I cannot believe we're already into June and I can't believe that I'm already writing my May favourites, this month has absolutely flown by which I think was helped by the fact I had my friends hen do to look forward too but this month has been an interesting between general life and pain flare ups so I feel like my favourites this month are more basic cause I've been keeping things a lot more simplified.
Garnier Vitamin C SPF
I was kindly sent along this Garnier Vitamin C SPF and I've been using this everyday to provide my skin some protection between my makeup and non-makeup days. It's got a gorgeous fresh scent to it and it doesn't leave any white cast on your skin once you've rubbed it in. I like how this SPF leaves my skin with a glow but also doesn't make my skin break out more than it normally does.
Temple Spa Glowcolic Toner
This Glowcolic toner from Temple Spa has been my go-to toner this month, I've really liked how it's helped with improving how my skin looks, it looks more healthy and has even helped to even out discolouration in my skin. It has such a lovely light citrus scent which is especially refreshing when you wake up in the morning cause I've been chronically exhausted this month.
Antipodes Baptise H20 Hydrating Water Gel
This hydrating moisturiser from Antipodes is perfect for the summer as it's really light weight whilst still being hydrating and giving your skin a gorgeous glow. The Baptise H20 Hydrating Water Gel is filled with hyaluronic acid, Manuka honey, and hibiscus as well as a lovely rose scent. I find this helps give you the glass skin look as my skin honestly looks incredible when I've used this in the morning and it works as a great base for my makeup (when I've got the energy to do it).
L'Occitane Immortelle Reset Eye Serum
I'm officially at the age where eye skincare products are really high on my list of priorities, thankfully I've been adding in this Overnight Reset eye serum from the Immortelle range into my day and night skincare routine and it's been a god send. It's filled with Immortelle oil extract bubbles that are suspended in the formula which then combines and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and nourished.
Dermalogica Pro-collagen Banking Serum
As someone with dry skin, this pro-collagen banking serum helps to leave my skin feeling hydrated. I've been using this at night but sometimes during the day when my skin feels especially dry or I'm going to be somewhere that leaves me feeling more dry. I find this serum works best for me in my evening skincare routine because I'm giving my skin time to rest and recover, I find that my skin looks more hydrated and plumper the next morning which in turns helps with my fine lines.
Laneige Mango Lip Sleeping Mask
I always have dry lips so I love using these Laneige lip sleeping masks either before bed or during the day when my lips are really dry. At the minute, my favourites have been the Mango one because it smells incredible and with the warm weather starting again in the UK, this scent is perfect for the warmer weather but I do love all the different scents I've tried from the so far. I find this mango sleeping mask helps to nourish whilst leaving a layer to protect my lips.
Huda Beauty Cherry Blossom Cake Powder
As you can already tell, I am very pale. This then leads to problems finding setting powder for my makeup and even translucent powder can sometimes make my skin look horribly darker and some can even turn my base looking more orange because of the tint to the powder (Laura Mercier I'm looking at you!). This cherry blossom pink powder from Huda Beauty is perfect for us pale skinned beauties because it helps set my under-eye and face and brightens it without changing the colour of my base. It's also a very lightweight powder.
Hourglass Vanish Concealer
I've been struggling at the minute to find a concealer that matches my skin tone perfectly, usually when they're pale enough to match my skin, they're the wrong tone or they're pale enough to brighten my under eyes but they aren't the right shade to spot conceal on my face. Thankfully I've found the Vanish Concealer in Creme which is the perfect shade for under my eyes and on my face as it's a fair concealer with cool undertone. I've currently got the miniature version of this concealer but once I've used through the smaller size and some of my other concealers, I'll be going back for the full size.
ARK Skincare Skin Protector Primer
So I've already done a review of the Skin Protector Primer on my blog so it's no surprise that this 3-in-1 primer is in my monthly favourites. This primer is a moisturiser, SPF and primer in one so it's perfect when I'm having a low spoons day or even underneath makeup. I really like how my makeup lies over the top of this primer and on my makeup free days, it leaves my skin with a gorgeous glow and it lays nicely with any skincare I use it with and my skincare doesn't pill with this.
The Essence Vault 27 Intense Perfume
This month, one of my go-to perfumes has been the 27 Intense from The Essence Vault which is inspired by Lady Million which is forever a perfume that reminds of being in my late teens/early 20's. Not only the memories but it also smells incredible and lasts all day on my skin/clothing. I love that The Essence Vault offer standard and intense version of some of their perfumes. You can get 30ml and 100ml version of 27 Intense, I've have the 100ml bottle for the last couple of months and I'm still not even 1/4 of the way through the bottle.
