I can only apologise for how delayed I am in my monthly favourites posts! You can see that this month I have a lot of products! I truly love each and every product this month as I have been testing out a lot of new ones, and they all work!

Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner

Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner £6

I am in love with this eyeliner! It is the only liquid eyeliner I've used that remains black all day and doesn't fade. It doesn't smudge and fall down your face if you sweat, however it is easily removed instantly if you make a mistake. The formulation is smooth and glides onto the lid- in contrast to the Barry M Blink eyeliner. When holding the pen, it is slightly weighted which makes me think that there is a hefty amount in the product. I now can't live without this product as I wear liquid eyeliner everyday. It is a definite improvement from my Barry M Wink and Blink eyeliners which I've been using for around a year.

Definitely the best liquid eyeliner I have come across!

Pink Smokey Eye

I got bored whilst studying for English today so I decided to have a play around with my makeup and use some of my older products. I am over the moon with how this turned out and I may wear it for my Leavers Assembly in June! I love how it is a girly twist on a smokey eye by having the shimmery pink base, and it is so simple to do!

Products used:

Eyes- Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Pink Gold all over the lid, Sleek Noir buffed into the outer corner and crease, Sleek Organza over the top of the pink shimmer, Sleek Bow in the inner corners (entire Sleek palette review here). Soap and Glory Supercat eyeliner, Rimmel Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara. Brows filled with Sleek Boxed and Maybelline Brow Drama.

Face- Bourjois Healthy Mix in Light Vanilla, Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Peach glow on my T zone. Sleek face form palette in light (review here)- bronzer on my temples and in the hollows of my cheeks, highlighter on my cheek bones, nose, cupids bow, chin and centre of my forehead, blush on the apples of my cheeks.

Lips- Mac Pure Zen

I hope you enjoyed this look as much as I did!

Bourjois Healthy Mix

Bourjois Healthy Mix in Light Vanilla £9.99

This foundation is the only product that suits my awkward skin tone! It has a velvet texture, is dewy on the face which makes you look full of life and has a gorgeous fruity scent. It doesn't look cakey on my face at all and blends with ease using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. It has medium coverage on me but can be built up to a higher coverage if neccessary. I've been using this with the benefit porefessional and they work together seamlessly! This foundation does cover up my blemishes but doesn't conceal them. I think that if you had flawless skin to begin with, this serum would further enhance that and your skin would look glowy and youthful.

The finish of the foundation is slightly dewy which means you get a healthy glow. If you don't like the dewy look, this can easily be removed by adding a matte powder over the top. Personally, I powder my forehead, chin and nose and leave my cheeks naturally glowy so I don't have to use as much highlighter. All in all- I love this product and I am amazed that I hadn't picked it up yet!

Mac Lipstick - Vegas Volt

Mac Vegas Volt- £15

 The picture really doesn't do this lipstick justice! In the bullet it looks like a hot orange toned coral and it looks more orangey on my lips. This is the first Amplified finish lipstick I have bought and I am absolutely over the moon with it! The formulation isn't drying at all and stays on the lips for up to 5 hours. However, I find it does cling a little bit to the drier areas of my lips and can look a bit chunky if I have peeling lips. Without further a do, let me show you a swatch on my lips:

Again, the picture doesn't do this lipstick justice at all! In reality, the lipstick looks more orange toned and brighter. I think that the colour really stands out with my hair and suits my skin tone to a T. The durability of this finish is simply stunning and stays on your lips even if you have eaten and drank. I now really love the Amplified finish a lot more than the cremesheen finish and I would like to try some others in the range- if you have any recommendations, please leave me a comment!
