My June Favourites

Hello Lovelies,

I love reading what other people’s favourite products are and think it’s a good way of discovering products you may not have tried, so today I am going to share with you the beauty products I loved using in June.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub – I absolutely love the smell of this, it smells like sweet lime and it leaves your skin feeling smooth and moisturised. I use this a couple of times a week and it makes my skin feel softer and I think also look brighter. I also always use this before shaving and it definitely makes my legs smoother than if I shaved without using it first.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Micellar Solution – I love how when you use this it genuinely feels like you are just using water on your skin. I use it with a cotton wool pads to remove my eye makeup and if you hold the pad on your eyes for a few seconds it removes your eye makeup without having to rub at your eyes and it leaves your eyes and skin feeling refreshed. I don’t have much of this left, but I will definitely be repurchasing it.

Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser – everytime I use this it leaves my skin feeling really clean and looking brighter and I recently reviewed it here. There are some other things in the range I want to try, but as I don’t really need them I am waiting for them to be on offer again.

MUA Undress Me Too Palette – I read lots of positive reviews about this before I bought it and I have to agree with them. The eyeshadows are quite pigmented and I love all the colours. I sometimes use just one colour and sometimes use two or three together, which I think makes this Palette really versatile. I used this a lot in June and I’m sure I will continue to. It doesn’t always last all day without an eyeshadow primer or base but for only £4 I think it’s really good value.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant – I received this in my March Glossybox and wasn’t quite sure how I would use it, because although it says it is a multi-tasker, it has the texture of a thick lip balm and so I don’t think there are many things I would use this for. However I do use this on my lips and it leaves them really soft and moistured. I had really dry lips at the start of June and this really helped and I have been using it pretty much most days since.

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle – this is probably my favourite powder highlighter. I love how subtle it can be if you only apply a little, which I think makes it perfect to wear everyday. I have loved this since I got it, but when we had some sun at the start of June I managed to tan a little and have been using this a lot since, because I think it looks lovely when I have a bit of colour, especially when its sunny too.

Maybelline’s Mega Plush Mascara in Black – my favourite mascaras for a long time have been Maybelline’s Falsies Mascaras, but during a bblogger chat someone recommended this to me and at the time it was on offer in Tesco for only £6, so I thought I would give it a try. It has a gel-mousse formula which claims to leave your eyelashes feeling softer and not hard like other mascaras do and I have to say that it does. It gives my eyelashes extra volume and length and it hardly feels like you are wearing any mascara. I will definitely be repurchasing this when it runs out.

Have you tried any of these?

Thanks for reading :)

My March Favourites

I love reading about other people's monthly beauty favourites and think it's a great way to learn about products I may not have tried before. So thought I would share with you the beauty products I loved using in March.

For the last month or so I have been using Benefit's Brow Zings Brow Shaping Kit in medium everyday. I have been reshaping/growing my eyebrows and use my Brow Zings to define the shape I want them to be and to help disguise the shorter hairs that are growing back. I prefer using powder and wax on my eyebrows because I think you can use it to achieve a natural look by just using a little wax and powder or a stronger look by applying more.

Another make up item I have used a lot in the last month is Soap and Glory's Love at First Blush. I usually use all colours together and when applied it gives a subtle colour which I think is really nice for everyday wear, but it can also be built up if you want a stronger colour. It has shimmer in it too which I love and I think the packaging is really cute. I have also used the lightest colour as a highlighter on my brow bones, which I think gives a subtle highlight.

I have also been loving Vichy's Normaderm Tri-Activ Cleanser. I received this in my January Glossybox and was excited to try it, because I really like using cleansers that are also exfoliating  but I didn't try this until March because I had a different one I wanted to finish first. I love using this, it feels lovely when you use it and it leaves my skin feeling really clean, it also smells really nice too, which I like because I can be put off products that I don't like the smell of. This can also be used as a mask, but I haven't used it as one yet. 

There were a couple of body products I have used a lot over the last month and have really enjoyed using. The first one is The Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub, which I have almost run out of and will definitely be buying some more. I love this body scrub because it has lots of exfoliating bits in (I wasn't sure how to describe these!) which makes it feel like it's giving your skin a good exfoliation. I also like that it isn't oily and so it rinses off easily and as an added bonus is smells delicious! 

The second body product is one that I have loved for a long time and go through phases of using it and it's Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion. I absolutely love the smell of this, it feels really lovely when applied and absorbs well. It leaves your skin feeling really soft and moisturised. If you haven't tried it, you should! 

The last product I have chosen as one of my favourites for March is Lady Gaga's Fame Eau de Parfum. I am not really sure how to describe this scent, but I love it, it is quite strong though, so if you don't like strong fragrances then it probably isn't for you. In the bottle the perfume is black but when you spray it on to your skin it is clear. As well as loving the smell of this I also think the bottle is a nice design.  

Thank you for reading :) If you have tried any of these I'd love to hear what you think of them and if you have posted about your monthly favourites leave a link in the comments below, because I'd love to read them.
