primark | My Make Up Trunk

I swear it only seems like last week I was writing my June favourites!? I’m so glad that the weeks are going by quick though as I’m so excited to start back college and not be bored everyday.
I picked up some new products this month that have certainly been favourites over the past few weeks. I’ve also been watching a lot of Netflix since I’ve had time off and have discovered a new favourite tv show!

Beauty Favourites

Mac Prolongwear Concealer

I finally got around to purchasing this a couple of weeks ago and I am still trying it out so there’ll be a full review on it sometime next week. But from what I’ve used so far I’m loving it! It’s really high coverage, does not crease even after a full days wear and beautifully highlights under the eye area.

Elizabeth Arden Mousse Foundation
I actually used to really dislike this product and would never use it alone as a foundation, but lately I’ve been it with my pro longwear foundation and it creates a lovely glow to my skin as well as adding more colour.

Kylie Minogue Darling Perfume
I’ve been running low on perfumes lately and my mother got me this one, which is one of her favourites at the beginning of the month. It’s a more grown up scent with woody undertones and is on the cheaper side which is great!

Real Techniques Buffing Brush
I’m a big fan of the Real Techniques brushes and I have owned the buffing brush for a good year now. I find that this brush works really well with my current foundation mix, and I can get a good full coverage with it.

Non Beauty Favourites

Primark Sweet Vanilla & Coconut Candle
I picked up this candle during a recent trip to Primark for £2. I honestly can’t stop smelling it and once it’s lit leaves the most beautiful vanilla scent in the room, I’m addicted!

Orange Is The New Black
I know I’m rather late on the bandwagon with this show and that everyone and their mother loves it! Even after seeing so many people rave about I didn’t think I’d be a fan as I’m more into Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars etc. But seeing as I have a lot of free time at the moment I thought I’d see what the fuss is about, and wow! I’m addicted! I highly recommend it to you all.

Velvetgh0st
My favourite YouTuber this month is Gabbby from Velvetgh0st, I love her upbeat personality and her huge cat! She uploads three times a week and you can always see how much effort she puts into her videos.

I went to Cardiff a few days ago and picked up some new things that I thought I’d share with you. I visited the new 5 floor primark (heaven) and got some basic tops and a jacket which aren’t worth showing and I also went to Mac & Debenhams.

I picked up these really pretty necklaces in Primark for £1.50 and they look really cute worn together with a simple top. I wore them yesterday and I think I’ll be getting a lot of wear out of them. Primark jewellery is great for the price!

I FINALLY got the Mac Pro LongWear Concealer! I had a £2 off Mac voucher so I got this for £15 in the shade NC15. I’ve been wanting to try it out forever and I’m so impressed. I’ve used it once so far and you literally need the smallest amount to highlight and cover your under eyes, it doesn’t crease and you get a good amount of product for the price.

I said in my last favourites post that I was loving the Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara, that I got a sample of and since then it’s run out. As I loved it so much I picked up a full sized version in waterproof as my mascara always seems to smudge in the summer months. I absolutely love the mascara but I really don’t like how hard it is to get off. Even with an eye make up remover I was sat tugging at my lashes for at least five minutes.

Lastly I picked up a new perfume as I’ve been running really low on scents. I fancied getting something different so I tried the Ted Baker Cate Purse Spray. It smells like vanilla and berries which I love and is really feminine.
