………………………………better late than never?

************************************************************************

I genuinely cannot believe how long it has been since I blogged so I am hoping this post is better than never! The last few weeks seen to have flown by so fast and been filled with both good and not so good experiences – from crippling back pain to sun filled evenings listen to my favourite band.  Anyway without further ado I shall share with you my June Fav’s.

Bioderma 

I genuinely don't think any self respecting blogger has not heard of this product and I would be surprised to find a person whom did not like this product. For me personally it is a miracle facial cleanser that is just perfect for my skin type (normal to combination) 
this is cleansing water that is colourless and odourless. It is a non detergent, non foaming, Soap free and has a neutral ph. essentially it is a makeup remover and cleansing solution. It is so gentle and soothing - I have been using it nonstop even on skin the was in the sun a little too long! I simply love this product and genuinely recommend everyone to try it! 

There is only one negative aspect to this product - it can be hard to purchase! I have bought it through both eBay and amazon.co.uk. I am constantly on the lookout or friends who may be travelling to France so they can get it for me. All in all it is worth the effort to get this product as it is a definite in my skin care routine. 
INFO 

Sche Vite

Recently I was on the search for a good long lasting top coat for my nails. I also wanted a fast drying top coat that was also hard wearing. In short this Product ticks all the boxes it is the perfect top coat for me.

The formula of this product is such that it is designed to penetrate the polish and transforms the combined polish and top coat to become one layer. It dries so fast it is almost impossible to smudge. It last so long - I think the longest I have worn it without chipping was 5 days ( it was an experiment to see how long it would last).

Once again I highly recommend this product to any one who loves to polish and go ! 

MAC Vanilla Pigment 

I was recommended this little pot of wonderful by a really helpful MAC make up artist.
MAC pigment is always a pleasure to use and this is no exception. It is a shimmer shade that acts as a highlighter as well as colour pop when built upon through a concentrated rich powder.

The vanilla shade is delicate enough to highlight areas such as the tear area of the eye, brow bone or even the high cheek area!
A multi purpose product that is great for any summer make up look !
Nivea a Kiss of Shimmer Radiant Lip Care SPF 10

I have used this product for years! It is one of those lip products that I use for an age then put aside only to return to use and wonder why I ever stopped using it!

NIVEA Lip Care Pearl & Shine with moisture store effect pampers your lips and enhances natural beauty of your lips with a sweet pearly shimmer. It's so natural with a hint of pink shimmer!
Contains natural ingredients like caring jojoba oil and shea butter the result of which can only be good for your lips. This little gem is so moisturising it feels so nice on my lips! It is also a great day wear lippy if your lips need a little pampering !
Gentle, moisturising and looks pretty - not bad for a cheap little lip product!

NAR Bronzer in Laguna 

Another extremely popular beauty product! I have really been enjoying using this product especially since the sunshine has been making an appearance as it gives me a lovely bronzed glow!

This bronzer by NARS is really easy to use. It is really fine defused powder that has speckles of gold shimmer running through it. It provides a great wash of colour that gives an even coverage and almost smooths out the skin! It is a natural shade that adds a subtle shimmer and is perfect for contouring and bronzing. A cult product for a reason - it's a good bronzer! 

 I love this bronzer so much it is almost gone !!

Disappointing Product 

Walla shampoo and conditioner 

I am always on the look out for a good shampoo and conditioner and in particular a duo that adds volume. I was hopeful when I came across these two products am was quick to purchase!

Unfortunately I won't be repurchasing. I found the shampoo to be average. It took a bit to lather up and I found it a little difficult to remove fully from my hair. The conditioner I felt added weight to my hair. Over all I experienced very little volume results. The smell was just typical shampoo smell that did my last . Over all this duo is simply average. My search for the next best volume cleansing duo continues! If you have any suggestions please leave a comment for me so I can try new shampoo and conditioner duo's

My Favourite Lip Products of the Moment

Lip products I <3 at the Mo!!!

At any one time I always have a variety if lip products on the go at the same time and always carry a few in my handbag. Staying true to my long standing motto big lashes, heels high and lips glossy

• Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector in Rose 

This is, in my opinion, one of the best lip products around at the moment. It is glossy and has a great shine but is no way sticky. The rose colour is delicate yet gives your lips a great pop of colour. I really do agree with all the hype that surrounds this product and look forward to treating myself to one of the other colours available apricot or nude shimmer.

• ·        Mac – Three Favourites at the minute.

1, Mac Lip Conditioner – I have included this in my recent favourites post. It is such a nice product. Its conditions your lips while adding a touch of colour. With a delicate smell and generous amount in the little pot this is an essential for lip products lovers

2, Mac Lip Crème sheen Glass in Kiss Me Softly – I got this lip glass as part of the recent MAC Holiday Collection. This is a lovely lightly coral colour crème sheen lip gloss. It can be teamed with any make up look and gives a plump and glossy finish to your lips. It adds to any chosen lip stick colour as a top coat or is perfect on its own. 

3, Mac Hey Sailor Lip Gloss in Nude – This little gem was part of the limited edition Hey Sailor Collection released last year. I was a big fan of this collection as all products released ranging from the bronzer to the lip glass were fabulous. This little lip gloss is the last of this collection I have left!! It is a nude gloss that just adds shimmer and gloss to lips. It is perfect for the natural look. I am using is sparingly at the minute as I know it will be hard to replace.

• ·        Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stain in shade 001 Honey Douce – This product was a chance buy. I was buying other Revlon products and there was a 3 for 2 offer so I picked up this product and how glad am I. This lip stain has a fabulous consistency as it glides on to deliver a matt finish. The colour I choose is a pink shade that gives a healthy colour to your lips and does have staying power. Again I would like to try another few shades of this product.

• ·        Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia- I had read and watched so many reviews of this product and I just had to rush out and try it for myself. I have to admit I do <3 it. As far as lip conditioners or nourishing products go you cannot get much better than this on price, quality or results. It is a cheap and cheerful lip conditioner that does leave your lip so soft and leaves a little light sheen. It tastes delicious, so much so that I am probably licking it off my lips only to reapply. Highly recommended. 

My favourite lip products tend to all follow the nude or pink shade range. The shades I use all depends on my make up trends at the time but I always have lippy with me. Have you tried any must have lip products? If so please leave your recommendations as I love to hear them.
