been wearing this summer. I do have alot of makeup so I am swapping things up alot like lip and eyeshadow products, but I will show you some of my favorites.

Face Products:




Nivea Visage Young Be Beautiful Tinted Moisturiser
I cant find this online no more, but I love using this in the Summer because it gives you a nice glowing complexion and its one colour that adapts to your skin tone. Plus its oil free and has sun protection.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation- link.
If I'm having a bad skin day and I want abit of coverage, I still use this foundation, Its perfect for the summer and gives you a nice glow without being oily.

Garnier Anti-Dark Circles Roll On Concealer - link.
This a great under eye brightener/concealer, especially in the summer. It a very thin consistency and feels like you don't have it on, also it does not crease under your eyes. It is also very soothing and cold when applied so it help with puffiness!

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder- link.
This is a good overall powder for taking away some of the shine on your face, In the summertime I personally just like to use this in the t-zone so the rest of my face has a nice glow to it.

Eye Products:


Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette- link.
This is the perfect palette for your essential shades of eyeshadow you will need. Its perfect for making the most natural looks, or making a more statement look and turning it into a dark smokey eye. They are super pigmented and last a nice amount of time.

Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo- link.
This is my favorite one in On & On Bronze. These are perfect if your in a hurry or having a lazy day, you can just blend this on your lids and your good to go, and they do last all day!

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner -link.
This is an amazing gel eyeliner because it doesn't budge so if you in water your not going to look like a panda and have black all down your eyes. Also I prefer smudging abit of brown eyeshadow on my lower lash line instead of eyeliner to make it more natural.

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara- link.
I would recommend a waterproof mascara but I don't wear them because it hurts my eyes to remove it. I have simply been curling my eyes lashes and then applying a thin coat of this mascara, its very natural and defines your lashes.

Lip Products:


Maybelline Baby Lips- link
I've mainly been using my Pink Punch one, It has such a nice feel on the lips and gives you nice moisture. It also has the most gorgeous sheer pink tint on your lip which can be built up for a more bright look. Plus, it smells amazing and has sun protection in! I also love Cherry Me which gives you a nice wash of cherry red.

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer- link.
I have been wearing the shades Celestial and Nova for a more natural look, and then on a day when i want more colour i have been wearing Big Bang. These are a lip lacquer so they have the pigmentation of a lipstick but they are smooth so they don't dry out your lips. Also they last so much longer than a lipgloss!

So Im pretty sure those are most of my favorite product I have been using alot this Summer. Leave a comment telling me what yours are and thanks for reading, bye!

Maybelline lasting drama gel eyeliner!

Hi everyone!

I mentioned in a haul recently i picked up the maybelline gel liner, and i would do a review on it because everyone seems to love this product! This was the first time i had used a gel liner and before this i was thinking of getting the Bobbi brown one but I'm so glad i dint because i am in love with this one!

Before i just used to use an eye kohl because i find liquid liner to tricky and takes up to much time in the morning for me, so i sort of thought that gel liner would be the same, which it was at first but now after a few tries its as easy as any normal eye liner!

 I love the formulae of this so much, as it states it is a gel, but it is also very very creamy so it glides on easy. I have it it black and they also claim that it last up to 24hr which i don't know because i take my makeup of before then but it definitely last all day on my lash liner which is were i use it, but I'm not sure on the water line.

It is super super pigmented which means you don't have to go over it several times and can achieve all different looks and styles with this eye liner  It also came with a little brush to apply the liner with which i would recommend if you don't have one or if your new to gel liner. But as i got used to it i found a brush that i think goes well which is just a small angled brush!

I feel like this will last me a while for how little i use. I just like putting a little thin line on my top lash line, it gives the appearance of fuller lashes, and makes your eyes stand out abit more!

I got this from superdrug for £7.99, and it is currently on 3 for 2, here.

Thanks for reading, i hope you liked this review, please follow for more every Wednesday+Saturday, bye!:)
