| My Most Loved Summer Products! |
Although I'm an Autumn baby and it's my favourite time of the year, there's something about Summer that I've grown to love this year. I used to really dislike Summer fashion and makeup but this year I've been trying to embrace it. I've incorporated an abundance of Summery products into my beauty routine so for today's post I'll be sharing my favourite Summer makeup and nail picks.
I love to wear lightweight bases in the Summer and I reach for my Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser a lot. This is a classic product in the beauty community and one that has been in my makeup collection for over two years - I'm on my third or fourth bottle of this and I never fail to repurchase it. It provides a fresh dewy finish, it has excellent coverage and it also has SPF 30, making it the ideal Summer base product.
To keep with the fresh, dewy theme I apply a little bit of the NYX Liquid Illuminator in Sunbeam on to the tops of my cheekbones. The pretty pearlescent pink-toned hue adds a natural dewy glow for everyday wear.
For a sunkissed glow, I usually opt for the new Max Factor bronzer. The warm golden shade boosts my complexion making it look warm, healthy and like I've just spent a few hours in the sun. It's perfect for perking up my white ghostly pale Irish skin *wink wink*
My complexion has also been looking healthy and radiant courtesy of Benefit's latest addition to the box powder family, Galifornia. This vibrant coral pink hue gilds the skin with a golden sheen as well as adding a pop of warm colour to the cheeks. It's the perfect shade for Summer!
If you follow me on Instagram then you'll know that I recently added the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette to my collection. I've been using it a lot lately, so much so that I'm starting to prefer it over my Chocolate Bar palette. Sweet Peach has a more vast variety of shades to choose from such as pinks, purples, neutral beige shades, a bronze shade, a green shade as well as your standard neutral brown shades. You can create any type of look with this from a neutral look to a statement purple smokey eye. Most of the shades are perfect for the Spring/Summer months so it'll definitely be getting lots more use over the next few weeks!
A bright lip is the definition of Summer to me and my current favourite bright lipstick option is Mac Tropic Tonic, an orange-toned coral colour that will add a statement to your Summer makeup look.
Essie is without a doubt my favourite nail polish brand - my love for the brand grows with each purchase and my zealous devotion deters me from using other brands most of the time. Tart Deco, a bright coral, is the ultimate Summer shade along with Peach Daiquiri which is a hot pink shade with red undertones. Both shades are fun, bright and the epitome of Summer!

I loved reading this, the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette looks beautiful and is one I absolutely love the look of. Like you say, I love the fact that it has a great range of shades, including some outside those everyday neutrals.
