JULY 2016 BEAUTY FAVOURITES

July 2016 Beauty Favourites

It’s that time of the month again – beauty favourites time! This month I have a great mix of products for you – there’s makeup (obviously), skincare, haircare and nail products. I hope this post inspires you to try these and that you fall in love with them as much as I have.

Avon Shine Burst Gloss Stick in Fresh Fuchsia

Avon Shine Burst Gloss Stick in Fresh Fuchsia Swatch

Let’s start with makeup – my favourite. I love the new Avon Shine Burst Gloss Stick in Fresh Fuchsia (£8 from Avon). These are bright and glossy lipsticks with a sheer finish. They are really moisturising and contain hydrating coconut oil, plus there’s SPF 15 too. These are slightly sticky (but not annoyingly so) and are basically a cross between a lip gloss and a lipstick.

Too Faced Sweethearts Baked Luminous Glow Bronzer in Sweet Tea

Too Faced Sweethearts Baked Luminous Glow Bronzer in Sweet Tea Swatch

I’ve also been loving a new bronzer from Too Faced. Their Sweethearts Baked Luminous Glow Bronzer in Sweet Tea (£25 from Debenhams). It’s a great shade for my pale skin and I use both of the shades swirled together to bronze round the outside of my face, my neck and my chest. When dusted on lightly it gives you a lovely warm glow and you can really build up the colour – as this swatch shows.

Lottie London Strobe Stix

The Lottie London Strobe Stix (£5.99 from Superdrug) are stunning cream highlighters. They are very similar, but one is champagne-toned and one has a white/silver tone. These blend really nicely into the skin and don’t disturb the makeup underneath. They give a long-lasting highlight that you can build up from a natural level to some serious strobing.

Embryolisse Radiant Eye Beauty Cooling Stick

Onto skincare, we have what I think is one of the best beauty products ever invented. I need to order this in bulk! The Embryolisse Radiant Eye Beauty Cooling Stick (£20.50 from Boots). This is an ultra-cooling stick of eye cream-gel that instantly cools your eye area, de-puffs, boosts circulation to decrease dark circles and makes you look more awake. I use this so many times throughout the day just to refresh and awaken. This is a popular product with makeup artists to improve the look of model’s tired eyes. I don’t know how this is so cooling, but it’s glorious. There’s also Vitamin E and Aloe Vera in there too.

Revidox Skin Supplement

I’ve also been looking after my skin by taking a daily Revidox+* supplement (£35 for 60 days from  Revidox). This is a new all-natural supplement that I’ve been taking for around 6 weeks now. It’s very hard to judge what this does/whether it’s having any effect, but I think that my skin feels a lot healthier, firmer and less dry. It contains Stilvid – a natural anti-oxident derived from grape skin. Recent studies have shown it to be 2000 times more powerful than other antioxidents to protect you from free radicals and oxidative stress. There are so many good ingredients in this supplement that take care of so many different aspects of your skin – there’s Pomegranate (a high antioxident that also reduces breakouts and wrinkles), Vitamin C (helps with the formation of healthy collagen), Selenium (protects against oxidative stress), Vitamin B2 (helps reduce tiredness and fatigue) and Zinc (to help maintain healthy skin, hair, nails and brain function). The purpose of these supplements is to reduce the signs of aging, improve moisture levels and to protect the skin against free radicals and the environment.

Salon Science Hydrasoothe Cooling Spray

My hair is already really dry, but the summer heat wrecks it even further. I’ve been loving the Salon Science Hydrasoothe Cooling Spray (£6.67 from Boots). This spray soothes itchy and irritated scalps by cooling the skin and also hydrates the hair and protects it against environmental stress. This is very much a summer product and I’ve been using it every day that I’ve been out in the sun. It contains Aquacacteen (an elixir from organic cactus), as well as Aloe, to do the soothing and protecting.

Kiko Ready-To-Go Art

Kiko Ready-To-Go Art

Finally, I’ve been utterly addicted to the Kiko Ready-To-Go Nail Colour/Art (£1.90-£5.90 from Kiko). I ordered around 20 packets of these, which is enough for 40 manicures. These are the best and longest lasting nail wraps that I have ever tried and they come in so many different colours and designs. Mine last for around 10 days and look exactly like a gel manicure. These are so different from normal nail wraps as they are a lot more like a very thin foil. When you open the packet, they smell a lot like nail varnish and Kiko describe them as being a base coat, polish and top coat fused together. I think this is why they last so long, as they aren’t the plastic-y paper nail wraps that all other companies do. If you get regular gel manicures, getting these instead will save you a fortune.

Do you like the look of any of these?

This week I’ve been LOVING the new Niacinamide Dew Drops - heavenly glow, contains my hero ingredient Niacinamide & lovely hydration. Recommend as last step in skincare, before makeup or instead of makeup. 
🙌🏻
Also been loving the Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask. It’s been nice to add a dedicated PM eye product to my evening routine & my under-eye area is smooth & rested when I wake up.

PR sample — Happy #texturetuesday 🥳 This is t PR sample — Happy #texturetuesday 🥳 This is the brilliant new scalp treatment from @tresemmeuk - you get hair posts 2 days in a row! The Tresemme Purify & Hydrate Exfoliating Pre Shampoo Scrub is currently half price in Superdrug for just £3.02!
💆🏻‍♀️
This scrub is helping my hair to last longer between washes as my problem is that my roots get greasy fairly quickly. It does take a while to rinse out, but it’s worth that extra effort. The exfoliant is coconut shells! It also has menthol in it which is really refreshing & awakening in the morning.
💆🏻‍♀️
Adding this into my routine before a hydrating shampoo really deeply cleans my roots and stops them getting oily so fast, meaning that my roots and ends progress at the same dirtiness pace!

PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this pro PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this product over the last couple of weeks & it’s for good reason. It very much is, indeed, a miracle. In just 8 seconds, as your conditioner, this will give you the smoothest, sleekest, softest hair you’ve ever had. I’ve just ordered 2 more bottles.
🙌🏻
The L’Oreal Dream Lengths 8-Second Wonder Water is £9.99 and you’ll get no more than 10 applications per bottle, but it sure is ‘worth it’. Wonder Water is a breakthrough damaged hair treatment, in a rinse-out liquid conditioner formula that’s powered by Lamellar Water Technology. Moisturising agents and amino acids target dry, damaged areas of hair, forming thin layers called Lamella to smooth hair’s surface instantly transforming lengths for silkier, shinier and healthier-looking hair. 
🙌🏻
I’m honestly not sure I’ll ever use another conditioner again. You need it, go buy it. Now, now, now!

The Oskia Renaissance Mask is a cult favourite & I’ve loved it for years. It’s a thick lush balm that you lather on your face, leaving it for 20 mins to do it’s amazing exfoliation & radiance-boosting work. The Kora Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum brightens, boosts skin elasticity, diminishes the appearance of lines and hydrates the skin too. The Aromatherapy Associates Rose Bath & Shower Oil is a heavenly treat. I apply it around my shoulders and chest, breathing  in the calming aroma, before getting into the shower. Finally, Prismologie’s Rose Quartz & Rose Balm soothes your mind and nourishes the skin on your body. It leaves you with a little bit of lustre too 💫
