VASELINE SPRAY & GO BODY MOISTURISER ALOE FRESH

August was a busy month for me, between trying to organise my time between three places as well as travelling back and forth London and two holidays! The first was with my family, just a few days camping in Weymouth as we normally do. No one ever believes me although I have the proof and it happens every single year, but Weymouth to me is like Ibiza. I'm sure Ibiza has much better scenery, but I mean the weather!

Day 1 at the beach for a few hours turned into the entirety of my holiday and a few days when I got home of unbearable back pain from sunburn. This time it was sort of my fault, but it was horrible. I did the whole cool shower thing, aftersun, the lot. But nothing seemed to work.
The second holiday was with my boyfriends family in France, but travelling up to London proved more difficult than I thought; boiling hot, stuffy weather coupled with a heavy bag and the tube just made my back even worse.

Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturiser Aloe Fresh - £4.99

So my boyfriends mother gave me this to try (which was an added bonus as I've actually been wanting to test this out for a while). I have to say that it did a much better job in one day than my aftersun did in a week. The thing I love most about this product is the noise it makes when you press down on the nozzle. The formula is non-greasy and sprays out in a very fine layer and I found it soaked into my skin really well after just a few seconds. 

I think there are two others in this range. All three work in different ways, but Boots doesn't seem to like me at the moment so I can't view anything without an error code popping up. I highly recommend this product and take back everything I thought when it first came out. I'm not one for body lotions but this has definitely opened my mind. Perfect and just in time for summer, well done, Vaseline!

BARRY M HI SHINE GEL EFFECT

For the past year and a half, Barry M has been my #1 stop for nail polishes and I was so excited when they brought this range out. The formula has been designed to add extra glossy finish in just one coat! This range is highly-pigmented and chip resistant for longer lasting wear.

Barry M Hi Shine Effect Nail Polish in Prickly Pear and Guava £3.99

I have to say, the variety of colours Barry M are offering are brilliant for summer and a test to those who want to try something a bit different, bolder. Purple is my absolute favourite colour so it's pretty much impossible for me not to have some kind of lilac in my collection. I bought this because it was the first gel nail polish I'd seen or heard of and it had and continues to get great reviews! However, unlike it seems everybody else who's tried this nail polish, I found the anti-chip doesn't really work and they take much longer to dry. I also find with these two colours you have no choice but to apply two coats. I'm sure the darker colours in the range are fine with one, but these aren't up to it. Overall I like them and I would purchase any in the collection if I thought I couldn't get better in another brand. Barry M are a brilliant brand and lately they seem to be going from strength to strength. I'm not ready to give up on them just yet!

BOURJOIS 1 SECONDE

Recently I've become obsessed with nail polishes and it seems I'm not the only one. Somehow nail art has become a huge trend, encouraging girls and women all over to brave new designs and bold colours. The industry have responded by giving us an entire range to play with, even selling them at budget price! Many brands like Bourjois and  Barry M have become increasingly popular because of this, giving us amazing new formulas to test out.

Bourjois 1 Seconde in Coral - £5.99

Everybody in the blogging world is raving about Bourjois new range of nail polishes and without doubt, I'm with them. As well as the new formula, it comes with a flat, round 'fan effect' brush designed to be used with one swipe, one coat and dry quick. As well as the packaging, I think the brush makes this product a must have. Coral is a perfect summer shade and definitely a keeper for holidays!

The only quarrels I have with it is I don't find it to dry as quick as it's meant to and I typically use two coats instead of the recommended one. Apart from that, it's one of my favourites of the summer.

I'm hoping to pick up another one in the range - Turquoise Block, which is by far the most attractive and eye catching blue I have ever seen.

At £5.99 I think they're a steal for what they offer and right now there's 3 for 2 on the Bourjois range in boots! I know where I'm heading..
