Had quite a lot of favourites in July! I've probably mentioned a few of them before, especially recently as July is my birthday month and some were presents and some were what i bought with money i got for my birthday, and i've been using them a lot.
Left to Right - Liz Earle instant boost skin tonic, Liz Earle skin repair light moisturiser, Liz Earle intensive nourishing treatment mask, Liz Earle deep cleansing mask, St Moriz dark mousse, Garnier summerbody.
Liz Earle - I've been loving Liz Earle as a whole this month, these were the main products i've been loving, i've been using the deep cleansing mask, intensive nourishing treatment and instant boost skin tonic for ages, but went i went shopping with my mum in Leeds, we got a set to share as i wanted the moisturiser, i'd used liz earle moisturisers before, but i don't think they were right for my skin, as they are targeted at different skin types, this one is amazing. I'd really recommend the Liz Earle range. I'm not sure how much each of these are, but she has a website :)
Fake Tan - Love these two tans! been using them both together, the Garnier summerbody one gives me a lighter colour than the St Moriz, so i use St Moriz one night, and garnier the next. They both give me a lovely natural tan. They're both around £3-5 depending on where you buy it.
Urban Decay naked palette, Chanel soleil tan de chanel (bronze universel), Topshop blush in nutmeg, Bobbi Brown corrector in porcelain bisque.
Naked Palette - In love with it. Literally. The colours are just beautiful, and you create so many different looks for day or night, i feel like i don't need any eyeshadows ever again, haha! Around £30 (was a gift)
Chanel bronzer - Most gorgeous bronzer I have ever used. Even on my really pale skin it looks natural, even though i have to use it with a light hand, it blends beautifully and makes me look sunkissed in the right places. I build it up more when i have fake tan on. £29.
Topshop blusher - I think i've mentioned before how much i love these blushers, they blend amazingly, and for £6 you can't really go wrong, i love the colour Nutmeg as it looks really natural, its a brownish muted rose colour.
Bobbi Brown Corrector - Even though i'm only 17, i suffer from really bad dark circles (which i think is more hereditary than anything as my mum has them) but this is the best thing I have ever found to camaflauge them, its so creamy, doesn't crease and I only need the tiniest amount to cover them. You're meant to use a concealer over the top as its a colour corrector but i don't feel the need to, i just dab a bit of foundation over it. £17.
Left to right - Bourjois healthy mix foundation in 52, MAC lipstick in ravishing, MAC lipstick in impassioned, MAC lipglass in pink lemonade, MAC haute and naughty lash mascara, Urban Decay primer potion (mini, came with naked palette), Paul Mitchell Vogetti wonder brush and mighty brush.
Bourjois foundation - mentioned this before i think, lovely foundation, nothing bad to say about it really, dewy but not oily, just a great foundation, especially for summer as its not too heavy. Around £10.
MAC lipsticks - Ravishing is a gorgeous daytime brownish coral, its a cremesheen as well so i don't feel the need for a lipbalm.
Impassioned is a very bright pink, more red-toned than purple-toned, i sometimes wear this in the day, but i prefer it at night as its a modern take on bright red lips, which i don't think suit me that well. Its an amplified creme so i tend to put a tiny amount of lipbalm on underneath, not too much as it won't stay on.
I got both these lipsticks free with Back-to-Mac, but they retail at £13.50.
MAC lipglass - Absolutely in love with this, looks gorgeous on its own or over a lipstick. I'd say its the lipgloss version of Costa Chic lipstick by MAC, a bright perfect coral/pink. This is also my first lipglass, and i think i might end up getting more, they're amazing! Lipglass £12.50
MAC mascara - Love this mascara, i got it free with a MAC online order about 2-3 months ago, and i've used it pretty much everyday, so its lasted me a while. It makes my eyelashes look so full and volumized. Not sure if i'd be willing to pay £17 for it though, i would repurchase it but that'd quite expensive for a mascara when some high street/drugstore mascara's give you similar, if not the same results. A lot of drugstore brands are starting to do the 'double-wand' thing though, Tanya Burr (pixi2woo on youtube) likes bourjois' version, might have to try it!
Urban Decay Primer Potion - I got this with my naked palette, definitely need to get the full size, i don't know what i did without it before! Keeps your eyeshadow on all day. Love it!
Hair Brushes - Bit of a weird favourite as hair brushes are just an everyday thing for anyone, but i won these from Glamour Magazine and just in time too, as i wanted some brushes just like it! They're backcombing/teasing brushes basically, and that's why i've been loving them, i haven't had to use any volumising products, just these and Elnette hairspray! Although i have heard teasing is bad for your hair so i might have to switch back to products for a while, i love Tresemme's Sky High Plumping Powder, and i kind of miss using it, haha! I'm not sure where you can buy these brushes, but i think they retail at around £2-6 :)
That's everything! :)
