This month I have changed up my skin and make up routine big time! Some things, however, have remained the same and have been my favourites for a long time now. True to blogger style I have decided to put together my favourites for the month!
1.Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish; I probably don't really have to say much about this product, everyone has been raving about it and rightly so: it's amazing! My skin has never been this clear and unlike most cleansers it really hasn't dried my skin out! This has been a real blessing as most cleansers leave my skin dry and sore to the touch!
2.Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation; once again product that has probably been spoken about more times than it has been purchased! I first started using this foundation around January/February time and have not looked back, I think it's marvellous. However I will say that the lasting time of the foundation isn't the best so if you require a lot of coverage for the whole day do use a setting spray or powder. One more thing to add is that if you have very dry skin this might not be the best foundation for you, but I have heard that the Healthy Mix Serum is a great alternative and much more moisturising.
3. Johnsons Daily Essentials Refreshing Cleansing Wipes for Normal Skin; wow what a long name! These have become an absolute essential, due to the slightly oily liquid these wipes are soaked in they are great for taking off make up and even a mascara as stubborn as Benefit's They're Real! I usually remove my make up first with these then follow up with my Cleanse & Polish! They're a must have if you prefer to remove your make up with wipes rather than a bottle of cleanser.
4. MUA Heaven and Earth Palette; MAC quality for £4! That is all you really need to know! This palette of eyeshadows is a great dupe for the Urban Decay Naked Palette at a fraction of the price. These shadows last really well, obviously I still use a base such as the NARS Smudge Proof or a MAC paint pot, but they do last absolutely ages. Highly pigmented and reasonably easy to blend.
5. Freederm Oil Free Perfecting Moisturiser; it has been absolutely years, if I had to make a list of things I could not live without this would definitely be on it! This moisturiser has never caused me any problems with spots and acts as a great base for foundation, as I have quite dry skin. It is absolutely marvellous and a pleasure to use. It is not heavy so if you're used to a thick creamy moisturiser this might take time to get used to but you will certainly not look back! For those with sensitive or spot-prone or oily skin definitely give this a go, right now would be a great time as Boots are running a promotion of 2 for £7, and if you don't like it you can just give it to me!
6. Lolita Lempicka Eau du Parfum; I have saved the best till last! I discovered this perfume quite recently and totally accidentally! I came across it whilst trying to find Miss Dior Cherie in Debenhams. The pretty little bottle caught my eye and I'm glad it did! This beautiful smell is perfect for those girls looking for something a little bit more mature but yet still wanting to keep the sweet sugary smells. I absolutely love it. Only downfall of this perfume is that it is not as fresh as I would like for summer but then again I do like really light and fruity smells in the heat! I think this a great all year round perfume as it's not too light but yet not too mature and heavy!
