July Favourites

...I feel like I've got some explaining to do...

I'm sorry for the lack of posts this months, I actually had loads of posts planned and then I was extremely busy before I went away to Greece. When I got back I was having a rough time in general and I couldn't bring myself to blog. I didn't want to write anything half heartedly and give you bad content with little effort so I decided best thing to do was wait but I'M BACK NOW with My July Favourites.

This month I have a few random favourites as well makeup and clothing so lets get started...

My first favourite is the Boujois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder (£7.99) which quite frankly I think every single beauty blogger and youtuber has talked about. I've been holding off buying this bronzer as I was quite happy with my sleek contour kit but I dropped it and was forced to go out and buy a new bronzer. I totally agree with the hype that comes with bronzer and its perfecting for contouring and all round bronzing. I have the shade 52 and it comes in one lighter 51. It has tiny gold flecks which I honestly don't think are very noticeable which is what I enjoy about it. I believe the hype comes with it smelling like chocolate but don't rush out in hope your face will smell like a Cadburys bar because it wont, I think it smells more like muted cocoa butter mixed with vanilla.

My next favourite is the Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in Gold Bronze. I'm in love love love love with that Kardashian glow so I've been using a mixture of the lightest shade and second to darkest on my Real Technique Setting Brush on the top of my cheekbones and OH BOY I feel like a Kardashian/Jenner goddess all glowy yasss!! This is the perfect way to achieve that summer glowing from within look. I honestly will probably still be wearing this in the winter.



On to clothing, I've been wearing a lot more dark colours when I say "dark colours" I mean black, channelling my inner Wednesday Addams* in the middle of summer is obviously not ideal especially with the weather we're having in the UK at the moment but its a thing. I have acquired that 'look like I'm trying really hard when I'm really really not look'.

I don't have clothing items in particular as I've been wearing quite a mixture of different things but my favourite store this month have definitely been Brandy Melville. I love Brandy Melville because the clothes are so soft and stretchy. I love that the clothes are all very simple yet quirky also its inexpensive. (Although I do suggest if you want to buy a lot, go to the store, try the things you like on and order them from the American website as its cheaper but it will obviously take some time). I plan to do a few outfit of the day posts or switching from summer to autumn outfit ideas with some of the items I've bought so like I always say make sure you stay tuned for that.

Now since I'm a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog I thought I'd show actually include some of my lifestyle favourites. I've honestly had more random favourites this month then beauty and fashion related favourites so I thought it was only right to include the things I've been enjoying.

My first 'random' favourite has been Glee, I used to watch Glee religiously when it was on E4 then it moved to Sky and I stopped watching for a while but now I'm hooked every Tuesday at 9pm I'm there. It brightens my mood and I've recorded the series so I can go back and watch my favourite episodes  again! (Is that sad? Okay moving on...)

My next 'random' favourite of the month has been lemon, everything and anything with lemon in it, I'm obsessed. Since I went to a restaurant in Central London and had a still lemonade that is all I want, that and lemon sorbet. Also I love Fanta Lemon but the European version, the English version called 'Icy Lemon' does not taste like lemons and I was HIGHLY disappointed and I do not recommend it.

I have decided to keep my blog running frequently, I'm going to write blogposts and schedule them so I'm going to have a new blog post every other Monday with a Friday post in between.

I hope you enjoyed reading about this months favourites and I'll see you in my next post xo
