June Favourites!

I will probably continue to say this all year long but I cannot believe it is the end of June already! In this months favourites, aside from two products, I have so many exciting new products I have just discovered, I'm so excited to share them with you and even though I have only been using these for about a month I already love them so much and I know a few will definitely be regular purchases!

Garnier Skin Active Micellar Water- This all -in- 1 cleansing water removes your makeup and cleanses your skin leaving it feeling soft, clean and refreshed! It's such a huge bottle and is perfect for everyday use as well as all skin types but I just wish it had a better scent, I think it smells really earthy so I wish it smelt better!

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara- Oh my goodness I have found my true mascara love, I have seen so many people using this and so I decided to try it out... This is amazing, it makes my lashes so long, they look really full and fanned out! I bought it in the blackish brown shade and I actually really like that it's not jet black! I will definitely be buying this again!

CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat- I used to be someone who painted their nails and never thought to bother using a top coat until I discovered this one, lasting 7 days this top coat is really smooth to apply and dries really quickly, it keeps my nails chip free for ages and leaves my nails looking so shiny which I love!

No7 Beautiful Skin- Overnight Radiance Boost and Clear Complexion Serum- I use both of these as part of my night time skin routine and I love them, they have both really helped clear my skin and leave it feeling soft and full of life as well as blemish free! Little skin saviours!

Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen Spray- I was recently sent this and being in such hot sunny weather I have been using this so much, I love that it is so easy to apply and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky, a simple mist giving you lots of coverage! The biggest thing I love about this is that it doesn't clog my pores or make my skin breakout, it can actually breathe! At first I was worried that a mist spray wouldn't give me enough coverage to not burn or I might miss patches but I used only this and sat in the sun for quite a while and no burn, just great coverage!!

Summer Lip Loves!

Summer times calls for all the prettiest lip colours, pink pick me ups and colours that just bring you sweet happiness! It's no surprise that all of them are pink... it's my favourite lip colour and I can't resit! People always have their favourite shades that work on them and I just really like pinks, at least I have a few new exciting brands for this seasons lip loves. NYX is a brand that has just recently caught my attention, I had heard some really great things about their colours and products including the butter gloss, its a really smooth and creamy light weight gloss with a rich colour pigment. I have the colour Strawberry Parfait which is a bit brighter than I normally would go for but when it's applied its actually a really nice touch of colour, I cant wait to try some more of their products!

It's obvious that I have a slight love for Clinique seeing as I have two of their products in my lip loves, I have loved Clinique's products for a long time and so recently I thought I would try a few of their new colours. I already love their Chubby Sticks but I had never heard of their Baby Tint Chubby Stick, I thought it was going to be a very pale almost clear gloss but I should had really paid attention to the name... I didn't realise as time went on it tints your lips and the colour gets stronger and darker, as much as I wish it was just a slightly pink gloss I really like that it tints your lips! A pleasant surprise!! Their classic lipstick is one of my absolute favourites, it's very soft and smooth to apply and has really rich colour, I love this pink it's gorgeous!! As always on most of my lip loves is the classic Rimmel London lipstick in the colour Candy, it is so subtle but it has the perfect amount of shimmer with such a soft pink colour so I had to include it!

In The Name Of Gucci- By Patricia Gucci

I was really excited to receive a copy of 'In The Name Of Gucci' by Patricia Gucci the granddaughter of the great Guccio Gucci! As a keen lover of fashion and the fashion industry I couldn't wait to read about a life behind the label, a tell all tale of unspoken secrets are released as Patricia speaks out for the first time ever in a tribute to her father Aldo Gucci. This book takes an adventurous stroll down memory lane as Patricia reveals life as a secret love child and the relationship between a father and his daughter. Although quite complicated I found this book enticing and very fascinating, it is a true page turner and I couldn't put it down! It is beautifully written and I love the vintage photograph sections though out the book. This is perfect to take on holiday with you, it's a really good length and a perfect book to get into whilst laying in the sun or dipping your feet in the pool! I love the design of the book, the cover is gorgeous and makes a perfect coffee table book too!

For The Love Of Rose Jam

I will never understand why Rose Jam shower gel is not a permanent product in Lush all year round, they have a few continuous things in the same scent like the Rose Jam Bubbleroon and the Pearl massage bar so why is the shower gel only around at Christmas?! I know many people will have limited edition favourites that they wished were available all year round and not just seasonal or limited to the Lush Kitchen but I can't get enough of Rose Jam! I don't tend to use it all the time but I love it all the same and I only managed to stock up on small bottles at Christmas but I made sure to get lots of them! It's such a sweet, floral rose scent and I find that it can mix really well with lots of other scents or is perfect on its own to lather up in! Just like most shower gels I do use them as bubble bath too, there is nothing better than layers and layers or rose scented clouds of bubbles. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and silky as well as being gently scented with a touch of rose. I will just have to make the bottle I have last until I can stock up again later on in the year!

Rachh Loves Spring Favourites Box!

I recently got the most adorable tube filled with spring goodies from Topbox. Their limited edition Rachh Loves Spring Favourites box is packed with some perfect products for spring! Most of the products I got were brands I had never tried before which was perfect because it meant I could give some other brands a try! I had the choice of which colour lip gloss and nail polishes I wanted which was great because I really like more pink colours compared to blues and greens so I knew I would be getting colours I would wear! Below is what I got!

NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss- I had never tried NYX before but I have seen and heard so many good things about it so I was really excited to try their butter gloss. I chose the colour Strawberry Parfait, it's a little brighter than I thought it would be but it's so smooth on the lips and is really long lasting which I love!

Elizabeth Arden Grand Entrance Mascara- I really like trying different mascaras because it gives me a chance to see if I find a different one I like and see how it works on my lashes! This one worked amazingly, it gave my lashes so much length and volume, although I wish it hadn't smudged under my eyes so much through out the day!

Glamglow Flashmud Brightening Treatment- I have tried some Glamglow products before so I was excited to see how this exfoliator worked. I found it a bit odd rubbing it on to dry skin and then leaving it like a mask because I felt like it needed a little bit of water for an easier application but when I washed it off my skin felt so smooth!

Cake Beauty Delectable Everything Balm- This smell AMAZING oh my goodness, it smells like sweet vanilla and strawberry cupcakes which means that using this on your lips tastes delicious!! I love the fact that this balm can be used on anything, it's such a good multi-purpose balm. I already need a full version of this!

Essie Summer 2016 Collection- I paint my nails quite a lot but I had never tried Essie nail polish, I chose the colours Coconut Cove and Berried Treasures. I was so happy there was a neutral colour and a pink, my favourite! They actually apply really well and I was really impressed with how quickly it dried!
