Top 10 Summer Favourites

Instead of doing monthly favourites, I thought I would do My Top 10 Summer Favourites, as I don't try out that many new things every month to do a post on them. So after a season is over, I will do a top 10 faves. So these are products I have been using and loving this Summer!

For foundation, I've been loving Rimmel Wake Me Up. It's £8.99, but is always on offer - so you can usually pick it up for about £6. I love it for summer as it is quite a light coverage, with a dewy finish which is lovely - I can't stand wearing thick, heavy coverage foundations in the summer. For concealer I have loved the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. It is a high coverage concealer, which can be used on blemishes or under eyes, with a light creamy texture. It would be an all round favourite, but considering the lightest shade is really dark, I don't think I'd be able to use this in the winter.

Bronzer is an essential for summer, I have been reaching for the Bourjois Delice De Poudre (aka the chocolate bronzer) which is £6.99. It doesn't have any noticeable shimmer in it, which is nice. It is quite orange toned, so I defiantly wouldn't recommend contouring with it - but it is lovely to warm up the face. For my eyes, I really like the MAC 'Lets Skate' Paint Pot. This is the only paint pot I've tried, as I think £15 for a cream eye shadow is over priced - however I really love this shade. It is a really pretty pale pink, with a shimmer running through it. It looks pretty with winged liner and lots of mascara.

I love using MAC 'Morange' in the summer as it compliments tanned skin gorgeously. It is a bright orange/red shade and because it is a amplified finish it is creamy, highly pigmented, comfortable to wear and lasts on the lips for hours. I have also really liked wearing the Rimmel Apocalips in the shade Luna. I got this when the range first launched and I hardly wore it - however, I have grown to really like it, it's a pretty peach shade with a gorgeous glossy finish and for £6.49 you can't go wrong.

For nail polish I have been loving Essie "Bikini So Teeny". I got this last year, when everyone was going crazy for it. It is a pastel blue, with a subtle shimmer and is opaque in 2 coats which lasts easily 5 days on the nails with a good top coat. Speaking of Essie, I have also been loving Tart Deco, which is possibly one of my favourite polishes of all time. I brought it on a whim, as the colour I originally went in boots for was out of stock. I would describe the colour as a peachy salmony coral, and looks its best when you have a tan.

I love fake tan, especially in the summer - I couldn't live without it. I have been absolutely loving the St Moriz Mousse, it is only £4 which is incredible. It gives the same effect as a higher end tan, no streaks, not muddy or orange and lasts well. It is an amazing find - expect a full review coming up soon. My last favourite is something that has made moisturising become less of a chore when I come out of the shower. It is the Nivea In Shower Moisturiser. All you have to do is apply it in the shower - like you would if you wasn't in the shower... and wash it off! I love this as it is so easy - I hate waiting for moisturisers to sink in before I can dressed. When I come out of the shower, there is a noticeable difference on how soft my skin is.

If you are still reading then congratulations, haha! So that is it, a round up of what I have loved this summer! This year has gone so fast, I can't believe we are in September already!
