DECLEOR AROMA CLEANSE TONIFYING LOTION
I received this product whilst working at House of Fraser during my placement year, I only have about 1/3 of the bottle left and I've absolutely loved using this product. You can use this product to either remove your makeup or as a toner, I've only used it as a toner so far but it's left my skin feeling soft and hydrated. The neroli oil repairs your skin and protects against dehydration leaving your skin glowing. The green tea water also detoxifies your skin and leaves it feeling refreshed. I only use this product before I go to bed and I love how my skin feels after I've applied it. If your skin needs a pick me up and you want to feel rejuvenated, this product is for you.

This product has been a staple for me for probably close to 3 years now. I will keep going back to this face mask again and again. Firstly, the tub is huge so it will last you a long time as when you're applying this mask, you really don't need much. Secondly, it's vegan, yay! This mask contains bamboo charcoal, green tea leaves and organic tea tree oil. It's great for blackheads as it draws all the impurities out of your skin, it's quite cool as you can actually see this happening whilst the mask is on (also a little disgusting but oh well). Once you take this mask off, you can seriously feel the difference, your whole face is unbelievably soft and my skin is always glowing once I've washed it off. This is still to date, my favourite face mask I own.
Another mask recommendation for you, here is another product I received whilst working on my placement year (the free samples were great as you can already tell). This mask is aimed at people with combination, dry or sensitive skin which is great for me as I have combination and sensitive skin. I found this mask really plumps the skin and leaves it feeling very glowy. The clay aspect of the mask helps to purify the skin and draw out impurities but the oatmeal in the mask also helps to reduce redness and irritation on sensitive skin. If you're looking for a face mask that is a good all rounder and does everything you need it to, I'd say this one is for you.
This setting spray is a no brainer, I absolutely love everything about it. It makes my makeup last all day without wearing off and it smells insane. I would even use this just as a refreshing face mist to cool me down as it smells that nice. The setting spray contains green tea, chamomile and cucumber as well as vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients to soften the skin whilst protecting it from pollution. If you're going to invest in a setting spray, give this one a go.
This is my new all time favourite primer which is sad because you can only get it from Sephora and sadly, there are no Sephora stores in the UK, I will definitely be stocking up when I next visit a Sephora. This primer applies so smoothly and acts almost as a BB cream when it is applied as it gives your skin a little tint and glow, it could definitely be used a BB cream/moisturiser on its own but it is great to apply makeup on top of too. My makeup lasts all day when I use this primer and my skin feels so soft. If you can get your hands on this primer, you won't regret it!
TARTE TARTELETTE FLIRT EYESHADOW PALETTE
Wow is all I can say. My boyfriend bought me this eyeshadow palette as a birthday present 2 years ago and every time I've worn eyeshadow since then, there's a 95% chance it's been from this palette. I absolutely love all of the shades in this palette, they can all be worn as an everyday look or a going out look. I am nearly ready for a new palette but I am getting the most out of this palette as they're hard to get hold of. The pigment in this eyeshadow palette too is insane, you only have to lightly swirl your brush around the pan and you will get an intense eye look. I couldn't praise this palette enough so if you like smoky brown and orange shades with a hint of glitter, please treat yourself to this palette. (It also smells like chocolate which is always a bonus.)

This lipstick is another free sample I received during my placement year. I've been reaching for this lipstick pretty much anytime I want to put a lipstick on as it's such a wearable colour especially with a nude lip liner, you're good to go. I have shade 04 which is 'canoodle' and these lipsticks are so creamy and easy to wear, they last a long time without having to re-apply and they smell good too which is again, always a bonus. If you're looking for a lipstick which will last the majority of the day and won't dry your lips out, maybe try this one.
The final thing I've been loving recently is a perfume. I'm posting this post on the gloomiest day of the year so far so this perfume doesn't really make sense in this case but the weather has been nice the past month so I was loving it then! My mum bought me this perfume from duty free in the airport and it's an amazing price, around £25/£30 for 50ml and it smells amazing! The main scent is watermelon but it has a hint of fresh fruit and is such a summery scent. If you're looking to hold onto summer a little while longer or just love sweet/fruity scents, this perfume is definitely for you.
That's all of my recommendations from products I've been loving recently. If anyone has any recommendations for me, please send them across!
