June favourites... a classic post. I love a good old favourites blog post as it's nice to see what products people have been using and loving. A month is a nice amount of time to decide your opinions on a product so in this post I've included a mix of beauty, fashion and lifestyle.
We've had lovely weather in the UK last month. I'm saying this as it's dark, gloomy and rainy at the moment but previously it has been amazing. You wouldn't think so from the look of these favourites... boots...candles but I promise it was!
Lets start with the newest item from the lot, my Shein boots. I was introduced to these fashion staples by a friend who has been updating her wardrobe to suit her style more. She had come across these on a haul and she had managed to convince herself and clearly me as well that we needed a pair. They were around £32 and for some chunky boots that is a great price! They black ans simple and totally out of my comfort zone but i love them! I do have bigger calves so at first i did feel uncomfortable as i felt they didn't look right on my body but i found that if i didn't tie the laces up to the top and left them a bit loose they looked much better and made my outfits 10 times better than my usual trainers. They are much better quality than i imagined however the blisters are real! Breaking these boots in will be a painful time but definitely worth it.
Now moving on to lifestyle I have some candles! I love a good candle and these are for sure some amazing smelling ones! I got gifted these last year for Christmas and i actually got two sets so i guess mocktail candles were popular back then? Anyway they smell amazing and fill the room up with the best scents. My favourite smell in particular is this Strawberry Fizz scent as I find its the most potent of them all and is lovely and sweet.
Moving on to the main section of this post is the beauty favourites. I've got 1 makeup product, 2 body and skincare products and finally one perfume.
I think i may have mentioned this makeup product in a previous post but this month i have been obsessed with winged liner again so it is only fair that i include the Eyeko liquid felt tip liner. I never used to be able to use felt tip liners but this one changed everything and now i find it so much easier to use!
For skincare i have been loving this Mitchell and Peach Radiance Oil especially during lockdown as i don't mind me looking all oily because i have nowhere to be.
I have really dry hands and this Bodyshop Satsuma handcream is the best! It not only feels great but smells it too.
Last but not least is this Pink perfume from Next. I got a giftset in this scent years and years ago and i randomly just really wanted this scent back so i had to go purchase myself the perfume but i wish they still had this in a body spray.
I hope you are all doing well in these crazy times.

Hey! Welcome to my blog, if you want to know my thoughts on Elf Cosmetics or just feeling nosy and want to know what I picked up, keep reading.
We all know that dreaded feeling when you go to do your makeup and you can't scrape any more concealer out of the little tube anymore. This happened to me and so I decided it was time do do a lil top up shop. I don't really know what made me check out the Elf website but I ended up there and if you know me you will know I hate paying for delivery so I had an excuse to spend £25 on makeup. I know Jeffree Star approved the Elf make up so I wanted to try some out myself. Plus they had free gifts so that was enough to convince me!
The fist two items I picked up were the 16 Hour Camo Concealer. I picked up the original formula and then I also saw they had a new hydrating version so I decided to try that one out too. I didn't know what shades to pick up so I tried two different ones. I got the hydrating concealer in a slightly darker shade but this was a good choice as the other one is very light but still usable. I actually struggle with dry patches on my face including under my eyes so i was hoping the hydrating concealer would work wonders and it did!
Both concealers had good coverage and reminded me of the shape tape concealer. They lasted all day and did everything I expected and more. The price being so cheap makes this my new number 1 go to concealer!
I also bought the Flawless Finish Foundation. This paired perfectly with the concealers and for the price it's worth it. Just your normal decent foundation.
The Poreless Putty Primer and Putty Eye Primer worked and felt lovely. I did find that they started to look dirty however as you are having to stick your fingers in. Other than that they looked great on and did what they claimed as far as I was aware.
If you know me you know I love a freebee so when I got to pick a free item I was very excited. You got a choice of a few lippies and eye shadow brushes. I chose a lipstick (Obvs). I thought this orange/red would be lovely in the summer and reminded me of that stage when I was younger and everyone obsessed over orange lipstick. I really like how its not to orange and steers more towards red. It's moisturising and feels great on. I will say though it will not survive a meal and will need reapplying, if that's not an issue for you then i'd recommend!
That is everything I got!
Thanks so much for reading...
