June Faves...

Hey there Beautifuls, wow have I been absent throughout the month of June! I know I know! I'm a bad bad blogger but although I havent been blogging throughout June, I've definitely still been trying out new products and re-discovering beauty gems and here's my list of beauty faves for this month...

I've been really enjoying giving my skin a bit of a break throughout the past month and just using either a very light foundation or a tinted moisturiser. I've re-discovered my love for my Origins vitazing moisturiser which when blended into the skin leaves a slight tint and evens the skin. aside from the tinting factor I actually feel this has been doing wonders for my skin too, 've had no breakouts and a generally even, glowy complexion and I do think this has had a lot to do with it.
I recently walked into my local Lush store having been absent from it for a while (too long obviously!) looking for a toner for my skin and was recommended the 'Breath of fresh air' toner. I have to say some have mixed opinions on the smell of this toner but I love it, it's a very floral yet light and fresh scent and is packed full of essential oils to benefit the skin. I was told that this would be good for dry and sensitive skin and could also help reduce redness which I genuinely believe this toner has done for my skin. I've been using it twice a day and is actually the highlight of my skincare routine (...how sad! haha!)
I've also been loving using Johnson's baby oil with camomile for my skin after a bath or sometimes even in the bath for a bit of extra moisture as my dry skin has just been horrible lately. I really like the smell of this oil but it is fragranced which could irritate some people. That's all I can really say about it...haha it's an oil but it really has helped the dry patches on my skin and although I normally hate that greasy feeling I've been powering through and just trying to get my skin back to some sort of normality.

On my nails this month I've pretty much just been re-applying Barry M's Peach Melba, I love this colour, it seems to suit my skin like no other pastel shade and the formula is pretty good, two light coats is all I need for a fair few days of no chipping unless I'm pretty tough on my hands in which case 2 days and they're chipped..I only have myself to blame though...
A favourite which has carried over from May has got to be my Naked pallette, If I've used any eyeshadows on the lids it's been from this pallette and nothing else, in fact, I've been using it so much that I'm now worried about having to buy another just so I have a backup...this can only mean bad things for my bank :(
I'm not really one to finish products no matter how much I love them but I really did love my Superdrug Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser to the very last drop, I've done a full review of it Here but basically if you have horribly dry and sensitive skin like mine then you should definitely consider giving this a go!

I feel like I keep apologising for being absent from my blog but life really has gotten on top of me recently...Thanks to all of you lovely lot for your wonderful, comments, tweets and messages and for sticking by me, I couldn't do it without you.

    1. Thanks so much hun, I went back and changed it and now it should be working fine. You should give the vitazing a go, works wonders for my skin and I think u can now buy a smaller tube for a cheaper price if you weren't sure how you'd feel about it?
