Current Loves #2

Hello!
It's been less than a week since I did my last Current Loves, but I've got more things that I am obsessed with at the mo!
1- Gorgeous by Gok shower scrub
This is my favourite body scrub. Not only does this smell delicious, but it's also more of a shower gel, with some scrubby bits in it, as opposed to scrubs that are a thick, paste-like consistency. As this is pretty much a 2 in 1 shower gel/scrub product, it's alot easier and quicker than using two separate products. This is very gentle on my skin, can be used daily, and leaves my skin super smooth and lightly scented.

2- Revlon Colorstay 12hr eyeshadow in Neutral Khakis 
Now, I'm not going to lie, I'm still not an eyeshadow everyday kinda girl, but when I go out, or for special occasions, these are the eye shadows I tend to reach for. Although it looks like a really dark purple in this purple in this pic, they're actually all really wearable shades. The formula of these is great, they're easy to use and long lasting, but I'm not sure I've ever worn them for 12 hours!

3- Boots tea tree and witch hazel foaming face wash
I've already raved about this product here, so I wont talk about it too much, but I have recently repurchased it and am so glad to have it back! It's already made my skin quite alot better, and I just can't recommend it enough.

4- Real Techniques stippling brush
There's not too much to say about this, and everyone and their cats loves it, but I've been using it for my blusher recently and it's fab! I can be a bit heavy handed with blusher, but with this I never get that 'stripe of blusher' look, which is good!

5- Superdrug dry shampoo in Floating on a Breeze
This is amazing. Super cheap, quite often on offer, and the best dry shampoo I've ever tried! Nice scent, although the smell doesn't last long in your hair, which personally I think is a good thing as it doesn't interfere with any perfume.

What is everyone else loving at the moment? Any essentials that you've re-discovered due to the hot weather?
Thanks for reading! :)

Current Loves #1

Howdy! :)
One of my favourite things to read or watch on youtube is monthly faves, but I'm not organised enough to do them every month, and I'm also quite boring, and don't change the products I use very often! 
So, I thought I'd just do a 'current loves' post whenever I notice that I'm enjoying some different/new things :)
1 - Philosophy Snow Angel shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath.
This is just a mini that I bought from Boots at Christmas for about £7. When I first bought this, I wasn't very impressed, but I've tried it again recently, and fallen in love with it! I'm not going to even attempt to describe the scent- but it's very nice! Clean, soft and with hint of sweetness, this really does make you think of snow. I don't tend to use it as bubble bath, as the bubbles don't last long, or a shampoo, because I don't want it to strip my colour or anything, but as a shower gel it leaves your skin soft and lightly scented. 

2 - M&S Mood Rescue hand and nail cream
This hand cream has been fabulous for me recently. A few weeks ago I got quite bad eczema on my hands, and this is the only hand cream I can use that doesn't aggravate it. It's not very scented, sinks in relatively quickly and leaves my hands really soft :)

3 - Body Shop Chocomania lip butter
This isn't on the website, not sure why!
I've written about this already, so I won't go on about it too much! This is a lovely lip balm, the only one I'm using at the mo!

4 - Prada Candy perfume
My Dad bought me this for Christmas (naw!), and since then I've mainly kept it for special occasions. Recently, I've been wearing it most days, and It's reminded me how much I love it! With vanilla and caramel, this is pretty much sweetness in a bottle. The packaging is also beautiful! My Holy Grail perfume :)

5 - Collection lasting perfection concealer (light)
I've been using this every day for a while, and although I knew it was good, it was only when I tried a MAC concealer recently that I realised just how amazing this product is! So easy to blend in, doesn't crease, lasts all day, and all at such a bargainous price!

6 - Garnier Simple Essentials 2 in 1 makeup remover
This is one of the products that you have to shake up before you use, to mix the two liquids (makeup removing oil and cleansing water) together. This takes off even waterproof mascara so easily, without irritating the skin, or taking much effort. It leaves the eye area slightly greasy, but I'd prefer that to the stinging you get from some make up removers! 

Anyone have any favourite products at the mo? Are you stuck in a product rut like me, or do you change up what you use quite regularly?
Thanks for reading! :)
