Lately I've Been Lovin' #4

Antatomicals Puffy The Eye Bag Slayer - I'm forever going on about how puffy my eyes are  so I decided to get a cooling eye mask. I havent used one of these bad boys in years but they really do work! I went for one without eye holes, the pressure against your eyes aswell as the coolin feeling from the gel really helps to make your eye area look a lot better. Even if you dont have puffy eyes but get tired, stingy eyes then this would be worth trying. The only bad thing is that you cant see at all and when I finally take the mask off I'm still blind for around 5 minutes because of the pressure being against my eyes. Definitely need to pick up another one with eye holes. Not only have I been using it for my eyes, I've been using it as a head mask. Might sound strange but I've been getting really bad headaches that last a full week or more each time. Putting the mask in the fridge for half an hour then strapping it to my head for a while helps loads.

The Happy Bee Company Fragrance Free Face Cream* - A while back on Twitter I was contacted by Sally who offered to send me some of her products. All products are hand-made in her workshop in Norfolk and are made from bees wax, propolis or honey from her own hives at the bottom of her garden. :) Fragrance Free Face Cream is for your face obviously but after dropping a blob on my arm I realised it works really well as a body cream too. If you're not the type of person who can be bothered with a million different creams then maybe give this a try as an all in one. Sally also makes candles, lipbalm, face masks and the cutest mini heart bath bombs. You can see everything here http://www.thehappybeecompany.co.uk/

Dior Lip Glow Colour Reviver Balm - I've been using this constantly over the last month or so. I've done a full review (link) At the time I said I more than likely wouldnt repurchase but the closer I get to finishing it the more I think I definitely will. Feels like a balm, adds just the right amount of colour, keeps your lips feeling nice, smells great and the packaging is cute.

REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash - Ohhhh Emmmm Geeeee! Definitely one of my all time favourite body washes! I love the packaging, the scent, how it foams up, how it leaves your skin feeling. The only thing I dont love is the price (£17) Luckily I got this in a trio from ASOS. You can see my post on it here.

YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat - This foundation was made for me! <3 You can read my rave review here. I just cant fault it, for me its one of the best, if not thee best foundations out there.

Chanel Illusion D'ombre in Emerveille - I love the colour, its so easy to wear and apply. I just smooth it over my eye lid and along my lower lash line and thats it. It looks lovely worn alone or as a base, just helps to brighten the eye area and makes you look more awake.

Another two favourites this month - Iced Cups & Rodial Candles :)

I had quite a lot of favourites this month but narrowed it down to just 6/8. Maybe the others will appear in next months post if I'm still loving them as much. What have you been reaching for the most this month?

    1. I'm not sure but I dont think so. They're retro chocolates lol they were around in the 80s/90s, certain websites and shops still sell them.

      I really love REN moisturisers, I think the one I'm using is called Hydra Calm Global Day Cream and the shower gels are lovely.

  4. I've been eying the Dior lip glows for so long but I can never justify buying a lip balm with such a hefty price tag...but now that I've read your review, I feel like I need it in my life haha Sephora here I come ;) And btw I totally agree on the YSL Teint Touche Eclat. It's a marvelous foundation, but I can't notice any "feature enhancing" or "illuminating" qualities...do you? xxx

    1. On the face I cant notice that its illuminated anything, it just makes my skin look really good but if you try it on the back of your hand (I know it sounds weird lol) you can see it has the same illuminating-ness as the pen version.

      Lip glow is so overpriced but its just so easy to wear.
