My Summer Beauty Essentials │ lipsticksandlevis

Hi !! So, as it has been starting to warm up a bit here in England over the last couple of weeks, I have decided to do some more summery blog posts, because summer makes me happy! So here I am going to write about a few products that I cannot live without during the hotter summer months! In summer I tend to get even drier skin, lips, hair, EVERYTHING! So my summer essentials are basically to help combat this 'dryness'.


First one is the Vitamin E Moisture Cream from The Body Shop. I love how much it hydrates my skin especially in Summer, and you really do not need much to give your skin the moisture it needs, which is a bonus because you don't need to repurchase as much! I like how it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. It doesn't really have a scent which is handy because you don't want to go around all day with your face smelling a bit funky! Another bonus is the fact that it is not tested on animals, which is what The Body Shop is famous for! In summer, this goes almost everywhere with me, I love it that much! You can find it - HERE - for £4.00 (15ml) or £10.00 (50ml). There are three variations of this cream available too : a nourishing night cream, intense moisture cream and illuminating moisture cream.


Next is a lip scrub from Lush. Walking into a Lush shop is just heavenly, it smells so good! If you have never been to a Lush store, you NEED to go, although it may hurt your bank account a little bit! It always does mine. This lip scrub is so good, its basically sugar. You just rub it on your lips and then you can lick off the excess and it tastes amazingly good! It leaves your lips feeling so soft. You can buy it - HERE - it costs £5.25 for a 25g pot, but it will honestly last you ages and ages! These are also other flavours : Mint Julips and Popcorn.


Next is the Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with pomegranate oil. This is honestly my favourite lip balm that I have owned, I love it and it never leaves my side! It does exactly what it says on the tube, which is why I love it so much. Soothes, Nourishes and Hydrates. There honestly is nothing more I can say about this apart from 'It's amazing!'. You can buy it - HERE - it costs £3.69. It is available in 6 other 'flavours' : pink grapefruit, kokum butter, original, honey, mango butter and acai berry.


Next is the Climate Control Serum by Lee Stafford. I have had this for a while but have only recently started to use it and I can honestly say that after using it just once I noticed the difference it made to my hair! I have quite damaged hair and I am always trying so hard to 'repair' it. I used to bleach my hair blonde regularly for 3 - 4 years and if I'm honest I did used to be very lazy with taking hair of my hair. Because of dyeing my hair blonde for so long and not taking proper care of it, I am still trying to nurse it back to health now. When I used to dye my hair blonde, it used to be very dry and brittle and the ends used to snap off regularly and I am now still left with short, 'whispy' bits of hair that tend to stick out! This is what this serum helps with, the frizzy, 'whispy' bits of hair and it realy does help! Also, the smell is just amazing, one of my favourite scents. All Lee Stafford products smell amazing! I don't think this product is available anymore, I'm not sure but I can't find it anywhere.. But if it isn't available anymore, I will be very upset because I won't be able to repurchase. :( 


Finally is this Sea Salt Texturising Spray by Toni & Guy. I love this A LOT. I use it to give a bit of extra volume and texture at my roots and on the ends of my hair to give a beachy effect, which I love, especially in summer! I also love the smell of this spray, I really don't know what it smells of and most people will probably hate it, but I LOVE IT. You can get it - HERE - it costs £2.19 (75ml) or £7.19 (200ml). 

So, that is it for my Summer essentials! Keep tuned for more summer themed blog posts coming very soon!
