Summer Favourites!

Hello ladies and gentlemen!!! I hope you have all been well!! Sorry I didn't really update last week, my boyfriend was on holiday so I was spending time with him! We had a lot of fun and went out a lot as the weather was so nice here, and went on a couple of bike rides, and even went to see a film (Inception, you can read the short review on my other blog). But this post isn't about that!! As you all know, its now September and for me, September is the begining of Autumn/Fall!! So I thought I best do a summary of what I have loved using over the summer since when the weather starts turning cold, I change to other stuff!

So lets start with Lush's Lip Scrub in Bubblegum:
Tastes so nommy
I LOVE this product, I use it twice a day, part of my morning and evening routine!! It smells and tastes divine and it is definately something I will be taking over into my Autumn/Winter regime!! I get a little bit of product onto my finger tip, then massage/scrub my lips all over and then lick it off and follow with lipbalm!! My friend steals a bit of this when I am with her as I carry it around in my handbag just incase I need a bit of scrub during the day!!

The Lipbalm I have been loving over the summer has been Nivea Sooth and Protect with SPF 12:
I love Nivea products (as you probably already know!) And I always use the lipbalms, I always have at least one on me at all times!! I chose this one this summer as I hadn't tried it before and the older yellow sun protect one didn't work as well as a normal one for me!! But this one is brilliant, totally makes my lips soft! And another thing I might be taking over to Autumn/Winter with me!!

I have been generally using a neutral lip colour this season, sticking to tinted lipbalms and lipglosses, maybe the occasional pink!! And my favourite this season has been GOSHs Soft 'n' Shine Lip Balm!
I have it in Perfect Plum as it is the colour of my lips but better!! Love this so much, totally going to invest in darker or redder shades for Winter of this!! And it does act as a lipbalm too!! I need to do swatches of this at some point, I love GOSH!!

The make up palette I have been going to all season has to be the NEXT palette I got for my birthday. I ADORE this palette so much!!
Its been a bit battered where it goes in my handbag
Ooooo colours of the neutral kind
I don't use the bronzer and haven't touched the lip glosses so much yet cause I been with the boyfie but the rest of it I USE PRACTICALLY EVERYDAY. If you see me with a black, white and grey eye, its from this palette. If you see me with a bronze or gold look FROM THIS PALETTE. The highlighter I use. THIS. PALETTE. If I ever lost this palette I would cry, it is my go to palette and it will be over winter as well!! Autumn will be full of bronzes and golds and oranges in my make up routine so bring it on palette!! I can forsee this running out T_T I want to stock up on them if I find them!!

Lastly, we have my go to moisturiser of the summer:

I have mentioned this in another post and its all I have been using all summer! Its light and takes no time at all to sink in and it has a slightly citrusy fragrance, which I LOVE as it does make me feel good :D Its nearly all used up so I can move on to my winter moisturiser happy when I finish this up!!

So that was my summer favourites, I hope this was insightful haha!! I would also like to take the time to say thank you for all the kind comments and encouragement on my other blog post, you guys made me feel like I can do it!! A big shout out goes to Helen at The Slimming Strategy who inspired me to do it!! Go say hello to her and encourage her too!! She deserves it!!

Okay thats all for now, see you tomorrow! (Or maybe later on today if I have time hur hur hur)

  1. I love these products! I'm a fan of neutral eyeshadows, as they match my complexion and eyes, but I haven't tried the lip scrub! That looks really nice!

  2. Love the products you've selected. But I'm most interested in the lip scrub. I didn't know there was such thing! I usually just scrub my lips my tooth brush. Is it edible ?! (cuz you said you lick it off)
