Current Favourites

Okay, I have been out of the blogging world for a shamefully long time now. This post was originally meant to be a July favourites, but time has just flown by and now August is nearly over (what the hell!). Hopefully there won't be such a huge gap between this post and my next one, so i'll go ahead and talk about my July favourites now anyway. 

First is Lee Stafford's Big Fat Root Boost Mousse Spray. I'm a self confessed sucker for a hair product that promises volume and a little added oomph to my flat lacklustre locks, and I am also a massive Lee Stafford fan. When I therefore saw Lee Stafford haircare on a 3 for 2 in boots, I was certainly not going to walk away from the offer. One new thing I grabbed was this root boost and I am in love. A little goes a long way, and I do think that if not rubbed into the roots properly, it can go a little stiff in your hair, but this really does add a bit of va va voom to your hair. I have already purchased another bottle for when this one runs out.

Next is the St Tropez Self Tan Express Bronze Mousse. This has made its way to the top of my tanning list, and replaced my beloved Xen Tan. This tan applies so nicely and does not streak at all. It also lasts ages, I have so far found that it easily lasts me a week. It also fades so nicely, none of that streaky patchy fading with this stuff. It is pricy at £33 but so worth it!

Another haircare product is the Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo. As well as being prone to flatness, my hair gets greasy very quickly. I wash it every other day, but I also have to dry shampoo it on the days I don't wash it. I do also use a lot of products on my hair throughout the week, such as the root boost, dry shampoo, texturising spray, salt spray…the list goes on. It is therefore so nice once a week (usually sunday) to use a great clarifying shampoo. This stuff really throughly cleans my hair. It isn't one to go for if you're looking for volume or shine etc, but if you just want really clean hair, this stuff is great.

Next is a rediscovered product, and it is Chanel Le Blanc. I stopped using this for a while, but lately I have been mixing it in with my moisturiser and it has been leaving a natural looking glow and dewy finish under my make up. It is also great to mix with a foundation that may be a bit too dark for you to make it a better match, or using on top of make up as a highlighter. 

Another Chanel product is the Illusion D'Ombre Eyeshadow in the shade Mirage. This is a bronze/brown shade that looks great all over the lid or in the crease. It has some shimmer to it which I like for a made up look. It's creamy, long lasting and comes with a cute little brush to apply it on the go!

Last is the Rimmel Salon Pro Nail Varnish in the shade Hip Hop. This has been my go to summer shade, and is somewhere in between a red/orange shade. These nail varnishes are really long lasting and do not chip at all which I love, because I find so few are like this for me! The brush is also great as it is as wide as your nail, so application is so quick and easy.
