July Favourites

Hello you lovely people and welcome to my July Favourites.. Yet again another month has flown by without me realising and it's that time of the month when I bunch together my favourites from the past 4 weeks and tell you what I've been enjoying!

First up is a base product in the form of the Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF 30. This little one is described as a hydrating colour corrector..I use the shade "Medium" and find that it actually works very well on my pale skin. It looks a little scary when first dispensed on the back of the hand (it's reaaally dark) but as soon as it's smoothed onto the skin it perfectly matches my skintone whilst adding just a hint of warmth. I find this goes on best with fingers, rather than a brush. What I really love about this product is the way it makes my skin look; it evens everything out without making me looking ill, it reduces the look of pores AND it actually looks better and better the longer it's been on the skin. Love it.

Next up is the Mega Plush Volum' Express mascara from Maybelline. I used this for a while last summer and then stopped for a while, but recently rediscovered it. It really does give me HUGE lashes; it gives masses of volume and adds to the length and looks super black. I'm not really sure why I stopped using it!

Moving on to lips, this month I've really been enjoying quite sheer pink hues. I've got to mention the Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Kissy Fit and the Clinique Butter Shine Lipstick in the shade Pink-a-boo. Kissy Fit is quite a hot pink that looks very juicy and bright on it's own, but it also really amps up a lipstick if you choose to wear one underneath. Pink-a-boo is sort of that perfect nudey-pink with a very subtle shimmer running through it, it's really pretty and is very comfortable and moisturising on the lips.

My next favourite is the VO5 Smoothly Does It Tame & Shine Spray. I love wearing my hair is loose beachy waves, but when the summer comes around as does the frizz. This light mist tames the frizz, restores the shine that can sometimes be difficult to maintain in blonde hair and has a built in heat protectant. I spritz a little through my hair before heat styling and then a little after as a finishing spray. It doesn't weigh my hair down and has a nice light fragrance to it.

My final favourite is a brush..Unfortunately I don't have an exact name for it but, it's the double ended synthetic brush that comes with the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. Specifically, I've been really enjoying the domed end of the brush. All this month I've been using it to apply my concealer and I've completely fallen in love. It blends the product into the skin seamlessly and allows my to build up thin layers when I need to. Great for under eyes and any pesky blemishes. It's fab.

So that's it for July. What have your favourites been?

Just to let you know my scheduling is going to be completely different in August so keep your eyes peeled for tons of new posts!

Enjoy the rest of your week and I'll speak to you all soon.
