♥ June Favourites ♥

June has been a pretty lucky month for me; there have been some ace magazine giveaways & whilst clearing out my bedroom I found a number of Body Shop Gift vouchers...

♥ Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub ♥

Having read about the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub on a number of blogs, whilst in Lush I couldn’t help myself but try one! I have to say, it’s a lovely product; it smells lush, looks pretty & it makes your lips feel super soft... this is definitely a hand-bag essentials girlies ♥

♥ Mac Studio Fix NC15 Foundation♥

Mac have a range of foundations - in my experience finding a foundation light enough in colour is a problem for a lot of people. The Mac NC15 is light in colour & gives an even coverage. It can bee applied using a brush, your fingers or a sponge. This foundation feels light upon your skin however, it can be applied in layers for a heavier coverage. It also contains SPF15, which is an added bonus, protecting your skin & helping it look lovely for longer.


♥ Body Shop Deo-Dry Deodorant ♥

The Body Shop have launched their own brand of deodorants - Deo-Dry. The range is free of aluminium salts. According to The Body Shop & other studies, aluminium is linked with an increase in the risk of breast cancer, Alzheimer's, brain disorders & respiratory problems. I have to say, I am extremely pleased with it’s performance. It’s long lasting, smells pleasant, doesn’t leave white marks & dries pretty quick.

♥ Jergens Naturals Skin Firming ♥

Curiosity got the better of me & so I decided whilst Jergens naturals were on offer to try the skin firming moisturiser... I’m unable to comment on its anti cellulite properties - some people say there is no such thing & others believe in these products... I’ve been applying it daily & I’m really pleased as it’s a lovely moisturising product. It’s suggested that regular massaging with any moisturiser will probably have a visible effect on the skin.

♥ Bilberry Colour Protect Detangler ♥

This soon to be discontinued spray leave in conditioner from the Body Shop is a must! It smells lovely & is light & refreshing. It left my hair feeling soft & de-frizzed.

I will defiantly be stocking up!

Which products are your June favourites? ♥

♥ Fergie ~ Outspoken ♥

I was lucky enough to sample this product & I have to say I really like this perfume... This scent is very sensual. The thing with perfumes is that they smell differently on different bodies. Personally, I find the fragrance warm enough for daytime, yet powerful enough for the evening. The scent is long lasting & I found that I did not have to re-apply it during the day...

The glamorous packaging is a must have for those of you who like your celebrity fragrances! Outspoken by Fergie, is exclusive to Avon...

Avon are offering a superb deal, available only through your Avon Representative... When you purchase the 50ml fragrance, you will also receive a free gift of: 75ml Body Spray & 150ml body lotion.

However, all 3 products are available individually online.

(information obtained via Avon)

Outspoken is the first fragrance developed in partnership with multi-platinum recording artist Fergie. Described as strong and outrageously bold, Outspoken is for the woman who needs no introduction. Fergie's personality is described as fearless, true to herself and her beliefs.

“I’m so excited to partner with Avon to develop my first-ever fragrance,” Fergie comments. “I’m always seeking out new ways to express myself, and fragrance is the perfect opportunity to share my originality and confidence with my fans, and the Avon consumer.”

The scent and packaging reflects Fergie's true nature, a combination of the edgy rock chick who is sexy and not afraid of being noticed and the belle of the ball who is traditionally feminine and mysterious. Not for the faint hearted, Outspoken is about being bold, sexy and uninhibited.

The fragrance is a highly contrasted scent with a raw edge to shock the senses. Intoxicating and sensual, Outspoken combines equal parts of independence, confidence and femininity. Bold top notes impart a mysterious sensation that scintillates the senses, while the fearless feminine heart is sharply contrasted with raw sexiness and a distinct masculine edge from the racy black leather. The floral, fruity fragrance speaks volumes.

The inspiration for the Outspoken bottle came from Fergie's wedding day; she recalls seeing a beautiful crystal decanter and wanted that classic elegant design to be reflected in her fragrance. The faceted diamond top is complimented by the seductive purple hue of the curved glass bottle; together symbolising the fragrance's confidence and femininity.

"I didn't want it to be so cutesy," Fergie said of the perfume which features starfruit, tuberose, jasmine, and passion flower with base notes of black leather and smoky vetiver.
