June Favourites

June has really flown by, and has been such a busy month for me! I've finished uni, got a job, been to Paris and been to Glastonbury so I have really neglected Naomi Rose this month. Shame on me. However, I have nothing else coming up to distract me (boo hoo) so can really get back into the blogging world. 

This month i've discovered some new bits that have really changed my beauty routine, and bits that I will definitely be, or have already repurchased. Theres quite a few so sorry about that but I really couldn't leave any out.

First is a body product. I'm really lazy when it comes to taking care of my body. I fake tan once a week so also exfoliate, but i'm so lazy when it comes to moisturising. However, I was bought a soap and glory gift set for my birthday, and only recently started using the bits in it. One of them was the Soap and Glory Righteous Body Butter. This moisturiser smells so amazing and makes my skin feel so smooth and not oily or greasy, I have fallen in love. The pot is also huge so has lasted me ages and i'm only about halfway through. It is also great for fake tanners like myself to preserve the tan and also stop it clinging onto any dry bits. Definitely recommend this for lazy body moisturisers like myself!

Next is the Origins Clear Improvements Active Charcoal Mask, which I have been wanting to get my hands on for ages. I love the Drink up Intensive overnight mask, so was sure that I would love this too. You apply it to damp skin, wait for it to dry and then wash it off, and your skin instantly feels so much cleaner and smoother. I used this after Glastonbury, when my skin was feeling dry and neglected and it made such a difference. I also find that if i'm having a bad skin day, using this quickly before applying my make up makes such a big difference. I do find that I do have to rub it off my skin a bit more than I would like, but my sensitive skin doesn't go red or stingy afterwards which is always a bonus for me.

Another skin care product I have been loving this month is the much raved about Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum. I have wanted this for ages but finally caved this month and I don't know how I ever coped without it. I use a few drops of the oil before going to bed, and wake up with my skin feeling so much smoother and plumper. My skin has always been quite red, and I really think that this has calmed it down so much, and also prevented me having break outs. I cannot recommend this product enough. 

Where make up is concerned, there is one product that has changed my routine forever. It's the Kiehls Micro Blur Skin Perfector. This claims to refine and smooth skin texture, minimise the appearance of pores and improve skins quality over time. I use a small blob all over as a primer, but it can also be used as a treatment at night time. When I first started using this, so many people commented on how good my skin looks. It minimise the appearance of my pores and makes my skin look so much smoother, and definitely keeps my make up on for longer. I really really love this product and have already bought another one just before this one runs out. It also lasts ages which is great and I definitely think it is worth the £23 price tag.

Another make up product is a foundation i'm late to rave about. It's the Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet. I never thought there would be a foundation to replace Estee Lauder Double Wear for me, but this has swayed my view on foundations totally. It is so much more sheer and lightweight compared to the double wear which I never thought I would like but now love. I prefer this to the vitalumiere aqua, as it offers a little more coverage, and has a more matte finish, which is good for those with oily skin like myself. I purchased this in both B10 and B20 as i'm B10 naturally and B20 with a tan.

I've mentioned before that I don't use a lot on my lips, but I have purchased a lip balm that I love. It's the EOS lipbalm in pomegranate and raspberry. It leaves my lips feeling smooth and good enough to eat. Theres also so much of it I can see it lasting me ages, and i'm definitely going to try some new flavours. 

Finally (sorry for listing so many products I had to include them all) is a perfume. I love all of the Marc Jacobs fragrances and have an ever growing collection, and my newest addition is the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau so Fresh. This is such a nice sweet floral fragrance for summer, and is sweeter than the regular Daisy. I have had so many compliments when I have worn this, and of course the bottle looks so pretty up on my shelf!
