June Favourites

Hi everyone,

We are now over a week into July so apologies that this post is coming a little late. I have been ill this week but thankfully I’m on the mend now and hoping to be able to go back to work next week and just get back to normal as I am really starting to get cabin fever now! I actually didn’t have too many new favourites in June as I was on holiday for most of it and so was wearing very little makeup and keeping my skincare routine to a minimum. There are a couple of other things that I have enjoyed using throughout the last few weeks though so I thought I would still do a monthly favourites post to share them with everyone.

1)  Glass Mason Drinking Jar (£2.99)

I bought this drinking jar from my local gardening centre and as soon as I saw it I just thought it was so cute. My boyfriend keeps going mad at me for buying more and more cups, glasses, Tupperware and cute little bowls but I say you can never have too many. I have pretty much used this glass every time I have had a drink since I got it so I am definitely getting my money’s worth.

2)  Skinny Dip Phone Cases (£14 and £12)

When I was on holiday we had wifi on the beach which turned out to be quite dangerous for my bank balance as I spent my days sunbathing and online shopping! It was like Christmas when I got home as there were so many parcels waiting for me and thankfully it made the holiday blues a little easier to deal with! One of the orders I made was to Skinny Dip where I got these two iPhone cases. I had had my eye on the unicorn one for ages but I also couldn’t resist the rose gold and pink glitter one which is just right up my street.

3)  Nature’s Ingredients Lemon Verbena Body Butter (£7)

I am not a person that tans very easily so when I actually managed to get a little bit of a tan when I was on holiday, I wanted to make sure I kept it as long as possible. This body butter from Marks and Spencer has been one of my favourites and also one of my boyfriend’s favourites unfortunately for me! It smells so delicious and refreshing and really hydrated my skin well allowing me to keep my tan from peeling that bit longer. There is also a lighter version available which will be great for when my skin isn’t feeling as dry.

4)  The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Reviver Instant Smoother (£16)

I bought this before I went on holiday on the recommendation of a friend who said it had really helped improve the condition of her skin. I’m not sure I can say it has improved my skin that much so far but I have still enjoyed using it and will definitely be repurchasing it once it has run out. It has a silicone feel to it which I liken to Benefit’s Professional and I have been using it mainly underneath my makeup as a primer. It helps my makeup go on really smoothly and just gives my skin an overall boost. There is quite a strong orange scent to it which may not be to everyone’s taste but I really like it and find it to be quite refreshing.

5)  Topshop Nail Polish in Leigh (£6)

Blue nail polishes tend not to be my thing normally but I couldn’t resist this cute pale blue polish from Topshop which is just perfect for this time of year. I often forget about Topshop makeup but I have always liked any products that I have picked up from there in the past. If you have any recommendations for products from there please let me know as I really want to try more from their range.

And that’s it! A bit of a mixed bag this month and not all beauty products but June has not been a normal month for me. Although July has got off to a bit of a rocky start, I am hoping it will be a good month with lots of new things to try.

Which products did you enjoy using throughout June? How has your July been so far?

Thanks for reading,
