Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette
I was obsessed with this palette when it first came out. It was the first palette in a long time where I was just as into the shimmery shades as the mattes. However recently, I have not been using it as much. Not for any particular reason either.
I think once I've got a bit more of a tan, the warm tone shades will just look gorgeous, especially the shimmery ones. I still believe that this is a must-have palette, and I think there are a variety of shades within the palette that will suit everyone, no matter your skin colour. So I definitely think it is worth investing in.
Sleek MakeUP Highlighter Palette in Soulstice
This palette is one of the most pigmented highlighters that I have ever used. I am still getting to grips with getting highlighter perfect, especially with powder, but I just can't get over how pigmented this palette is.
The two highlighters on the right hand side of the palette are ridiculous. I swear you could see your cheeks from Mars. The top left is a cream highlighter and on my skin tone, it is slightly too pink and dark to wear alone as a highlight but works as a great base for the others. It also has amazing lasting power, even if my blush and bronzer had started to fade - the highlighter was going no where!
L'Oreal Paris True Match Illuminating Liquid 101 Gold
At the moment, I am using an illuminator almost every time I use make-up. However, one I have not used in a while is the L'Oreal Paris True Match Illuminating Liquid 101 Gold. This is slightly darker than the other illuminators that I own, so I only really use it if I am mixing it with a light foundation, or when I've got a little more colour in my skin.
This is such a beautiful illuminator, especially from the drugstore. It was the first one I tried where I really felt that it was glowy, and not shimmery.
Topshop Lipstick in All About Me
Whilst in the last year I have been drawn to more muted, and neutral shades, I am always a fan of a bright lipstick in the summer. One of my favourite bright lipsticks is this Topshop shade. Sadly, I don't think Topshop make this anymore, so I will have to hold onto this as long as possible.
This is my favourite shade of pink lipstick to wear as it is nice and bright but is still a little on the red side so it doesn't look too 'Barbie' on me. The Topshop matte formulas are great for people who still want a bold matte colour but do not like the feeling of matte formulas on the lips.
So these are the makeup products that I want to get more use out of this summer. Are there are make-up products in your collection that you have neglected?
