July Favorites

These are my favourite beauty products of the month. I like watching these types of videos on YouTube so I thought I'd make a blog version.

This eyeshadow pallet that I got sent when I ordered a subscription from 17 magazine has been something that I use quite often. I especially love the colour that has the big dent in it, it's a beautiful gold bronze colour that is perfect summer.

This is the brush for Maybelline's Falsies Volum' Express mascara in the water proof formula which has been great for summer. I also really like the colour of the packaging. 

This Essie nail polish called Turquoise and Caicos is definitely talked about a lot and I see why. It's a beautiful colour! Paired with this Aziza clear polish for a base and top coat it lasts for a good week without needing to change it.

In the background of this picture is Joico's Daily Care Conditioning Shampoo which I only just discovered this month and I'm glad I did 'cause it makes my hair look and feel good.

These two peach coloured/flavoured products have been my favourite lip products for the month of July. On the left Maybelline's Shine Sensational lip gloss in Peach Sorbet and on the left Revlon's lip butter in Peach Parfait. They are both natural colours but give your lips just the right amount of colour.

Winter Reading

I love having books that you can look at over and over again like the Seventeen Ultimate Guide To Style and Parisian Chic. The Seventeen book is more just a flip through book because it's mostly just pictures. I find it really great for fashion inspiration and cool ideas. The only problem is that it really makes me want to go shopping and buy a lot of clothing. 


Parisian Chic to the fashionistas guide to Paris. It has cool places to shop, eat, and stay in Pairs. It also has lots of fashion and beauty advice as well fun quirky illustrations. 

When Life Gives You Lemons Give Yourself Highlights

This week I tried out some recipes for my hair that I found in Seventeen magazine. One of them was to make my hair lighter and the other was to make it wavy. So below I'll give you the recipe and tell you how it worked on my hair. 

The first recipe's goal was to make my hair wavy like I had just spent a day at the beach, it worked it just made my hair a bit dry and frizzy though. 

Instructions

1. Put 1 cup of water in a spray bottle.

2. Add 1 tsp of sea salt in to the water.

3. Shake well and spray through your dry hair.

4. Scrunch your hair to create the wave.

The second recipe was to make my hair lighter and give it highlights. I don't think it worked that well but I think it made a bit of a difference.

Instructions

1. Squeeze the juices of a lemon, lime, and orange in to a spray bottle.

2. Add a dollop of conditioner.

3. Shake well and spray on wet hair.

4. Sit in the sun for 30 minutes with it on your hair.

5. Rinse off. 

I think these are definitely worth trying even if they don't work out perfectly.
