June and July Favourites!


Hello again,

If you hadn’t realized I  didn’t have a monthly favorites post last month, simply because I didn’t really have anything that you hadn’t seen before. Being such a creature of habit, means that I often struggle to find new products to talk about. So, I decided July would be the time I would introduce a few new things into my life.

Cosmetics and Beauty.
Rimmel 25 hr. Foundation, £7.99

Now, I have to stop myself from rambling on about this foundation. But I do love this. The coverage is  amazing,  imperfections are barely seen. Formula such as this is rarely seen with such a high coverage, it’s so comfortable on the skin. Smelling of Aloe Vera is a significant bonus, too. I apply with a damp Real Techniques sponge, and the finish is perfect.

The only downside to this foundation is that it’s a little dark for me at the moment, so blending it down my neck is a must. Yet, the benefits out way the negatives, 100 to 1, with this high street foundation.





Sheet masks , in fact all masks for that matter, are becoming a regular occurrence in my life. I find that most really give the added moisture I need to my skin. And Soap an glory's 'Bright and Beautiful' Sheet mask is truly no exception. Applying the mask for 20 minutes, really does help give skin a healthy, hydrated glow. For £3.50, I really don’t think you could ask for more.

Simple Skincare- Micellar Water and Toner.

After suffering with breakouts, I have reached for an old favorite. Simple as a brand has grown with me,  through my teens to my hormonal break outs right now. The products may vary, but the brand is always the same.  In all honesty, Simple may be my favorite high street brand.

Micellar Water, £5.27.

I know, I know, I am obsessed with micellar water. And simple’s is probably the best I have tried. Its so light on my skin- it genuinely feels like nothing. Removing any make up and excess oil, like its nothing I really don’t have too much else to say  other than its simply, amazing.

Toner, £3.49.

Simple’s toner is just as incredible as their Micellar water. The light weight formula, eradicates any extra bits that the Micellar water may have left behind. This additional  little extra, really does seem to benefit my skin, it definitely needed to be in my favourites.

IBX Nail treatment!

I don’t want to get into this treatment too much as I plan on blogging about my whole experience. Yet so far, this is honestly the best thing I could have ever done for my nails. As a chronic nail biter, I have always had poor nails/ Torn, split and exceptionally fragile, I  constantly struggled to grow or even maintain my nails.

I’ve recently started having gel on my nails (I can't find the brand), in my first session, it was suggested that I had the IBX treatment to strengthen my nails and help with de-lamination. After only having two treatments thus far, I can honestly say I doubt my nails have ever been this strong and well kept.  If you would like further information on this treatment and the process as a whole, then please keep an eye on twitter.

Galaxy extra frothy hot chocolate, £2.69.

I’ve been trying to watch what I eat a little more. With doing this I have had to try and find a few lower calorie treats. And Galaxy’s Extra Frothy Hot chocolate is most definitely one of them.

I could go into how amazing it is, but seriously- who doesn’t want a super frothy hot chocolate after a day dodging the rain ?

I know this favourites is set out a little differently than many of my previous favourites. Much of my content (I hope ) has diversified and developed a  little further. I am by no means the best, I don’t often proof read and I get overly excited about blog posts, but for me at least my content is slowly becoming the standard of work I want to produce. Flaws and all.

 

Lots of Love.
