My Summer Favourites ♥

Hey! I can't believe it's SEPTEMBER already, where is that year flying?! Anyway, I desided to do summer favourites instead of monthly favourites throughout the whole summer just because I thought it would be much easier and I thought that I won't discover many new and great products too. Turns out, I was wrong, as I was looking at my makeup desk searching for stuff that I have loved this summer and want to share with you I found out that there's quite a lot, it's gonna be a long one so let's go!

-Fragrance-

This is the Kate Moss wild Meadow and this is THE perfect summer scent, it's fresh, it stays on and it's not too strong. I am so critically low on that and even though it has been my favourite this summer, I won't be re buying it, I've got my eyes set on the Marc Jacobs Honey, it smells heavenly!

-Nails-

From nails I have two favouries, one being Wet 'n Wild Wild Shine in Blazed. This polish is amazing, I remember it being very cheap (probably got it on bargain) and now I can't remember where I got it, I'm desperate to find out because I need to try out more colours from this collection. The Blazed is a really lovely peachy coral tone and it actually makes my hands look a bit more tanned and the pigment is amazing too, you can really easily just get done with one coat. On my nails it looks like it's a gel paint but it's actually not, it just looks so good :)

The other one is Maybelline Colorama in 214, it doesn't have a name but if I would have to choose it, I would say mint green (how original I know) This is again very pigmented and just such a nice colour too, so why not to love it.

-Hair-

This summer I've been loving two hair products, one of them is Timotei shampoo, as much as I know about the marketing area, it's sold in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland so sorry if you want it but you can't have it because you will want it after reading this. I bought it in a need for small bottle for traveling and I grabbed the first one that I could find which was the Timotei. When I tried it I realised I bought something amazing. First of all when I usually wash every other day then with this shampoo I can literally get away with 3 days in a row not washing, plus it smells amazing. As the bottle says, it's the glorious Jericho Rose that makes it so good, don't know what to say about that but it sure works for me. Whn you use it with Timotei conditioner the results are even better. Hair looks so healthy and glossy. The range has shampoos for every hair type.

The other favourite is Macadamia natural oil No Tangle. Macadamia has been on a hype for the past months now and I desided to get myself one of their products too. The no tangle is working very well, the only thing I don't like is the application, I wish it was a spray bottle but it's kind of a creamy thing... I use it in towel dried hair, I put in in my palms and run it through the ends of my hair and it just kind of...works wonders

-Makeup-

I bought the Rimmel Wake me up foundation only a few weeks ago and it's already in my favourites, that's how amazing this product is, I also made a full review on that so if you want to read more of my opinion on that then click here.

Next is Accesorize lip gloss and I really think it's under-rated, I haven't heard anybody raving about it but I think it's amazing. It's super pigmented, it smells nice, it has a huge range of colours and the package is super cute, mine has kind of rubbed off already, you can see it's well loved haha.

And ofcourse I can't get past the Bourjois Color Boost lipstick. This has also been on hype and I can see why, it's super nice, it's like a sheer, glossy lipstick, there are I think four colours available right now, I have the Peach on the beach and it's the best summer colour. The lipstick is so easy to apply since it looks like a pencil and it also glides really easily. It says it lasts for 10 hours...I'm gonna have to disagree with that part, sorry Bourjois, but other than that, it's amazing, highly recommend them.

Another bourjois product in my favourites, it's the healthy mix concealer. I found it from my mum's drawer and turns out she doesn't use it anymore so I proudly named it mine. This is perfect if you're looking for a bit heavier cover up i.e. if you have quite dark undereye circles (like I do sadly) for that, a little bit goes a very long way so if you accidently use too much it looks cakey but if you know what you're doing, it's fab.

And then I ofcourse have my burt's bees, the best thing in the world if you have dry lips, it is an instant moisturiser and it also smells really good, I've got the mango butter. The myth is that when you have just applied it, your lips don't want to stay together, hmm...

Maybelline the Rocket volum' express is the best mascara I've ever tried, no doubt. It makes my lashes so much fuller and thicker and longer but at the same time doesn't feel too heavy. It also comes off really easily even though I have the waterproof version.

Lastly I have two brushes, one from H&M a foundation brush and the other is from Ecotools a concealer brush, both of them bought quite recently and I love them. I still want the Real Techniques brush kit but I no longer feel the need for expert face brush, woop.

-Skin-

Let's start off with my two Garniers, both have the sorbet consistency that Garnier is loving lately, one of them is Nordic Moisture Match moisturiser and the other one is after sun in pomegrant. I love garnier, too shame that they use a bit too much bad ingredients, a bit too chemical but other than that, I love these two.

The next one is Caribbean Breeze Aloe Burn Relief. This is amazing if you have been frying in the sun for way too long and you kinda look like boiled lobster. You have to keep it in the fridge so that if you're burned then you can put this ice cold gel on you and it feels amazing.

The Lush toner water is in my faves because it refreshes my skin after a day of wearing makeup and when my skin just feels so tired, it swipes away all those feelings.

Another Garnier, and I again made a full review on it over here.

And another thing that I have made a review about is The Body Shop hand cream, read just how amazing it is over here.

Lastly I have the Fruttini cooling body spray in lime mint. It is the perfect thing to carry around in your purse on a hot summer day. It's refreshing and it's small enough to carry around with you.  

And last but not least, here are my favourite songs of summer 2013. I just went through my playlist on my phone and some of them I don't listen anymore but I remember having them constantly on replay in the beginning of the summer :)
