My JULY Favourites!

We are into August, but here is my favourites from last month...




A Tattoo From Maybelline...

How could I not include Color Tattoos from Maybelline?  I reviewed them in my last blog post here & if you read it (I hope so!), you will know that I absolutely loved them!  They make your eyes look amazing with hardly any effort.  


Definite winner! 



Rimmel Lippie...

Now, I love a good nude lipstick, but I have to be careful, as if I go too pale with my colouring, I could look like what you would find on a mortuary slab!  So, its all about getting the right shade. 


I tend to stick to the pinky 'my lips but better' nudes but this time I went for a beige peachy '1960's' tone & I came across one from Rimmel in the Kate Moss collection.  And I must say Ms Moss picked very well with her range & number 43 seemed the perfect shade for me.  It's a really lovely colour, as I've already said & goes on very well & lasts quite a while.  A lovely creamy feeling & smells gorgeous - like sweets!  A great price point too at only £5.49 - whats not to love?


A Bit Of Sunshine From Olay...

So, I know I just said in my Rimmel lipstick review that I am a tad on the pale side, but I have been trying to get a bit of glow back in my face.  I know we're experiencing a bit of sun this summer in England but I haven't been on away on holiday yet, so I've had no time to 'full on' sunbathe, so I have to resort to the fake variety!  And this is where my next favourite comes in.  It's Everyday Sunshine by Olay.  It's an oldie but definitely a goodie!  I reach for it every summer without fail!



The shade I currently have is light (if I'm tanned I go for 'deep' to emphasize my tan) & it's great to give your skin a bit of a warm up & glow.

It contains SPF15 which is a plus too - its so important to protect your skin!  It glides on easy, feels wonderful on your skin & just smells of holiday!  

I will always love this!  More than just a moisturiser!


Forever Soft Lips...

I have reviewed this before (see here), so I won't go on but just to say it is still going strong & I love it! 

It's the Forever Aloe Lips with Jojoba which was gifted to me. 



With Aloe Vera, Beeswax & Jojoba, it keeps my lips super soft.  It's perfect & that is why it had to be included as a favourite this month - I just keep reaching for it!


And finally....


Brightening My Eyes With Origins

In a fairly recent beauty box, I received a little 5ml sample of Origins Ginzing eye cream.


I love beauty boxes - they are packed full of mini samples of beauty items you probably always wanted to try but don't want to fork out for the full size product incase you don't like it!   So this gives you a great opportunity to test them out.

So, back to the eye cream.  I'd always wanted to try the Origins Ginzing range but wondered if I wouldn't like it.  Well, this eye cream didn't really disappoint.

As it says on the packaging - it is refreshing on the skin.  It also promises to brighten & depuff.  The skin around my eyes isn't really puffy but is very dark & this cream did brighten it up a bit.  I do think that if I got the full size product & used it over a longer period of time, I would definitely notice a difference.

I will say though, that it does feel wonderful on my skin & really does wake up my eyes in the morning! 

A lovely product.


So, what did you love in July?  Have you tried any of these items before?  I'd love to know!
