Weekly Beauty Favourites #1


Happy Sunday Morning Everyone!

This week has been a busy one! I cannot believe we're into June. Where has the time gone, eh?
On a morning, I've been keeping my 'getting ready' routine to a minimum. These products have been part of my weekly staples for some time now. And it's time to share...

As the weather is starting to get warmer here in the UK means I am wearing less and less (layering I mean) in a bid to try and stay cooler throughout the day. I have typical British skin. I'm pale and burn easily. But thankfully, I once the redness has settled I tan. So, to kick start the tan, I have been using the Garnier Body: Summer Body Moistrurising Lotion Sun Kissed in Deep. It's currently on sale at Boots.com. It's a bargain in if you're on a budget! This is a gradual tanning lotion that allows you to control and build up your tan. The more you apply it, the darker your gradual tan will look. The apricot fragrance is lovely and distracts from the usual tanning smell. Its non sticky and easy to apply. This is my second bottle of the year!

The second product that I've been enjoying this week is the Studio Blush and Highlighter Palette from Super drug. It was part of the Studio Natural Beauty Set that I purchased at Christmas (I know - ages ago right). There are 3 shades available (from L to R): a peachy rose, a dark rose and a shimmer for highlighting areas of the face.  Use together, and all three shades can create that perfect summer glow. I tend to use the peachy rose shade during the day as it compliments my skin tone. Both blushes are full of pigments so I only use a tiny amount. The shimmer is subtle enough to 'highlight' as suggested. Great little palette that I can see myself using throughout summer.

The last couple of months have been a stressful time for me. As a result, I have been breaking out more and more in specific areas: nose and chin. These are the worst areas for me. In order to calm the redness, I purchased my third favourite of the week. The Bodyshop Tea Tree Oil has done wonders from reducing these horrible red spots that appear out of nowhere! I use a cotton bud or Q-Tip and apply 2 drops to the end of it. Then, I apply directly to the spot/s rather then all over my face. It dehydrates the spot and reduces inflammation. I thought £7 for alittle bottle of oil was expensive  - but actually I can see it lasting forever. It's also great for mixing with your daily shampoo if you're suffering from dandruff. Mutli-use product!!!

What you are been enjoying this week? Beauty or Non Beauty Favourites???

Aussie Mega Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Working on a tight budget for the passed acouple of months hasn't been as bad as I thought it would. Though, I keep seeing dealing on Feelunique.com for premium brands and I'm using all my will power not to indulge. I've been spending less time online and more time back in the shops looking for deals so I can stick to my monthly budget.



Kudos to Superdrug for the deals recently! I picked up these Aussie products for around a fiver which I thought was a super bargain.

This stuff is awesome! That's all you need to know. Take my word for it!

I've had these products for almost 3 weeks and I'm extremely impressed with how well they have worked with my hair. It does exactly what it says on the bottle. They aimed to break down product build up and throughly cleanse you hair, scalp - the full monty in one wash. Yes, it's clarifying enough to do so. It turns knotty, tried up hair into smooth and glossy locks. It gets it squeaky clean with drying it out.

Best results for hair after a night out - gets all that grubby feeling hair spray out!!

It smells great too. It has a strong, sweet fruity smell that becomes addictive after awhile. It reminds me of that smell when you first open a packet of Haribo. Ah Ma Zing!

Both the shampoo and conditioner are quite quick so you do not need to be too generous with the quantity (will also make it last longer) :P

There's no doubt that I would recommend this to all my friends and family. I've used this every other day on my hair and it's given it some life again!


Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Original Lip Balm



I picked this little beauty up at Leeds/ Bradford Airport just before my break away to France. To be honest, I didn't particularly look at what other brands were in front of me at the time, I just picked the cheapest one up. 

By far, this has become my favourite lip balm of all time and I prefer to wear this than any other lip product at the moment. Why? Because it's so nourishing that it left my lips really soft and subtle. 
Safe to say, with the help of good o' Vitamin E, it definitely moisutrisers to the max helping to prevent dry, chapped lips. The cocoa butter formula soothes and softens lips, and helps to protect and hydrate. 

Excellent handy size to carry about in your handbag and with it's added SPF 15 makes it beneficial to wear in sunlight to protect you lips from harmful rays. It smells gorgeous and is actually helping my chocolate craving somewhat!! 

For £1.26 on offer at Superdrug you cannot go wrong. I am going to continue using this right through the year as we will be heading to Autumn in the next few months. I must recommend to everyone!

Give it a try! Have you used any other products from the Palmers Range?
