Urban Decay are renowned for their buttery soft eyeshadow formula, which makes each shadow effortlessly easy to blend. This softness, however, means they are also notorious for leaving you with powdery fallout underneath your eyes. Fortunately, the pigmentation and texture of the shadows make up for the mess, and it can be simply swept away with a fluffy brush or makeup wipe depending on which order you apply your eye and base makeup. Some say that the perfect neutral palette has been created with Urban Decay's Naked Eyeshadow Palette. Whilst I do use it very regularly and highly rate the shade selection, I'd say that it doesn't quite hit the nail on the head for me due to the lack of mattes. You can't deny that they're amazing value, though, especially compared to how much putting together a similar palette from MAC would cost, for example.

Dior is by far my favourite brand for lip products. I'm never let down by the various formulas and the colour range is so vast, covering everyday nudes right through to more intense shades. My favourite red of the season so far has been 644 Rouge Blossom from the Dior Rouge Dior Lipstick line, which is a bright, slightly orange-toned red. Yes, £25 is steep for a single lipstick, but I think the highly pigmented yet moisturising Rouge Dior formula is extremely hard to beat if you prefer a sheeny finish. Plus, who could not adore that packaging?! This is a lipstick that makes you feel special as soon as you put it on, so if you purchase a colour that you know you'll wear often, it's perfect, even just to keep for special occasions.

When I've been after something less bold and more glossy, but still want to add a hint of a tint, I've been opting for the Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait De Gloss in 58 Emoi, a sweet raspberry shade. The non-sticky, plush formula is just heavenly to apply. Unfortunately, my swatch image above doesn't do justice to the colour payoff when worn alone. Once the glossiness has worn off, all is not lost, as lips are still left with a slight stain of colour. It lasts like a dream and allows you to wear something bright on your lips without feeling self conscious (if you tend to). If you aren't shy when it comes to lip colours, slick some of this on top of a lipstick and it'll ramp up the colour intensity even further. Having such chic packaging, as always with Chanel, and a scent of sweets - I can't get enough!

In the shower, I've been loving the Dove Cream Oil Nourishing Body Wash as it just leaves your skin supple, soft and so moisturised without being greasy. Used alongside a pair of exfoliating gloves, you'll really notice a difference in how your skin looks and feels. It doesn't have a particularly stand-out fragrance to it, but I tend to use scented body lotions after showering that mask the smell of it anyway. This body wash is such a bargain as it can often be found on offer for around £1, so you really can't go wrong with this one!

After abusing my hair all summer long with the intense sunshine, salt water and by using my conical wand to create effortless, beachy waves (which ironically takes more effort), I've really felt the need to give my hair some extra TLC. This V05 Hot Oil Moisture Soak Elixir Oil Treatment works like a dream with immediate results. As soon as you rinse the pre-treatment oil out after just a couple of minutes, you can tell how well it's penetrated the hair in such a short time. It's just so silky and soft. After shampooing, conditioning and styling, your hair is left shiny and sleek, without being weighed down with any greasy residues. There is a portion chart along the side of the tube to indicate how much to use for one treatment, but I do find that I need to use more than it suggests as my hair is very long and especially dehydrated at the moment. I'd say that I get about five uses out of a tube, but seeing as it costs just £4.29 (that's around 85p per treatment!), I have no complaints!
