I didn't have tons of favourites last month as I'd been far too busy to care about my appearance having had dealt with the stress of my exams and such. There are a few things I've been loving though so I thought I would do a post no matter how small! Apologies that this is a little overdue! I hope you enjoy it all the same!
♡ Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Scrub ♡
I owned this about a year ago and absolutely loved it. I purchased it again recently and I'm not too sure if they've changed the formula or not because it's not as great as I remember. I've still been using it though as it has helped prevent me from breaking out! It just isn't very exfoliating but I suppose that's ok for everyday use. ('Scuse the broken lid by the way.. My mum managed to drop it when she was rummaging through the toiletry cupboard).
♡ Dead Sea Spa Magik Mild Exfoliant ♡
I tend to use this once or twice a week when my face needs a good old scrub to get rid of dead skin cells. It's very gritty in texture and does an amazing job. As with any other exfoliating scrub the level of exfoliation depends on how much pressure is used when scrubbing your skin with it. I don't scrub too hard but apply enough pressure to make my skin silky smooth. Currently my favourite face scrub!
♡ Rimmel Pink Blush ♡
This is the perfect nude pink. I tend to wear a lipgloss on top of it as I love light pink glossy lips. I recommend pairing it with Rimmel's Vinyl Gloss in Be Famous. Those two pinks are a match made in heaven haha! This is my every-day lipstick at the moment. It applies enough colour without me looking over-done. Perfect for work and day-time wear.
♡ Rimmel- Kate Moss 110 ♡
I featured this lipstick in my "Summer Red" FOTD a little while ago. You can check it out here. I love how wearable this is for the summer months as it is a lovely bright red that doesn't look too vampy. It smells a bit like watermelon to me! Not actual watermelon.. but those artificial watermelon scents (at least I think it's watermelon haha). It's lovely, pigmented and matte. I haven't owned such a vibrant red in a while so I'm a little hooked on it at the moment!
♡ Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Gloss- Red ♡
Now, I'm sure that this lipgloss has a better name than just simple old "red" but I can't find it anywhere on the packaging. I've tried using good old Google but the results are a bit iffy so let's just call it the "red one" for now!
I was super surprised at how pigmented this lipgloss is. I initially bought it to make my Rimmel 110 lipstick (above) super glossy and to compliment it nicely. I ended up just wearing it on it's own as the colour is so rich, vibrant and glossy! It's not sticky either which is a great bonus. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good red gloss. I apply it lightly to get a subtle red tint on my lips. It's great for looks without much eye makeup as it adds that little pop of colour to your lips that pulls your whole look together.
♡ Johnson's Facial Wipes ♡
I love how gentle these wipes are on my skin. I was using Simple's so-called "sensitive" facial wipes for a while and they would just burn my face whenever I used them. I can't deny that it's not nice to use wipes that soothe my skin for once! These wipes are fragrant free so they're great for those of you with sensitive or acne-prone skin. This specific packet is for all skin types but they have a variety that you can select from if you want something aimed specifically at your skin type. I haven't experienced any breakouts or discomfort using these.. So two thumps up for Johnson's!
♡ Carmex Lip Balm ♡
I have an obsession with intensive lip moisturisers. This does a great job and sinks deep into my lips leaving them soft and supple. I love the minty tingly feeling it leaves behind too. It's pretty similar to most Blistex products if I'm honest! I absolutely love it.

That's all ladies! Have you got any monthly fave posts I could have a good read of? If so, please post their links below. I'd love to check them out! ♡
Ooh and I also joined bloglovin' a good few days ago now (I think it might actually have been a week or so ago). I would recommend it to any blog-lover. It's a great, convenient way for you to follow all of the blogs you love easily and keep track of new posts and things of the sort.

♡ Palmer's Cocoa Butter ♡
I love Palmer's Cocoa Butter range. This one has a bit of a funky smell to it I must admit.. I don't know if any of you have had henna patterns drawn on your hands but it smells a little bit like henna. It does work amazingly though and it leaves my skin soft and supple. Only negative comments I have are that the bottle is a little hard to work with as it's so hard to squeeze the butter out (so feeble!). I don't know if you can notice that big line running through the middle of the bottle.. yerp.. thats how much I've squeezed at it. The smell is also a little icky which is a bit disappointing as I love the original cocoa butter smell that makes Palmer's so popular. It definitely does what it says though and I am pleased with it.
I apply this to my entire body after I shower and use it on my face daily. It hasn't broken me out as I only use a very small amount. Overloading the product on your face will make it greasy- which could lead to super attractive spots protruding from all directions!
♡ Batiste Dry Shampoo- Cherry ♡
This is the first dry shampoo I've ever owned. I must say it has been very handy in sorting out my hair when I've been short of time for getting ready. It works wonderfully and deals with flat, greasy hair. I would recommend it to anyone! It doesn't really smell like cherries though. More like a bad deodorant... but hey it works so I don't really mind it!
♡ Essie Nail Polish- Cute as a Button ♡
This is the second Essie Polish I have ever owned. I bought Russian Roulette a few months ago and fell in love with the quality of it so when I saw this beautiful corally pink I knew I just had to get it. It is gorgeoussss and I've been wearing it loads recently. I love the glow it gives my hands and it'd be perfect with a lovely summer tan!
