June Favourites 2014

As a month ends and another one begins i thought i would share what i have been loving throughout the sunny month of June...


We all have those days where we simply can't be bothered to wash and dry our hair, especially if you're like me and it takes what seems like forever. I have tried a few different types but I'm not that fussy when it comes to dry shampoo and usually end up back with Batiste. However, on my last visit to the dry shampoo section I felt a peculiar urge to try something different and I'm glad I did. Foe me this Girlz Only dry shampoo leaves my hair looking naturally clean and fresh. It feels nice in the hair and is practically invisible. I also like like the smell, it's a lot nicer and more gentle than some others I have tried. The only thing I wasn't impressed with was the volume it gave my hair. Don't get me wrong it does give me more volume than I would naturally have but having the name 'Xxl Volume Plus' I was expecting more. Nether the less, I am very much enjoying this product and it's very affordable.

We all have our favourite summer products and I think I have found my perfect summer nail polish. For me coral is my ultimate summer colour and and this nail polish is the loveliest peachy coral shade. Finding the right shade of nail polish to suit my skin can be quite hard for me and when I bought this for a wedding i was attending i was rather sceptical and didn't expect to continue wearing it. I was pleasantly surprised by this polish, I really like it with my skin tone and feel comfortable wearing it. Especially when the sun is shining and I have a bit of a tan. Being someone who has no talent in nail painting I also love the fact it applies evenly and lasts well.


I had my eye on this product for a while but when I saw Revlon were having a 2 for £10 deal I took the opportunity to try it out. The product comes in a range of colours but I went for the shade 'Audacious' which is a beautiful orange toned red, perfect for the summer months. It is a matte balm which means you need to make sure your lips aren't too dry before applying, however it isn't completely matte especially when you initially apply it which I have no problem with. It is very creamy and glides on effortlessly without drying out your lips. It lasts well but does need re-applying a few times throughout the day. For a more natural look I like to dab the product on gently but i also love it applied generously for a pop of colour.





Kiko Boulevard Rock Glow Touch Lips&Cheeks - Analogic Nude - £6.90 £4.00
I heard a few people talk about this product a while ago and whilst in London I took the opportunity to get it. It is limited addition from the Boulevard Rock collection which they currently have a sale on so if you're interested in getting anything from the collection then i would do so pretty soon. I really like the packaging, especially the fact in comes in a tin. The only issue I have is that the tin can be quite tricky to open. I went for the shade 'Analogic Nude' which is a peachy nude(there seems to be a theme of oranges and peaches in this post). The product works well on both the lips and cheeks. I use a stippling brush to apply it to the cheeks giving them a natural flush and is very natural on the lips, depending how much you put on it's almost like a balm.

Finding summer shoes that fit and don't rub is sometimes quite difficult but I think I may have found the comfiest sandals ever! They are very easy to walk in and very comfortable, great for travelling. The buckle does up easily without having to fuss around and the silver detail in the heal makes them seem a bit more dressy so you can be comfy and fancy at the same time. 

That's what I have been loving recently, what have you been loving?
