(A very late) June Favourites!

Hello again, I'm sorry for the very late post, but I wanted to get this one up because I have been loving a few products lately and wanted to share.

Maybelline - The Falsies Mascara
I've had this for a while now but I have only started loving it now that is has dried out a bit... I find mascaras much easier to work with once they are slightly drier and this one is great! It adds volume and length without making them look clumpy! I love it.

Maybelline Babylips - Pink Punch
Another product that I've had in my stash for a long time but I've only recently started loving. Lately I've been loving the minimal look with a wash of pink on the lips and this one is the one I keep reaching for. It's perfect for summer.

Balance Me - Wonder Eye Cream
The perfect little depuffer, great for dark circles and soothing for puffiness, I have found myself reaching for this a lot lately especially as its hay fever season!

So Susan - Universal Blush
A blush that adapts to your skin tone? Perfect. 
This blush is great, it gives you the perfect warm glow leaving your skin looking beautiful in the sun. I love it.

Simple - Illuminating Radiance Cream
For those days when my skin is just looking dull and lifeless I have been reaching for this as my day time moisturiser. It has a hint of shimmer in it that gives your skin a perfect but subtle glow when the sun catches you. It also has SPF 15, what more could you want.

Skin Care Saviours

Hello!
So if you read my blog you'll know I have recently had a few problems with my skin. I developed a rash on my face (I think allergy related) as well as several spots and my complexion was just not looking good.
I don't tend to suffer from bad skin too often, I usually get 1-2 spots a month so this was a bit scary for me. So I decided it was time to change it up, I went to Boots and just bought a few things to try to renew my skin.
The first thing I got was E45, my mom used to use this for everything as a kid and it's supposedly good for rashes (amongst other things) so I gave it a try.
This not only got rid of my rash within a day or two but I've found myself reaching for it loads since getting it and now I don't leave the house without it. 

I also got my hands on a bottle of Hydraluron, I did a full review on this here, but this has helped my skin feel much fresher and healthier as well as giving it added moisture and massively helping me out in the long run.

I then decided to pick up a new moisturiser as I'm almost out of my current one and I like to try new ones constantly as I'm always on the hunt for 'the perfect moisturiser', so I picked up the Nivea Daily Essentials Day Cream, this is so nice to wear, it's very light and smooth, it's not as hydrating as it could be, but I like to wear it as it doesn't make my skin feel clogged up and my make up applies nicely over it.

Lastly, I needed a face mask. As my skin was not looking it's best I decided to pick up a face mask to treat my skin to and to unclog any pores and refresh my face. I picked up this Simple one, mainly because I was in a very small Boots and I only had about 2 face masks to choose from but nevertheless, I bought it and I actually like it.
I've always like Simple products, they're very light and nice on my skin, this face mask is no different. It's very light and fresh and gentle on my skin and my skin feels much cleaner and smoother and I really like it.
Overall, my skin is looking and feeling much better. 
I've been using all of these products for a couple of weeks now and there is a notable difference considering 3/4 of these products are very affordable.
