Apologies
again for being a little MIA lately and for uploading this post eight days into
the month. I really struggled this month, because there weren’t any products I’d
been using that were new or exciting – and my mind has totally been elsewhere. But
here are my monthly favourites...
I’ve
not bought new clothes in absolutely ages but I got this cute sheer blouse from Boohoo, when I was buying a couple of basic
bits. I absolutely love the style and the gold button detailing. It’s perfect
for work and keeps me cool, because it is so loose-fitted. Being that
chiffon-style material, a vest or cami top is needed underneath but the fit is
so flattering – exactly what I need at the moment!
There
are two Soap & Glory products I’ve
been using religiously, because my skin has become ridiculously dry, itchy and
flaky – these have both helped loads, to stop the irritation and keep my skin
soft/smooth. Step forward Orangeasm and
Sugar Crush. I definitely prefer the
citrus-scented S&G products, as the others seem to irritate my skin – and I
find these stronger scents last longer. I use the scrub once a week, sometimes
twice if needed; but the shower cream I use every day. I always receive a
little S&G haul at Christmas, so it’s great to have products like these in
reserve.
I’m
not totally sure where this Organic Rose
Oil by Viridian came from – but I am in love! I’m not usually one for
oil-based products, as find they leave my skin far too greasy, causing
breakouts. I’ve not been using this on my face (which is probably what it
should be used for), but instead, been using it as a massage oil every evening,
which has been hugely effective – before I sort my Palmer’s haul! Of course,
rose oil is great for dry skin to restore balance.
And
finally, I’m sure this product featured last year (or maybe even the year
before), but Perricone MD’s No-Foundation
Foundation Serum is without a doubt, one of the best products I’ve ever
used – hence why it’s a re-purchase! Not that we’ve been having hot/summer
weather lately, but I prefer to use this as a base during the summer months, as
opposed to a heavy foundation. My everyday foundation is one that I often build
upon, but this is so light and silky on the skin – you don’t need to layer it.
It’s great for creating natural looks, too.
What
were your July favourites?
Love,
Lucy xx
