My July Beauty Favourites


I’d thought I’d put together a listing of the products I've been loving in July.

Botanics Serum & Radiance Balm

I've been using these two every day since I bought them.  The serum day & night and the beauty balm under my foundation.  I've noticed a big difference in my skin.  My skin is brighter and smoother in appearance. I've done a review on the beauty balm (Click Here). I'm definitely going to do another review on the Serum. I'm definitely going to pick up more from this range. Both these can be bought @ Boots

           


L’Oréal True Match Foundation

I had long forgotten this foundation, I had it stashed in the back of a drawer never to be seen again.  I have fallen back in love with it.  During this summer in Ireland he haven’t had the best of weather, some days have been really humid and I found my face getting very shiny.  This foundation however seems to last really well on me.  It also give me a decent amount of coverage while feeling lightweight on the skin. Can be bought @ Boots



Seventeen Define & Conquer Contour Palette

I love this palette, so compact.  Easy to travel with.  I especially like the highlight shade for setting my undereye concealer.  The powder is matte and brighten up the area.  When I use this I never have a problem with creasing under the eyes.  This can be bought @ Boots


Real Techniques Contour Brush

I picked this up in Boots, all makeup brushes had an offer on to buy one get one half price. It quite a dense contour brush.  I dip the side of it into the product to place down my contour and as the brush is quite full it makes blending out a dream. Can be bought @ Boots


La Roche Posay Effaclar Gel

This is a foaming gel cleanser.  It leaves my skin feeling so clean after using it. It eliminates impurities and excess oil.  It also contains an anti-irritant and is PH Balanced.  It is also soap free, alcohol free, colorant free and Paraben free.  If you have combination or oily skin this is your savoir. This can be bought @ Boots


Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment

Unlike other hair treatments this focuses on nourishing the roots & follicles thus encouraging hair growth.  I've been using it nearly all of July, but not long enough to say that yes it has helped my hair growth but definitely has improved the condition of my hair. Can be bought @ Boots



Mac Warm Neutral Palette

I picked this up a couple of months ago while shopping at the Loop before a holiday.  It was slightly discounted at duty free.  I have fallen in love with this.  I use it everyday.  I'm going to do a full review with swatches of all the eyeshadows.  Yes it's a little on the pricey side but if you pick this up you won't regret it.  Can be bought @ Brown Thomas


All my links above will take you directly to the products shown.

Let me know what you have been loving in July?  Or if you would like me to do a full review on any of these.

  2. There are some really great products here. I have been loving all of my Butter Londons this summer. I've been wearing very minimal makeup so just mascara and lips is it!

  6. Great favourites. I really like RT contour brush however I tend to use it more for my foundation needs :) I only just recently jumped on a wagon with True Match but first impressions are quite positive. It's difficult for me to find that perfect foundation as I have a very dry, dehydrated skin so everything normally sets in on the nasty dry bits lol
