Cream blush has been a big thing for me again this summer, I do seem to go through phases with it. The stand outs have been the Chanel Blush Creme, Bourjois Cream Blush, Dior Blush Cheek Creme and the Rimmel Stay Blushed Liquid Cheek Tints.
Smashbox really did it for me this summer with their Heatwave Palette* and Photo Finish Lid Primer*. These are both staples for me that I will take into Autumn.
Sticking with eyeshadows, if I wasn't wearing the Heatwave palette I was applying a shadow stick or paint to my lids. These were great when I was in a rush and just wanted a slick of color. Some of my favourites were the Rimmel Shadow Paints, Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour and Collection Eyeshadow Pencil.
Blue Mascara has been a new thing I tried out and I really enjoyed wearing it. I had several compliments on it too which was nice. The Collection Extreme Coloured Lengthening Mascara was the one I reached for and I found it was very pigmented and made my lashes look long and full.
CC and BB creams were a huge favorite of mine which I am sure you are aware of, they give just enough coverage to even out the skin and wake up your complexion. I have so many that I love but the Dior BB cream was a firm favorite throughout.
For hair the Bumble & Bumble Thickening* products have been amazing, I also have really loved the Tresemme Texture Spray for giving my hair some ooomph!
The Witch Mattifying Moisturiser* has been a must have for my oily skin, it helps keep my skin matte whilst fighting blemishes. What is not to love?
Lastly for the body, it has been all about exfoliating. The He-Shi Exfolitaor Body Wash* smells amazing and also leaves your skin super smooth. I just can't get enough.
There is actually so many products I have adored this summer I could go on forever. Do let me know in the comments what your stand outs were?
