Current Favourites | June 2017

I love reading favourite posts yet I am the worst at writing them. I wanted to do monthly favourites but I never stick to it so I just do favourites when I can. I have a few things at the moment that I'd like to share so I thought now is a god time to write about them.

I'm going to start with perfume as my first favourite as I am the worst at describing and writing about it. The perfume is Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue. I am awful at describing scents but it's quite floral, musty and sandy. It stays on for a long time and it smells really fresh. I suggest reading online or smelling it yourself to get a better grasp of it then I can give.

My next favourite is a product that I use every summer, the Garnier Summer Body Moisturizing Lotion for a gradual sun-kissed tan. I'm the type of person who is awful at applying fake tan and can't keep up with it, I only use it for special occasions. But with the Garnier gradual tan you apply it gradually, obviously, but even if you forget to apply constantly you don't get patchy. It leaves a subtle sun-kissed glow, as it states, and it's perfect for getting rid of paleness but looking ever so natural. It isn't dark at all and makes your skin look so healthy and toned. It's perfect for people like me who are ridiculously pale, and also awful at applying instant fake tan.

My last beauty favourite is the NYX Lip Lingerie in Ruffle Trim 04. I am obsessed with the Lip Lingerie collection, I literally want every single one, and I'm slowly adding to the collection. They're so versatile and I wear them casually almost everyday. They're the smoothest and most moisturizing matte lipsticks I've ever tried. This shade is quite pink with brown undertones.

In relation to my non beauty related favourites I've been loving the soundtrack to the musical Dear Evan Hansen, which is currently on Broadway. It's so upbeat and joyous I don't see how anyone could not enjoy it. My favourite songs are Waving Through a Window and Sincerely, Me. Check it out if you're into musicals and haven't heard this one yet, it's very modern with pop influences.
My current favourites to watch is Grimm, which is on Netflix, loosely based off the fairy tales of Grimm and mixed into a crime/detective series. It's sort of like criminal minds mixed with Supernatural, both shows in which I adore. I've only started season two but it's really interesting and makes me want to read the Grimm fairy tales.
