I have today a collab with my wonderful friend Kirsten, and it is the summer colour edit, where both of us take three summery colours and talk about some of our favourite products for that colour - you get the deal. It's like the colours of the rainbow tag with a summer touch.

My first colour is pink and I have two items, one fashion (well an accessory) and one beauty.
So my beauty product is a lipstick from Maybelline and it is their Colour Sensational Vivid Lipstick in Fuchsia Flash.
This is a super bright fuchsia pink and it is so super pigmented, moisturising and long lasting. The colour is very similar to Mac's Candy Yum-Yum but in a creamier glossy formula in comparison to Candy Yum-Yum's matte finish formula.
My second item for pink is an accessory and is a necklace I picked up from H&M last week.
It has neon pink jewels in it which is so on-trend at the moment and I'm loving wearing monochrome clothing with neon accessories - and this is perfect for it!
So my second colour is bronze and I chose two makeup products as I don't have any bronze fashion items!
The first is a well loved favourite of mine and is another Maybelline product, their Colour Tattoo in On & On Bronze.
Cream shadows are perfect for summer, and these really do not budge all day. They are waterproof and they do not crease which is a big plus for summer time especially! These work great as an eyeshadow base too, as well as an eyeshadow on it's own.
My second bronze product is the Bourjois Bronzing Primer .
I wasn't too sure of what I thought of this product at first, because I loved the way that it felt on the skin however when I tried to use it as a contour like you would with the higher end dupe of the Chanel Bronze Universal, it just blended away too easily. However, last week I had a spray tan for prom and it faded from my face a lot quicker than the rest of my body (obviously due to cleansing and things) so I've been using this under my foundation to darken my face a bit to match my neck and body. I really like using it is this way as it just gives the face a subtle bit of colour but can be built up and made a bit darker if wanted.
My final colour is turquoise and the first item is a top that I got so long ago from Forever 21.
I really love the print on this as I think it's really summery and pretty. The light sheer fabric makes it great for the summer time because it's a bright colour and a summery print.
My beauty pick for turquoise is the Collection 2000 Gel Liner in Teal, which I understand isn't strictly turquoise but it's near enough.
I love wearing this on my waterline as a pop of colour (tutorial coming soon on my YouTube channel!). These are very affordable, good quality, very long lasting and very pigmented!
And that is everything!
I quite like doing this edit sort of posts - don't forget to check out Kirsten's Summer Colour Edit post HERE , where she does different colours than I've done!
