Don't you just hate it when products don't want to be photographed? However much I love my little apartment at university, I hate the fact that there's only one tiny window so the lighting is awful - I apologise for the photos #bloggerproblems. Anyway, it's been quite a month for products! I've really been enjoying many different products this month and although I had a little bit of a shock when I realised it was the 27th of June the other day, I'm excited to be writing my June Favourites. As I mention every month, I love reading these kind of posts so I'm definitely starting to write them more - two in two months, I deserve a medal.
Garnier 5 Second Perfect Blur Primer - £12.99
Although I've always said that this shouldn't be marketed as a "blurring" product, it is a lovely primer and this month, I've really enjoyed using it. In fact, I've enjoyed using it from the moment that I got it. Like I said, it doesn't blur my skin but it does fill in pores and mop up any excess oil throughout the day. It creates a perfectly smooth canvas for make up and foundation glides over the top of it. It's a real pleasure to use and the price isn't too bad either - I just wish they would market it differently.
Vichy Idealia BB Cream* - £21.00
I've never been a BB cream girl - I tend to think that they're a complete waste of time. But this one has definitely changed my mind. I won't go into too much detail about it as I do have a review coming soon (with before/after pictures so you can see the coverage) but it's a real pleasure to use. Not only does it smell amazing but it makes the skin look glowing and healthy, lasts for a good eight hours and has pretty decent coverage. I'm pleasantly surprised as it has quickly become my every day "foundation."
Macadamia Flawless* - £25.75
I've reviewed this product in full here and I still stand by everything I said. It's a very weird consistency and it takes some getting used to but after you've used it once, you will fall in love. It's a lovely weekly treat for me and my hair absolutely loves it. It's basically a shampoo and a conditioner in one that you apply to dry hair, leave on for five minutes and then rinse away. It leaves you hair feeling beautifully soft and nourished with a hell of a lot of movement and volume.
I've never really had a favourite heat protectant spray until this. I haven't been using it for that long but it's incredibly lovely. It's around the same price as most lower end heat defences but the reason why it's better is because it does more than just protect your hair against heat. It holds your style like a hairspray and smooths your hair down like a serum - it's essentially a three in one product. It sprays like an aerosol and covers the entire hair quickly and easily. When I first used this, I used it when I was curling my hair. Instead of my curls lasting a couple of hours - they lasted two days. Enough said.
FaceB4 Daily Cleansing Foam - £14.95
Over the past two weeks, I've raved about this product in my skin care routine posts. I used to hate foaming cleansers as other than stripping my skin completely of its natural oils, I didn't think they did anything special. But this one is incredible. It feels soft to massage into the skin and afterwards, your skin is left feeling supple and it looks glowing. It also helps to keep spots and shine at bay. I use this day and night to cleanse my skin but I don't use it for removing make up as it isn't the best at doing that - I'm a big believer of the double cleanse.
L'Oreal Go Neon Pop in Banana Pop* - £4.99
The most perfect summer nail polish. Ever. I'm completely and utterly in love with all things yellow at the moment and this is no exception. The formula is beautiful, it doesn't chip as quickly as most nail polishes and it leaves your nails looking shiny. I believe that pictures do the talking so you can see a swatch of this nail polish (along with a full review) here.
Deodorant isn't the most glamorous product in the world but alas! We all need to use it. When I first heard about the whole compressed malarkey, I wasn't someone that believed it and it's safe to say, I didn't buy into it. But this little bottle of wonder is incredible and it's completely converted me. I won't go into too much detail as I do have a review coming up of this soon but it smells delicious and does the job perfectly. It also hasn't ran out yet and although I'm yet to use it up, I do believe it lasts just as long as the "normal sized" deodorants.
Models Own Lip-Stix in Ravishing Red* - £5.00
I love, love, love this lipstick! I'm someone who loves red lipstick but struggles to pull it off. This shade however, is perfect. It's not too blue or orange toned and it sits slap bang in the middle and suits every skin tone - I do believe. The formula is beautiful and the product glides onto the lips defining them and leaving them with an intense burst of colour and gloss. You can see my full review and swatch of this lipstick here.
