Monthly favourites

 NARS Illuminator in Copacabana, Ciate paint pot in Bon Bon, MAC lipstick in Angel, Sanctuary moisture lotion.

Sorry for the rather sporadic posts recently, I've had a few tests for University so I've been concentrating on those. Unfortunately because of this I've not really been doing anything interesting or making any yummy food so you'll have to excuse the lack of lifestyle posts. I'm thinking of posting a few DIY's and recipes in the future which will be interesting as I am the least crafty person ever. However I bought a book about a year ago on all things crafty and to be honest I've only mustered the motivation to give it a try recently. 

These are just a few products I've been liking. I'm lying in the post title when I mention these are my monthly favourites, the Ciate nail polish is a recent acquisition because as you may (probably) or may not be aware, Marie Claire are giving them away free with purchase of their magazine.  The other products I am really liking this month are more summer products I think, especially the illuminator and the moisture lotion with SPF. Unfortunately summer has only made a fleeting appearance this year so whenever I wear them now I'll just have to pretend it's sunny and warm out. 

What are your favourite products of the month?

  6. Ahh I've got the Ciate polishes in Lilac Sherbet and Jellybean but managed to back away from BonBon, now I want it all over again! They're such fab quality nail polishes though, I may possibly even prefer them to Nails Inc (!) xxx

  10. My boyfriend grabbed me one of the Marie Claire magazines and I can't wait to try the Ciate nail polish when I get back to England. I would love to see a picture of you with the Nars multiple on, I have always been curious about them.

  12. i wish I were as brave as you when it comes to trying new products! Alas, I stick with the same old stuff! My favorite summer time product is my bronzer…I'm very pale and it helps to give me a little color! :)

  18. Hope the tests went well? Definitely wiser to concentrate on them than blogging! I didn't get the nail polish, I'm trying to cut down on buying magazines, I always end up spending a fortune on them every month! x x

  19. I love illuminators - sometimes my skin needs an extra kick!
