July Favourites!

I rounded up my top 5 favourite beauty products throughout the month of July and filmed exactly why I loved them, which you can watch below!

JULY FAVOURTIES

Urban Decay Revolutionize Lipstick in Streak � This (along with MAC�s limited edition Sushi Kiss lippie) has been my most used lipstick throughout the month of July.  It�s the most luxurious, peachy pink lipstick which really suits my pale complexion.  I am wearing this in the video above and it is just beautiful.  Props to Urban Decay for creating this beauty!

Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector in 02 � A second lip product here, and this time it�s one of the much loved & spoken about Clarins Lip Perfectors.  I recently got my hands on this and it hasn�t left my makeup bag since.  It�s a caramel-scented light, non-sticky lipgloss which just adds the nicest sheen to my pout.  I could sniff this all day.

Cover FX Total Cover Pressed Powder � July has been all about matte skin for me; it was a ridiculously hot and humid month which means that my face looked pretty much permanently oily, so used a pressed powder was a daily (and hourly) occurance.  I love this pressed powder for its buildable coverage and pale shade which doesn�t leave me looking orange at all.

Skin Doctors Hair No More � I�ll admit now I�m super lazy in the hair department.  I�ve never had a wax (shock-horror) and try and get away with shaving as less as I can (not painting a great picture of myself, am I, ha!).  Well, I�ve been using this beauty in July and I have already started seeing a slight difference.  It�s a hair inhibitor spray which helps to minimise the growth of hair.  It can be used all over but I�ve started off using it just on my legs, just spritz it on and massage it in a couple of times a week and you should start seeing a difference after a couple of weeks.  I am adamant to keep this up and use it religiously this summer!

Sleek Ink Pot Gel Eyeliner in Dominatrix � I�ve scrimped on eyeshadow in July and just focused on eyeliner to give me that big-eyed look and this has been my gel liner of choice!  This is ridiculously affordable, at around �5 including a brush, and is a fantastic quality giving me the most perfect, matte black winged liner look.  This is my third pot of this is my third pot of this stuff (I�ve been using it for a couple of years now) and favour it over any other high-end gel liner.  Try it out!

Extras
Favourite Band: Little Comets � I have been absolutely obsessed with Little Comets throughout the entire month and still can�t stop listening to their songs.  My favourites of theirs are: In Blue Music We Trust, Figures, Little Opus, Isles� and ALL the others.  I really urge you to give them a listen and I hope I get to see them live soon.

Books: I read two books this month; The End of Alice by A.M Holmes and Lolita by Vladimirovich Nabokov.  Both are based around the same (disturbing) topic and both have been interesting (?) to read.  I wouldn�t necersarily recommend them as they aren�t nice books but I thought they are both well written.  I�m definitely going to read a happy book next!

Lovebox Festival: I went to Lovebox with some of my favourite people a couple of weekends ago and had the best time.  I have a post coming up about it shortly!

Filming with DailyMix: I was super lucky to film with Tanya Burr on Dailymix in July � we had a great little chat about highstreet/highend makeup dupes!  I really can�t wait for the video to go live, I�ll let you know as soon as it does!

What have been your favourite products throughout the month of July?  Anymore books to recommend me (happy ones)?
