July Favourites.

Hey Readers,
I hope the end of the month/start of the new month finds you well. Another month has passed really quickly and I really cannot believe its time to review my favourites and most used products for the month already. This month has been a big month in makeup for me,  I have bought a lot of new things so have been mixing up my makeup bag a lot in order to try them all but I also have been shopping my stash quite a lot as well. So it seems odd that I really don't have that many favourites this month despite this however I don't think Iv'e spoken about these products before so lets get to it!!!



NYX natural palette
I know I said in a previous post that I find it hard to put my chi chi palette away but half way through this month I decided to try something different and pulled this one out of the draw!! A combination of six neutral shades that I keep forgetting how much I enjoy using them. While I do have some issues with fallout from time to time these shadows are just so soft, pigmented and blendable that I enjoy using them every time.



Innoxa velvet blush powder in the shade Rose and Berry
I bought this recently when Innoxa had a sale for the end of financial year on their website. This palette has two blushes one matte with a peachy tone and the other pink that has a slight shimmer while I have enjoyed both this month the one I keep dipping my brush into is the more peachy shade. It gives a gorgeous natural flush to the cheek and pairs well with any eye look. These blushes are so soft, pigmented and blendable a little bit goes a long way and they last a long time on the cheeks.



Elf eye primer
This was a part of my recent purchases from iHerb and from my first try I have really been impressed with this primer. The doe foot applicator comes out of the tube with the perfect amount of product to prime both lids. The primer itself is soft and creamy, blends out easily, dries evenly, doesn't crease and it holds shadow all day long.



Youngblood pressed mineral foundation powder in the shade neutral
An old favourite of mine that I pulled out of my draw randomly this month, at the time I wanted a touch up powder with a mirror that would fit into a small clutch and this was the first I found. Again its a product I forgot how much I loved to use. Despite being a foundation powder which in the past I have used over a BB cream, I really primarily use this for touch ups. Being neutral it pairs with any foundation I may be wearing. A rice based powder it gives me oil control and like most mineral based powder products its light weight going on evenly and not looking cakey. I've really enjoyed it and cannot believe its been in my draw so long.



Dirty Works You Soft Touch Hand Cream
This has been tucked into my travel bag since I received it back in April's bellabox. I have used it on and off, but this month I really have been reaching for it. The weather here in Queensland has gotten cold and windy this month which combined with a job where I wash my hands a lot has caused them to dry out and crack so hand cream has become my new friend. This is such a great product smooth, light, dries quickly and doesn't leave your hands greasy.



Cotton Scarfs
These have been another winter favourite this month. I know I don't usually include a clothing item to my favourites but like my makeup these also something I have found myself reaching for this month. They are such an easy winter accessory. Two are from the brand banjo and matilda and the other is from Kmart they are soft, comfortable and easy to wear loving them for those days when I need to glam up a plain black or white long sleeve T, with jeans and boots.








So that is all for the month of July I hope you have enjoyed this post and the the new month is going well. Until next month happy reading and happy shopping!!
