July 2015 Favourites | Makeup, Skincare, Fashion and More!

It's been months since I last done a monthly favourites post, so seeing as there has been quite a few things I've been loving this month I thought i'd share them with you. Personally, I love reading and watching favourites as it gives you an insight to what people are loving and whats worth spending your money on. I thought i'd split mine into a few sections- makeup, skincare, fashion and other which consists of things I probably can't show but can talk about- so here goes.

Makeup

Collection Lengthening Mascara
I received this in a beauty box at the beginning of the year and from what I had experienced with previous Collection mascaras, I sort of put it to one side and didn't think much of it. I recently rediscovered this when sorting through my makeup and this was the only one I hadn't tested so thought i'd give it a go. I'm so glad I did! I was using the Benefit Roller Lash sample at the time and I found this done a similar job. Although, I still would really like to repurchase the Roller Lash, I don't see much point as I love this just as much. It creates length as the name would suggest and separation leaving you with natural fluttery lashes!

Seventeen Phwoarr Paint Concealer in Fair

I was coming to the end of my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and although that is a great concealer, I wanted to try something different. I had heard that the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Corrector Concealer so decided to give this a whirl as that is a concealer which is much raved about. This covers my dark circles like no other and doesn't crease throughout the day as I found the Collection one did a little. However, I must set this cream concealer with powder otherwise it will slip and slide in the warm weather! This will definitely go in my basket again.

Botanics All Bright Radiance Balm

I'd never heard about this product before reading it on someones blog a month or so ago. As it was on offer while making an online order I decided i'd give this a go as I remember, whoever reviewed it said it was amazing for creating that 'lit from within' glow. I use the L'Oreal True Match Foundation on a daily basis which I love, however it is a satin/matte finish and I prefer a dewier look during the summer. This works alone to make you look fresh and healthy when really you've just rolled out of bed but also works well mixed in with foundation. If you see this whilst shopping at Boots, swatch it! It has the most stunning iridescence running through it.

Skincare

Botanics Shine Away Invigorating Face Scrub

I've recently ran out of the other scrub from the Botanics range, although that was lovely I thought i'd give this one a go. I'm so glad I did as I much prefer this one! The other has plastic micro-beads however this has a more fine and almost sand/sugar like scrub which I much prefer as it feels like it's really working to lift any dead skin cells to leave you with much smoother skin. This is also for oily skin which has been working wonders to mattify my skin during the summer months.

Fashion

Primark Nude Loafers

I actually picked these up to wear to an interview as they're very plain and simple which I feel can be dressed up or down on more casual days. Since buying these they've not been off my feet, hence why they look a little worse for wear. I went back to pick up another pair but unfortunately they had all sold out, maybe that's a sign to invest in a more expensive, higher quality pair- eh?

Other

You may have seen a previous post of mine, talking about meeting up with family after a long while, you can read more about that here. But yes, I went to another gathering this month with all my family there for my cousins 2nd Birthday. It was so lovely to see the family but really nice to celebrate her special day also. I was in my element while shopping for her, as you may know- I work with children. We decided on a Peppa Pig puppet book and the most gorgeous little top with ice lollies and ice creams on- perfect for her holiday! She absolutely loved the Peppa book, and Peppa is her new favourite thing- so sweet! 

And that's a wrap of what I've been loving this month!

I'm just wondering, do you guys like these sort of posts or would you rather see something different?
