Summer Favourites: Birthday Edition

My birthday wishlist came true!

Hi guys, I can't wait to show you the beauty products I got for my birthday and why I asked for them. Some old favourites, some new for the summer! These are the products I asked for, for my birthday which was in June. OMG I'm 26! But let's not dwell on that haha... Have a look below at my photos and thoughts on these wonderful, cantlivewithout products. 

Urban Decay Naked Illuminated

Shimmering Powder for Face and Body - in AURA.

I haven't tried this product yet, but I love anything Shimmery and beautiful. When I saw this in the shops, I KNEW it was for me. I will use it to light up my contour at night time, and give me a natural glow in the day, highlighting the cheek bones and under the eyebrow. When I go on holiday, it will be used to highlight my natural tan, and give a gentle shimmer wherever needed! The product is a great size, so I bet it will last me ages! Love it. 

"Light up your face and body. Chase away the bland. NAKED ILLUMINATED is an illuminating powder with a delicate, alluring shimmer. This universal soft pink shade comes with an exclusive dusting brush for your glowing pleasure."

Urban Decay NAKED Palette

Well, you all know about this palette. I have Naked Palette 3 because I love pinks and rose golds, but how could I not get this one! Can't wait to start using it. 

"It's the palette that revolutionized neutrals forever. Loaded with 12 bronze-hued shadows in an insane range of textures only UD could dream up - including matte, satin, shimmer and sparkle - Naked champagne to the grittiest gunmetal, it's all here. Whether you're going for a laid-back, beachy vibe or black-tie drama, you'll definitely look better Naked."

Bobbi Brown Shimmering Sands Eye Palette

Again, beautiful shimmers for day or night!

Benefit the POREfessional primer

PRO balm to minimize the appearance of pores. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. You put it on over your moisturiser, under your make up and it makes your face look clear, and keeps your foundation on all day long.

Benefit the POREfessional License to Blot

A new product from Benefit I just had to try! It's an instant oil-blotting stick you carry around with you during the day, to touch up your make-up and get rid of oil! 

Target oily spots! This instant blotting stick with tiny invisible blotting spheres mattifies shine for up to 6 hours after application. Oil has finally met its matte!

Clinique Cheek Pop - in 02 Peach Pop

Gotta love peachy, coral colours in the summer :) and it;s 100% fragrance free. It's a burst of colour which you can build up to get the exact colour boost for your skin. Lighter in the day, more at night!

SensatioNAIL gel colour in Pink Daisy

I have previously written a blog on the SensatioNAIL kit. This is another colour to add to my collection. It lasts for up to 2 weeks, and makes your nail really strong underneath. 

Chanel COCO Mademoiselle Eau De Toilette

A top up of my favourite perfume!

SensatioNAIL is sensational...

I love painting my nails. I LOVE nail varnish. Pinks, blues, glitter, reds, purples.... I just love it. Can you tell!? I love all the colours that are out there, and how you can pick a colour to reflect your mood. I think you would be surprised how many people look at your hands, when you are talking, when you are at work, when you wave to say hello! When I have perfect nails, I feel like I am on it. I CAN DO ANYTHING because I have pretty nails. This may sounds silly, but if you love doing your nails too, you'll know the feeling I mean. It's like art. You have created something pretty and now you can show the world.

I don't know about you, but I also find it therapeutic to do your nails. Whatever life has thrown at you that day, you can sit down for 30 minutes and only think about making your nails look gorge. Don't get me wrong, I used to go and get them done as well. I know gel nails cost about £30 without extensions, and they last a couple of weeks. So, when I went to Boots the other day, and started to browse around the nail section - that's when my life changed forever. I found SensatioNAIL. If you don't know about this brand, you will thank me...

Yes I love doing nails. But I get so sad when they chip! Well, this gel nail kit can solve all your problems. I absolutely love it. And it will save you money in the long run. If you love having immaculate nails, but your nails are weak, brittle, or will not grow, this is the product for you. It's just like putting normal nail varnish on, but you cure it under a UV light for 30-60 seconds. And guess what, once it's done, your nails are completely dry. No sitting there like a zombie, not being able to touch anything. It's quick, efficient and amazing! Your nails feel solid. They feel strong. And you know they will last you for a good few weeks. Isn't that a waste of all your other nail varnish I hear you ask. Well no, because I can still use all my colours above. You simply put one layer of gel on, leave it under the UV for 30 seconds. Then you can apply your normal nail varnish. Wait for it to dry, then apply 2 coats of the gel over the top and cure for 1 minute each. Then oooh la la you have amazing glossy colourful nails for around 2 weeks. Bye bye chipping.

I have had this gel on for only a week, and I can see a rapid growth in the length, they feel strong, they look great. I cannot recommend this product enough. Just make sure you buy their acetone remover, DON'T pull off the gel when removing, you'll have strong, long nails underneath if you take it off properly.

SensatioNAIL do their own gel colours as well, and I am off to go and buy some now :) This is not an advertisement, I literally love this product.

Any questions on how to apply this amazing gel kit, please comment below and I can give you a step by step guide, although the instructions that you get with the kit is so easy to understand.

That's it for now, I just wanted to share this with you because I am so impressed and happy I have saved so much money now I don't need to get them done. I have a ton of my friends asking to their nails now, so I can pretend I am a professional, because the results will be the same :)

Thanks for reading. XOXO
