June Favourites

This June I've been loving a lot of things and I thought I'd share some of those things with you.
So I'll dive right in: 
Firstly, as a massive book addict, I've been loving two books this month. 
- Looking for Alaska by John Green
It's an very alternative story which I love. Personally, John Green isn't my favourite writer but I love this book so much, I could barely put it down. It has a great story line and very real characters. Love love loved it.

- Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover
This was a very very sweet love story with some incredibly different twists involved. It's not your regular love story which I like, it's not predictable. 
I defiently recommend this book.


Onto makeup, this month I've been loving a lot but two things I got new are some of my favourites.
- Rimmel stay matte powder. Honestly, I have no clue what I did before I got powder. If you have the issue of your foundation looking really oily, or your makeup coming off really quickly, get this. I got it in transparent and it sets my makeup really well. It's a must have!

- Real Techniques expert face brush. I've been looking for a good fondation brush for a long time, having used sponges for a long time. And now I've found one. This is a gorgeous brush, not much to say about it other than it's soft, a great shape and the bristles don't fall out.

Nail Varnish: I'm big on nail varnish, even though my finger nails are quite small. 
Kiko nail varnish is so lovely. I love it, and currently am wearing a purple on my toes!


Kind of related to make up but not really, Lip Care - I have really dry lips so am always looking for new things. 
- Blistex Intensive Moisturiser: this stuff is a life safer. It does what it says on the name, moisturises. It's so effective and I rarely have dry lips when I continue to use it regularly. Highly recommend to anyone who just doesn't find that Vaseline does the trick. 


Hair: my hair goes through a lot. I dye it, straighten it, curl it and don't get it cut very often. Recently I've been trying to limit my use of heat, but still continue to get highlights every 12 weeks or so. 
The shampoo and conditioner I use to keep my hair is good condition is:
- Aussie Colour Mate shampoo and conditioner in wild peach. It's amazing. It's keeps my colour intact for a long time and keeps my hair soft and smooth. It also smells divine. 

 Another thing I've been loving for hair - styling wise - is Schwarzkopf got2b beach matt texturising salt spray. My hair tends to be quite flat and I like texture and this works so well. I use and have used a lot of things on my hair, including hairspray and mousse. I've found this works really well with a bit of hair spray or mousse to keep the texture last for longer, but it's still great on its own. 



Now, for my fellow tea lovers, I present my absolute favourite tea. 
- Clipper's Pure Green tea with strawberry: yum yum yum. I love green tea, but the strawberry just makes it so much better. Not much I can say apart from its delicious and I also love the packaging!



Lastly, as exams have just been and my GCSE's are next year (terrified!) I've been loving the CGP revision guides. They explain everything really well and have good ways of remember things. Recommend these strongly!



So that's all the things I've been loving this month and I recommend them all strongly.
