I have loved the month of June. I got to see my friends who I haven't seen in months, I got my first job, and the weather is really perking up which in turn, makes everyone just that bit happier. I hope everyone's had a lovely month, and is enjoying the lovely weather! Now, onto what this post is really about:
To kick things off, I have been really impressed by the Herbal Essences Clearly Naked 0% Dry Shampoo. A bit of a random one, but it leaves no weird looking white cast, yet still manages to soak up unwanted oils, leaving my hair looking fresh. The scent is amazing too!
Next, is my new found favourite summer scent in Nicki Minaj Minajesty Eau De Parfum. It's so fruity, yet sweet and fresh at the same time. I think it smells like watermelon, even though there's no mention of it in the description of the fragrance... how odd.
Since it is Summer, I've been self tanning this month and to smooth my skin beforehand, I've been using the Pulp Friction Foaming Fruity Body Scrub from Soap & Glory. Body scrubs can be a bit too harsh for my skin and can leaving it looking a bit red and blotchy but this doesn't do that at all, my skin is just left feeling and looking super smooth. The scent is described as 'fruity' but I'd say it has more of a lovely fresh, citrus smell that always leaves my boyfriend wondering why the bathroom smells so good.
Normally, the Bourjois Delice De Poudre bronzing powder would be a bit too warm for my pale skin but it suits me perfectly now that I've got a bit of a tan. It's so soft and blendable, and anyone that has this will know that it smells incredible. I can even get away with this as a contour if I wish.
Next up is my everyday foundation of choice, it's the Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation in Popsicle (I believe). I got this last year, hence the old packaging. When I first got this, I found it was way too dark, but it suits me perfectly now. It has a buildable coverage, so I normally use this on days where I don't want to spend a lot of time on my foundation but I want some coverage, and this is perfect.
Last on the beauty list is the Boots Botanics All Bright Refreshing Eye Roll On. This is some serious stuff. This can cheat me into looking like I've had a full night's sleep when that is really not the case. It's so cooling and hydrating, and it banishes any puffiness and dullness super quickly. It's lightweight and speedily absorbs, I love this!
Movie of The Month
I was recently introduced to Scott Pilgrim Vs The World (trailer here). It's based on a series of graphic novels, and you can really tell. The superhero style fight scenes, and anime-style effects throughout really captures the imagination and makes it super fun to watch. The storyline is based on Scott Pilgrim and his endeavour to get the girl: Ramona Flowers. What he doesn't know is that he'll have to defeat The League of Evil Exes. Yes, it sounds ridiculous and it kind of is, but it's still awesome.. which brings me onto my song of the month. (Sidenote: I'm contemplating a little series on the blog where I talk about movies or review them, what do you think?)
Song Of The Month
Evidently, this song is from the aforementioned movie. It's called Black Sheep by The Metric, but I much prefer the movie version. I haven't been able to stop listening to it, it's ridiculous.
TV Favourite
I started watching The Vampire Diaries a month or so ago, but I was really busy then and wasn't able to get really into it. Now that I have a lot more free time, I've been loving it. I've only just started season 3 so I am behind. I really don't know why I haven't watched this before, it's so frickin' good. Let's just take a moment for the beauty that is Paul Wesley. Good lord.
Let me know if you like this favourites layout. I just wanted to throw in a new little segment at the end to talk about non-beauty things. What have you been loving this past month? -x
