June Favourites.

Hello lovelies! 

OK, so I've not blogged in the longest time. In my defence I've had a lot going on. I broke my finger, had my University Degree Show, had an interview for a PGCE course, moved out of my flat and back home for the summer, got a conditional offer for the PGCE course (yay!), passed my QTS maths skills test (A mandatory maths test for trainee teachers), got a weeks placement at a primary school, and got the results of my degree; a 2:1 Ba Hons Fine Art. Phew! That's all happened in the space of 3 weeks, so as you can imagine i've been pretty busy and swept off my feet, but in a really good way! In September I will officially begin my teacher training, and hopefully by this time next year will be a qualified Foundation/Key Stage 1 Primary Teacher!! 

Anyway, enough of that, this is a beauty blog, and I've FINALLY gotten around to picking out my favourite products from the month of June. 

Garnier Body Bodytonic Firming Lotion: I've swapped my usual heavy body butter for lighter body lotions, and this Garnier one has been continually brought out to play due to its light, zesty fragrance and firming and toning properties. It claims to create smoother skin in 7 days. I've not noticed complete smoothness, however it does go some way to making the skin appear more toned, whilst also leaving my skin nicely moisturised. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo 'Tropical': This stuff is honestly one of the best products I've used in a long time. I've reached for it so often, I've almost ran out, and once I do, I shall definitely be repurchasing. I've always been a big fan of Batiste, however usually go for the original fragrance. This coconut one is absolutely perfect for the summer, with such an exotic fragrance, and does a great job of adding volume and texture whilst freshening hair between washes. 

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split Ends Protection Cream: I absolutely adore this leave in cream. I'm a massive fan of oils and creams to use on the hair as extra moisture, and this is no exception. it smells gorgeous, and sinks into the hair without leaving any residue. After drying, my hair is so soft and manageable, and the ends seems a lot softer. 

Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser: This stuff is amazing for summer skin. I get oily when the weather gets warmer, which has been happening more frequently this past month. I've been turning to any product that claims to reduce sebum production and take away shine. As well as mattifying my skin, this moisturiser acts as a great base for applying my make up.

MAC Lipstick 'Coral Bliss': Out comes the sun, out comes the coral and peach tones. The two go hand in hand. I have been in love with this cremesheen lipstick ever since I finally got my hands on it. It's sheer, however can easily be built up for a brighter coral colour, and I think it's the perfect shade for a summers day. 

Illamasqua Powder Blush 'Lover': I've blogged about this before, and it's become a real staple blush in my routine this month. A gorgeous matte peach, it adds a glow of colour, without being too overpowering, just what I need for that perfect summer face.
