Slay this Summer with Cosmetify #SummerSlay

*Gifted Products from Cosmetify

As soon as the weather starts to turn from dull and dreary to bright and warm, my little heart gets excited at the thought of a makeup switch up. The difference between my autumn/winter face and my spring/summer face may be minimal but it’s enough to make a difference. Leaving the matte finishes and dark berry lips for glowy skin and a pink pout is first on the list before we head into a summer of festivals and parties. I’m very excited.

I’m also a bit excited about this latest find of mine. Have you ever heard of Cosmetify? Well, listen up girls because this is a genius website of beauty discoveries. A one stop shop of hundreds and thousands of beauty products and brands, all under one roof making your beauty splurging so easy to do. Cosmetify uses high quality retailers such as Feel Unique, Look Fantastic and Beauty Expert to help you purchase your beauty finds. Brands such as Anastasia Beverly Hills, NARS, Charlotte Tilbury and Huda Beauty can be found amongst drugstore brands like Barry M, Bourjois and Revlon. It really is a clever site and one that I have bookmarked on my laptop for when I’m having a browse for beauty.

Ready for my #SummerSlay, Cosmetify have challenged me to showcase my favourite summer trends and of course, I was totally up for the challenge. One of the biggest trends that always comes around each summer has to be the transition of lip colour. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Matte Lipstick Set has to be one of the best ways to try not just one, but four shades at a very reasonable price. I own just one of the ABH lipsticks and whilst I knew they had a good staying power, it wasn’t until I wore Plumeria that I realised just how good the staying power was, even during the warm weather. The shades in the set shift from a cool toned bubblegum pink up to a deep magenta, giving a variation of colours depending on how the mood takes you. I am so happy with this little set for summer!

In keeping with the summer theme, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Sultry palette is perfect for taking it day to night whilst still keeping a finger on the trend pulse. The Pantone colour of 2019 is Living Coral, and inside the Sultry palette sits Bloom; a perfect coral shade that has been gracing my eyelids daily. Bloom is one of those perfect shades that can be worn alone, or as a transition shade or under the eye as a pop of colour. The colours in Sultry are so cohesive that there are numerous combinations of looks that can be created, taking you from desk to disco with just a pop of shimmer. I do think that the Anastasia palettes are very special and I do own them all now and I must say that I have been reaching for Sultry an awful lot lately. From the pigmentation to the the staying power, Sultry has been a bit of a godsend. A definite must buy from me!

There’s one product that I have used for many, many years which automatically makes me think of summer. Thinking back, I must have been using this product for over 20 years. How crazy is that? The Bourjois Maxi Delight Bronzer has been a makeup bag staple and showing no signs of going anywhere. I do love Bourjois and their products are brilliant quality. What I love most about this giant bronzer is that it gives a gorgeous summer glow on your face, decolletage and body. I use a big fluffy brush to diffuse the shimmery particles across my skin and the finely milled pearls within the powder catch the light to give a naturally sunkissed finish.

As we move into summer, my schedule is packed full of parties and festivals which gives me the perfect opportunity to use my glitters and face paints. I’ve found a product by Lottie London which has given me an idea or two for some future makeup looks. The Lottie London Stamp Liner Duo is not just practical with it’s felt tip liner end for creating perfect wings, but the other end contains a stamp to personalise your look. There are several options such as a musical note, hearts and stars which will look so cute when placed around your eyes and even on your face. I have a feeling that these will come in very handy over the summer months.
