Lately I've Been Lovin' #13

You might notice a wee bit of a coconut theme in my favourites this month but as with everything, I'm always on the look out for more so if you have any coconutty suggestions, leave 'em below. :)

Yves Rocher Malaysian Coconut Eau De Toilette: What's not to love? It even looks like coconut milk in the glass bottle! I've already declared my love for this perfume but if you missed that post, you can find it here.

Palmers Strong Roots Spray & Repairing Conditioner: Both are from the coconut oil formula line and leave my hair smelling good enough to eat untill the next wash. The Strong Roots Spray will last a long time as you don't need to use much at all but I've already got my needy mitts on a back-up of the Repairing Conditioner. If you like the sound of these you can read my full review.

La Roche-Posay Serozinc: I have to be honest and say I still don't really 'get' what this does and I do still get the odd spot around my chin area so wouldn't recommend it to those wanting it solely as a spot fighter BUT it make's my skin feel incredibly clean and clear. I've heard that it's great for red, inflamed skin which is the main reason I bought it. I apply it to a cotton pad after cleansing and sweep it over my face avoiding the eye area and even though it leaves the skin feeling really clean, I never experience any tightness. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and although it doesn't make a difference in the spot department for me, I think it's helped clear up the tiny bumps I get along my cheekbones. Does anyone know what those bumps are?

Organic Surge Blissful Daily Moisturiser*: My skin drinks this stuff up like crazy. When you first apply it, it slips around the skin as if it's never going to sink in but it does within a matter of seconds. It helps my skin stay calm, doesn't bring out any hives which I almost always get and it acts as a great base for foundation.

YSL Touche Eclat: This has been a long time fave of mine but never really gets a mention in my monthly faves posts. Chances are if I'm wearing make up, I'm wearing this. I get a lot of darkness in the inner corners of my eyes and this magic pen just helps brighten everything up and makes me look more awake. I apply it over concealer though to lighten certain areas, never as a concealer on it's own.

Have you tried any of these products?

Obsessed: Yves Rocher Malaysian Coconut Eau De Toilette

 While in Paris I noticed a Yves Rocher store a few steps from my hotel but didn't venture in till the last day and honestly wasn't expecting anything to jump out at me. I was wrong. There was a stand filled with fragrances in different scents with matching body products - Organic Vanilla, Organic Raspberry, Yellow Peach, Blackberry, Wild Strawberry and of course, Malaysian Coconut. They were all gorgeous but I'm loyal to the coconut so that's what I stuck with. I had no idea Yves Rocher sold these types of fragrances and was worried they would only be available in France but nope, we can get them here in the UK too  :) I'm sure there was a honey one in store but I can't find it on the website.

It's a well known fact to everyone who knows me that I adore anything coconut scented. I buy EVERYTHING coconut-y but more often than not the scent comes across very synthetic or just doesn't smell like coconut at all once on my skin. Well, this didn't disappoint. It smells like the real deal! Imagine relaxing on a sun lounger with a coconut in one hand and a bounty in the other, coconut oil in your hair and sun cream all over your skin. It's gorgeous and creamy, definitely a Summer scent but I don't care, this babys gonna' see me through Winter. Can you tell I love it? It's so good that I'm kinda' feeling the need to buy all the other scents too.

This post is for all the coconut lovers who are on a never ending search for the perfect coconut scent. Call off the search, this is it.

Have you tried this or any other fragrances from Yves Rocher?
