July favourites

Can we believe it's almost August?! These monthly favourites posts really hit home how quickly each month seems to be rolling by this year! As always I have some new products and some rediscoveries among my faves this month.

Beauty and the sleep

It may be due to the hot weather we've been having here in the UK but recently I seem to be incapable of sleeping properly. I don't usually have any trouble actually falling asleep and maybe wake up once during the night if I'm unlucky but the last few weeks I've run the full gamut of laying awake for hours, waking up feeling completely overheated, waking up confused, waking up at the slightest noise outside, feeling like I haven't slept at all when I wake up - you get the picture!

I decided I need to take action and I wanted to share a couple of items for anyone who is suffering from similar insomnia nonsense.

First up is

The British Tag

Hey Everyone,

Finally, the perfect red lip!

Over the years I've tried so many red lipsticks, glosses, pencils etc etc and I've never quite found the right one. Until now! to make it even better it's a drugstore product :)

Some love for long hair - Pantene expert age defy range

I've noticed more and more anti-ageing hair care ranges appearing on the shelves recently. At first I thought these were aimed at a slightly older age range but then I realised that if you have very long hair like me then you could really benefit from this. Hair grows approx 15cm per year so the very ends of my hair are probably between three and four years old.

Most of these ranges claim to thicken the hair and make it appear more full which is something I definitely need. I picked up the Pantene expert age defy shampoo and conditioner and I've been really impressed so far

My hair definitely feels
