Products I'm loving right now

Quick snippet into my lifersaver products of the minute:

Nivea Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes - I could not live without these and I buy two packs at a time. They are really gentle, I have quite sensitive skin and they work great for me as well as removing heavy duty makeup like a treat.

Bodyshop Amilka Leave-In Conditioner - I think I buy this because it smells of my childhood. I've bought it for years and it reminds me of long days by the pool and summer holidays with my family. I don't think it's a miracle product but it seems to keep my ends pretty healthy and helps to keep split ends at bay.

Bedhead Queen for a day Thickening Spray- My hair is naturally pretty thick, but this gives it quite a nice boost before hairdrying. I focus it on my roots then give the rest of my hair a quick spritz. Love the clean citrus smell too!

Garnier Skin Naturals Youthful Radiance Night Cream- I have previously ranted about the day cream version, wish I adore and will no doubt be repurchasing, but I have found that before bed I needed something a bit richer and sought out this baby. Its looovely. Smells like green tea and in the morning my skin is soft and rehydrated.

MAC Barestudy Paint pot- This is my favourite favourite item of makeup. It is a champagne coloured cream eyeshadow, and although it may sound very boring, it not only helps to brighten the eye area when used on it's own but as its so long lasting I use it as a primer under other eyeshadows to stop them creasing and add depth to the colour.

Benefit EyeBright- Again, another stealth product. It's just another highlighter but I love it! Under the brow bone and in the inner corners it really helps to lift the face and make eyes seem (surprise surprise) brighter, which is great for early mornings.

MAC Blush in Desert Rose- I feel this blush is greatly under-appreciated, living in the shadows  of Well Dressed, or Peachy Keen. It is a deep rose colour that mimics well the colour of naturally flushed cheeks. Perfect for summer fresh skin.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Spotlight Beige- Nudes are in for the summer and this one is a must. It's a browny-pink, and looks very natural but adds just enough colour to pull any look together.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Pink Blush- In contrast to the last colour, this is a bright baby pink, a barbie pink. A great pop of colour, and it adds a bit of holiday playfulness to any look.

What are you're favourite products for this month? :)

Freebies!

Just a quick post to inform you all that this months Glamour magazine is giving out 3 sample sized products from Benefit. Woohooooo!
- Bad Gal eyeliner
- It Stick
- Eye Bright Stick

Apparently the total retail value of them all is about £45, so get in there, as I can imagine stocks won't last very long.

 I picked up the Bad Gal eyeliner as picture, which is pretty good, quite smudgey so good for a smoked effect but maybe not so great if you're into precise lines. While purchasing this beaut I had the strength and will power to only buy one magazine, and receive only one freeby....however I think I am going to give in and go get another one...the eyebright... yes I am a weak human being. However I personally draw the line at buying all three...the third is a concealer anyway which probably won't suit my skin tone, or that is what I will try and tell myself when I am next at the newsagents. Saying this, considering they retail at £45 you could, possibly, maybe, justifying buying three identical magazines....so I say if you've got a pair then go for it!

More free goodies that are ongoing, and have been for awhile is with the purchase of two diet coke bottles you will receive a free bottle of Nails Inc polish, available at larger Boots. Most of you are probably aware of this one and if you're anything like me, you're fridge will already be stocked up with Diet coke (it looks like I am preparing for an ice age) but if not, I do believe that there are a few bottles still floating around and the polish itself is very good quality.  My favourite is London, a beautiful purple grey, it's the one on the left, but the photo doesn't do it justice, so here is what it looks like fo reall.

 

Really lovely colour. I also got the red, but seeing as it is a box standard cherry red I did not see it worthy of a swatch, however do not let that discourage you from getting it as it is a lovely staple to the collection and a really nice colour for summer.
