Products I've hit pan on | 2

If you're not familiar with the term "hitting pan" it basically just means that you've used enough
of the product to show the bottom of the pan (packaging).
It shows products that I really do love and use on a regular basis!
 
This post has caused me quite a lot of problems and I was just about to give up when my camera batteries had ran out and couldn't find anymore but then I had a thought. So here's a retake of this post improvising with my webcam. Hopefully this doesn't come out too bad, but I do think the lighting in these products is very true to life, which is the main reason I'm not giving up! Also feel like it makes the post a little more personal, so here goes..
 

 

My every day blush and bronzer combination.
Mac Crème Blush in Something Special
Dior Bronze 002 Honey Tan
 


 
My everyday powder blush option (I basically used this everyday before I bought the Mac one above, but they still great together if you want to set the crème blush for a matte finish) This is so cheap, so I think everyone needs to own this, amazing for oily skin as it is matte!
Natural Collection in Pink Cloud
 

 
Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium. This is my handbag powder because it's so low maintenance, you can literally put this on forever and never look cakey. Amazing for quick touch ups without a mirror. This is the first thing I will be purchasing again.
 
Stila Angel light powder in shade e (refill pan) this is marketed as a foundation powder however because of the colouring it worked so well as a contour for me, literally used it everyday I had it. If anyone can recommend a matte powder this sort of warm beige colour, comment below! Looking for alternatives, because as a brand I don't feel Stila is worth the high end price.

Spending too much time in Boots | Haul

All the Boots close by me are crap and barely stock anything interesting but there's a few big ones that I like to travel to as a treat. Nothing better than a Sunday afternoon strolling around Boots looking through all the isles, testing things and picking up products from brands I haven't tried!
 
 



Real techniques Stippling Brush: £11.99, Avene Eau Thermal (mini size): £3.15, Aussie Heat Protectant: £4.69, Sugar Crush Body Wash £6.50
 
I am a huge fan of sweet smelling products and once I heard Zoella raving about the Sugar Crush products, I went out smelt them and fell in love! Good enough to eat!
 
Bought the Avene spray as I've not tried any of these (basically a skin refresher, spray on cleansed skin or if you've overpowdered for a more natural less cakey finish) or even anything from the brand Avene and after spending a bomb in Origins I do not need any more skincare yet. I was also looking for something to spritz on my beauty blender before I apply my foundation and I'm hoping this will work well for that too.



Stila lip and cheek cream Gladiola: £16, Nivea lip butter Caramel Cream: £2.25 (No Filter)
 
Hands down the best lip balm ever, purely for how it smells, AMAZING!
Bought this Stila product when I seen Essiebutton raving about it also, I have high hopes, I love corals!

Recent Purchases, Stila, Topshop, Vans etc


Stila in Poundland? I picked up as much as I could without buying multiples of the same products! Can't actually believe all these products were only a pound each? When they are normally priced £20 up! There still in my shops so I would definitely go look to see if you can pick up some of these bargains!




Necklace is from Topshop Sale and both earrings are from the New Look sale!



Topshop £20



Topshop Petite £20



Grey Vans (Got online from asos!)

Hope you all are enjoying your summer, actually got a hint of sunshine today after months of rain!! So all is good haha! Thanks for reading xoxo
