The Start of Something !

I really wanted to try new products this month; I really haven’t been disappointed. Recently the British Cosmetics industry have really upped their game in, not only the products, but the overall packaging and promotions they provided their customers.
So, why don’t you sit down, grab a cuppa and have a little read of my monthly favorites.
Hair
Lee Stafford, Salt and Algae Mist

My favorite thing to do with this product is spray at the roots (when hair is wet) and leave hair to dry naturally leaving volume and soft waves .
Lee Stafford Coco Loco Hair mask.
This ultra-conditioning hair mask was also in the 3 for £15 offer at Boots. I don’t know what I was expecting when I purchased this but this mask was such a surprise! The nourishing formula helps hair feel soft and really replenished. It softens split ends, allowing layers of hair to look significantly less harsh.
As the name implies, the mask definitely smells of coconut. The smell lasts all day, yet, doesn’t over power and give you a headache.
Use in-between shampoo and conditioner- when the root follicle is open and more susceptible to nourishment the mask provides. Wash until the water runs clear and use conditioner to finish. Trust me you will notice a difference from first use!
Make up
L’Oreal Lumi Magique cushion foundation.
I’ve been debating buying this foundation for such a long time! I couldn’t understand how on earth the product didn’t dry out quickly. If I’m honest after a month of using it I still don’t know how it doesn’t but i promise you it doesn’t.
The dewy coverage is perfect for spring/summer. Personally I would use with a loose powder due to the light formulation and soft coverage- a compacted powder can cause the product to cake. This product doesn’t last all day and will need some top ups throughout the day, this is most probably due to the light formulation and coverage. A full review will be coming soon!
Skin Care
Simples Micellar Face wipes.
These face wipes are the best things I have ever tried. They get every bit of makeup off my face in a matter of minutes. I use this with my Boots Witch hazel and tea tree face foam, to really help freshen up my skin after daily make up use.
Simple’s Micellar Face wipes remove harsh make up with ease. Being gentle on the eye they are a perfect alternative to eye makeup remover.
Treats
I love coffee; it’s needed for me to function. Lately, I have been trying so many iced coffees with my favourite being the Mr Big Boss(its huge) Iced skinny latte. Only 144 calories (compared to some iced coffees that’s great!) and its huge.
If you’re healthy eating then I wouldn’t recommend one of these daily but for a little (big) treat this is a coffee lover’s dream.
I hope you've enjoyed the first blog of the month! Here's to another 30!
P.S all these products can be found at Boots

DeleteGreat favourites. I agree, the UK beauty scene has really upped its game and it's brilliant! Good picks. I got some Lee Stafford stuff too on the Boots deal but am still yet to try them out.

Good luck with blogging everyday in June! I'm not a massive fan of coffee - in fact, I never really got into it because of health reasons, where it would leave me in quite a bit of pain. BUT, after my operation in September to help ease my condition, I decided to give the Starbuck's caramel frappucino a go - omg it's amazing, and I don't want to know how many calories are in THAT!

I know! That's one of my particular faves! Haha no! No need to know the calories! X
DeleteGood luck to posting everyday! I tried to in May but only managed a couple of days before I got to busy. I'm normally a total coffee addict but I just haven't been reaching for it recently.

DeleteI love Lee Stafford products. The growth range is amazing. I have never tried the cushion foundation but really want to. I have really sensitive skin so I am always apprehensive when trying foundations. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely great for sensitive skin, it's really light and doesnt seem to irritate me psoriasis at all! X
DeleteHey! SO excited to see and read your posts every day this month! Good luck lovely, I've just finished blogging everyday this month and know how testing its been! xxxxxx

ReplyDeleteThank you xx
DeleteOh I do love an iced coffee, especially during the summer. And good luck with your daily blogging! It's hard work but so rewarding and worth it in the end :) I did it last year in December and I'm thinking of doing it again in August.

Thank you! It is! Definitely keep an eye out! C
DeleteYay, it's great to see so many bloggers taking on the daily blogging challenge, I'm sure you're going to smash it! I've been so tempted to purchase the L'Oreal cushion foundation for so long too - when it first came out, everyone seemed to be buying it, and the hype has died down a bit since.. I'm glad to hear that you've got on so well with it though! Fab post!

Thankyou! I've had a few technical issues but I'll still have 30 blogs up in30 days.
DeleteI completely agree, there was so much hype when it first came out! It definitely lives up to it though.
