July Favourites

 

This months favourites is a very varied collection of new and old products.. 

Hair

Herbal Essences beautiful ends shampoo and conditioner, is my new favourite itsmells beautiful and leaves my hair soft and incredibly shiny, I do find that herbal essence can be quite hit or miss but this definitely a hit.. 

Body 

Garnier oil body nourishing lotion- this is my go to moisturiser at the moment, smells beautiful  and leaves my skin feeling wonderful and smooth.

Imperial Leather Foamburst in Lime and grapefruit - Is is my favourite of the whole months smells so fresh and uplifting and can be used to shave your legs aswell as a shower gel.. and you know me anything that save time for the lazy girl is a winner in my books. 

Skincare

Both of my skincare favourites are from the body shop is this month the teatree cool and creamy facewash which has been a favourite of mine for many months, it keeps my skin clear and feeling fresh. Also the new Vitamin E aqua boost sorbet, this is just wonderful the boyfriend picked this up on the recommendation of the shop assistant when he went to pick some thing up for me, and what a recommendation it was, its light but moisturizing and sinks in quickly without leaving a greasy firm.. Ive also found my makeup is lasting alot longer with it.. I love it! 

Makeup 

Revlon Highlighting Palette in Rose Glow - this has fast become the only blush i reach for it gives a lovely glow, and can be used individually to highlight your cheeks, I want the bronze one now too. 

Lollitint - is my most used of the benefit tints, the orchid shade is the perfect pop of colour for me, on my lips or cheeks. 

Nails

BarryM in Copacabana is the most perfect matte red and hasn't left my nails in a week, also worth mentioning it hasn't chipped either.. Impressive i know!

Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain

 

You have probably heard a lot about the Revlon colorstay moisture stains, the hype has been massive in the blogger community so when I saw this in boots, I thought I'd give it ago.. And to be honest I've been in two minds, because when you first apply it, the formula is awful, patchy and  really runny it just doesnt look good! 

Although to be fair my first impression, was while applying it while in my boyfriends car on one of the hottest days of the year so far, but even saying that I just didn't fall in love with it like I did with the matte and laquer balms from Revlon.  

But let's stop all this negativity now, and I tell you some positives, when after about 30 minutes of wearing it, it kind of set in to a lovely even colour, which by the way the one I have is cannes crush a beautiful coral red, and the stain it left behind was lovely and even survived me eating Pizza Hut and many glasses of Pepsi max. 

So overall I'd say put this on about 30 minutes before your gonna leave the house and you won't be disappointed with results. 

Have you tried any other colours?

Ultimate blends - The silky smoother

Hi Everyone, 

This was meant to be up last week, but i forgot to schedule the post :/ Not my brightest move ill admit anyway lets get on with the review... 

You like me have probably seen loads of reviews of the Ultimate Blends, and after the major advertisement Garnier put for them i'm not surprised so many people jumped on the old bandwagon, including myself.

The first one i'm going to review is The silky smoother version, which i'm sorry but i hate! I cant give this stuff away the smell is awful, it makes my hair lank and greasy and i have the ideal hair for this shampoo and conditioner and i cant get it to work for me. The smell is the most off putting thing about it to be honest, to me it smells like the yellow antibiotics you used to get a child.. You know the ones i mean? 

If you like that smell then by all means pick it up.. But for me its total turn off and the smell hangs around aswell..

Overall its not for me, But what do you think? 

Let me know in the comments, and don't forget to follow on all the usual social media which can be found the buttons above.. 

Till next time...
