July Favourites ….

As usual, it is a difficult decision to know what to put in to my monthly favourites.  These products I have been repeatedly using throughout July.

MEDIK8 VITAMIN C SERUM

I have been trying a variety of Vitamin C products recently, and I have liked all of them, but this serum is the favourite.  It sinks in to the skin, is not grainy like The Ordinary Vitamin C, and is in a dark bottle (to protect it from sunlight) unlike the Body Shop Vitamin C.

ESSENCE I ♥ EXTREME VOLUME MASCARA (WATERPROOF)

If you have been following me recently on Instagram/Twitter, you will know how I have been praising the Essence brand.  It is drugstore affordable and so, so good.  I have tried several of their mascaras (all good), but have favoured this one as it is waterproof.  It is very black, doesn’t flake or smudge and costs £2.80!

111 SKIN Y LIFT NECK AND DECOLLETE SERUM

I got this serum as part of a giveaway at SpaceNK when I visited Bath in early May.  It is really a beautiful serum and leaves my wrinkly neck feeling super smooth and soft.

CLARINS INSTANT LIGHT NATURAL LIP PERFECTOR IN 07 TOFFEE PINK SHIMMER

If you are a fan of a natural lip, then I would highly recommend this lip gloss.  It smells of toffee and has a very subtle hint of pink, and leaves lips feeling very mositurised.  I like to keep it in my bag for when I’m out and about.

NARS SHEER GLOW FOUNDATION IN FIJI

My favourite foundation at the moment is the Nars Sheer Glow in Fiji.  The perfect shade and cover for me and I finally got my hands on a bottle after months of trying to get hold of it.  It had been sold out everywhere.  A great foundation.

ESSENCE LIGHT UP YOUR FACE LUMINIZER PALETTE 10 READY, SET, GLOW

Another product from the Essence range – the Light up your Face Luminizer Palette, is totally gorgeous and all three shades are good, my favourite is the one on the left.  It leaves a beautiful glow on the cheekbones.

fullsizeoutput_3f3I can’t believe we will soon be heading in to August!  Still, the summer isn’t over yet – hope you all enjoy lots of sunny days ahead.
