JUNE FAVOURITES

JUNE FAVOURITES
30/06/2015
Honestly I cannot believe that June passed. It seems that just recently I was celebrating New Years and now it is the middle of the year. I do not know why but I just love June. Maybe because that means I can finally relax and do what I enjoy. I have so many plans for the summer and hopefully I will fulfil them.
For me in summer probably one of the most important skincare items is sun cream. My face is quite pale and I have freckles, so protecting my face from the sun is super important for me. Recently I have bought Avene Very High Protection Cream SPF50 and it is my favourite sun cream I have tried so far. It sinks in my skin pretty fast and consistency is not too greasy. Also I was a bit worried it is going to break me out, but it is perfect for sensitive skin.

I love summer because I get that lovely tan, but Dove Summer Glow does everything you want. It moisturizes your skin while giving that beautiful summer tan and glow. The texture is very light so it sinks into a skin quite fast. Buut the best part is that it makes skin look much better. I apply this before I go to bed and wake up with tanned and glowing skin. I heard some people do not like the smell of this product, but I love it. For me it smells like summer. Also I would recommend getting medium to dark shade as it gives much better results than a lighter one. 

I think most of us like to have their summer and winter perfumes. Recently I remembered my old favourite summer perfume - Heat Rush Beyonce. It kind of makes me feel like I am on a tropical beach. Top notes cherry and blood orange smells sweet but not too sweet and base notes amber, wood and musk makes this perfume so extraordinary. I would say surprisingly it last for quite a long time even it is EDT. 
Moving to products I use on my face... Honestly, most of the days I wear a winged eyeliner. I feel like it fits to my eye shape and makes my eyes look bigger. For quite a long time I was looking for the perfect liquid eyeliner from drugstore that would not be too expensive. I was shocked by Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner. It does not budge during a hot day. The applicator makes it very easy to draw a perfect cat eye.

For me it is important to protect not only my face from the sun but also my lips. Carmex Cherry Lip Balm has SPF15 and the smell is just lovely and summery. The good thing it comes in squeeze tube as I do not need to dip my finger in the tub (uhh.. I hate such a lip balms). With this product I can be calm that my lips are protected from the sun and moisturised at the same time.

What product did you love the most in June?

REVIEW: BOURJOIS 123 PERFECT CC CREAM

REVIEW: BOURJOIS 123 PERFECT CC CREAM
08/06/2015

So as summer is quickly approaching I thought it is time for me to hunt the base perfectly suitable for summer. After doing a little bit of research I found what I was looking for. A medium coverage yet would feel light on the skin. And you know what? This CC cream is perfect plus it is not too expensive. 
Honestly, I was never going after that BB, CC and so on trend. All those claims sound too good to be a true. I have always thought that all those letters sound a little bit gimmicky. However, after hearing so much about this product I really wanted to try it myself and next thing you know I am standing in the drugstore near Bourjois counter.

I am so happy I have picked this product. It is honestly what I really wanted for so long. It covers all imperfections I have while I feel like wearing nothing on my skin. It gives lovely, bright but not too shiny finish. To top it off, it contains SPF 15, claims to deliver 24hr hydration, leaving my skin soft and supple. It claims to have apricot, green and white pigments to mask fatigue, redness and dark spots respectively. Honestly, I do not know how much it is true but what I know that it does cover dark spots quite well. 
The one downside is shade range. They do not make a lot of shades. I believe that there are only 4 shades. I picked 32 Light Beige and I found it a tad bit darker for my skin as I do not have tan on my skin but in summer it should be a perfect match. However, I do think it might be a bit of a struggle to find a perfect shade. 

Love,
Andrea
