July Favourites


1. Dr Jart Blemish balm - I've been using this range for a few years now and it is my go to base in the summer months. It's really light weight but has great coverage and is more like the original eastern BB creams that have skincare benefits for pigmention, healing acne etc. This one has SPF 40 and I often feel like it has made a difference to evening out my skin tone.

2. L'oreal true match foundation- this is such a find. It has great,buildable coverage and doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the skin. It can be built to create a really flawless look and it also has great staying power. Can't believe it is a drugstore foundation. So pleased I tried it!

3. MAC Pro concealer palette - on Suzie from hellooctober's video recommendation, I had to get this. I have really dark circles under my eyes and also dark eye lids. It is amazing how much more fresh and awake I look when wearing this. The concealer does need warming up first in order to blend out easier but I don't think I could be without this now. Something to note is that the 'Light' palette is really light and I have quite pale skin. I can use all the shades but I would probably get more use out of 'Medium'.

4. MAC Fix + spray - I used to use this years ago and lately I have been feeling like I want to add in a step before applying my make up. I suppose my skin has felt a bit dry and this is really comforting. It does help my make up to stay on all day and creates a glow too.

5. Barry M speed quick dry nail varnish in 'Pit stop' - does what it says on the tin! Very quick drying. Looks better with 2/3 coats. Opaque and Matt finish. It doesn't last that long on me but it has been really fast to top up.
