NEW FAVOURITES FROM THE DRUGSTORE

Hello everyone! A few posts back as part of my july beauty favourites i mentioned that i had been trying out some newer products towards the end of the month, but i wanted to test them out more before talking about them. That being said out of those products i have some hits and misses, so for today's post i thought i would talk about the hits and they all happen to be from the drugstore, which is an added bonus.

rimmel #insta fix & go 2-in-1 primer/setting spray

I have actually featured this in my recent current everyday quick and easy makeup post and i mentioned how much i was loving this particular product, as i am all for the quick and easy spray primers and this has a bonus feature as it also sets your makeup in place as well. I love how quickly this sinks into the skin, as well as leaving your skin feeling super fresh and hydrated. Another product from the Rimmel #insta range i have already spoken about my love for, is the #insta fix & matte translucent powder as part of my all time favourite setting powders post. In-fact i have been really enjoying using a few new product releases from Rimmel, that being said if i am being completely honest i was not a fan of the new matte liquid lipsticks.

rimmel #insta contour stick in the shade medium

As i mentioned above how much i am loving the new releases from Rimmel, even more specifically the new #insta range and that includes the cream contour sticks. When i first saw these i thought how much they look like the KKW ones, as they are dual ended one side a contour shade and the other a highlight shade which has a slight shimmer to it rather than being matte - personally i love that! These contour sticks are super creamy yet easy to apply and blend out with either a brush or a damp beauty blender. In these sticks i have the shades light and then also medium, but i tend to reach for medium a lot more and i love how it isn't too cool toned or too warm toned, it is a perfect mix between the two which is rare to come by.

maybelline vivid hot lacquer in the shade tease

I have actually had a couple of shades from the Vivid Hot Lacquer range for a while now, but i was never able to get my hands on this particular shade called tease, as it was either always OFS in-store and online or the testers had been used/opened in-store. Finally i managed to get my hands on this shade and it was so worth the wait, as it is honestly the most beautiful pale nude gloss i have come across since i found my love for the bareMinerals far out nude gloss. As these are more of a pigmented gloss you can pair them simply with a nude lip liner or you could apply a tiny amount to the centre of the lips for a glossy effect, to a more matte lip colour.

l'oréal sublime bronze medium gradual self-tan
Over the years i have tried so many different tans and i always like to opt for a gradual self-tan, as it just works better for me and is more hydrating on my skin. It is quick to apply with a mitt just like you would normal tan and i leave it to develop over night. Two of my favourite tans have always been St. Moriz and then the one by Dove, but whilst in Boots i decided to give this one a try and i have become obsessed so much so it is my new favourite. I love the particular shade this tan goes on my skin as it is super golden looking, it also applies evenly leaving you streak-free and i find it lasts longer on the skin than others do.
