NEW LOOK CARDHOLDER / COIN PURSE

❤️  (New Look Card Holder / Coin Purse - HERE)  ❤️

I came across this cute little pastel pink purse for only £3.99! It features 2 separate card holders, (that can each fit more than one card), and a fairly sized section for your money. It's the perfect size for when you don't need all of the contents of your regular purse, or even when you don't want to take a bag this will be easy to carry / fit into your pocket. It is also available in a variety of different colours including : black, rose-gold, metal, khaki and yellow.

SKINCARE ROUTINE

I have been using ENVIRON skincare products since last April when I had attended a skin consultation with an ENVIRON specialist, where my skin was closely assessed and products were recommended for me that would have a longterm positive impact. The products recommended for me have all worked together to improve my skin insuring it's as healthy and well-nourished as possible, and I have repurchased each product multiple times and will continue to do so. I am pleased with the skincare routine that I consistently stick too. and want to share my experiences and thoughts on these lovely products with you all today, as ENVIRON is not widely advertised and I rarely hear it being spoken of.

❤️  (ENVIRON Sebuwash - HERE)  ❤️

AM : I squeeze a 10 pence amount of the product onto two cotton pads and gently massage onto my face that has been lightly splashed with warm water, followed by patting my skin dry with a clean towel.

PM : I use a total of 6 cotton wool pads to remove my makeup completely, 3 contain a 10 pence amount of Sebuwash which is spread onto the remaining 3 cotton pads, as I use 2 at a time. Again, I firstly make sure to splash my face with warm water as the cleanser foams nicely using this method. I then dry my face with a clean towel and dispose of the cotton wool pads.

❤️  (ENVIRON Sebumasque - HERE )  ❤️

PM : 2-3 times a week I apply Sebumasque evenly over my face for 10-20 minutes. Following this I remove the mask with warm water and a cotton wool pad of Sebuwash before continuing on with the rest of my skin care routine.

❤️  (ENVIRON Sebutone - HERE)  ❤️

AM / PM : After I have cleansed my skin I pour 3-4 drops of Sebutone onto a cotton pad before applying it to my face avoiding my eye area.

❤️  (ENVIRON AVST 4 - HERE )  ❤️

AM/PM : After toning, I use 2 pumps of my AVST 4 Moisturiser to my face and neck to hydrate and nourish my skin.

❤️  (CARMEX Lip Balm - HERE  )  ❤️

PM : After I have moisturised my skin I apply a light coat of CARMEX to my lips and eyelashes to encourage them to grow and stay healthy.

JUNE FAVOURITES

This month I have been loving a variety of different beauty products ( shown above) that I would like to share with you all. I am hoping to be posting much more frequently and get my blog regularly updated now that I have left school, finished my exams and most importantly fixed my laptop!

❤️  ( CHANEL COCO MADEMOISELLE 50ml - £54.50 HERE )  ❤️ 

My parents kindly bought me my first bottle of CHANEL from the Duty Free as they returned from their holiday at the end of May. I think it is such a lovely fragrance and I have been frequently wearing this beautiful scent throughout the month, although I am trying to save it for special occasions so it doesn't get wasted. I would definitely recommend purchasing a bottle if you want to treat yourself or it would even be a lovely gift to receive.

❤️  (OPI "Put it in Neutral"- £12.50 HERE )  ❤️

OPI nail polishes are all famously well made and easy to apply and this shade doesn't fail to comply with these facts and do the brand well-deserved justice. It's a lovely, wearable nude - pink and can be applied as a sheer shade with one initial coat or alternatively built up to achieve an opaque finish with 2-3 coats. I have found this to be long lasting and fairly chip-resistant for on average 5 days, which is fairly praise-able considering I didn't use a top coat.

❤️  ( 18" Full head Wildest Dreams Extensions - £47.99 HERE )  ❤️

I have wanted hair extensions for a while now not only for length but mainly for thickness. I bought myself these set of full head clip-in extensions about two weeks ago now and I really love them, they are fairly easy to fit and they don't cause too much discomfort throughout the day. I am so glad I purchased these especially at the amazing price of £47.99 for such high quality real hair! I will most likely have a review coming in the near future on them, but so far I will definitely be repurchasing a new pack when I need too and I would definitely recommend them too anyone thinking about getting affordable hair extensions.

❤️  (ENVIRON Sebumasque - HERE )  ❤️

I have been using Environ skin care products for over a year now and I literally swear by it to keep my skin looking healthy. I have had the "Sebumasque" for a good few months now and I apply it 2-3 times a week for about 15 minutes per time. This month I have had quite a few days where I have used this before applying my makeup ( even though it's recommended to use at night) and I feel like it has been my savour! Although it's slightly pricey you don't need a large amount per use and it's worth investing in staple products like this.

❤️  (Real Techniques Blush Brush - £9.99 HERE )  ❤️

❤️  ( Real Techniques Contour Brush - Core Collection £21.99 HERE )  ❤️

These two brushes have recently been a big part of my makeup routine as I have only just started properly contouring my face. I have been using the "Contour Brush" to apply my bronzer and do the majority of the blending, following that I use the "Blush Brush" to make sure everything is blended and there are no noticeable unflattering harsh lines visible. All of the Real Techniques brushes that I have tried, including these two, have all been of a consistently high quality therefore I would definitely recommend them, especially at such affordable prices! 

❤️  ( Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - £32.00 HERE )  ❤️

This month I have rekindled my love for this gorgeous palette! I have been using the shade "Silk Teddy" as my highlight colour for my brow bone and my tear duct and I really love the way it looks. I have also been using it all over my lid before adding "Push-Up" in my crease followed by "Sexspresso" to emphasise it. 

❤️  ( AVON Skin So Soft Satin Glow Daily Body Moisturiser - $10.00 HERE )  ❤️ 

Usually, gradual tanners tend to go streaky / patchy but this gives such a lovely even tan, I have completely used it all which is awful as it has been discontinued in the UK :(

♡ SMALL BOOTS HAUL ♡

( BOOTS )

On saturday I treated myself to a few beauty products as I had very kindly received a Boots Gift Card from my uncle and his lovely girlfriend who came to visit us. 

( Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash - BOOTS  )

( Soap & Glory Mist You Madly Mini Body Spray - BOOTS )

I have been lusting after the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash for quite some time now, I'm a massive fan of all of the Soap & Glory products that I have tried so far and I hope to try more in the future. I am specifically interested in the 'Sugar Crush' range as the scent is so delicious. All of Soap & Glory's products are well-known for their lovely packaging and clever names and I think that the 'Sugar Crush' line are all especially eye-catching. 

I have been inconsistently using Soap & Glory's Mist You Madly Body Spray for a few years now and I re-bought a bottle at the start of september so that I could take it to school daily. I have since used it all up and as I went to re-purchase it noticed that all of the skincare and beauty items were on a 3 for 2 offer at Boots. I decided to stock up and buy a back up because I go through each bottle of body spray in a matter of weeks. 

( Cotton Wool Double Faced Oval Pads - BOOTS )

Now cotton wool pads are an essential but I usually just go for the regular circular ones, but as I've been using them to remove my makeup and cleanse with Environ's Sebuwash I have been getting through on average 10 a day, which is a lot. I decided to try the larger oval pads to try and reduce the amount I am using, effectively not having to constantly buy so many. I have only used them once so far and 2 pads was more than enough to remove my entire face of makeup,including my eyes. These ones have 2 specifically designed surface's one is for cleansing, the other for removing nail polish and such, so they are not rough on your skin.

( Rimmel London Day 2 Night - BOOTS )

I know that this is by no mean's new on the market but I have wanted to try Rimmel's Day 2 Night Mascara ever since one of my friends with such lovely lashes used it years and years ago. I have been switching between 3 different mascaras for the past month or so and wasn't happy with how any of them made my lashes look, so I decided it was time to get a new one. I haven't used it much yet so hopefully there will be a review coming after I have properly tried it out, if anyone would like to hear my thoughts. One of the main things that attracted me to this mascara was the fact that you're basically getting 2-in-1, there is only one wand but there are two different thickness' you can choose from, as to if you want more product on your brush or less. I am very excited to start using this.

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

♡ MICELLAR WATER // GARNIER ♡

( Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - BOOTS / SUPERDRUG )

Cleansing waters have been massively raved about ever since the infamously hard to get your hands on BIODERMA, which has only recently been made widely available for people of the UK to purchase, came about on the scene. Those who tried it, loved it. Unfortunately I still haven't been able to try Bioderma but there has been a lot of drugstore dupes from brands such as GARNIER , L'OREAL and NIVEA.

A cleansing water is basically an easy, kind to your skin way to gently remove your makeup. You just need to apply a few drops of the product to a cotton pad and gently wipe around your face, eyes and lips. One of the main selling points to a micellar water is that it requires no rinsing at all. I find that a lot of make up wipes ( excluding SIMPLE ) leave my skin red and sore but when using the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water I didn't get any of that at all, my skin even felt softer and healthier. 

I have since used up the entire bottle and would most definitely purchase this again, but I am currently trying out a new skincare brand recommended by my beauty therapist during a skin consultation. I am sure I will be reviewing those products soon enough. Anyway, this is a really affordable, long lasting product that works flawlessly and overall I would highly recommend it. What do you think of Cleansing Waters?
