I've had back to back photo shoots and piles and piles of editing and scanning! But I'm going to slow down this month and try and find more of a balance. Without further ado, here's a quick run down of what I was loving through June:
Rodin Lipstick Heavenly Hopp*
Rodin's lipsticks have such a beautiful satin finish to them that finds a really nice balance between opacity and sheen finish. My favourite colour has to be Heavenly Hopp, it's such a stunning blush nude - you can see a swatch here.

Hourglass Liquid Veil

Hourglass Liquid Veil
Not only has this been my go-to for concealer lately - for that minimal and glowy summer look - but it's hands down my favourite complexion product in my stash at the moment. You can see a full review here - although, spoiler alert: it's bloody amazing.
Speaking of a minimal, glowy summer look - a recent discovery for me is this BB cream from Bali Body. I'm always a bit skeptical towards BB creams because I'm more of a CC cream and concealer kind of girl; in my experience, BB creams tend to me drier and the shade range is always ghastly. The lightest shade from this Bali Body offering, however, has a beautiful lightweight texture, and is easy to blend to a fresh, luminous finish. It's really comfortable to wear and lasts all day, and just generally gets the job done. It's got impressive coverage for a BB cream so not only does it get rid of unwanted redness/sallowness, but it does cover some hyper pigmentation, too.
This blush is the perfect bright pop of colour to complete a rosy, summer look. MAC blushes are one of the best, in my opinion! Really nice and pigmented and so easy to blend.
This is the perfect bronze-y shade for a glistening, beachy summer eye look. I'm a bit obsessed with Charlotte Tilbury's cream shadow formula at the moment, too - it's so beautiful to build up and to blend. You can put this on a fluffy brush and wash it all over the lid for a sheer, flattering tint. You can't go wrong with a good cream shadow in the summer time, they're so quick and versatile. A swatch of this one in particular can be found here.
I have a lot of acids in my skincare routine to target hyper pigmentation (thanks to a year of acne at age 18 - and my picking at it) and this is probably the strongest it gets. I only use it twice a week, three at a push - but it makes the biggest difference, I have to say. With my time of the month just around the corner, I had a couple of spots crop up and I did squeeze them (when they were ready!). Applying this that evening stung like a bitch, but made the mark left over from the spot reduce and fade significantly overnight, and it recovered quicker overall, too. Spots aside - i.e when I use this the other 3 weeks in a month - this noticeably brightens the complexion overnight and I'm really impressed with what it's done to hyper pigmentation and dullness. I've bought two back ups of this - I think that says it all!
I bought a little travel size bottle of this here from Chemist.co.uk to test, and I will most definitely be buying a full sized hair oil soon! I'm obsessed. It makes my hair feel so much softer and look shiny, without looking greasy.
So, to finish - sorry for the crap pictures. I had my laptop break and have been switching between my desktop and my laptop (now that I've got it back, £200 later...) - the transfer majorly butchered the quality. But to be honest they were a bit crap and rushed anyway, like I said - I've been busy!
