January Favourites

This months favourites have to do with summer and the lovely and amazing weather that's associated with this.

First of all I've been spending more time in the sun which means getting a tan. Sometimes I underestimate how strong the UVs are and end up little bit burnt and also vera gel has come in handy! It's cooling and soothes the redness but also helps to heal the burnt skin quicker by adding back the lost moisture. I've also love applying it just to cool down the skin when it's  really hot.

With extreme heat comes extreme sweating. That is never pretty. I recently picked up the Dove clinical protection anti perspirant deodorant stick. I don't classify myself as a heavy sweater but I was curious to see how well it would work. My body did feel cooler on the days when I used this and yes there as no sweating! It was comforting to know that my underarms weren't going to be pools of sweat.

I've also been loving the L'Oreal Casting Sunkissed Jelly. My hair naturally goes lighter in the summer from the exposure to the sun and I wanted to play that up with this product. I have never tried a lightening hair treatment at home so I was scared that it would eventually bleach towels, bed sheets etc but it totally doesn't! The strength of lightening effect depends on how much you use.

I grabbed a small amount and it did lighten my dark brunette hair a tad. I was scared I was to apply it patchy and have random blonde bits if that would be how strong this stuff was. It looks extremely natural and I think this is the key - small amounts at a time. They drying time is literally zero. I get the sun kissed look without the expensive tip to the salon!!
