Just like any Monthly favourites, I will post up my random favourite things for the previous month! I have a few items that I purchased in September that I would like to share with you!
My #1 favourite for September would be these two lovely hair products from Lush which have made showering one of the things I look forward to everyday! I Love Juicy is packed with freshly juiced fruits which include pineapples, kiwi, mango and papaya that are full of enzymes that help break down excess oil in the scalp. It smells amazing, and when I say amazing; I mean AMAZING! You only need a coin sized amount for fairly short hair (like mine). It lathers up really nicely and once you massage it into your hair you can smell the beautiful fruity scent! I've been using this for weeks and I still find this product very suitable for my hair. It leaves my hair shiny and non greasy! A little fact about my hair; I have to shampoo everyday because it gets greasy very quickly. My hair is wavy and thin and this shampoo is very gentle on both my hair and scalp. As a conditioner American Cream is superb! It leaves my hair surprisingly soft and smelling like strawberries and cream! American Cream is a milkshake-thick conditioner with fresh strawberries rich in vitamin C, orange juice to add gloss, soothing clary sage and calming lavender. I usually apply a coin size amount onto the ends of my hair after washing with I Love Juicy. These two combined, my hair is manageable and falls nicely except for the occasional weird fringe waves which is to be expected from the nature of my hair.
#2 Favourites goes to the SK-II facial products. I've been using the Facial Treatment Cleanser for almost 2 months. I can say that I can see some improvements in my skin. The main one would be that my skin dryness has reduced so much. Some cleansers I used before would give a dry feeling after use but this kept my skin smooth even before applying moisturiser. It isn't a definite must have, but definitely falls into my September Favourites. The Facial Treatment Essence is my must have. I have been using this for more than 3 months. Another fact about my skin, I have dry and sensitive skin. I also have acne. My acne comes and goes as they please but especially attacks my face during my period. After using the Facial Treatment Essence, I have much controlled acne. I find that the essence helps to dry up existing acne. The SK-II products are very gentle on my skin and last for a while. I used up a 30 ml Facial Treatment Essence in a span of 3 months. The cost is expensive and would only recommend this for those who have the extra money to spare. Everyone has different skin types as well. If you would like to give this a try, make sure to try out the testers before completely going for the full volume. I'm very happy with these two and hopefully they will continue to keep my skin happy!
#3 goes to the ACQUA di GIOIA by Giorgio Armani. I'm not a perfume kind of girl but this is my favourite scent for September! It's fresh, subtle and keeps me feeling confident! My nose is a bit sensitive to perfumes and I can't handle strong scents. If you're like me, you can give this one a try! Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as me!
That wraps up my September Favs! Hope you find something useful in this post!
The past 2 weeks of uni have been very busy since Day 1. I'm off to finish off some reading and continue my lab report work. All the best for everyone! See you on my next post!
*Keep an eye out for my update on the John Legend concert I went to last night!
