My June Favourites



Hi guys!

Where has June gone?? This month has come and gone so fast. Anyway, it's time to do my June favourites! I enjoyed some new products this month. I've decided to also include music and people favourites to the whole bunch.

So let's get started.




Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
why is the picture yellow? I have no idea. I'm not super familiar with make up sponges, but I decided to pick this one up when I found out that the Cover Girl 3 in 1 foundation applied so much better with a damp sponge. This sponge is super inexpensive, and I especially love that it has a pointed tip which is great for concealing and the shape makes it easy to get into more difficult areas such as, the sides of the nose. This is a great sponge to pick up If you're new to sponges like me, it leaves a super natural finish, blends founation and concealer beautifully and its easy to clean as well. I have not personally used the beauty blender but I've heard that a lot of people prefer this real techniques sponge over the beauty blender.



Shiseido Ibuki Purifying Facial Cleanser
My mom is a huge fan of Shiseido facial cleansers, so when she brought this one home, I didn't hesitate to try it out. It has a thick creamy consistancy and when you add water to it, it foams up. It cleans super well, and is definitely a more luxurious cleanser. It also has a really pleasant smell. I like to wash my face with this twice after removing my makeup to really get rid of the make up, dirt and oil that accumulated throughout the day. I also found that by cleansing my face twice has improved my skin a lot.



Target Exfoliating Loofa
Words can not describe how in love I am with this loofa. Plus, it's not just a normal loofa, it's an EXFOLIATING loofa. I feel like this loofa has helped my body wash work so much better. I can not shower without this loofa, it does a really good job removing dead skin cells, leaving my skin soft, smooth and clean. Plus it's super inexpensive!


Bath & Body Works Island White Pineapple Hand Sanitizer
I picked this up because I work in retail so its just nice to always have hand sanitizer handy. I am personally not a fan of a lot of the hand sanitizer scents they have at Bath & Body Works. This one however, I really Like. So much so, that I went back and bought 7.



The Fault in Our Stars (Film)
I read the book last summer so I was incredibly stoked when I heard they were making a movie. This movie is perfection. I think it remained faithful to the book which I really appreciate. Ultimately, I really enjoyed this movie and I can't wait until it comes out onto DVD so I can buy it and then watch it over and over again. TEEHEE. (Picture courtesy of Google).


X - Ed Sheeran (Album)
I have been Ed Sheeran crazy this month. There are so many songs I love from his new album. Some of my favourites are Sing, Don't, Thinking out Loud, Afire Love and I See Fire. (Picture courtesy of Google).

All of The Stars- Ed Sheeran
Surprise, surprise! More Ed Sheeran. This became my favourite song after hearing Ed Sheeran perform it with Christina Grimmie on The Voice. Then I got super excited when I found out it was written for The Fault in Our Stars. I have been playing this song on repeat alongside other Ed Sheeran songs on his new album. So definitely a favourite!

And lastly, my favourite person of the month is...


Makeupbymandy24
You guys probably all know her, she's a 14 year old beauty guru on YouTube. I really enjoy her fashion, outfit videos and when I first discovered her, I couldn't believe she was only 14. She has already accomplished so much at her age so it's very inspiring to watch her grow even more. (Picture courtesy of Google).

And those are my June Favourites! What did you guys enjoy last month? Let me know in the comments below :)

Until next time.

Love,
Kristie

My May Favourites



Hi guys!

I'm going to do something a little different today. I have never done a favourites, but it seems simple enough, so I'd thought I'd give it a go and talk about what I have been loving during the month of May :)



1. COVER GIRL Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 foundation. I was super late to jump onto the bangwagon with this one. But better late than never right? This foundation is perfect for oily skin! It feels nice (not tacky, dries quickly), has a medium-full coverage, long lasting and still has a slight glow-y look while keeping almost all the oil at bay. When I wear this foundation, I don't even have to touch up throughout the day, it stays completely put. Love, love, love this!



2. L'OCCITANE Crème divine. I've mentioned this product in my "6 Products I Couldn't Live Without" tag and rightfully so. This moisturizer does everything it claims to do, my skin has not looked as good as it currently does since like....pre puberty. (TMI?). It's a thick cream so a little does go a long way, and it smells absolutely lovely. I know this moisturizer is a more luxurious and expensive choice but I highly reccomend it to those who are suffering from old acne scars, sun spots and uneven skin tone.

3. ELIZABETH & JAMES Nirvana White perfume. I have yet to buy the full size of this perfume (that's why there's no picture!), I'm still using the sample size I got from Sephora. But Holy moly! This stuff smells SO GOOD. It's a light floral scent that's sophisticated and girly at the same time. Some perfumes smell super chemically and gives me headaches, but this one does not! So I'd reccomend this one to those who are more sensitive to fragrances like I am because its not super pungent.



4. JOHNSONS' Extra Conditioning Shampoo. I know this is a baby shampoo but I think this shampoo works best on my hair. I have colour treated hair so it's super gentle and makes my hair feel super soft and healthy. I don't even have to use a conditioner afterwards because the shampoo itself is already super moisturizing.




5. REEBOK Skyscape shoes. These shoes are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. They're cute, stylish and perfect for everyday run-around activities. What I love using these shoes for though, is work. I can stand in these shoes forever and not have my feet hurt. Definitely a love for this month.

And those are my favourites for the month of May! I can't believe it's already June, time has definitely flown right by. Go enjoy the sun everyone, until next time :)

Love,
Kristie
