June favourites

  Hello my lovelies! Today's post is what I've been loving this June, enjoy!
BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO
Batiste is quite a well known brand from the drugstore or supermarket. This scent is 'floral and flirty blush' which smells quite rosy.This lovely dry shampoo comes in different scents but all does the job exactly the same. It is an easy product to use. It promises to revitalise your hair and removes any grease. This works wonders for me,especially if your about to go out the door and your in a rush. A spray of this thoroughly through the hair does the trick, giving you plenty of volume as well. 
                                                                            RRP £3


SOAP AND GLORY BODY BUTTER
I'm sure everybody has heard of Soap And Glory Soap and Glory are the undisputed champions of girly bath and  body products not to mention they make a mean face mask or two. In the quest for silky smooth skin I once again turned to Soap and Glorys body butter. First of all I feel the need to gush about the scent- the yummy softening shea butter and aloe vera- good enough to eat or what?! Sweet, uplifting and 100% scrumptious.
The rich creamy body lotion instantly sinks into your skin, once you apply it, the smell 'lingers' around for quite a good amount of hours which is delightful. The way I see it the quicker I can get dressed after applying any body moisturiser the better!
                                                               RRP travel size- £2.50
                                                                     Full size-£10.50

ECO TOOLS BLUSH BRUSH
  As much as I love my Real Technique Brushes, I wanted to give the ECO TOOLS brushes a go! This is the blush brush, but personally I just use it for my powder, bronzer or blush. I like to call it my 'all over face' brush.
First impressions- I really like that its fine natural hair, and a tiny bit tapered which means you only have to put the product on the top and the bristles around the edge will simply just blend it in for you naturally.
                                                                          RRP £5
                                                     

STILA CONVERTABLE CREAMY BLUSH IN LILIUM
It was only a matter of time, since I was left revelling in the beauty of Stila's Convertible Color in Gerbera, that I would be adding another shade to my collection. Welcome Lillium - A gorgeous perfect pink that is so warm and flattering for your cheeks and lips!  I just love the formulation and versatility of these products, so easy to pop on your cheeks for that just-pinched flush of colour or great to dab onto your lips for when you're on the go.
                                                                     RRP £16


BOURJOIS HEALTHY BALANCE POWDER 
This gorgeous light fluffy powder that gives a boosted radiance with Asian fruit Therapy is incredible! When I saw the Bourjois healthy mix foundation, I wasn't to keen because it wasn't that great for oily skin 'apparently'. So When I popped into Boots I came across this Healthy Balance Powder which promises to give a 10 hours matte finish, I picked it up, gave it a swatch across my hand and the first thing I noticed that it was quite heavy, I still bought it. (obviously). 
I gave it a shot and loved it! It lasts about 6 hours on me because I have oily skin, as I said. You do not need a lot of this as if you swirl alot on your brush it tends to go a bit cakey. Overall, fantastic product 100% recommend this. 
                                                               RRP £5 - £8


                                           
                                             I hope you all enjoyed reading what I've been enjoying

Glossybox June 2013

Hiya guys! This is my first 'proper' blog post on something that I've been enjoying!


I can't believe its June already! Time really does fly by! I hope your all having a lovely month so far and enjoying some of the sunshine we've had!!! It seems the guys over at GlossyBox are as excited about the arrival of the sunshine (finally!) as we are and the June 2013 GlossyBox♦ First impressions .. i'm impressed! All full sized.
ORGANIC SURGE
This is a brand i'm quite familiar with, and have been enjoying it so far. This is the Organic Surge volume boost conditioner. Which promises to build body and shine, it has organic essential oils which having the oils will not weigh down your hair. So far so good! For 200ml this is a cost at just £5.99
MONU SPA HAND AND NAIL CREAM
I didn't get over excited when I saw or used this product. For me the texture is a quite thin oily texture but still melts in to your skin quite nicely and does the job.  I personally love the Soap and Glory Hand Food. For 50ml its priced at £10.95
 MEMEME COSMETICS
This brand I'm also quite familiar with, it's quite a well known brand too. This is one of MEMEME nail polishes, I wasn't to keen when I opened up the box and saw this. I tried it on my nail and thought it was a nice texture and colour, personally I wouldn't wear this on all of my nails, preferably the ring finger (accent nail). For full size this is priced at £5
FIGS AND ROUGE CHERRY BLOSSOM TINTED LIP BALM
Figs and Rouge is a brand that GlossyBox introduced me to a little while ago. I've been through two of their lip balms that come in the little tins and I absolutely love them so I was excited to see the Cherry Blossom tinted Lip balm. I love tinted lip balms, their so fun for a little pop of colour in the summer and the packaging is adorable! Full sized this costs £5
GOSH GROWTH MASCARA
And the last but not least product in my Glossybox. This is the GOSH growth mascara- I absolutely LOVE this product! I tried this with my eyelashes not curled and it was fab! When I did curl them they just popped and made my eyelashes look natural but fuller. I would definitely recommend this mascara if you want that bold eye, you can put as many layers of this you like and it would not clump at all. This is another full priced product and retails for £8.49

   


                                  I hope you all enjoyed my first proper blog post on glossybox.
