June Favourites

Over the past month I have found myself reaching for the same few products, I just got back from Fuertaventura a couple of weeks ago, so my skin has changed to a slightly less deathly shade of pale, which has ultimately meant that my make-up has changed a bit. Its also meant I've been using more potions and lotions in my hair and on my skin - both of which got really dry on holiday :( mew.

1. So my first favourite of this month has been Nars Orgasm multiple and blush. So I got both of these on holiday last year, the multiple is just a mini, and is almost finish, but i really love it. What I like to do is put it on my cheeks as a sort of base, then put the powder blush over the top of it. Realistically, I probably wouldnt suggest buying both for this reason, I mean they are both the same colour, but if you have them, give it a go, it makes it last so much longer!

2. Secondly Ive been enjoying wearing slightly more colour on my lips, I usually stick to just lipbalms, or paler/neutral lipglosses and lipsticks. Recently though, my favourite lip product to reach for has been Macs tinted lip conditioner in plum perfect, it gives your lips a really dewy and soft look with just the right level of red for my skintone. I know that sleek also have similar products, at a much more reasonable price range, I cant say anything for them mind you, but if any of you have got them or tried them, let me know what they are like, and I might pick up some other colours from their line.

3. Johnsons baby lotion - yup, a cheap and cheerful moisturiser, which I cant seem to fault. I've been using it on my body, and my face. It is such a light and moisturising formula, at a great price. I personally have the original one in the pink bottle, but I know they have a few different versions. I would reccomend giving this a go, and if its not for you, its not a huge loss on the old finances. Personally though, this is my new must have product - Amazeable!

4. My next favourite this month has been Bedheads Brunette Goddess Shine Spray. It gives a lovely shine to dry hair, and makes it look instantly healthier. Plus it smells amazing! Like a coffee/chocolate smell, may not sound like the kind of smell you want in your hair, but believe me, its lavly! :0)

5. Finally, my favourite perfume this month is my new edition to the collection! D&G "3", I am no good at describing scents, but it really is lovely smelling, the only thing is, it doesn't have a great staying power, I wont lie that really irritates me (especially when you pay a lot of money for something!) but the smell does redeem it slightly, as it is a lovely fresh scent. I suggest giving it a sniff for yourself next time your in Debenhams (or wherever you go :P)

So thats the end of my favourites for this month! Feel free to leave a comment with your favourites for this month, I'd love to find some new great products!

Boo! Ive tried to upload photos to this, but it seems to be having none of it! I will edit it this to have some photos at a later date! :)

My excuses.

So I have been gone... for a while, I can only apologize, but I am back, and hopefully will be able to make a lot of new bloggy posts. In fact, not hopefully, I will! So my excuses mainly fall on Uni. This was my final year, so I had a lot of essays, as well as a 3 month placement. Usually this is the best part of the year for me, but unfortunately this year... well lets just say it wasn't a good placement for me. Anyway, once all the drama of that was over, and all the essays were finally handed in, I got to graduate on Friday past! Woohoo!! (Il add a wee piccy to this post to let you see) I wandered around my house the night before with the gowns on in a Harry Potter-esque way all night! It was a lovely day, we got the only sunny day of the week, and we then went on to have a nice meal. I say a nice meal - it was the best dinner ive ever eaten! Anyway, Im away to write another beauty related post straight after this one, so until next time my friends!
