Beauty | July Favourites


Wow July has really flown by! It's been such a busy month that we have been busy every weekend which is good but it does make the time go by faster. We are also away from Thursday through to Monday this weekend as we are off up to Cumbria to visit my family. I can't wait for some relaxation and fresh air! So here are my favourites from July :)

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser ~ It goes without saying that this has been my go to base throughout this hot, humid weather we have been having lately. It stays on pretty much all day, it super light and doesn't break me out. I don't know what it is about this tinted moisturiser but it really makes my skin glow! You can read my full review here

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain ~ I have this in the shade Darling and I think it is perfect for everyday lips. They smell slightly minty which is quite refreshing when it's warm out. I love the packaging and it's pretty much a copy of the Clinique Chubby Sticks and comparing the two I think the formula of the Chubby Sticks is slightly nicer but the price difference makes the Revlon version a lot more appealing! 

Benefit One Hot Minute Face Powder ~ This has been collecting dust at the bottom of my make up bag for a while but I rediscovered it this month as I am almost out of my beloved NARS Laguna Bronzer. It is the perfect product for a healthy summer glow and it works great with naturally pale skin. 

Boots Botanics All Bright Cleansing Toner ~ I have been trying out different toners to see how they work with my skin and this one is the best yet for my combination skin. At £2.69 for a bottle you can't really go wrong! This toner helps to tighten pores and brighten skin as it contains hibiscus extract. This little flower contains natural AHAs which acts as a mild exfoliator leaving skin smoother and brighter. 

REN Mayblossom & Blue Cypress Balancing Facial Cleansing Gel ~ I am in love with REN skincare at the moment, this cleansing gel has been a saviour for my troubled skin during the hot weather. I was suffering from mild breakouts and just a general 'clogged' feeling so I decided to treat myself to some new skincare to cheer myself (and my skin) up! It is really gentle and refreshing to use. I honestly noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my skin from the first use. My breakouts were diminished and my pores appeared smaller. It balanced out my skin brilliantly ~ if you have combination/ oily skin I highly recommend giving this a try!

Dove Summer Glow Gradual Tanner ~ My go to self tanner during this lovely weather we have been having. It looks so natural that I have had a couple of comments about how brown my legs looked! I promptly recommended the Dove Gradual Tanner. It is such good value for money and leaves you will a lovely, natural looking tan.
