A Lockdown Round Up

I sat down to write a post about my Spring favourites, to realise that Spring ended on the 29th of March.. I'm sure I can't be the only person, who doesn't seem to follow what day it is, or in this case, the end and start of a season.. That being said we have been in lockdown since before the 29th of March, so I will let myself off this once. These are the products that I have loved using within the last 10 weeks. 

Dove Summer Glow

Admittedly, this has been a favourite of mine ever since I was in sixth form. Essentially, it is a tinted moisturiser, with glittery specs in it that smells like biscuits. Not the overly sweet biscuit smell that you get from some fake tanning mousses/creams. It is available in different shades depending on how much of a tan you wish to add. As we have been blessed with such glorious weather, I have been using this moisturiser to top up on my tan, and give myself a bit more of a bronze. The shade I have if for fair-medium skin, and I love the look that it leaves. One thing I would say, is to ensure that you wash your hands after applying and to make sure that everything is rubbed in properly. It can leave little patches on the skin if you're using the darker tinted version. 

Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food Range

As far as I am aware this is a newer range to Garnier? I could be wrong, but it is new to me. I have been using the papaya and coconut shampoo and conditioner the past couple of weeks and have loved the effect that it has had on my hair. Not only that, but it smells gorgeous when applying it. I'm not a fan of coconut at all really.. Whether it be eating it, or drinking coconut milk or water. It really isn't for me. However, I do love a chicken Korma or, when the smell is incorporated into products, these hair products being an example of that. I'm weird, I know. This range is lovely!

Rimmel London Lasting 25hr foundation

Admittedly, this has been a favourite of mine for years. I'm pretty sure that this foundation was one of the first I ever tried, but I am yet to find some that I enjoy just as much as this one. Having managed acquiring a lovely tanned forehead, I haven't been wearing much foundation at all for work, as the shade I have doesn't match my skin. I use half a pump, if that, and blend it over my skin, using my Becca bronzer to warm up the skin on my forehead and cheekbones. You really can't go wrong with this foundation. It lasts all day and looks so natural.
