Winter isn't coming, Lord Stark. Winter is well and truly here! Not that I don't love hot chocolates, snuggles and big, fluffy jumpers, but I mean...summer! Here are a few of the products I've been using to keep that summer feeling alive. 

1. Cocoa Brown Golden Goddess ($24.95)

This is a dry oil meaning that it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any oily residue. It looks great over the top of a tan but it also adds a beautiful but subtle golden shimmer on its own. Even just adding a drop to your normal moisturiser makes you look like you've been on the beach all day instead of snuggled up on the couch binge watching the new season of Orange is the New Black.   

2. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Rapid Spray in Natural Bronze ($13.99)

I've written about this one before and it's still a firm favourite. It's quick and easy to use and doubles as both a gradual tanner and a moisturiser. The tan it gives you is subtle and not orangey at all and it also has the classi Palmer's scent which makes everyone think of warm, tropical beaches. 

3. Biosilk Beach Texture Spray ($24.99)

It's so hard to find a texturising spray that isn't too heavy (for those of us with fine hair) and doesn't make your hair sticky. The Biosilk version is lightweight, smells amazing and gives a gorgeous, beachy bed-head look with absolutely minimal effort. 

4. Thin Lizzy 6-in-1 Professional Powder ($49.95 for kit)

Everyone automatically thinks of "those" infomercials when they think of Thin Lizzy but the 6-in-1 powder is possibly my HG bronzer. I use it for both contouring and bronzing and occasionally as an eyeshadow and it's amazing for all of them. It comes in two shades and in my opinion, it's the perfect bronzer, summer or winter!

BioSilk is a US hair care brand that has recently landed in Australia. If you couldn't guess from the name, all of the products in the BioSilk range are infused with silk which contains amino acids to keep hair soft, strong and shiny. Here are four of my favourites from the range:

Silk Therapy Dry Clean Shampoo ($29.00)

I do love my Batiste but this dry shampoo is the nicest smelling one I've ever come across! It doesn't have a white colour to it either which means you don't have to work so hard at brushing it out and blending it in.

Silk Therapy 17 Leave-In Conditioner ($32.00)

I've pretty much abandoned traditional conditioner because I can't seem to find one that doesn't make my hair immediately greasy. This is my current favourite hair product and the solution to my conditioner woes. It smells amazing and adds just enough moisture, all in a handy spray form!

Silk Therapy Beach Texture Spray ($28.00)

Since my transition to shorter hair, texturising sprays have been a constant companion. This one is one of few I've found that give really nice texture without leaving hair feeling sticky or dry. Pretty much a must-have for anyone with short hair.

Silk Therapy Lite ($30.00)

This is perfect for anyone with dry, damaged hair that's also fine or gets oily easily. Because the formula is so light weight and absorbs so easily, it won't weigh down fine hair or make hair too oily. I've also started using this as an overnight treatment and then washing it all out in the morning to leave me with amazing soft and shiny hair.

Although the BioSilk range is a little pricier than other drugstore brands, I think the products are well worth the price. 

Have you tried anything from the BioSilk range?
