BEAUTY | July Favourites

Goodbye July, Hello August.

July brought the UK scorching weather (yes, really) and a whole new bunch of products we found a love for. Who knows what August will bring?

Teapigs Popcorn Tea - Like every British person, I love tea. And, like any born and bred Yorkshire woman, I love my Yorkshire Tea. Every so often I like to mix it up and try something new and last month I found a new love for Teapigs tea, especially the popcorn flavour. I decided to treat myself to three of the Tea Temples sample packs and out of the three I ordered, Popcorn was my favourite; a Japanese green tea infused with toasted rice which accurately represents the smell of the cinema in your home. 

Paco Rabanne 'Olympea' - Infamous for Lady Million, this new offering from scent master Paco Rabanne became a firm favourite amongst my perfume collection as soon as I purchased it. Trying to describe a scent is beyond my abilities, but trust me when I say this is beautiful. Every time I wear this I get compliments and just a few sprays in a morning, or before a night out, is all you need.

Maybelline Dream Flawless Nude Foundation - Well, this isn't a flattering image is it!? Apologies for this, I'm still trying to get to grips with my new camera and editing software. Throughout July, this has been my go to foundation. It's liquid, water like formula makes it a joy to blend, it gives a light coverage which can be easily built up and it lasts all day on the skin. When the weather was ridiculously warm, this was the only foundation I wanted to use and it didn't let me down!

Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Palette - Okay, I know this launched a while ago but throughout July it has been my go to palette for soft, everyday eyes or smoked out glam. My favourite combination is Baby over the entire lid, Anaheim in the crease and Punk blended into the outer corners, finished with Urban Decay's Bourbon 24/7 Liner on the bottom lid and in the top and bottom water line and lashings of black mascara. 

I hope you like my July favourites and have possibly even seen some of your own favourites in here.

What were you drooling over in July?
