7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag!

Greed: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?


My most inexpensive beauty item that I actually use on a daily basis is Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer. I love this concealer - I have a couple of these that I keep in my bag, on my dressing table and in my make up bag. It costs £4.19! 


My most expensive beauty item is my Urban Decay Naked Palette. If I want to wear eye shadow, this is the palette I will reach for. I love wearing neutral matte or shimmery shades so this palette is amazing for me. It costs £36.


Wrath: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get? 


I have a love hate relationship with my Mac Studio Finish Concealer. Sometimes I love using it because it has amazing coverage. It covers up any blemishes, redness and under the eye without a problem. Other times however, I find the coverage is too much and it can look a bit thick. At the moment however, I am absolutely loving it!


My hardest product to get was actually again, my Naked Palette! I had wanted this for a while but never got it. When I decided I wanted to buy it, they were out of stock everywhere! I honestly looked everywhere in store and online and they were all sold out. Then one day in Debenhams there was a table with a few of them on so I grabbed one! I'm so glad I found one because I love it.


Gluttony: What are your most delicious beauty products? 


This is definitely, without a doubt my Burt's Bees Super Shiny Lip Shine in Pucker Berry. This smells absolutely amazing. I ordered this online and when it arrived I honestly could not stop smelling it. It smells so fresh, fruity and just yummy!

Sloth: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?


I definitely neglect highlighter. I like wearing it because I powder my face so it's nice to add some healthy glow with a highlighter to stop my skin looking so matte. I usually just forget or don't bother with it though. My favourite highlihter is Mac Cream Colour Base in Hush.


Pride: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?


Foundation definitely gives me the most confidence. My skin isn't in bad condition and I don't get many blemishes. Foundation just evens out my skin tone and overall makes me feel better. I like light coverage foundations that leave my skin looking natural and radiant. My favourite foundation is Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua.


Lust: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?


This is such a random question! I go more on personality, however I do like a guy with nice eyes and nice hair. 

Envy: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?


I would love to receive make up gifts from brands such as Chantecaille, By Terry, Chanel and YSL as I love their products! Jo Malone perfumes would also be amazing gifts to receive! They all smell amazing and come in lovely packaging.

June Favourites!

I haven't ever done a monthly favourites post before but I realised that over the last month or so I have been using the same products pretty much everyday, so I thought I would tell you about them!

L-R, Tresemme Colour Fade Protection shampoo and conditioner, Moroccan Oil

If you follow me on twitter you may have read that I recently had my hair coloured. My hairdresser recommended I get a shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair to help protect my colour and stop it fading. I chose to get Tresemme Colour Fade Protection. I have used these about four times now and I love them! My colour hasn't faded at all, however I find it hard to tell if that's due to the shampoo and conditioner or not because I don't know how my hair would look if I wasn't using them! I honestly don't think I have used a shampoo and conditioner before that leave my hair so unbelievably soft! I have noticed over the past couple of weeks of using these my hair just seems to be in better condition and is getting softer, looking healthier and is more manageable.

I have had Moroccan oil for a little while now and I have always loved using it, however over the past month I have felt like I need to use it! The weather has been hot one minute and raining the next and this oil just seems to control my hair and stop it going frizzy and fluffy. 

I apply one pump of this to damp hair just before I blow dry and then about half a pump into my hair after I have dried and styled it. I have pretty thick hair and when it rains my hair goes very frizzy and poofy. If I have used this in the morning though, my hair will stay smooth and frizz free! I absolutely love this and I am considering getting a mini 25ml to carry around in my bag.

I have a hair care routine which you can read here.

L-R, No7 Powder Blush Brush, YSL Touche Eclat Foundation, Urban Decay Naked Palette, Mac MSF Natural

I have had this No7 blush brush for a few months now and at first I used it to powder my face. A few weeks ago however, my Mac blush brush broke so I decided to use this instead and I actually really really like it. It is the perfect size and shape for applying blush to the apples of the cheeks and I find it picks up the ideal amount of product on it. It is very soft and not too dense which means the blush doesn't apply too heavy and I end up with clown cheeks!


I picked up a sample of the new YSL Touche Eclat foundation the other week and I really like it. It has even been taking the place of my Chanel Vitalumiere Aqau on a couple of mornings and that is my all time favourite! I am planning to do a whole review on this foundation by the end of this week so I wont ramble on about it now but I love it and it is a definite favourite of mine this month. 


Over the past month I haven't really been wearing much eye shadow, as in a full smokey eye, however I like to have something on my eyelids just to add some definition so I have been enjoying using 'Naked' from the Naked palette.  This is just a matte, light brown and I either sweep it all over my eyelid or focus it into the crease for some definition. It's quick and easy for everyday which I love.


I tend to go through stages of loving Mac msf natural and wearing it everyday and then not wearing it for ages. The past month I have been loving it and wearing it every single day without fail. I get a slightly oily nose so I always powder that, however when using Mac msf I tend to powder all over my skin because I just love the finish it gives. It doesn't look cakey and powdery at all, it just leaves my skin natural and healthy. This powder is really light on the skin but also provides enough coverage if my skin is having a good day and I only need light coverage.


That is all of my favourites for June! I hope you enjoyed this post - I enjoyed writing it and choosing what to put in it so I definitely think I will be doing one next month!


What are your June favourites? Have you tried any of these products?
