July Favourites

I don't have too many favourites to show you from July as I was so busy during the month with my trip and the like. I know this post is going up a tad late but I thought you guys would still like to see what I've been liking lately. All the products I'm going to mention are new finds for me par one which is an old favourite of mine.

Here are three makeup products that I've been loving during the month of July. They are all new finds for me, two of which I brought to Manchester with me. I was glad I brought Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain with me as I ended up using it constantly. I have the shade Honey which is a gorgeous everyday shades that is easy to pull off. I also found this product to be quite moisturising aswell which is definitely a positive as I get very dry lips during the Summer. Another product I brought to Manchester with me is MUA's Undressed palette*. There are twelve lovely shades which were perfect for daytime and nighttime looks. I brought two eyeshadow palettes on my trip but I only ended up using this one for the duration. I already did a full review on Undressed while I was on holidays which you can see here. Lastly my newest find was Maybelline's Colossal Volum' Express mascara, it's amazing. I'm a big fan of mascaras from this brand so I was surprised I hadn't tried this one before now. It was half price when I bought it, at €6 I couldn't complain. It has a ginormous brush which coats all my lashes leaving them looking big and bold, without clumping. I'm going to repurchase this again when I run out.

I'm a big fan of Kiehl's and I've gotten on well with the majority of products I bought from them in the past. I was pondering whether to buy their Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter for a while as it's expensive but I'm glad I caved in the end. This is one of the nicest body butters I've tried, it's very thick but a little bit goes a long way as it spreads alot. The product itself leaves my skin feeling so soft. Did I mention how lovely this smells? The next time your in Kiehl's you have to give it a whiff it has the nicest sweet scent. Onto my haircare favourite of this month, TRESemme Keratin Smooth Treatment Masque. I have quite damaged hair from years of straightening it to bits, it just looks so frizzy and I have the work scraggly ends you have ever seen. I've been using this masque twice a week in my hair and it literally works miracles. It leaves my hair looking healthy and sleek with no frizz in sight. I really want to pick up some more products from the Keratin Smooth range as I've gotten on so well with this. Another product I've been loving this month is Korres Guava Showergel, the only way I can describe this product is to say it smells like holidays and that's good enough for me. I have a mini bottle but I know you can get this in a large size too so don't be suprised if you see this in a haul in the near future. My last July favourite is YSL Elle, this is their special edition fragrance that comes out for the Summer. I've had this particular bottle for nearly a year now and I have a little less than a half a bottle left so its last me ages. I don't personally think it smells similar to the original Elle fragrance, it has a fruitier scent that I like more. This perfume only comes in a huge 90ml bottle which I never bring out with me as it would weigh down my handbag and I'd love ridiculous pulling it out. My solution for this is my nifty travalo, I'm not going to go into great lengths explaining what this is as you all probably know what it is already. I just find them super handy and they are not too pricey which is great.

What has made it into your July favourites?
