July Favorites

Yes yes yes I've been MIA for a while but for the summer we have moved to the beach, so as you can guess the internet is pretty bad. But I've got a couple of posts lined up so there is a post ready whenever i'm able to. Anyway today I've got my July favorites! 

With it being summer I've got a great tan going on from days lounging at the beach and I've got a great cream. It's from a company called Galénic, and the product is called After-sun Enhancing Lotion. So as the name suggests it enhances your tan and has glitter in it to make your tan pop! I would recommend applying it with a glove (false tan glove) or something similar otherwise you end up with glitter on your hands and it's a nightmare to get off. It's sets beautifully not leaving you with that wet sticky feeling you get from putting cream on. It says you can put it on your face and body but honestly I wouldn't put this on my face due to the amount of glitter and it's quite a thick creamy lotion.


From the same brand I've been loving the All In One Beauty Perfection face cream. It's not called a BB cream, to me that's what it feels like. It's called a DD cream, although i'll be honest i'm not sure what the difference between a BB cream and a DD cream is... If you know the difference let me know in the comments, i'd love to know! It's light with minimal coverage ; It's got enough color to give me a little coverage – it's like my skin only better. It's not heavy on the skin and sets very quickly just like the tan cream. It's got SPF 25 in it which is an added bonus.

As it's hot I've hardly been wearing a full face of make up, besides there is no point working so hard on eye makeup just to hide it with sunglasses so I've not really bothered with it. But I have been loving my Kiko Milano lipstick in shade 801 – a beautiful subtle nude. It's got a great glossy shine to it and I love it. It makes my lips look amazing. I know mat is in right now but I feel it suits me better with a full make up look so i'm saving my new mat nude for when I actually put make up on again!

I've also been loving my W7 palette Cheeky. It's a bronzer, blush and highlighter palette. The first thing I have to rave about with W7 is the packaging! I own 4 palettes (including the face one) and the packing is gorgeous. They are in tin cases and I personally love them! The only let down in this palette is the hightlighter. It has no shimmer and is not very pigmented. If you love mat hightlighters then you'd probably like this palette, I just prefer my highlighter with a bit of shimmer! Oddly the bronzer and the blush are much more pigmented than the hightlighter but the bronzer has become my new favorite.

My favorite hair style this month (much like a lot of you) is two french braids. It's such a relief to have my hair off my face and tied back as the weather is incredibly hot, but it still looks cute. Especially considering my roots are coming through. I don't really know why but it looks way better in french braids than a ponytail or bun. My blonde hair and my dark roots just mix together and a french braid gives it a great effect.

This one isn't a beauty product, but I guess you could say it's beauty related as it's better for my health! This month I've been obsessed with drinking fizzy water. I've been drinking so much of it – possibly too much! I've been trying to avoid drinking soda so fizzy water has been the perfect replacement as one of the reason I love soda is the bubbles. Fizzy water provides that without the sugar!

Until then bisous!
