August Favourites

Hi everyone!

Looks like summer has now come to an end in the UK which is very sad :( Hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as I have, even though I have mostly been working! Here is a quick post of my favourite products throughout August:

- Schwarzkopf Got2b Guardian Angel heat protection spray
- Lush Happy Blooming Luxury bath melt
- Collection 2000 Shimmer & Shade 3 Just Peachy! shimmering powder
- Primark Strawberry Bonbons scented candle
- Lush Bubblegum sugar lip scrub

Schwarzkopf Got2b Guardian Angel


For some time now I've been buying the Tresemme heat defence spray which was a really good size and had a really handy spray pump thing! Recently I've been wanting to try out some new products and move away from what I've always just been used to buying. I went into Boots and noticed that the Schwarzkopf Got2b Guardian Angel was on offer which was a total bonus for me because I love special offers :D haha. I think it was £2.09 when I bought it, I'm not sure how much it usually is but I thought that was a really good buy and it looked like quite a funky bottle! I don't actually have any other Schwarzkopf products apart from the 'Dust it' powder which I hardly every use. Anyway I love the smell of the guardian angel heat protection spray :) The nozzle isn't as good as the Tresemme one but it's not the worst. In terms of it actually doing what it's meant to, who knows? Actually my hair has been feeling softer than it did because I went for about 2 weeks without using any heat defence spray which I did feel really bad about!

Lush Happy Blooming Luxury bath melt

sorry it looks kinda messy, it has been in amongst other lush goodies :)

Oh my god. I absolutely love this product! It smells amazing and it turns the bath water pink! I got this in a gift box from people from work as a leaving present last summer, can you believe it! I wasn't much of a fan of taking baths, I've always preferred a shower but have been taking them quite often more recently to try and make myself feel tired before going to bed as I can never sleep. This has definately made me want to take baths more often :) I managed to break it into 3 parts, I'm assuming that's what the lines are for. It doesn't make the bath water bubbly, it just goes nice and pink :) So heavenly. I will definitely buy this some time. It is £3.75. Actually quite pricey in my opinion, glad I got it in a gift set :) but it's all used up now!

Collection 2000 shimmering powder


not the best photo I admit. the outside is much more pearly white and the flowers are peach pink - the largest one being lighter than the smaller one

This was one of my unplanned - impulse purchases this month. I was in my local Watt Brothers store buying dishwasher tablets cause they are very cheap in there ;) and noticed that they sold make up!! I actually had no idea they did that. I usually just run in and out again because it's always so busy. They had all sorts of make up by Rimmel, Collection 2000, Lancome, YSL, Calvin Klein, even Stila and others! Anyway back onto this product :) I was actually looking for a highlighter style product and thought I'd get this as it was only 99p! Total bargain! I use it to highlight my cheekbones and it looks so nice and fresh :) Definitely recommend it and even popping into your local Watt Brothers for make up! and sweets! haha.


Primark Strawberry Bonbons scented candle

So cute! you can tell I've used them

I should probably mention now that I have recently developed an obsession for candles. Again this is another impulse purchase of mine. I was in the queue in Primark and along the tills were these adorable candles for only £1! There was no way I was not going to buy one right? So i got two :) They smell really sweet but when they are burning there isn't much scent to them but I just light them for the atmosphere and they look really cute on my window sill. They have them in Vanilla flavour too for you vanilla lovers :)


Lush Bubblegum sugar lip scrub



I was watching a review of some products on youtube and the girl was talking about this lip scrub! Sorry I can't remember her name........ I always get dry / dead skin on my lips and have a habit of picking it and I'm so sick of not having nice smooth lips. I actually only bought this this week and it was a freaking £5.00! Don't know what I was thinking but I though oh what the hell I'll give it ago and it smelled amazing so I couldn't resist. Did I say it smells amazing? It actually TASTES amazing too! I cannot stop licking my lips while I'm using the stuff haha. It takes quite a while to use so it's not exactly the kind of thing you can just whip out your handbag and use while your're out and about. It's a little messy too so I definitely recommend doing it maybe first thing in the morning then again at night. Mmm so tasty think i might use some now :)


That's all for this month! Thank you for reading and speak to you soon! xx
