Current Favourites

Well this is a kinda monthly favorites/ current favourites as a few of them I haven't been using for a month.
My favourites for this month are; Sleek 'Life's a Peach' blusher, Collection 2000 shimmer shades, Maybelline Colour Tattoo 'On and On Bronze', Collection 2000 sheer loose powder, Garnier Roll-on concealer, Real Techniques contour brush, buffing brush (from the Core Collection) and the blush brush.
The Sleek blusher is one of my most recent purchases and it looks kinda bright in the pan but when its put on your cheek its such a soft colour and looks lovely on the skin. It's also a nice colour for the summer because I prefer more natural make-up or non at all in the summer months. I'd definately recommend this blusher to anyone. I've been using this with the Real Techniques  blush brush, I love this brush! It is so so so soft and puts the right amount on the cheek without it looking too cakey and like you've applied too much blusher.
The Collection 2000 shimmer shades palette I've been using for a highlight lately, it is such a pretty palette and swirling the brush around the whole palette gives your face a nice glow and I've been using the contour brush from Real Techniques as its just the right size and is great. 
Next is the Real Techniques buffing brush again I love this brush so much, its not just a current favourite it might be an ALL TIME favourite! It blends the Garnier Concealer in nicely, I've been liking this abit more this month because it doesn't feel as cakey as the Collection 2000 concealer does at times and gives nice coverage under the eyes too. I've also used it for the Collection 2000 powder, I've been using this as a 'foundation' just to have some kind of coverage on my face as I don't always wear liquid foundation only for nights out really. But the powder is so soft and feels really nice when your put it on your skin. 
Last but not least the Maybelline colour tattoo in 'on and on bronze', it lasts for most of the day when I've worn it and the colour is lovely. It can be blended out to make it look more natural but it can be built up and worn for a more smokey eye.
Other favourites of mine right now which aren't make-up related are; the single We are Young -
Fun. feat. Janelle Monáe. I absolutely love this song right now, think its the soundtrack to the summer for me, also their album I have downloaded and that is great too! Call My Name - Cheryl (Cole), another feel good summer song, it makes me want to dance about and its just so good. Another favourite right now is ASOS, I'm in love with the website and bought 4 dresses the other day which I'm currently waiting to be delivered. I'm also loving Made in Chelsea, yes I shouldn't but I do. I've always hated it and then I saw everyone talking about it on Twitter, watched it and now I'm obsessed (oh dear)!
I hope your all enjoying this lovely sunshine! I know I am, making the most of it and getting a head start on the tan for the summer without faking it. I hope you all have a lovely weekend! I'm spending tomorrow infront of the TV watching the League one playoff final Sheffield United v Huddersfield! COME ON YOU BLADES :)

Review: Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades

Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades (£4.19) Boots/ Superdurg

Yes! I'm back with a haul. I popped into Superdrug today and saw that make-up was on 3 for 2 (mix and match all the brands) so I couldn't just ignore it, I had to go in. There were things I was going to get from Boots so I thought I'd also save myself money.

The first item is the Collection 2000 shimmer shades in way to glow. It is a multi purpose highlighter and bronzer in one compact, with the aim to give a 'subtle glow' to the face. 

There are four individual colours in the palette, a champagne, a rosy pink, a golden bronze and a pinky brown shade. They are all shimmery, soft and easy to blend onto the skin. They are not highly pigmented but this is something I wouldn't want from a highlighter/ bronzer, I'd rather it give a subtle glow like its meant to. They are shimmery with a some glitter but this is fine and not chunky at all which is always good.

The packaging is quite thick and sturdy which is always good if its in a make-up bag as it's less likely to get smashed. The shades are pressed firmly into the pan and they are soft to touch.

I'm quite excited to use the product and might even use the shades on my eyes as I'm sure they'd make a great eyeshadow too. I'll also use it with my Real Techniques Blusher Brush or the Real Techniques contour blush to put the highlight on my cheeks.

The product retails at £4.19 which I think is a great price for a highlighting and bronzing product. I'd really recommend this product, especially for the summer months (if the sun decides to come out). I also have the 'Blushalicious' palette in the Shimmer Shades range which is really nice aswell.

I hope you enjoy this review and go and enjoy the Superdrug 3 for 2 ;)
