It's officially Summer when going to sleep takes you 2 hours and your hair's glued to your head after a 30 second walk down the street.
But just because it's hot doesn't mean I don't want to have fun with my make up.
I've rounded up products that will be staples in my make-up bag for Summer 2017.

Rimmel MagnifEyes Primer
Don't even think about wearing eye make up in this heat without a primer underneath it all. No seriously, it'll be a creased up, faded disaster. This Rimmel primer was a surprising find but I absolutely love it. Goes on a little tacky but keeps my eye make-up ON until I'm ready to take it off.
Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette
21 High pigment, long lasting shadows in a mix of finishes packed into this beautiful palette. Create rainbow looks or use as an accent of colour against neutrals.
I use the first row of pinks for sweet daytime looks, the oranges for a bronzed beach babe vibe and the purples for a smokey summer night eye look.

Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil
Slide on effortlessly to create a cute flick or smudge along the lash lines or eye socket to accentuate a smokey eye. Plus these come in multiple shades if black isn't your style.
This might just be the cheapest but greatest eyeliners I've ever used. Lives up to its long lasting label so it'll stay put in hot weather. I've even worn this at the gym and it didn't budge!
W7 Nail Polish in Marine
I feel like a mermaid in this nail polish. It is the perfect aqua-turquoise shade and makes for a stunning summer mani.
TopShop Bronzer in Sand Castle
When I want to contour my face I turn to my trusty TS bronzer. Its outer appearance is a little dark and intimidating but once blended creates a beautifully soft bronze contour with no orange in sight.
Make Up Revolution Unicorn's Heart Highlighter
This packs a punch of pigment. Say that fifteen times fast.
Seriously though, build this up little by little or you'll struggle to blend out all the pigment. The shades in this one are seriously pretty worn alone too. Mix the entire heart for gorgeous iridescence or choose a small face brush to dip into individual shades and create your own glow.
I will never stop loving rainbow highlighters.
NYX Macaron Lippie in Lavender
I've always been drawn to pastel purple shades and love pairing this one with some thick winged eyeliner for a pastel goth vibe. If you want your lipstick to be the main accent of your look then use one of these. The pigmentation is off the charts and they feel soft and comfortable.
Lottie London Liquid Lipstick in #TBT
When I want a neutral lip look I reach for Lottie London Slay All Day matte liquid lipstick in #TBT. A brown-pink that will look amazing on any skin tone.
This is one of the most comfortable liquid lipsticks I've ever used outside of Colour Pop's and it wears well even after eating and drinking.
Simple Micellar Wipes
Removing my make up before I go to sleep is a MUST. Doesn't matter how tired or drunk I am (don't judge me), I always make the effort to take my make-up off. Quite frankly, the thought of make-up sitting on my face whilst I sleep grosses me out. Ew.
So these wipes are refreshing, hydrating and very cooling which is blissful for hot summer nights! Oh, and of course, they take my make up off with ease.
