Shock horror! I'm actually doing a monthly favourites this month. Monthly favourites are some of my favourite blog posts to read however, it's rare that I ever do them myself for some strange reason. But this month, I've been loving a few products that I just had to share with you.
To me this nail polish is summer in a bottle. Formula wise, it's not the greatest. It takes at least three coats to look opaque and it can sometimes apply streaky but I swear to god, it's worth it. It's the most beautiful orange red colour with gold shimmer running through it. It's also very shiny and you can see a swatch of this polish on my Instagram here. Gorgeous, right?
Until now, I used to use the cheapest clear nail polish I could find as a base/top coat however, I found this in the Boots Clearance section and I haven't looked back since. My nails are stronger and it's rare that they break. Also, my nail polish doesn't stain my nail any more which is great considering my original nails were starting to look like a rainbow.
VICHY Dermablend in 25 Nude* - £15.50
I adore this foundation. It covers absolutely everything and I wear it almost every day. If you suffer with any kind of blemishes then I highly, highly recommend this as a foundation or even a concealer. It is perfect. It's full coverage, lasts all day and is light on the skin. You also don't need a lot of the product as it's extremely pigmented so it's definitely worth the price tag. You can read my full review (and see before/after comparison images) here.
For me, body hair removal is a chore. Before finding this moisturiser, I had to shave my legs every single day however now, it's around every four days. Moisturising is something else that I think of as a chore but this moisturiser is so light and lovely that it makes the job pleasant and fun - I look forward to it these days. I believe that this will remain a daily staple in my routine for a long, long time.
James Read Sleep Mask Tan* - £25.00
This is one of those products that once you've tried it, you can't live without it. It does exactly what it claims to do - tans your face and gives you a facial all while you sleep. After using this, I wake up to glowing, healthy skin. It doesn't make you orange, it doesn't apply streaky and you end up looking a little bit more tanned. I think it's wonderful at topping up your fake tan throughout the week. You can read my full review here.
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette - £20.00
Ever since falling in love with the KIKO Long Lasting Colour Lip Markers (full review here) I've been wearing a more natural eye. And of course, the palette that I turned to for this was the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. When it comes to every day natural matte colours, this palette is perfect. The colours are nicely pigmented and they blend and last well on the lid - I highly, highly recommend.
Fake Bake Legal Sunburn Blush* - £8.00
This blusher has become my everyday go-to blush product. It's beautifully pigmented, soft and blendable and it leaves you with the most gorgeous flush of colour that makes you look glowing. I just can't believe how affordable it is as it's such a great, high quality product. You can see a swatch of this blush and my full review here.
So there you have it - the products I've been loving a lot this month. If I could have done, I'd have included all of the products mentioned in this post as well however, seeing as I only wrote about them the other day, I didn't see the point. I've been loving many products this month and I've discovered some little beauties so hopefully the same will happen in June and I'll be able to continue my monthly favourites throughout the year. What have been your favourite products this month? Do any of yours match mine?
