Hey guys!
Welcome to my blog! Everything beauty, fashion and lifestyle-based can be found on here. Be sure to follow me on Instagram, Twitter and Google+ to make sure you don't miss any of my posts.
Seen as June has just ended, let's start this blog off with my June Favourites.
Let's start with my skincare favourites.
My first skincare favourite of the month is the 'Origins Out of Trouble 10 Minute Mask'. This mask is a life saver when your skin is acting up, and was an essential product in my skincare routine when exam period was around. This mask is incredible for cooling and calming you skin in minutes as well as reducing redness and any blemish bumps. I usually use this one a week or when I sense any breakouts. This retails for £23.00 on Boots: http://m.boots.com/h5/cat_hub?unCountry=uk&path=/en/Origins-Mask-Out-of-Trouble-10-Minute-Mask-to-Rescue-Problem-Skin-3-4oz-100ml_34293/
Next is another Origins product, it's the 'Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask'. Charcoal masks are amazing for unclogging your pores, and are a great way to give your skin a detox. This mask is phenomenal at reducing the size of your pores as well as declogging your pores and your skin immediately feels cleansed. I would not recommend using this mask more than once a week as it in an intense skin detox that can be extremely drying if used too often. This retails for £23.00 on Boots: http://m.boots.com/h5/cat_hub?unCountry=uk&path=/en/Origins-Clear-Improvement-Active-Charcoal-Mask-to-Clear-Pores-3-4oz-100ml_34715/
Another product I've been loving is the 'St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Sensitive Skin'. The scrub is gentle enough to exfoliate my very sensitive skin without irritating it. It leaves my skin very smooth and doesn't strip away the moisture, my skin feels hydrated after using this scrub unlike many other face scrubs I have used. I highly recommend this scrub for those of you with dry/ sensitive skin who are looking for a scrub that won't leave your skin feeling flakey. You shouldn't over exfoliate your skin as it can start to strip away the moisture, so I would recommend using this 2/3 times a week. This retails for £4.19 on Boots: http://m.boots.com/h5/cat_hub?unCountry=uk&path=/en/St-Ives-Gentle-Apricot-Facial-Scrub-150ml_1110529/
My next favourite is the 'Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Magic Soap' which I use as a spot treatment/ cleanser. This soap is really magical as name suggests! The soap is brilliant at cleansing your skin and I particularly prefer the peppermint scent as it leaves a tingling sensation on your skin, which is very refreshing, and soothes any upcoming blemishes. This product has multiple purposes! It can also be used as an infuser for your towels/ flannels as well as a brush cleaner, which is another use I have gotten out of this product this month. Simply soak your brush in water, pour a few drops of the soap into your hand and swirl the brush around to remove all of the excess product. My brushes have never been cleaner! This retails for £5.99 on Feel Unique: http://m.feelunique.com/p/Dr-Bronners-Organic-Peppermint-Castile-Liquid-Soap-236ml?utm_source=GoogleBaseUK&utm_medium=gen&option=32328&aff=mrn&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Google+Shopping+-+Suppliers_Other&mkwid=sOFkPjJ5e_dm&pcrid=51359809599&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CKSA166P28YCFcfnwgodDl8KwQ
Throughout the month of June, I have been loving the 'Eucerin DermatoCLEAN Mild Cleansing Milk'. This was by far my favourite skincare product throughout June as it was so gentle on my skin and removed all traces of makeup and dirt. It also hydrated my skin and didn't strip away the moisture which I do appreciate as I have very dry skin. I used this product almost everyday, it's not drying so it is perfectly fine to be used as often as you would prefer. This retails for £9.00 on Boots: http://m.boots.com/h5/cat_hub?unCountry=uk&path=/en/Eucerin-DermatoCLEAN-Cleansing-Milk-200ml_1213616/
My last skincare favourite of the month are the 'Johnson's FACE CARE Makeup Be Gone Moisturising Wipes for dry skin'. These are amazing for removing all traces of makeup, and even remove waterproof mascara! I find removing waterproof mascara extremely difficult but these have made the removal of mascara so much easier for me. Better yet, they leave my skin moisturised and hydrated, I used these to remove my makeup on days that I wore makeup. These retail for £3.19 on Boots: http://m.boots.com/h5/cat_hub?unCountry=uk&path=/en/Johnsons-Face-Care-Makeup-Be-Gone-Moisturising-Wipes-25s_1360790/
Moving on to my makeup favourites of the month of June.
The first makeup product I've been loving this month is the 'Makeup Academy (MUA) Pro-Base Colour Correcting Powder'. This product is a bargain considering its quality. It's a finely-milled colour correcting powder that sets your makeup in place and leaves a nice, glowy finish. The one problem I have with powders is that they make my skin look dry, flakey and cakey. However, this powder makes my skin look flawless, minimising the look of pores and setting my makeup in place. This retails for £4.00 on Superdrug: http://www.superdrug.com/Make-Up-Offers/MUA-Prime-&-Conceal-Correcting-Powder/p/245500
Next is the 'Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara'. I've never really enjoyed using a waterproof mascara as I've always found them dry. However, this summer, I decided to invest in a waterproof mascara as I had found that my mascara had began to smudge and transfer onto my eyelids throughout the day. After trying this mascara, I found it held the curl all day and it didn't smudge! This product is inexpensive but does a great job of staying on all day. This retails for £4.99 on Boots:

My favourite lip product of the month has been the Essence lipstick in '06 Barely There'. This is the perfect everyday nude colour, and is similar to the Kylie Jenner shade. It's creamy and moisturising and stays on for a reasonable amount of time considering it's a creamier lipstick. It's buildable which is great because you can customise the pigmentation to suit your makeup look. It's a great drugstore lipstick. This retails for £2.30 and can be found on Wilko (only link I can find where it can be purchased in the UK): http://www.wilko.com/essence/essence-longlasting-lipstick-06/invt/0340095
The very last product I've been loving this month is the 'KIKO Rock Attraction Blush' in 'Cross Road Pink'. I've found this to be the perfect blush shade for summer. It's very pigmented so you have to be careful with how much you apply. However the formula is great as it is a powder but glides onto your skin like a cream. It has such great quality too! This was unfortunately from a limited edition collection, but I do recommend their blushes and other products as the are amazing! http://www.kikocosmetics.com/en-gb/
