June Favourites 2021

Whenever I have a blogging break I have to come back with a favourites post, it’s just how it always seems to happen. Part of me can’t believe that I’ve been blogging for so long and these are still my all time favourite posts to put together. This post is quite varied and I include something I’ve never spoken on my blog before, which has made me feel incredibly old; so please enjoy whilst I have a quarter life crisis…

These are my June Favourites 2021.

Charlotte Tilbury | Look of Love Pretty Blushed Beauty

charlotte tilbury face palette

I will admit that I was on the fence about buying this because I know how much I dislike buying face palettes because there’s always something that I end up not using. Then this palette came along and changed the game. Not only is every shade beautiful, but the formula backs it up. The blush is the standout for me, it’s a peachy pink that leaves a natural sheen. I don’t want to ramble on too much, but this is easily my favourite makeup purchase of the year so far.

ColourPop | Koosh Super Shock Shadow

colourpop koosh super shock shadow, light champagne

This is something that I didn’t expect to love so much. I got this in a set with the shade Ritz and I was fully expecting that one to be my favourite, but I much prefer this one. Koosh has a metallic finish and is a light gold with an icy silver shimmer running through it. It’s simply beautiful and really finishes a look.

ColourPop | Snake Eyes Eyeshadow

colourpop snake eyes eyeshadow, taupe

I won’t bore you too much with this one, as I am fully aware that it’s all I seem to talk about over on my Instagram. Saying that, you know it’s a good one when it inspires a whole collection; I’m looking at you: ‘That’s Taupe‘. Snake Eyes is a metallic taupe that I love using as an all over lid shade. I do experience a small amount of fallout, but nothing too drastic.

Bali Body | Self Tanning Mousse

Previously gifted, but I have gone on to repurchase. 

With things opening back up I have been reaching for the fake tan, and I always end up coming back to this one. The colour is beautiful, as it doesn’t look orange at all. Another huge benefit is that it doesn’t really transfer. I’ll always end up with some on my clothes whilst it’s developing, but it never marks my bedding. Which I am very grateful for as a white bedding owner. The guide colour is also great as it means I never have a patchy tan. I have a full review, if you’d like more details.

Comfort | Perfume Deluxe Coco Fantasy

I never thought I would be talking about fabric conditioner on my blog, but here we are. Since moving out I’ve always used some variation of Comfort, but now I think I’ve found my favourite scent. It has such a strong coconut scent, which I can still smell in the garden whilst the washing is drying. I picked this up in Home Bargains, but I’ve seen online that it’s available in most Supermarkets.

Ikea

I’m aware putting going to Ikea in here makes it seem like a slow month, but hear me out. This was the first trip to Ikea since owning a house, so where as all of my other trips were to look at the bedroom stuff and dream about my future home. This trip was different, as we needed furniture for the living room and more glasses. Oh and let’s not forget the meatballs… It just seemed like a significant change that I wanted to note down.

I think I’ll leave it there before this post becomes too long.

Those were my June Favourites 2021.

Thank you for reading.

    Great post! I think self-tanning creams and mousses are so good for this time of year- especially here in the UK where we rarely get enough sun to tan!

    I love makeup palettes but I feel the same, there’s always something on there that won’t get used. And a trip to IKEA as a homeowner is always fun 😂

    I love a favourites post and I’ve been blogging for 7 years next month! I’ve only this year committed to doing my monthly favourites every month though; madness I know! Looking forward to returning with a favourites post too (had a bit of a life event ya know :’( ). Talking of face palettes you’ve literally just reminded my to dig into that gorgeous blush in my Naked on the Run palette more!

    Wow! You’ve got some great products here. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried any of these. The Charlotte Tilbury | Look of Love Pretty Blushed Beauty looks so good. I would love to have that. The Bali Body | Self Tanning Mousse and the ColourPop | Koosh Super Shock Shadow caught my attention as well.

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺
4.❤️
5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺
14. I do not miss doing bedtime at this temperature🥵
Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
