I love doing these posts so much, I think I’ve done one religiously ever since starting this blog!  I only bought five pieces of make-up this month – I think that's pretty impressive for a beauty addict huh! So I’ve been using lots of old favourites and a few bits which have been sent to me!

The Body Shop Raspberry Body Lotion – My favourite summer body lotion, the smell is just divine.  This only comes out in TBS’s sales so I stock up on them when they are available.  My sister uses this also, and I can always tell when she does because the whole house is filled with the scent of sweet raspberries.  I don’t know anyone who doesn’t adore the smell of this.  Its perfect for summer as the formula is very light and doesn’t leave you greasy at all.

Rogue Bunny Rogue As If It Were Summer Still… Bronzer – I was sent this to review for Zuneta and I have completely fallen in love with it, it’s now taken pride place in my make-up bag! You can see my guest blog with my thoughts on it, with swatches later in the week on Zuneta.com Click HERE for review!!

Topshop Nice N’ Neutral Nail Varnish – This is my sisters but I’ve stolen it.  Its all I’ve been wearing all month.  I’m going through a period of loving having nice bare, manicured fingernails after a year of wearing bright pinks/blues/holo.  Maybe its because I’m turning 22 next week and my subconscious is telling me to start being mature, haha!  Proper review with swatches to come!

Edward Bess Lipstick in Secret Desire – When I first saw this I fell in love with it, but nearly died when I saw the £24 price tag.  So I was over the moon when I was given it to try out for free!  Since owning it, I can definitely justify the huge price tag and definitely think its worth every penny.  The colour is stunning, suits all skin tones, is moisturizing, smells great, lasts ages, I can’t find any faults with this lipstick!

MAC Jazzed Lipstick – Perfect coral/orange for summer, you can find my full review of it Here!!!

MAC Porcelain Pink Mineralized Skinfinish – I have really fallen in love with this blush, it gives me the most beautiful glow and dazzles a pink-opal colour in the light.  You can see swatches of it on my cheeks Here!  Its the perfect highlight for summer and I usually team it with TBS’s 05 blush.

L’Oreal Infallible foundation Porcelain – Whenever I get stressed, whenever I use a cleanser or exfoliator that my skin doesn’t like, or whenever I have boy troubles, I get spots.  All three of these have happened lately so my skin has decided to hate me and give me a few random annoying pimples.  Luckily I have my favourite foundation on hand which happens to be this one!  I always used to have problems with foundations, always being the wrong colour, not the right consistency or amount of coverage but ever since I bought this one I’ve been very happy and content with it and no longer feel the need to look at other foundations.  I’m already on my third bottle of this!  Its the palest foundation I’ve found on the high street, the formula is perfect and its affordable at £11.

I have a feeling that this month (August) I’ll purchase quite a bit of new make-up as its my birthday next week and I’ll be getting some birthday money, so Augusts' favourites will be quite exciting I’m sure!

Do you like Raspberry lotion like me? Or have you caught the ‘nude nail bug’!?

P.S – Thought I should introduce everyone to my two pets!

First we have Dallas.  He is a crayfish and I’ve had him for a year and a half.  He lives in my room with me in a tank and is great fun except for when he tries to escape at night-time.  He’s been a bit poorly lately so me and my rents decided to bath him and he loved it.

Next up we have Bishmael.  We’ve had him a year and a half also and we absolutely adore hamsters.  This is a video of me and Bishmael last year.

Isn’t he absolutley amazing and adorable!  He is getting quite old for a hamster now and he loosing his hair but we still love him to bits and play with him every day!

Who else has fun pets?! Show me pictures!

I was lucky enough to be invited to Zuneta’s Edward Bess Make-up range launch last Wednesday and I had a great night!  I trotted my way down to the stunning venue/town house named 51 Beak Street and once inside I was confronted by a glamorous red room, avec a chandelier, a room full of beauty bloggers, and the stunningly unmissable Edward Bess, sitting at the head of table which was decorated with lovely make-up!

I unfortunately missed Edward talking about his make-up, but we got to play with all his products and had a chance to get to know the man himself!  I must admit, he is lovely, in everyway possible!  He is super friendly, very complimentary and absolutely gorgeous to look at; he has luscious long locks and the skin of an angel!  He said he liked my hair and we got talking about how he started the range.  Edward told me that he chooses and makes the decisions about every aspect of his make-up, from the formula to the colour, and its obvious that he has a real passion for makeup, his range and for making women feel beautiful.

My favourite products by far were the lipsticks.  They are just perfection in a tube.  They have fantastic pigmentation, they smell like heaven, the colour range is fantastic – there is definitely a shade for everyone, and they last forever on the lips, which is something I feel is rare in other brands.

My favourite lip-gloss from the range is ‘Endless Love’, a stunning creamy pink nude.  The glosses are very pigmented and again, smell delicious.  What also stood out to me were the silky cream blushes and the cheek shimmer highlight – which I am dying to get my hands on.  The range looks very sexy, sleek and expensive, meaning I would probably feel like a superstar pulling a EB compact from my handbag to powder my nose, aha!

I obviously had to include a picture of me and the man himself!  He very kindly crouched down to fit my 4’11’’ height!

Meeting fellow beauty bloggers was another definite highlight of the night – It was my first beauty blogger event and I was made to feel very welcome by all of the lovely ladies.  I met and gossiped with - Peonies and Water lilies, Lipglossiping!, Too Much Blush, Vex in the city, Musical Houses, So Far So Chic, & London Beauty Review to name a few! Thanks for making me feel so welcome gals!

We were very generously given an Edward Bess lipstick to take home which I’ll admit now, I am IN LOVE with, but you’ll have to wait for a review :)!

So Edward’s range is now available from http://www.zuneta.com/ so go and check it out.  Are there any items which you have your eye on?
