Monthly Favourites | June

NARS Laguna Bronzer - Need I say more? This will always be a firm favourite every month for me. You can find out why in my full review here.

Bio Oil - I recently purchased this from Feel Unique after hearing so many people rave about its miracle working ingredients. To be honest, I expected its claims to be a load of rubbish but I have been using it on a scar and much to my surprise, have definitely noticed a difference. I have also been applying a teeny bit to my face before bed as it claims to even out skin tone and reduce redness. I will be doing a full review when I have been using it for slightly longer.

Joico Moisture Recovery Leave-In Moisturizer - I recently reviewed this product here after randomly purchasing it from Feel Unique. Since purchasing, I have been constantly spraying this on my hair to keep it moisturised and tangle free. It also smells amazing!

Xen-Tan Mousse Intense - This has been my go-to self tan this month and I love how it gives me a natural olive colour as apposed to an orange 'fake' look a lot of false tans can provide. You can read my full review on it here.

Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic - I actually bought this a while ago and never got into a proper routine with it. However, I've been using it again this month and really love it. It smells great and really refreshes my skin. Full review to come soon.

Revlon Nail Polishes - Since being in Australia I have developed a love for Revlon nail polishes. They are very popular here and the colour range is fabulous. I recently bought these two pretty pink shades that I plan on doing a nail look with soon.

Clarins Daily Energizing Gel - I have completely used this up this month, theres not a scrap left. I absolutely love how light this feels on my skin, it smells amazing and leaves my skin soft and moisturised. You can read my review of the Clarins Daily Energizer range  here.

NAKED 2 Palette - If you read my blog regularly you will know my boyfriend recently surprised me with this and I have been really enjoying using it. If you want to know why I love it, you can read my review here.

MAC Gold Deposit MSF - This is such a pretty highlighter and I have been using it almost everyday to add a bronzed glow to my cheekbones. It is perfect for the summer months and relly brightens up my complexion. Again, you can read my full review here.
Inglot Lipstick (No.28) - If you read my blog regularly you will know how much I love berry pink lipsticks. This particular one has been one of my favourites lately as it is extremely pigmented, moisturising and smells incredible. I have been reaching for it a lot this month and I love the sleek packaging too. If you would like me to do a full review with swatches, please let me know.
Revlon 'Lollipop' Lip Butter - Yes, another berry pink lip product has made my favourites. Did I forget to mention I love this colour? I actually dedicated a blog post to this product here as it is my absolute favourite lip product at the moment. I have been using this none stop for the last few weeks and have found it works well for both day and night. It is extremely moisturising on the lips and the pink shade with blue undertones make my teeth look extra sparkling.

Eyelash Curlers - This is a bit of a random one to include but I have been using eyelash curlers everyday for the past couple of months now. I stopped using them for a while after I had a disaster which involved me pulling a clump of my eyelashes out. (Not a good look). However, I have got back into them lately and love how they help my eyes and lashes stand out.

What are your favourite products this month? Oh and I'd also like to say as if its the blooming 1st of July already? Where on earth did June go? Its my 22nd birthday on Friday and it only seems two minutes ago I was turning 21, crazy!

Lots of Love,

NARS Laguna Bronzer

Hey Ladies! I know you will have probably already seen a million reviews of the infamous NARS Laguna bronzer but I wanted to share my thoughts on it anyway. As you may of noticed, I have featured this in every favourites or FOTD I have posted on my blog. I would even go as far as saying this is my favourite high-end beauty product. I  use this every single time I apply my makeup and it the best bronzer I have ever used. It is the 'best' in my opinion for a few reasons. Firstly, I love the packaging of NARS products and feel so glam when pulling this out of my makeup bag. There is something so sleek and elegant about it and if I could afford everything from NARS, trust me, I'd have the lot. Secondly, I love the colour. You may be thinking, 'it's just a bronzer' but in my opinion you can go so wrong with a bronzer. Lets face it, nobody likes the oompah loompah look that some bronzers provide but luckily, Laguna does the opposite. Rather than providing an orange look, this bronzer creates a lovely bronzed glow. It has an almost matte finish making it perfect for contouring but it does contain very finely milled shimmer meaning it creates a glowy effect. If you are looking for a matte bronzer but are worried about it being too flat, this bronzer is perfect as it has the perfect balance between matte and shimmer. Nobody wants to look like a disco ball right?

As well as the actual product itself, I love how long this stuff lasts. When I have bought drugstore bronzers in the past they have only lasted me around a month. This bronzer typically lasts me 3-4 months and I have repurchased this 3 times so far. The only bad thing about this product of course is the price. Nobody wants to splash out £24.00 on a bronzer but trust me, it is worth it. This provides my face with exactly what it needs in a morning. It warms up my skin tone, gives me a subtle glow and defines my cheekbones. It really is one of my must-have products. Also, I can almost justify the price when I think about how long this lasts me. I think 3 months with everyday use is pretty good going. If you don't wear makeup everyday, of course it will last even longer. I've not been wearing makeup every day while I've been in Oz so I haven't even started to hit pan on this and I bought it 6 weeks ago. If you want to buy this wonderful product it is available on the NARS website, ASOS or Space NK.

Have you ever tried NARS Laguna? Do you love it as much as me?

Hey Ladies! I hope you are all having a fab week. These are a selection of products I have been loving and using a lot throughout April. I didn't do a 'March Favourites' post as I was rushing around getting ready for trip to Australia so I definitely wanted to do one this month as I always enjoy reading other peoples. Not surprisingly, NARS Laguna has made its way into my favourites again. I featured it in my February Favourites and to be honest, I think it will be included in every favourites post I do. It is a product I never get bored of and I use it every single day. All of the other products listed are relatively new and if you read my blog regularly you will know I have reviewed the Lip Butters, Colour Tattoos, Wake Me Up Foundation and Real Techniques Buffing brush in previous posts. As for the Argan Oil and Clarins Moisturiser, these are also recent purchases and I will be reviewing them soon so keep a look out for the upcoming posts if you want to hear more about them. They are both fabulous products that I have been really enjoying. As for the Barry M Nail Polish, what can I say? It is the most perfect Spring nail colour ever. I'm loving anything mint at the moment so this is perfect. Barry M are great nail polishes and this colour has been on my toes for the past couple of weeks.
Also, you might of noticed my blog has had a bit of a makeover. I absolutely hated my previous header as it was far too big and far too pink. I am not on photoshop so it was a pretty shoddy homemade job. It was so big that it stretched my whole screen meaning I had to zoom out every time I clicked on my blog. I hated it being so big and I imagine it would be annoying for anyone reading my posts, Anyway, after months of stressing about my awful header, I decided I needed help. I got in touch with Kirsty from Rockit&Rebel after seeing her advert for £5.00 blog headers on Twitter. I told her what I was after and she sent me lots of samples. I decided on this cute grey and pale peach colour scheme in the end and I am delighted with it. I think my blog is a lot easier on the eye now and it is now the perfect size meaning I don't need to zoom out whenever I load it. Yey, happy Kayleigh. For £5.00, I can't complain. It is such a great price and Kirsty was so helpful. If you fancy freshening up your blog, you can get in touch with Kirsty via Twitter here or at her blog here. What do you think of my new and improved blog? I hope you all like it!
