June/July favourites - part 2

On to part two of my June/July favourites! You can see why I've split this into two parts - that would've been one mega post had it been just one! No dilly-dallying at the start, let's get straight into the second part :)

1. The first item in part two is another nail related product. This time it's ORLY's Cutique which is a cuticle remover (and it's MAGICAL). Simply swipe on a small amount to the cuticles, leave for a minute, grab a cuticle pusher and (though this is kinda gross sounding) just scrape off those pesky bits of skin. Done!

 


2. Item number two is Witch's Anti-Blemish Skin Clearing Primer. I'm now on my second bottle of this and it's served me perfectly! It really has kept away any real spot break outs and is a staple in my daily makeup routine. I wouldn't put on foundation without it!

3. This is a very different item again and is actually a recipe! I tried this out a couple of days ago and boy, was the result good! Not trying to blow my own trumpet or anything but Delia Smith eat your heart out (on a side note - that woman is fantastic!). My family seemed to appreciate these vienesse whirls and my tummy certainly did too! If you want to try out the recipe yourself I'll put a link below!

4. Kind of sticking to the food theme, the next item is Actimel in Mango and Passion fruit. I've been guzzling down these little treats for months as I used to have stomach pains, especially after eating. They actually do seem to have worked too which is awesome!

5. Now we have arrived at my favourite favourite (if that makes sense..)! I've smelt Lancome's La Vie Est Belle perfume sooo many times but never gone ahead due to how expensive it is but decided to finally treat myself to it this week! Boy oh boy is this perfume to die for! Just the bottle design screams "classy" and the perfume lasts and lasts (with the tiniest amount too!). Obviously people's tastes in perfumes differ hugely but for me, this is probably my favourite, or joint favourite at least!

I mean look at that bottle! So pretty!

6. Another perfume now and whilst number 5 is a very classy perfume that is best reserved for evenings and nights I would say, this is an absolutely perfect summers day scent! Diesel's Fuel For Life Femme is another of my all time favourites and all I can think about when I wear it is summer for some reason! That's also a big plus when you live in a place that suffers from very little real summer (darn you, England!). 

7. Another perfume has crept onto the list! Vera Wang's Pink Princess has been my go-to for everyday wear and I adore the scent (and the bottle!). However, as this is an eau de toilette it struggles hugely with staying power. A real shame, too as this would probably knock La Vie Est Belle off the top spot!

8. The final of my June/July favourites is actually a band! Imagine Dragons have caught my attention in the last month or two and I've really been enjoying their music! If you haven't heard them, check them out on YouTube or Spotify!
