June Favourites

During the month of June I've been on a spending ban, with Manchester only a little while away I'm trying to save as much as I can. My boyfriend and I have planned to do so much over our 10 day trip so of course money is a necessity. All month I haven't bought any beauty products (par one or two essentials) so alot of my June favourites are rediscoveries.

I wish this brand was easily available in Ireland. If it was I'd definitely stock up on more bits from the Pink Chiffon range. The scent is heavenly, a mixture between sweet and fruitly. I got this as a birthday gift from a fellow beauty blogger Chie, who knows how much I love Bath and Body Works. This body lotion has quickly become one of my favourites. I'm half way through the bottle and I'll be so disappointed when I run out. The size of this product is also perfect for travelling, it will certainly find it's way into my Manchester travel bag.

My lashes have been looking a complete mess lately, lets just say I won't be using false lashes for a long time. My Nana surprised me with this at the beginning of June and it has been a complete lifesaver. The mascara adds so much volume to my lashes, it doesn't even miss the teeny tiny ones. The brush is different to others as it has a mixture of short and long bristles but this mascara is amazing, I can't find a fault with it. Fanomenal Lashes is definitely my favourite mascara from No7, I love it!!

I've been trying to lay off my straighteners for a while in favour of my natural wavey look which is going quite well. I'm not going to lie now and again I do revolve back to using my straigheners. I always use heat protectant though and this month I ran out mine, luckily I came across VO5's offering while I was going through my haircare products. I like this as it's more of a light spritzs and doesn't drown my hair like some sprays can. This is one of the better heat protectants I've used in a while. From what I can remember it wasn't too expensive I think I bought it in Superdrug. This also has a really nice scent which can be said for alot of  VO5's productsThere's alot of decent products in their styling range, I love Give Me Texture which enhances my waves.

I hate talking about feet they creep me out but this is a product I've been using alot this month. Seeing as the weather has been gorgeous, my boyfriend and I have been going on long walks anytime we can. When I get home I'm always wrecked but so have my feet and sometimes I think we tend to neglect them. So I've been using the Liz Earle Foot Spritzer, I spray both feet twice and pop on a pair of fluffy socks.  It contains menthol so it has an instant cooling which is really nice on my feet after a good long walk or a hard days work. I can't remember for the life of me how much this was but I'll definitely be repurchasing this when I run out.

My Mom got Too Faced's Natural Eye palette for me when she went to New York the Christmas before last. I love this palette, it contains nine neutral shades that all make the perfect natural eye look. As you can see Push Up is my favourite, I use it all over the lid with Erotica in the socket everyday and I love it! If I was going away for a weekend away I'd bring this with me as it has the perfect selection of shadows to get me from day to night.

I actually tried the Nuxe Reve de Miel hand cream at their event and I instantly fell in love with the stuff. I went to my local pharmacy the next day and picked one up. It is rather price at €12.30 but it comes in a nice size tube which is ideal for my handbag. This handcream has a really unique scent which I love, I could sit around smelling it all day. It's a thick hand cream but it sinks into the skin instantly. I've been using this alot especially after work as it leaves my hands nice and soft.

Last but not least I have another haircare product that I've been loving this month. I straighten my hair quite a bit so my hair does go quite flat and lifeless. I'm not the biggest fan of dry shampoos so when I first tried John Frieda's Luxurious Volume Anytime Volume Refresher* I was a bit sceptical of it. I had no reason to worry as this stuff is brilliant. Firstly the product doesn't have the stronge nasty scent that some dry shampoos have which is a plus. It gives my hair a much needed lift and adds I nice bit of volume. This product absorbs oil so it would be classed a dry shampoo but I use it just to get a nice bit of body in my hair. I lift up bits of my hair and spray this at the roots, it does leave a light powder but it's easily blended in. One of the many things I like most about Anytime Volume Refresher is that it doesn't leave your hair looking ashy which alot of dry shampoos can. It also comes in a skinny can which does come in handy as it's the perfect size for my handbag.

What made it into your favourites for June??
