Summer Beauty Favourites
Hi guys,
I haven't done a monthly beauty favourites post for the past few months, so I thought I'd do a Summer Favourites instead.
Of course, I used a lot of products over the Summer but I've chosen six of my favourite, most used products that pretty much lived on my dressing table throughout my favourite season of the year.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream (£24.00)
I've wanted to treat myself to this for a while now and this Summer I finally did. It is formulated with moisturising squalane and water retaining imperata cylindrica to protect the skin through harsh weather conditions. My skin has felt amazing since I started using it, throughout the day it feels soft, smooth and super hydrated. And I'm confident my skin will be well looked after throughout Autumn & Winter, new favourite moisturiser over here!!
L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil* (£18.00)
I received this sample sized shower oil after the L'Occitane Bloggers Event I was invited to over the Summer. It smells SO good! It transforms into a lovely lather when in contact with water, which feels beautifully soft on the skin. It has that luxury feel of an expensive product! My skin feels really soft and hydrated after use, which is really important for me as I suffer with keratosis pilaris. It's quite expensive for a shower oil, so I'll be a bit gutted when it runs out, [which as you can see will be very soon, boo!] but it'll definitely be on my wish list!
Soap & Glory Glow Job Sunkissed Tinted Morning Moisture Flash (£11.00)
That's a mouth full! Ohhhhhh wait!!...
They've done that on purpose surely?? Given it that name, for that very response full of innuendo!! Anyway, moving on. I've shouted about this stuff before, but I couldn't not mention it in my Summer favourites as it has been a big fave of mine this Summer. So, Glow Job is a wash off face self tan, mixed with moisturiser. It has cheeky little magic bronzeburst beads, that burst upon skin contact releasing a subtle but buildable colour, leaving a lovely sun kissed glow, which has been perfect over the Summer months. It also includes youth enhancing raspberry stem cells which boost elasticity and skin toning vitamin e, which makes it a pretty amazing product!
Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes Eye Contour Kit (£25.50)
Another product I've mentioned before, but it has been my go-to palette a lot this Summer. It contains Boi-ing industrial strength concealer, alabaster pink base shadow, cocoa shimmer contour shadow and rich chocolate brown liner shadow, as well as a couple of brushes. I'm not sure it's worth the price tag for what it is, BUT it's a pretty good eyeshadow kit to reach for. The shadows are beautifully blendable and used together makes a really lovely eye makeup look. I've used it throughout for the Summer for an everyday eye look and also used it on my friends a few times on nights out.
Essie Nail Colour in Sand Tropez (£7.99/Superdrug)
I'm a big nude nail fan all year round, but this soft, sandy beige shade has been a favourite throughout the Summer. It's probably the name that draws me to it during the Summer months but it's such a good clean colour that goes well with any outfit day or night. I've painted my nails with this a couple of times lately as it's such a complimentary colour.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant (£27.00/Boots full size)
I received this small sample a while ago in a beauty box and I've been using this on my lips as part of my evening skin routine every night throughout the Summer. It has kept my lips feeling soft, smooth and hydrated through the warm nights and I'll be happy to continue using it all year round. I'm not sure I could justify purchasing a full size when I'm on empty though, I'll have to hunt down another sample size!
What beauty products have you been loving using this Summer?

Love all of these beauty favourites Lianne! I really want to try the Kiehl's moisturiser now, as I'm trying to use more natural skincare brands
ReplyDeletewww.radhikarecommends.com
It's really lovely to use!! :)
DeleteLove your product pics, shows how well loved these products are..
ReplyDeleteI find it can be difficult to do these kind of posts and get decent pictures with half used products, but thats what its all about right? :)
DeleteSuch lovely products! I can see how much you love the shower oil, how awful it'll be when it finishes! I'm curious about Elizabeth Arden products as i've heard so much but the price always put's me off..
ReplyDeleteIt's almost all gone, I'm gutted :)
DeleteThe Essie polish in Sand Tropez is one of my favourites too. It's lasts for days without chipping!

DeleteNever used any of these, but I do love soap and glory. Even just for the sexual innuendos! Xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha they get better dont they? :)

ReplyDeleteI too have the Benefit eyes set, the L'Occitaine shower oil AND Essie Sand Tropez is my fave colour...having said that, I can't remember the last time I painted my nails, wore make up or showered without a toddler at my feet (L'Occitaine is for solo showers only!)

DeleteLoved this! I need some new moisturiser, so I'm definitely going to try out the Kiehl's. Essie is my very favourite nail polish brand, too. I had a similar colour a couple of years back but it was limited edition. #justanotherlinky
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing day cream!
DeleteLaughing out loud at the name glow job - it would make me pick it up though
