June Favourites



1. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Rebelle

This is more hydrating than the regular Rouge Coco line but it's more sheer as well. 
The colour does not translate the same on the lips as it looks on the stick -it's more 
pink/red than red. But the fact that it's sheer and a tad glossy makes it perfect for 
the summer time!
 
2. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Hair Treatment

I love this hair mask. It's affordable, smells great and does the trick of untangling
my unrully hair, leaving them soft and manageable.
 
3. Concentrated Reconstructing Serum by Algenist

I purchased an introduction kit by Algenist from my local Sephora that included a
face cream, an eye balm and a 15 ml bottle of the serum. Having tried all of them I
have to say the serum was my favourite by far. Light texture which still managed to
 moisturize my skin that I sometimes skipped adding moisturizer on top. I didn't see
any improvement on fine lines but that was probably because I only had a small bottle
and didn't use it long enough. If it weren't so expensive I'd definitely buy the full size.


4. Sun by Jil Sander

This is my go-to summer perfume. It's very light but still manages to leave an 
impression and it's perfect if like your perfumes to be discreet and not too overpowering. 
The notes in this one include iris, ylang-ylang, heliotrope, carnation, vanilla, while 
tonka, cedar and benzoin.


5. Kerastase Elixir Ultime

A hair serum that smells divine (though if you don't like heavily scented hair products 
this might not be for you) and has a sleek oily texture that you warm up between your 
fingers and then apply to the hair as a conditioning treatment. I have colour treated hair 
and this takes out the coarseness and makes them look healthy and shiny again.
