My favourite products of the moment

Hello my loves,

Sorry I've been slacking on the blog front recently... the sun and revision have both been distracting me from writing posts. Plus I haven't really been buying many things so I haven't had any new and fresh to write about. I can only apologise! :)

Anyway I thought I'd show you my favourite products of the moment, like I said I haven't been buying much so none of it is new and most of them are rediscoveries. I thought I'd do little speed reviews as well, I'll start with body/hair...

Phil Smith Shine Brilliance shampoo + conditioner.

I love these, I literally do. My previous choice of shampoo/conditioner was always L'oreal Elvive and had pretty much been through the whole range and thought that I would always use it. I fancied a change and picked these up in Sainburys - so glad I did! I've never been 'into' shampoo, I couldn't care less what brand it was... shampoo is shampoo right? But I actually noticed a difference with this shampoo, when you was it off it makes your hair feel super clean and weightless. Using both of them in conjunction leaves very glossy and smooth hair that feels strong.

Tresemme Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo.

Dry shampoo is a godsend... for in between washes but also for volume. I love Batiste, as do most of us but I feel like this is much better. Its not invisible as it says, but it has much less colour than Batiste and doesn't take ages to brush out, it isn't much more expensive either. I like the scent better than any of the Batiste's too.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter.

Now I'm pretty sure every single one of you has seen and/or used this! I just recently finished one of my Body Shop body butters... for the first time ever! I'm trying to stop wasting products, especially ones like this. I have tonnes of body butters that I get bored of and are just left sitting in a cupboard or drawer somewhere. So I moved onto my Palmer's and I forgot how much I loved it. The scent is delicious - maybe too sweet for some. It takes next to no time to sink in, and keeps my skin so hydrated. My legs get especially dry and itchy with shaving and all that jazz!

L-R NYX Margarita, 17 Purple Haze, Rimmel Spotlight Beige.

These are the only make up favourites I have... I'm in a bit of a slump if I'm honest! These lipsticks are the 3 that I've really been reaching for though. They're such pretty colours... Margarita and Purple Haze being very bold and summery whereas Spotlight Beige is a very pretty nude.

So there we go! Sorry it's such a mammoth post lol. Has anyone got any good drugstore foundation recommendations for me? And which mascara shall I go for next... Collection 2000 Big Fake or Prestige My Longest Lashes?

Favourites of the moment!

Hello my beautiful followers,
I'm gonna do a quick post (I say this but it'll still be long) of my favourites at the moment. I would do monthly favourites type posts but you know what? My favourites dont change all that often! So when they do, I'm gonna do a post like this :)

1) Elf eyebrow kit: So I did a review on this a while back (click here) and I didn't give it a bashing as such, but lets just say I didn't exactly rave about it. However, I started to use it again a little while ago and I've been using it everyday ever since! I don't use the powder but I do use the wax. I think it's a fantastic little thing and the brush that comes with it is actually quite good! Big thumbs up for that.

2) Bio Oil: This is a product that everyone knows about. You either use it yourself, or know someone that does. I lost a lot of weight a few years ago, because of the skin stretching and sucking back in it resulted in a few stretch marks. My sister recommended this and I've never looked back for scars/stretch marks. The other day I was reading the bottle and it said uneven skin tone, which I suffer from. I was debating with myself whether or not to use this on my face, as I have pretty oily skin. I decided I would and now I replace it with my night cream about twice a week. Honestly? My skin tone has evened out a huge ammount. I'm really pleased with how this is working. If anyone wants more details on that or whatever, pop a comment below.

3) NYX round lipstick in Strawberry Milk: I'm loving this colour. It's a gorgeous pale pink that I think suits my colouring really, really well. I've used this a hell of a lot since I got it and I'd defs say it's my fave one I got (nyx haul here).

4) Boujours round pot blush in Lune D'or: I'm a really big fan of these blushes, they last forever, good price and stay put for the day. I actually use this one as a highlighter as it's quite a pale pink. It's got small glitters in it, which makes it such a fab highlighter. I'm really loving this!

5) Barry M bronzer compact: I've never liked bronzer all that much, but thought I'd give this a shot. It's really subtle and even if you think you've put too much on the brush - it's actually really sheer. Veyr buildable as well, and for me its the perfect bronzer colour... not too brown, not orange but not so sheer that it's virtually invisible. Bit pricey for a drugstore bronzer at £10, but hey ho it's a brill product :)

What are you faves right now?
