June Favourites

First of all I need to apologise for the extreamly bad quality of picture, I don’t know what happened..
Anyway, this is my first favourites post, so I am excited!!

In my favourites this month:
Bee Strong Conditioner by Herbal Essences
My Custom Eyeshadow Pallete by Fashionista
Superdrug’s Vitamin E oil
NUXE oil
Black Fluid Lady Gaga Perfume
E.L.F High Definition Powder
Maybelline 24 Hour Matte Lip Colour – Fire Coral
Lancome Hypnose Mascara

I’m sure we have all seen the new fab advert by the amazing Nicole Scherzinger, for the Bee Strong Herbal Essences range. I have found this conditioner to be sooo thick and creamy compared to their other ranges, believe me when I say it smells incredible. I won’t stop using my Bed Head shampoo and I find that this conditioner works with it perfectly!

I wrote a post before on Fashionista Cosmetics so if your interested I would suggest you have a look, I love these eyeshadows and reach for this pallete everytime I am doing my makeup, woohoo.

So after my June GlossyBox and after receiving my NUXE oil, I started to use it on my face and loved it, so I decided to go out and get a cheaper alternative, Superdrug’s Vitamin E Oil, and I love it maybe a little more, and use it everyday. I have dry skin so any areas that need a little TLC, this stuff does the trick!!

While I was on holiday in Glasgow, I came across Lady Gaga’s perfume ‘Black Fluid’ on an amazing offer – I think it was about £15 – I gave it a sniff and bought it instantly.. I never used to remember to put perfume on everyday, but i always look forward to spraying this stuff.

Seeing as it’s summer I find that I am having to make sure I set my foundation properly otherwise, with the oddly amazing weather we are having, it will melt off my face. So recently I went back to last years greatest product by ELF, their HD powder, its translucent, feels like silk and sets my makeup perfectly. (50% off everything at ELF)

Now the Maybelline Lip colour and Lancome Hypnose Mascara are products that I have been using for months now, but still hold a place in this months favourites, this is my all time favourite lip colour as its different from your classic red and I have found it to be perfect for summer! Again, while I was in Glasgow I came across an AMAZING deal on Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara, a pack of two for £34, oooooo. So once I have finished my original Hypnose I will move onto those. I love this mascara as it really lengthens the lashes and no matter how many layers you apply it will never get clumpy!

I’m sure we are all looking forward to July’s GlossyBox, dispatching today!!

My First Ever GlossyBox

“Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription service, which delivers 5 beauty samples wrapped in a beautiful box straight to your door.”

This concept first became popular in the US, and remember hoping that it would eventually come to the UK, after forgetting about it for years, it finally popped back up. GlossyBox has been up and running for just over a year now in the UK, and seems increasingly popular.

I only joined this month, so have received this months ‘June’ box. It was like Christmas. It was beautifully packaged!

It comes with a leaflet telling you exactly what you have inside, how much it is, the best of its uses and where to buy it!

The products i received (right) came to a total of  just  under £20 which is pretty good value (if you’ll use the stuff) for the £12.95 it cost me including shipping!

‘NUXE – Huile Prodigieuse OR’ – This was my favourite sample from the box, this multi-purpose oil was full of gorgeous gold shimmer, i feel like it hydrates my face like no other moisturizer i have tried, although i have never tried an oil on my face before, compared to moisturizer it was incredible! It brightened my skin and seeped in almost immediately.  I am going to try a cheaper High Street alternative before forking out £34 for the full size.  100ml for £34.00 

Figs&Rouge – Cherry Blossom Lip Balm – I LOVE this stuff!! It is 100% pure and natural and contains no petroleum jelly, it smells like cherries (funny that) and is slightly tinted, the colour is the exact colour of my lips but still gives a little shimmer. Its great for keeping in my handbag and is affordable BUT i dislike the application, the product seems to get all clogged up around the end, which is such a waste as i feel i need to constantly wipe it off! 12.5ml for £5.00

JohnFrieda – Frizz Ease Original Serum – I wasn’t overly excited when i saw this, as i know that i will never stop using my Argan Oil which doubles up as a serum when my hair is a little frizzy, i will probably pass this on to a friend or keep it in my handbag for humid emergencies. 50ml for £6.29

MEMEME – Long Lasting Nail Gloss – I tried this nail varnish out the other day, i found it streaky but dried quickly and i only needed one coat, the colour i recieved wouldn’t have been my first choice but maybe i will get some more use out of it after summer, as the colour is a little too dark for me. Full size £5.00

Q- radiance Body spray – Not really my thing, the scent was overpowering and much too floral so i have nothing great to say about it apart from that its cheap.. 😦 £2.29
