.: July Loves...

Hello!
Haven't been here in a while! I've has a crazy hectic week so far getting ready to go on holiday with my friends so all I've done is write lists and over pack so far. So I thought I'd kick it all back off again with what I've loved during the month of July! I've got a variety of beauty and non beauty favourites so there's hopefully something here that will interest everyone. Enjoy!

BEAUTY

Benefit Gimme Brow- Oh how I have loved this. It's a tinted brow gel with a tiny little wand that you apply through your brows and it gives the most lovely looking full but not sharpied in eyebrows. I was sceptical about all these brow gels because my eyebrows are already.. prominent shall we say, so I was scared a tinted brow gel may look too much, but this is just right to fill any gaps or sparse areas.

Lancome L'Absolu Rouge lipstick- This is a mini lipstick I got in a gift set I got a while back but I only rediscovered this month and have been loving it. It's a sort of burnt pink colour (if that is a colour) with a sort of terracotta undertone to it. It looks lovely on the lips for everyday wear. The only problem is I don't know the colour Lancome have given it but the formula of these are really good so I can recommend any shade from that line.

Sleek 'A New Day' eye shadow palette- I have used this loads from everyday looks to going out so this palette can be very versatile. As you can tell I'm not into very vibrant colours so this palette just called to me with it's beautiful selection of nudes and browns. All of the shadows whether they be matte or shimmery are all really well pigmented and blendable plus the mixture of darker and lighter shades means you can mix and match looks.

Benefit cream eye shadow in R.S.V.P- as you can see there a theme amongst my eye shadows. I'm a sucker for a shimmery shadow. This is a gorgeous pink/rose gold shimmer and works lovely just by itself or as part of combination. It is so creamy and long lasting too; can't recommend it enough!

Benefit blush in 'Sugar bomb'- I have loved this ever since I got it for Christmas! It is split into 4 shades that together create a gorgeous natural looking glow that really compliments so many different skin tones. I know Benefit is quite expensive but personally all of the Benefit products I've featured in my favourites I would probably repurchase, particularly this because I have never found any other blush that looks better!

Hollister Solana Beach Mist- I got this for my birthday earlier in the month and have been obsessed with it every since. It smells SO nice and girly and lasts really well as well. It smells quite fruity but it also has floral hints plus a musk I can't really describe (I'm sorry I'm awful at describing scents!).

NON BEAUTY

Drawing- Ever since I've had more time on my hands finishing college I have had to find something to fill my time. I've always loved drawing and this month in particular I've really got back into it. Some of my favourite things to draw are mandalas. If you don't know what they look like here's an example...

These are so intricate and so fun to draw and when finished they look amazing!

Harry Potter- Now I could easily put this in every favourites post but July in particular I've been loving reading the novels. I not a keen reader, I always think I'm quite a slow reader but I just can't get enough of the books this month plus in a few weeks time we're all going back to Harry Potter world in London!!! I'M SO BLOODY EXCITED!
