3 Moisturisers You Need This Summer

LUSH British Nanny Facial Moisturiser SPF 30* �26.95

Packed full of natural oils such as almond, hibicus, coconut and jojoba so it contains Vitamin C and E which are skin-loving ingredients. The formula of this is really thick, I think it would suit dry skintypes best. I love that it has a high SPF. It has a strong sun cream scent so bare that in mind if you're not a fan of that smell. I really like this but the high price tag for such a small pot puts me of purchasing. 

Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Moisturiser �16.99

Applying Vitamin C can help brighten skin and prevent ageing. This moisturiser has UVA/UVB protection which help to fight the damaging effects of the sun. I love the refreshing orange scent this has and it leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. 

Simple illuminating Radiance Cream SPF 15 �7.99

Infused with multi-vitamins and light reflecting minerals. This instantly gives skin a radiant glow, it has tiny shimmer particles but it's really subtle and hardly noticeable. The moisturiser sinks into the skin really quickly and is the perfect primer for make up. 

Make sure you apply SPF first thing in the morning, but re-apply every few hours if outdoors. look for foundation with SPF if you didn't want to re-touch your moisturiser.

New Purely Pampering Range From Dove | Review

I'm all for more me-time. I like to dedicate Sunday evenings to some indulgent pampering. I spend the evening with my hair covered in conditioner, a cuppa tea and catch up on all the posts/Youtube videos from the week. Dove have recently launched a new Purely Pampering range which allows you to experience those me-time moments every single day.

The new good-enough-to-eat range consists of two delicious scents. Pistachio Cream with Magnolia; a sweet scent with a delicate hint of Magnolia. Definitely one for pistachio fans! The second is Coconut Milk and Jasmine Petals; another gorgeous scent that isn't over-powering.

Like with all Dove beauty products, not only is your skin wrapped is a delicious scent but skin is left nourished and feeling silky soft. Dove's unique DeepCare Complex is in each product. It's an infusion of skin-natural nutrients and rich essential oil for deep down nourishment. The whole range is a joy to use and they smell amazing. I strongly urge you give these a sniff next time you're in Boots.

The body lotions* retail for �3.99 and the body washes* are �2.99 each. I'm surprised these luxourious products are so affordable.Whether you're a morning or evening shower person, these products guarantee to add a bit of luxury to your routine!

A Lazy Girl's Guide To Moisturisng

I'm really lazy when it comes to moisturising. It's just so boring and such a faff. I've discovered some beauty products that make this part of your beauty regime so much more easier, who doesn't want that?

Soap & Glory Spray On Moisturising Mist in Flirtingo �6.50 

I think this is quite similar to the Vaseline Spray and Go. If you're a fan of the Soap and Glory body butters this is a great alternative for the summer months as it's not a heavy and is really quick and easy to apply. Simply spray over dry skin for a gorgeous scent that lingers on the skin all day.

LUSH Therapy Massage Bar �6.50

The concept behind this massage bar is simple, just rub it on bare skin. The heat created by this technique allows the oils to melt on contact. No greasiness and no mess. 'Therapy' is an aromatic mixture of cocoa and Shea butter. It's orange and lavender scent instantly puts me in a good mood and helps me relax. I love using this after a shower when my skin is squeaky clean. If I had a boyfriend I'd make him give me a massage with this bar everyday. Maybe that's why I'm single. 

Nivea In Shower Body Moisturiser in Nourishing Cocoa �3.56

Anything new from Nivea, I am going to try. I love the concept of this product, anything that makes Moisturising quicker is already in my good books. This is like a conditioner for your skin so you use it after cleansing and rinse it off. Skin is left silky smoothed and hydrated once stepping out of the shower. You can completely skip moisturiser with this product - extra ten minutes in bed, YES!  

Hope these highstreet products help you enjoy moisturising that little bit more. Does anyone else hate it?

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Vs other Tinted Moisturisers

As a far as tinted moisturisers go, I'm a fan. A simple combination of a skincare and make up product that is quick and easy to apply for those 'cba' days. This month see's the launch of the long awaited Skin Tint from Liz Earle. I was recently given the oppitunity to test it out; I wanted to compare it with other tinted moisturisers available on the market.

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint �21.00 (out 8th September)

First Impressions - I like the packaging, lovely product design but slightly smaller then I expected. I went for the lightest shade, which unfortunately is the wrong colour for me. However Liz Earle have a system put in place for these sort of dilemma's, with your online order you receive 3 samples of each shade so you can find your perfect colour - phew! The light formula blends easily into the skin and gives a nice velvet finish. The coverage is light so it doesn't cover my blemishes. A few bloggers have commented on it's smell. I would describe it as slightly artificial, it doesn't bother me and disappears once it's dried. I am in love with the finish it gives and cannot wait to see what make up product Liz Earle launches next - fingers crossed it's foundation!

MakeBelieve Glow Tinted Moisturiser �15.00 

Out of all three, this is the thickest tinted moisturiser. I feel it leaning slightly towards the 'foundation' section. The colour is a lot darker too as it's designed for fake tan wearers. The coverage is light so I need a bit of concealer to hid my imperfections. You can build up the coverage on this if you use a powder on top.  This would be ideal to take away on holiday, and it's really handy to have in the summer when your skin colour is changing. 

Living Nature Tinted Moisturiser �18.00

My Last product comes from Living Nature; a cosmetics company that specialises in creating product's made from 100% natural ingredients. This colour is perfect for me, it's lightweight formula absorbs nicely into the skin and  leaves my face looking fresh. Again the coverage is light. I love the product packaging and the modern looking tube it come's in. It contain's Manuka Honey to keep the skin nourished!

Does anyone else like to use a tinted moisturiser, or have you tried any of the product's above? x
