Ooooh, the temptation of how I really want this first sentence to go.
I'm not even going to say it. I'm guilty of saying it every month!
I'm sure you can all relate on the generic intro to a monthly favourites post haha.
Anywaaaaaaaayy.. Here are some of my most used products and items I used in June!
I have recently rekindled my love for fruity smelling candles, as I have grown to love the more relaxing sort of smells over the last 6 months. But whilst browsing Clintons, this one took my fancy and it smells bloomin' delicious. It is a very sweet, fresh scent and what can only be described as something that would take you away into a holiday dream land!
So a few weeks ago, I was just about at my wits end with my skin. The constant change in the British climate means that I have some really bad days where my skin goes haywire, when others when it's not so bad. Having a combination skin type, I suffer with a very oily forehead which is always much worse when I don't actually wear foundation?!
I have experimented with loads of different products and skin care routines and nothing seemed to work.
I have heard a million and one good reviews on Liz Earle products, and I knew my local Boots had a counter & pay day was fast approaching - as was my meltdown!
I was very sceptical about forking out a ton of money on skin care. I always thought it's probably a waste, as they most likely all do the same thing but some just have bigger a label. Turns out, I was wrong.
I trusted the good reviews and had a chat with a lovely lady who persuaded me to buy the whole set.. I totally caved!
To be honest, the mint green packaging alone was enough to instantly sell it to me <3
Oops, farewell £45!
I tried it as soon as I got home, and no joke I saw & felt the difference as soon as I'd used it. It is a cream based cleanser and all of the ingredients are natural, which won't react badly with your skin . It removes any face/eye make-up and wipes off like a dream.
The cloth that it comes with shifts any dead skin cells that you may have, leaving your skin radiant with a lovely, natural glow. This product alone stands at £15.50 and it has showed no signs of running out yet, so definitely a great purchase!
3. Bath & Body Works Watermelon Lemonade Nourishing Hand Cream
This hand cream has to be an angel sent from heaven. It smells incredibly amazing and every time I use it, I always get compliments from people saying it smells great! I picked this up because 1. It sounded amazing & 2. Shea Butter is one of the main ingredients, which makes my hands so soft & moisturised.
The only sad thing about this is Bath & Body Works are purely a USA & Canada based chain, who also don't ship to the UK. *weeps*
If you are ever lucky enough to go to the US, you absolutely have to visit this shop!
IT'S SOOOOOO GOOD!!
Now, I'm not normally a big fan of pink. So as you can imagine, I've had a very love/hate relationship with this lipstick up until recently. I originally purchased it back in the winter, wanting a more daring colour to wear. I would say it's a very Spring/Summer shade, hence why I am reaching for it a lot more now than I did initially.
I find it really brightens up my face and compliments the rest of my make-up well. It's a very bubblegum pink shade, which I like as it's so pretty. I find it very hard to tan on my face, so this definitely gives me a bit of colour when I need it most. Being a satin lipstick, it leaves a really nice finish to the lip and isn't as drying as the matte collection.
I am definitely going to be more adventurous when it comes to pinky coloured lips from now on!
5. B Complete Eye Palette in 132 Glisten
As you can see from the state of the palette, I am obsessed.
It's my absolute go-to summer eye look. I love the gold/bronze shades at the moment, and these leave a really lovely shimmer to the lid. They are easily blendable and the pigmentation is pretty good. All of the shades compliment each other so well, no matter how you decide to use them. I also love how compact it is, and it fits perfectly into my make up bag. It's exclusive to Superdrug at a price of only £6.99, so bargain is you ask me!
First off, I love L'Oreal products! I previously had the 'True Match Foundation' so once that had rapidly run out, I went searching for a new one. I had seen really good reviews scattered around the blogosphere, and I just could't resist picking it up!
I love L'Oreal foundations because I am quite pale, so I know what shades suit me and know they will sit nicely on my skin. The tube looks quite limiting, like you wouldn't get much use out of it, but it's lasted me a good 3 months and counting! It leaves a brilliant coverage, without making your face feel cakey and dewy, which is what ultimately had me sold. There's nothing worse when I feel like my skin can't breathe! It's perfect for my skin type and shows you don't need a big budget for a decent foundation!

I've been wanting to try the Hot cloth cleanser for a while now, it seems like it would be really worth the money.
