Favourite Summer Lips : Part 1

We're in July, the sun has been shining (on and off) and it's finally appropriate to wear the brightest colours possible... in both clothing and on our faces!

I love love love buying lip products, I literally have an addiction (it's been an issue for a while now...) and I love nothing more than a gorgeous fun bright shade! So I thought I would share with you, my lovely readers, my current go-to lip products!

I managed to narrow  it down to just 10 so I thought I'd do it in two posts, sharing 5 in each, so here is part 1!  

I have a mix of lipsticks, lipglosses and lip crayons - all great fun summer shades which are always top of my pile this time of year! 

Left to Right :

Mac Matte Lipstick -  Candy Yum Yum (review)

Barry M Lipgloss - 5 Bubblegum

Make-up Revolution Lipstick - Depraved

Bourjois Lip Crayon - Peach On The Beach (review)

Maybelline Megawatt Lipstick - Flash Of Fuchsia (review)

I love love love these shades and the prices range from £15 (MAC) to just £1 (MUR) so there is something for everyone! Do you own any of them? 

Keep your eyes peeled for Part 2 when I will be sharing the other 5 lip shades/products that have made their way to the top of my favourites for summer!

April Favourites

Favourites posts are probably some of my favourite's to write and definitely some of my favouite's to read!
 I love sharing the products/things which are top of my list for the month!
As always most of my favourites this month are beauty related (duh) but of course there are a few other things sneaked in there!

L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 401 Fuchsia Drama 

This is a product I bought over a month ago now and I am still crazy in love with it! I have been using it both alone and pairing it with lipsticks too - I love it over the top of Mac's Girl About Town. These liquid lipsticks are fab, so pigmented, as soft as a lip balm and super glossy - perfect if you aren't a lipstick fan but want a bold look! (Full review & photos here)

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon - Peach On The Beach

It wasn't long ago that this was featured on A Yellow Brick Blog (post here) but it has to go in my April favs! I've been wearing this ALOT since buying it a few weeks ago! Love love love, fab colour, fab product! Possibly the best lip crayon I've used so far.

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Masque 

You may have seen this in my Boots Haul this month and I have been saving to talk about it until now! After the first us I knew this was going to be in my monthly favourites! This stuff smells lovely and left my hair feeling so soft, smooth and healthy (although I haven't noticed any major change in the thickness yet!) I have been using this once a week and cannot rave on about it enough.... and I got it when it was half price so even better!

Botanics All Bright Purifying Face Scrub

A skincare favourite now. I bought this along with the matching face wash and they have had a firm place in my shower ever since.

 The wash is something I use daily-every other day (I tend to alternate with others) in the mornings and the scrub is something I use probably once a week! It leaves my skin looking and feeling refreshed and they aren't expensive at all - I am very lucky with my skin so I don't feel like I have to splash out on anything too expensive, it is something I will definitely repurchase.  

Yankee Candle - Black Coconut

 I'm all about smells. Products - first thing I check out is the scent, perfumes - so much love for perfumes ..... smells are something I just notice alot.
 So moving into my own flat I am always obsessed that it smells nice.
 Queue an aray of yummy candles. I love candles and this one has been burning bright alot this month! I may have actually shown this in a favourites before or maybe in a haul but nethertheless - it's here again. A strong, coconut scent which really lasts - this is so yummy! And lets face it ... everyone loves a yankee candle! 

American Horror Story
TV show now. AHS is something I have been wanting to watch for years an years but I have been too chicken to watch alone. Haha I know - what a wimp! 
So when the boyf agreed to start the first season with me on Netflix I was super excited! Since then we have watched season 1, season 2 and are now half way through season 3! This show is brilliant.... some of it a bit bloody weird but it is amazing! I love that each season is totally different but they keep the same cast! I have alot of love for Evan Peters right now!

POTW #12 : Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon - Peach On The Beach

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon - Peach On The Beach .... I am well and truely in love with you.

Now I know I'm a bit late on the colour boost love bandwagon here but at least I'm on it right?

I've been eyeing these beauts up or months and months (since the likes of fellow beauty lovers such as Tanya & Zoe starting bigging them up) but with my endless supply of lip products at home I've always mananged to talk myself out of splashing out buying one!

That was until I have a bit of a mental breakdown in Boots recently and thought "why not spend some points" and had a little spend up - and I am so glad I did! (Haul here.)

I choose the peach shade as it's not the type of colour that I have lots and lots of! 
These lip crayons as super hydrating and glossy and I'm totally and utterly addicted to applying it!
I have worn this day after day since buying it and am actually gutted I hadn't bought it sooner, I have been majorly missing out!

The colour is a fab peachy pink and even though it is just a lip crayon these are so pigmented! I am now desperate for more and am so tempted to head back to Boots and abuse the 3 for 2 offer!

Have you tried the Colour Boost lip crayons yet? What's your favourite shade?

Bargain Boots Haul

A haul! Remember those? 

It's been a good while since one of these has appeared on A Yellow Brick Blog - mainly because I have been saving my money/have no money.

 BUT I have  cheeky little one to share with you all today and most of this stuff I purchased with my Boots advantage card points and more or less all of them were total bargains (my fav!) - I think only 1 item cost me more than £3 - so all is good!

Haircare

Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer Shampoo & Conditioner
Newbies out on he shelves of the UK, I have been eyeing these up since the day they were released. Mainly because of the scents - I am obsessed with just smelling everything when mooching round Boots, does anyone else do this? I saw the larger bottles of these were half price so only £1.94 each so of course picked up this duo - with coconut oil and cocoa butter surely this can't be bad!

Frizz-Ease Overnight Repair Formula
This was £1.75..... yes I kid you not! Under £2 for a full-sized John Frieda overnight treatment - hell yes. Love a good clearance bargain and I got a few in this trip! I'm looking forward to trying this out especially with the weather getting a little warmer - more frizz is bound to try and creep it's way into my life and I'm just not having it!

Lee Stafford Mini Poker Straight Treatment 

50p!!!! Fifty British piece for this mini treatment tube! What a steal! I'm going to save this for before a big night out when I want straight glossy soft locks! 

V05 Smoothly Does It Straightening Lotion
Now this was actually quite a random purchase - I had to get my boyfriend's hair stuff which is by VO5 and I noticed their styling products were 2 for £5! His stuff was about £3.20 ... so clearly I had to get myself something if it was just going to cost me an extra £1.80! This is what I found - it looks fab and is £6.29 on its own so to get this along with the boyf's hair wax for just £5 - bargain city! Really looking forward to trying this out!

L'oreal Elvive Fibrology Hair Mask

Bought it. Tried it. LOVE it. This made my hair feel amazing - I could run my fingers through my hair straight after the shower - whereas normally I'm there with my moroccanoil and tangle teezer trying to get rid of all the knots and craziness! It was half price at £2.54 and think I may invest in another to keep me going! 

Skincare

Boots Essentials Cucumber Eye Gel

After recently trying out the face mask from this brand I set out on a mission to find another product to try! This like the mask was only 99p on offer and after reading so many rave reviews I couldn't resist! Bring on de-puffed eyes and hopefully smaller bags!

Nivea Soft Cream 200ml
This stuff is a god send and lasts for months and months - I swear the last one I bought was last summer and I haven't even finished it yet! Saying that it is near the end and this had about 1/3 off and had a cute limited edition packaging so grabbed it while I could! This is a lovely moisturiser I use for more or less anything and I love the smell of Nivea products! 

Montagne Creamy Coconut Face Mask Sachet

This sachet was only 66p so thought I would grab it for the night time I decide to give myself a bit of a pampering. I love the smell of coconut and heard this works so well at hydrating the skin so can't wait to give it a whirl! 

Boots Double Faced Cotton Wool Pads
Can't live without these badboys. I don't know how anyone can use small thin cotton pads - I have to have these thick huge double sided ones! I use these mainly for my Liz Earle Skin Tonic which I use twice a day - my routine is incomplete without it! This are also great for removing nail polish - just one pad can do nearly all my fingers!

Lips

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon - 04 Peach On The Beach

This is a product I have been eyeing up for months and months and months - ever since they were announced really!
 I have seen so many people wearing it, talking about it, blogging about it and so when I spotted it the other day I knew it was about time I bought it (and it was with my Boots points so didn't feel like I was splashing out on an unnecessary item!) This colour is gorgeous and I love the finish of these lip crayons - I can tell this is going to be one of my most worn of Spring/Summer this year and I am now itching to buy the rest of the collection!

Burt's Bees Revitaliing Lipbalm with Blueberry & Dark Chocolate 
My addiction to buying lip balms seems to be never ending! This was also a clearance item so for only £1.85 I couldn't just walk past without adding it to my basket of goodies! This smell so yummy and is a great lip balm! Burt's Bees are a brand I really want to try more of so if you have any recommendations let me know!

So there we have it - a little Boots haul for you all! Any products in there that you own/have tried? Have you bought anything from Boots lately?
