Things I've Been Loving in June

Thursday 3 July 2014




I'm sad to be saying goodbye to the month of June, being filled with life-long memories, laughter, smiles, ice-cream and one of my biggest dreams coming true meeting Mr Eiffel. Apart from all the exciting travelling one of the best thing's in June was seeing my brother for the first time in a long two years and finally getting a big bear hug! Since it was such a great month for me I thought I had better share with you my June favourites.

Let me just start of by telling you that I love tea (green tea to be specific) and I hate to go a day with out it! We stumbled across a tea shop whilst in Paris called Kusmi Tea (tea heaven) where we were given a sample of their BB Detox Tea. A "delicious blend of maté, green tea and rooibos, flavoured with a subtle hint of grapefruit" this tea not only tastes divine it gives off a delicious calming grapefruit scent, much needed on a 'go go go' holiday. Speaking of such a busy, fast paced holiday with late nights and to many early mornings my Clinique All About Eyes became my saviour for fighting off puffy dark under eyes. This product is a serious miracle worker 'kisses bottle' turning me from an exhausted, sleep-deprived girl to a fresh, bright eyed traveller ready for what the day has in store. Since there wasn't a lot of time to get ready in the mornings, I didn't always want to wear a full face of make-up. Benefit's Gimme Brow was my go to for a quick put together brow look yet still leaving behind natural looking brows. It has also become a staple in my more glamorous makeup looks to set and thicken my brows.

The month of June was nothing short of shopping, shopping and more shopping and I'm defiantly not complaining. My latest purchase is my Sass and Bide Sunglasses that I never want to take off (I would wear them indoors if it was acceptable.) I'd been searching for a pair of sleek black sunglasses with a touch of quirkiness which is exactly what these sunnies possess. My favourite beauty purchase this month is without a doubt Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation. I had very high expectations as it is such a highly spoken of product with quite a heavy price tag but I can confirm that this is worth every last cent. I have been neglecting my old favourites for this beauty as it provides such a light weight formula producing natural, fresh and flawless looking skin.

Although ending my travels in Europe was a sad affair I can't deny that I was looking forward to coming home meaning I got to see my man and catch up with my darling girlfriends. I love to take a good photo or two or three or fifty but feel as though they go to waste sometimes sitting on my phone or camera. My Fujifilm Instax Mini however is the solution to all my problems with these captured moments reminding me of just how blessed I am to have such inspiring, gorgeous and colourful people surrounding me everyday. I recently went to the movies with a group of friends to see 22 Jump Street and can we just take a moment to talk about how god damn handsome Channing Tatum is... but apart from the eye candy this is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while and I mean laugh out loud hilarious. If you haven't seen this already get to your local cinema and buy yourself a ticket it is a guaranteed laugh.
