June Favourites

Hi everyone! I am so happy June is finally over it's been the longest month ever, this post is going up a little bit later than I'd normally post a favourites but I've been working a bit more since I finished uni, plus to be honest my mind has been completely elsewhere. I've been trying not to think about this but I get my uni results tomorrow and find out what grade I have received for my overall degree and it's been stressing me out so much! I've tried not to think about it, but so many people who were in the same year as me have all found out their results and graduated already, my uni is always so behind and it really bugs me, so I just need tomorrow to hurry up! I still really wanted to do my favourites post though because there are some products I've really been loving this month and I wanted to share them with you.

- Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer Balm (£4.49). I actually bought the shampoo, conditioner, and the balm of this little range, this is the honey treasures one and I absolutely love it! This is a more conditioning alternative to a standard conditioner I believe, it smells amazing and I can really tell a difference after using it. These ones are for damaged hair prone to breakage, which is definitely me because of my love (need) for hair straighteners, for a drugstore hair product I think it's such good quality, I would get the whole set if you want to try these as I've really noticed a difference, I only use the balm about twice a week as opposed to the normal conditioner as it's a bit heavier and I don't want my hair to go too greasy.

- Origins Checks And Balances Frothy Face Wash (£18.50). I'd used a sample of this a while back to use with my Clarisonic and I fell in love with it, but when it ran out I was a bit reluctant to repurchase as it is expensive, but it's honestly so worth it! This is for combination skin, which I was so adamant I didn't have, mostly because I didn't want to believe it as I feel like this is one of the hardest skin types to deal with, but I have an overall dry face with an oily t-zone and oily cheeks, and this face wash is targeted at combination skin to cleanse oily and dry places without cancelling each other out. Nothing makes my skin feel as clean after use as this product, with a Clarisonic it's amazing! It's got a really fresh peppermint scent as well which I think a lot of people would like.

- Vichy Dermablend 3D Correction foundation* (£21.50). I mostly use this foundation for work as it's matte, when I go for a glowy finish usually, so at work this is perfect for staying on all day. That's not why I love it though, it is seriously has the most flawless finish out of any foundation I own, and I have such problematic skin. If you have texture or redness like me I'd completely recommend this, plus even though it's matte and full coverage it doesn't feel drying or heavy at all and it blends so easily. 

- Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil in 03 Red Berry (£18). I bought this after I fell in love with the Barry M lip oils, and I'd seen so much about these that I thought I'd give in and try a high end version. They had 3 shades and I believe this is one of the new ones from Clarins summer range, but I seriously love this because it's got such a good tint considering it is an oil, and it makes your lips feel so amazing. I get quite chapped lips and this helps them so much while still making them look nice, plus the smell is so good it reminds me of red slush puppies which I'm still addicted to now! Plus I'm obsessed with the applicator, it's so fat and it feels so conditioning when you use it, these are expensive but definitely worth it if you prefer a more natural lip like I do at the minute.

- Benefit Watts Up (£24.50). I have had this for absolutely ages but it had been well and truly forgotten about until recently, I am a highlighter addict I love them so much, but I've been so set on only using powder highlighters for some reason, however I saw someone in a video apply a powder highlighter and then dab this over the top so I tried it and I was obsessed! I would only do that for an occasion though because it's such an intense highlight that I wouldn't want for everyday, however even without a powder highlighter underneath this is gorgeous and I think perfect for summer when you want to look nice and glowy. It would also look amazing with a tan so I can't wait to take it away with me this year!

- Clarins HydraQuench Intensive Serum (full size £43). I would usually never include a sample in my favourites post, however I've used this one up and I am so sad because I actually need it! I got this when I bought the lip oil and the woman working at the Clarins stand raved about it, so I tried it and I'm so obsessed with it, I don't think I've ever used a serum that's so hydrating and made my skin feel so fresh. It's so expensive which is what is putting me off buying it, but I go away next week for a little city break abroad to Madrid so I might have a look when I'm in the airport and see how much it is there. 

- Barry M Lip Oil in Coco Loco (£4.99). I know I already included a lip oil in this post, but the reason I bought the Clarins lip oil was because of this product. For £4.99 these are honestly such a good alternative to a high end lip oil, I think the only difference is the amount of product you get, and how long lasting they are. This one doesn't have a tint so it just applies clear but it still makes your lips feel amazing and look nice and full, plus the scent of this is so nice it just reminds me of summer! 

Watts Up, Clarins Lip Oil, Barry M Lip Oil

There are a couple of non-beauty favourites I've been loving this month, especially TV wise, I feel like I won't be the only one who has been obsessed with this show because everyone seems to be talking about it, but I can't stop watching Love Island! I didn't watch it last year and I thought it would be total rubbish but it's the most addictive viewing ever and I feel like you get so emotionally invested in it! I love Nathan and Cara I think they will win, but Malin goes back in tonight to confront Terry after everything that went on and it's so sad but I'm just wishing the day to hurry up so I can watch it. I have also been loving Big Brother, however I'm such a hardcore Big Brother fan that it's just a given every year with me, Hughie is my favourite I love him so much! I've also been non-stop watching Gilmore Girls now it's on Netflix which is such a big commitment as there are so many episodes but I'm making pretty good progress with it, let me know in the comments what you've been loving this month!
