July Favourites | 2012

It's that time of month! ...not that time of month, rather the time where your subscription feed on Youtube is filled with July Favourites videos and well, who am I to not give in and succumb to the popular tag? Yes, I have joined the "Favourites" craze. July, for one, was a very eventful month for me, lot's of birthdays, mine included, and with that came lots of products that I was able to try. OUU EXCITING. I want to share some of the products that I got to try out and love this month, and as for those that I tried out and hated, the most they'll get is an honourable mention in the "Product's I regret buying" video that I'll make sometime this year, once I gather quite a few products obviously.

I'll link the video at the end but because I'm super amazing I snapped some photos for you lot* :) (*the british slang is getting to me... I blame the Olympics)

I guess the Olympics aren't entirely to blame seeing as I have an odd obsession with London already. My friend Esther, knowing this about me, got theses sticky notes for me as a part of my birthday present. I adore these! So cute and although I haven't used them too much, they're a July favourite because of the joy it brings me to see these on my work desk everyday! Insta-Happy-Mood

My next July favourite is Coconut Oil. I somehow deleted the photograph I had of the Coconut Oil container, so if you wish to see it, along with a representation of how well it removes makeup check out the video I will attach down below. I LOVE this product!!! I have Brooke from the Golden Fox to thank for introducing me to this product. She had kindly allowed me to use this during the second semester of school when I would sleepover and need a make-up remover. I had since wanted to purchase a tub of my own and upon researching it, I discovered the many benefits of using Coconut Oil. I could list so many benefits and talk for ages on the many uses but I think I'll just film a coconut oil video soon so you can all see! :)

Ahhh, the Tokidoki Las Vegas Palette, a lovely (well needed) gift from my friend Audrey! I've been loving this product! I use the white eyeshadow as a highlight for my brow bone and cheeks and it works just beautifully.  It doesn't make my face sparkly, a perfect highlight (when you use a small amount of course)! The blusher (again with the British slang) is such a gorgeous pink/coral colour! A nice shade for the summer! I wish I could rave about the other eyeshadows but I haven't used them much, I'll let you know how I get on.

SWATCHES: (because I'm awesome and took some for you)

The next product that I'm raving about this month is the L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara. Long name but beautiful on the eyes. It really does extend my lashes more than it gives "volume" and although I can find the formula to be a LITTTLE drying on my lashes, it does the job. Mix it with another volumizing mascara and you'll have long full lashes for sure! The packaging is absolutely gorgeous as well! Très YSL, without breaking the bank. I don't understand why all mascara's don't come in pretty reflective gold packaging, it's so luxurious!

Up next in the July Favs post we have the Maybelline 24 hour Color tattoo... Yes you read that right, color. I bought this in the states when I went for a little shopping visit. Now I've heard a LOT about this product for months now and for some reason I've only thought about trying it out now... biggest mistake. I wish I could of  had this sooner... keep in mind I probably bought the ugliest colour in the collection and I STILL love it. Because the colour isn't exactly the best I've been using it as a base/primer under some eyeshadows. I hope I can buy more in the future, although it seems like the nicer colours don't stay on the shelves for  too long.

SWATCH:

Oh dear, the Rest of my July Favourite pictures seem to have gone missing as well... I apologize for that but they are luckily all featured in my July Favourites video, which I will post down below:

(please excuse my nasal voice... I was recovering from a cold)
