Switching it up for the summer

Now the weather is a lot warmer, I’ve been switching up my makeup routine a little bit. I have ditched a heavy coverage foundation in favour of a CC cream and I’ve been keeping everything else to a minimum. I recently got three new products from Notino and they’ve soon made their way into my everyday makeup routine, so today I’m going to share them with you.

Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector – I’m not usually a gloss kind of girl but I’d seen a lot of people raving about these Clarins glosses online. They come in a variety of different colours but I chose to go for a light pink which will suit any makeup look. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the gloss isn’t sticky at all and it is as moisturising as they make them out to be. I have been wearing this almost every day instead of my usual matte liquid lipstick and my lips have been thanking me for it!

L’Oreal Paris Life’s A Peach Blush – I think that the warmer weather and the summer calls for coral and peachy shades, so I just had to choose this blush. One of the best things about it is it also smells like peaches! It’s not overwhelming but you get a whiff of it as you’re applying and it really makes me smile. I like to apply this with just a bit of bronzer and it gives me a fresh-faced glow and makes me look really healthy. I definitely recommend choosing a peachy blush for the summer!

Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream –  This is a product which I used to love years ago, however I hadn’t repurchased it. I thought it was about time I got myself another tube to remind myself why I loved it so much. This CC cream offers a light coverage but it also helps to even out skin tone and hide signs of fatigue and redness. There’s the added bonus of there being an SPF 15 in there which is great if you forget to apply an SPF before your makeup. This is so easy to blend in and you only need a tiny amount. Using a CC cream in the summer is so much better than a foundation.
