♥ 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!

Mother Nature provides most of the tools they need to produce the beeswax, such as the tree bark they use to build hives for the bees.

Green is not a colour, it’s a state of mind:

Whilst once again sorting through my life, I stumbled upon a couple of BodyShop gift-cards...

As with most things, I had forgotten about them & so I decided to pop into my local store & make an enquiry about their balance... well, all I can say is that I’m a very lucky Pixee.

Whilst I was having a browse, I found this rather lovely bag which reads: 'green isn’t a colour, It’s a state of mind’...

In addition to this, the tag reads:

GREEN BAG

ORGANICALLY GROWN COTTON

This re-usuable bag is produced using organically grown cotton and without the harmful effects pesticides have on our environment. It’s community trade too, from Teddy Exports in India. As well as providing vital employment, they have also funded local health education programmes and built a school. Plus, we donate the profits from this bag to charities. And you thought it just carried your shopping!

I couldn’t help myself, I’m a sucker for ethical slogans!
