June Loves

A lot has gone on this month for me. The final weeks of semester hit, which meant it was constant assignments and exams. That was followed by a week of sickness just as I reached my holidays, which is never fun. Then I spent the last week suddenly moving into a bigger unit. I'm still settling in but I've found time to put together my favourites for the previous month.

Beautiful Boots

I recently put up a post that featured a range of my favourite boots from my collection. That post was inspired by some of the beautiful pairs I'd managed to get my hands on over this month. I actually got both of these pairs from Cotton On and on sale!

This pair in particular I had been eyeing off for a while. Many higher end designers have put out boots that look very similar, but I've never been able to make myself spend the dollars on them. When I saw these babies on sale for $20 though I knew it was the world giving me a sign that it was finally my time to own a pair. I've never loved a pair of shoes so much in my life.

These were also a massive bargain at only $15! I hadn't planned on buying new shoes, but when I saw these beautiful babies at that price how could I not!

Lair Belt

Anyone who is in Newcastle or knows about the fashion store called The Lair knows what an iconic piece this is. I've always thought this classic belt was beautiful and this month my Mum was kind enough to gift one to me. It's handmade in the store just out the back which makes it even more special I think. I've already worn it heaps, and especially with my ripped denim jeans, it makes any outfit go from zero to amazing in an instant.

Tomboy Sport Gym Towel

I actually write for Tomboy Sport's blog and received this as compensation for my work, and while I only got it recently I just had to put it in my favourites. No I'm not getting paid anything more by the brand to chuck this in here, I just simply love it. I've always just used a bath towel for the gym, and while that's never really bothered me I couldn't help but kind of love I finally have a proper gym towel. The fabric this towel is made out of is so soft and just feels like such amazing quality. I also love the simple square design. You can also pick this up in a black version. Keep an eye out on Tomboy Sport's blog for a more detailed review of this towel soon.

 Skincare

I always love trying new skincare items, and this month I have some new favourites to rave about. First is Australian Pure Beauty's Make Up Be Gone Micellar Water. I love the Garnier one, but I wanted to try something else. I use this to tone my face after cleansing, and this stuff is also brilliant at removing pesky eye makeup.

My other skincare favourite this month is Sukin's Hydrating Mist Toner. I love to spray this stuff over my face after toning and before moisturising, and just at any point during the day when I need something to make me feel a bit refreshed.

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer

I featured this product in my Priceline 40% cosmetics haul and I've been using it ever since. I honestly notice a massive difference when I use this before putting on my makeup. It stops my foundation from separating during the day and does help to keep the oil at bay. I wouldn't say I stay 100% shine-free, but I definitely notice a difference when I remember to put this on first in the morning.

 Nescafe Dolce Gusto

This month my boyfriend brought a Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee pod machine, which totally reminded me I had one sitting back at my parent's place. So I got my mum to bring it down to me and I've been putting it to good use ever since. I've never been a massive coffee drinker, that was up until the last few months; I blame the crazy semester I just had. My favourite pods for the Dolce Gusto have to be the Chocoletto (which is basically a hot chocolate) and the Latte Macchiato

Ceramic Travel Mug

What would drinking coffee be without something cute to drink it from? My last favourite is this cute ceramic travel mug I got from Target. Unfortunately I can't find it online, but I grabbed mine in-store for only $4 (and it wasn't on sale, they're just always that price). I tend to use this at home more than when I'm on-the-go, just because I love it so much and it's always dirty when I need to go somewhere. They come in a few different colours, and the cup part is ceramic, while the lid is a flexible rubber.
