July Favourites

Another month has rolled by already so here are my July Favourites!

1. Benefit 'They're Real! Push-up Liner'

I bought this when I was in America last month & I absolutely love it! I'm definitely one of those people who have a love/hate relationship with eyeliners but I find that this one glides over really smoothly & gets the job done.

 

2. Victoria's Secret 'Mango Temptation' Spray

I've had another one of these which I posted about in a previous Favourites post but unfortunately it ran out :( Luckily, I was heading to America which meant I could buy a new one without it being too expensive. I love this 'Mango Temptation' one that I picked up, it smells so fruity & summery.

3. Barry M Gelly Nail Polish in 'Papaya'

I kind of went off Barry M nail polishes for a while, not too sure why. But recently i've been getting my finger nails done with gel polish & I wanted to have the same sort of effect on my tootsies! (At a fraction of the price.) I pulled this old thing out of my nail polish jars & have fallen in love again. It's such a gorgeous colour & gives a really nice finish.

4. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in 'Chantilly'

I have wanted this concealer for AGES. Literally months! Again, I bought this in America as it was cheaper & I'm so glad I did. The creamy texture is so good for covering up any blemishes or redness so I'll definitely have to re-purchase this.

5. Urban Decay 'The Brow Box' in 'Honey Pot'

I've only used this a few times but it has already fallen into my list of favourites. I love the colours which are of a natural tone & the little box it comes in. It's perfect for taking on the road with the hard casing, mini eyebrow brush & tweezer at the bottom.

6. Abercrombie White Ripped Jeans

I've always wanted a pair of white jeans but thought that I couldn't pull them off (you may think that I still can't ;)) but I saw some in Abercrombie that I fell in love with. They're really comfy & fit really well too. They were also a bargain which makes the purchase even better!

7. Yankee Candle Car Freshener

This little bundle of smell is joyful when I get into my car each day! It smells amazing & also looks really cute :) I've never seen these in the UK before, does anyone know where I can get some more?

8. Jo Malone White Jasmine & Mint Candle

My previous work colleagues bought me this as a leaving gift & I've been loving it! It smells so summery, almost like suncream... but trust me, it's a good'un.

9. Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer

I've had a bit of a rocky relationship with primers. Some days I love them, others I hate them! This Hourglass one however goes on like a dream. It's a really nice texture & doesn't feel overly heavy. It's such a good start to my makeup routine at the moment.

10. Nike Free Runner Trainers 5.0

My fiancé bought me these for Christmas last year but this month I have been loving them. I always forget how comfy they are until I slip them back on. They were really handy in America as we were doing lots of walking & they're also so light that they don't weigh your case down too much!

Have a look at what I was loving last month in my 'June Favourites'

May Favourites

I can't believe that we're already in June! How fast is this year going? Ridiculous.

Anyways, seeing as I really enjoyed doing an April favourites, I thought that I would make this a monthly post for you :)

1. Abercrombie & Fitch White Shorts

I bought these shorts last year in Amsterdam but I've recently found a new love for them! They're perfect for lounging around in now that the weather is getting a bit better & it's becoming slightly warmer. They go with anything so I can match any top with them & I can also wear them to the gym if I really want!

2. Vegetable Bake

Whenever I have a day off work in the week & I want a healthier lunch option I make a vegetable bake! I love it so much. I literally raid the fridge & select as many vegetables as I can find, chop them all up, add some tuna or chicken, chopped tomatoes & put a small bit of cheddar cheese on top :) delish!

3. MAC Liquid Eyeliner

I have a love/hate relationship with this eyeliner. I'm the kind of person who'd love to be able to create the perfect flick but it's never going to happen :( I love creating a cat eye but most of the time I get really annoyed at myself when trying to do one. This eyeliner has been really good lately & I forgot how easy it was to use :)

4. Victoria Secret Spray

My friends Viki & Mel bought me a spray for my last birthday which I absolutely love! I thought i'd lost it until I recently found it again it the back of a drawer & have been using it every day since. It really reminds me of summer & smells so fruity!

5. Kindle

I feel like this post is one of those where I haven't necessarily bought new things but I've rediscovered old products! My kindle is another one of those. I always have it by my bed but I'm always too distracted on YouTube or my blog to read but since the weather has been a bit nicer, I've been sitting in the garden & catching up on some reading :)

6. Mulberry Handbag

This was a present from my fiancé for my 21st birthday & I absolutely adore it! So much so, that I never used to wear it because I was scared of getting it dirty or ruined. I am now obsessed & it is my most worn bag :) I love the long strap which makes me feel like I can dress it down for the day or use the smaller strap for an evening handbag. (Thanks fiancé :) x)

7. Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm

Finally, a new product!! I have been absolutely LOVING this during May :) my skin went a bit mental in April for some reason which I think was due to the anaesthetic I had during an operation so I was in desperate need of some skin repair. This has definitely done the trick! It feels so luxurious on my skin &  leaves it feeling beautifully re-hydrated. 

8. MAC Bronzer

I love this bronzer. I must have had it for about 5 years, no joke! Probably shouldn't admit that but ah well. I went off it because it's quite shimmery & I went through at matt contour stage but I've recently rediscovered this & am loving using it to create a summery look.

9. Topshop Necklace

This necklace is so versatile its amazing! I've worn it to work, on a night out, to a fancy restaurant & just on a standard day. It goes with so many of my clothes but can also dress up an outfit really nicely. 

10. Primark Flannels

These have become a necessity in my skincare routine. I have about 12 flannels as I use one a day so that means a lot of flannel washing but it's definitely worth it. They're so cheap but are also soft as well :) I used to use the Liz Earle muslin cloths but I felt like after a few washes they lost the umph they first had so I decided to switch to flannels.

Thank you for reading
