Body Shop skin defence £16
When I saw this was going to be released it was around the time I was looking for a new moisturiser, especially one with a high SPF. Initially, my thought was either an SPF from a french brand or the Body Shop vitamin C moisturiser but when this came out I couldn't resist.
It has a light texture which Is great for summer as I find mattifying can be too dry and other moisturisers too thick. This essence that turns to a water provides a light texture and doesn't leave a white cast. It's SPF 50 pa++++ whilst also containing anti oxidants such as vitamin-C which provides a good all round protection. I recommend to anyone looking for a new SPF this summer: this is your match!
Superdrug Clearly Youthful Cream Cleanser and Serums
I first tried this range a while back when I bought the night serum and although I liked it I didn't really use it much until recently. After that, I used the cream cleanser, which if you've seen my review you probably know I liked it and I've been using it a lot, most nights in fact.
After liking the cleanser I decided to go back to the night serum but also try the day serum. The night serum boasts 2% salicylic acid, lactic acid, and tetra peptide. It does talk of other ingredients but most of that didn't really interest me. The day serum has less salicylic acid but has mattifying and hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. I've really come on board and introduced these serums into my daily routine and have seen a difference in my acne.
I recommend this range for anyone with acne or people below the age of 25 concerned about ageing

Sure Max Protection
I find a lot of deodorants irritate my skin but recently I've found the perfect remedy: dimethicone. Found in many skincare products and my under arms have been much less itchy with the added bonus of being an anti-perspiring and barely scented.
Plants and Fashion
An obvious pairing I swear.
Recently my favourite colour is khaki. I try and stay away from just buying clothes in one colour and try to get variation but I admit I've been buying rather a lot of khaki. This shirt is from Asos as I found it in the sale. The sale didn't have many other things I like but I am quite picky, Id rather buy very little then a lot that I don't wear or wear because I bought it even though I don't actually like it. The top was from topman, I decide Id go for this summery yellow as it thought It was a happy colour and went with a lot that I already own.
The plants are all from Tesco, ranging from £3 to £4 which is a bargain for succulents. It's nice to see succulents so available as I used to only be able to find them at Wilko and select garden centres. One tip with the aloe is to take out the baby plants and plant them in smaller plants else it will getter proper crowded. The smallest plant does not have a drain hole so I've been watering it really carefully. If you find you over water plants Id suggests you stay away from that one. Recently I've noticed they've changed the pots... which is rude.
Books
Stephen King: Finders keepers
I've read a couple Stephen King books before. His latest books are always easy to find at supermarket book sections so they're almost always an impulse buy, unregretfully. His books for me are always an easy read as they're interesting and unlike many books I find I can't often get the plot halfway through which makes them so exciting. Finders keepers is no exception. It's an immersive tale of a boy who finds a hidden stash of money and when the owner comes looking for it, it all kicks off. Really worth a read whether you're new to reading or not.
Caitlin Moran: Moranifesto
Caitlin Moran is funny and interesting and such a great writer. She writes for the Time's magazine but If you don't what to buy that then this will be a great read. It's a collection of all her brilliant articles from the last few years, ranging from funny to inspiring to serious to introspective to funny again. I couldn't read it faster. It covers topics such as life, politics, and popular culture. She,s someone I aspire to be and write like.
That's it for my June favourites. For July and august I'm sure to be basking in the sun (protected) and relaxing.
