As you will probably know by now, I am a huge lover of Lush products, and this month I've been using the Bubblegum Lip Scrub morning and night and my lips are no longer constantly chapped and sore! If you wear lipstick regularly, especially matte lipsticks, using a lip scrub ensures that your lipstick looks even and doesn't highlight cracked skin.
It's taken me a long time, but I think that I've found a foundation that is light enough for my skin tone, and it's the Lancome Teint Miracle. I love the dewy finish and it always makes my skin look bright and radiant, even when I've only had a couple of hours sleep the night before! I'd say its a light-medium coverage, and it balances my uneven skin tone really well, covering most of my redness, marks and scars without having to apply concealer too. It's more expensive than I would typically consider for a foundation, but it's certainly worth it for me to have a foundation that's somewhere near my ghostly skin tone. #palegirlproblems
Given how much I love Bourjois' aqua lipsticks, I decided to try the blush and I was not disappointed. The application is slightly tricky if you're used to using powder, but it blends into your skin for a really natural finish - I definitely recommend starting with a small amount and building up the colour. I love how long lasting it is and the shade range is gorgeous for summer; I think this coral colour would look so pretty with a tan.
Speaking of a tan, if you're trying to maintain a tan in summer, it's so important to keep your skin moisturised and hydrated, but the last thing you feel like doing on a hot summers evening is sitting around waiting for a heavy body butter or cream to soak in to your skin. The Body Sorbet's from The Body Shop are perfect for summer as they feel so light and absorb really quickly. I'm loving both the Strawberry and Virgin Mojito scents.
Although I am a lover of all things pink, surprisingly, I have very few pink nail varnishes! This one from Essie is the perfect colour for both fingers and toes, and as always the quality is amazing and lasts for a really long time. Definitely a staple for summer holidays.
Personally, I don't think you can beat Primark for statement jewellery, they always have a brilliant selection for even better prices, and especially for the holidays you can easily pick up a different statement piece for each outfit and not have to worry about it being ruined by suncream or bug spray. This pretty floral one was only £3, and it wasn't even reduced!
