June Favourites

This month's favourites is juicy! I've tried so many new products this month so there's some new goodies that I've been loving.

My first favourite of the month is the Peaches Makeup loose pigments in Pearl and Kitten. For swatches and full review click here. I've actually been using both of these not on my eyes, but as highlighters! Kitten is more pink than Pearl but they look beautiful on the skin especially when caught in the sunlight! 

Next up is Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl in Gilded Honey. Ahhh..another highlighter! I have been using this everyday non-stop ever since it was delivered, hence why it's not looking as fresh as it did in my Feel Unique Haul post! It is a beautiful golden highlight however, I do feel like I need to do a few layers before I get my desired beam of light reflecting off my cheeks. But then again, maybe that's just me being excessive with my highlight again!

This month something changed within me. Brace yourselves because about 2 weeks ago, I fell out of love with my Dipbrow Pomade. For some reason, my dark, defined brows just weren't working for me anymore. I wanted fluffy brows where my actual brow hairs were more visible, ya feel me? So I've switched back to Benefit Browzings, this is the old packaging so this is the shade medium but I believe for the new packaging the old medium is equivalent to shade number 4. I've been using my Anastasia 12 brush to define underneath my brow and going in with less product at the top (here's a picture from my instagram to show you how they've been looking). 

Earlier this week I picked up a NYX Vivid Brights liner in the shade Vivid Halo from my nearest NYX counter. And it's just gone straight into my June Favourites because I am so impressed, everything from the brush to the pigment was STUNNING and now I am desperate for more colours. To see a look I did with this product, click here. 

Another NYX product I've been obsessed with is the Butter Gloss in the shade Fortune Cookie. I got this towards the beginning of the month in my feel unique haul and I've been wearing it over the top of MAC Shy Girl lipstick for a peachy lip colour and that's been my go to! I love the formula of the butter glosses too, as I've mentioned before they are not sticky which is what I love.

My last but not least favourite of the month is the Tony Moly I'm Real sheet masks. I'll not go into too much detail about these as I'm doing a full review on all the 11 different kinds soon so keep your eyes peeled for that! But all you need to know is that I have definitely fell in love with them.

Thank you for reading my June Favourites, let me know what your favourites are this month in the comments below! See you soon.

Peaches and Cream Loose Pigments

Good afternoon! As you know I'm currently studying Media Makeup which means that I'm constantly talking about makeup and always keeping my eyes peeled for new makeup brands and good products to try out. I discovered Peaches and Cream a while ago on instagram (peachesmakeup), they're actually a salon in Liverpool in the UK as well as selling their own brand of makeup.

In December I was lucky enough to go on a trip with the girls on my course to the Clothes Show in Birmingham which was such a good day out and definitely something I'd love to do again next year, if anyone has heard of it and is thinking about going definitely go because it's such a good day! I knew that there was going to be a NYX makeup stand there so I definitely made a beeline for that stand first, so after picking up the NYX products I wanted we had a wander round all the other stands which were beauty related, clothes, teeth whitening etc. and we actually came across the Peaches and Cream stand and the pigments were definitely what first caught my eye as they were so beautiful.

After purchasing 3 of the pigments I decided that this chance should not be wasted - I needed more! The ladies who worked on the stand were so helpful and friendly and showed how each pigment worked with their primer and they were all stunning! It was so difficult deciding which ones I should take home but if you know me, you know eyeshadow is my ultimate true love, so I ended up with seven!

They're super affordable but goodness me they are beautiful colours! The only downside to them is that they do tend to transfer a little bit into the crease when placed on the lids. If you follow me on instagram (rebeccacapel) you'll have seen how I used the disco pigment on my lids with a burgundy smokey eye as a Christmas inspired makeup look (click here for photo). Once I've blended all my eyeshadow I spray a small amount of MAC Fix+ on a brush and dip it in the pigment, tap off the excess into the lid (aint nobody wasting these pots of heaven) and then pack it onto the lid. 

So, the colours that I purchased going from left to right are Pearl, Kitten, Peached, Foxy, Secret, Famous and Disco. I loved wearing the shades disco and famous around Christmas and New Years Eve they were the perfect party pigments. I also have a great love for the peached pigment I think this is my favourite out of all the pigments I purchased, it goes with most eyeshadow looks and I think it is a unique colour which usually I wouldn't normally gravitate towards but now I can't stop using it!

Let me know if you've tried any of these pigments and what your favourite colours are and if there 1are any other pigments from different brands which you like as I would love to know! See you soon!
