Summer Beauty Favourites

Hello hello hello! It’s that season again where I talk beauty favourites so lets start shall we?

Green people organic fruit scrub exfoliate

As summer is here an exfoliator is necessary to keep your skin looking fresh and smooth. I’ve been loving this organic one from Green People with its fresh citrus scent and gentle exfoliation. Its really effective at removing dead skin cells without completely stripping your face of its essential oils. Another big plus is that it’s organic and free from parabens, alcohol and other nasties so my skin is very happy!

This works Perfectlook skin miracle

As you can see this product has been used A LOT and I’ve got a lotta love for it. This instant tinted skin perfector hydrates and brightens your skin whilst giving you lots of vitamin goodies that your skin will thank you for. The tint gives you a subtle hint of a summer glow which is perfect for days when you don’t fancy heavy coverage. A touch of this and some bronzer is perfect for a summer no make-up make-up look!

Argan oil hydrating hair mask & Argan oil heat defence leave in spray

You may have seen my post on this hair mask earlier on in the summer. It really is the tits for giving you silky soft locks at a crazily cheap price of 99p! I was so impressed that I had to try the heat defence leave in spray too. It has that same lovely smell and does a great job of protecting my locks from being frazzled. Winner!

Body Shop Honey Bronze bronzing powder

No summer beauty favourites would be complete without a mention of some bronzer! This body shop honey bronzer is the perfect formula, being matte so no crazy shimmer going on bright sunny days (what are those again?) I also love the packaging and the design. I know it’s not an important factor but it is pretty. Ooh!

Body shop All-In-One Instablur

If you want a primer that’s value for money, keeping your make-up in place and makes your skin feel amazing- this is the one. I have been loving this for a good few months now and can safely say it does the job and bloody well too. With seriously oily skin that has a habit of letting my make-up slide off my face I was sceptical of the Instablur but it helps reduce shine whilst keeping my make-up firmly in place for a good 12 hours. At £14 I’d say it’s pretty damn reasonable and I’ll even say it’s as good as Clarins Beauty Flash Balm. Yup, I went there! 

So these are the products I'm loving for the summer months and feel really benefit skin and hair in the hotter weather! What are you loving?

Beauty Bargains: Argan Oil Hydrating Hair Mask

I haven't done a beauty bargain post since way back in November when I was raving about the Aldi Carino Hairspray but that can step aside, there's a new product in town. Meet the Argan Oil hydrating hair mask. 

I picked this up in my local Original Factory Shop when perusing for mundane crap. The £1 sticker smacked across it lured me in and I thought, why not? At £1 if it's rubbish you won't loose sleep about it. 

I was very pleasantly surprised when I came to use it. Firstly the smell is pretty lovely and the texture is super thick and creamy- perfect for smothering my ever thirsty locks. It says to leave in your hair 7-10 minutes before rinsing which I do, sometimes for longer and give it a good old comb through. After rinsing out it leaves my hair much more manageable and silky soft- even my split ends. The first time using it I half expected it to leave my hair feeling greasy but it's just the right amount of moisture. I bloody love this stuff and it's lovely scent lingers all day after washing- oooh yeeeah. 

So for £1 I really don't think you can go wrong. I'm using it every 7-10 days to give my hair little treat and I've certainly noticed a difference.
