July Favourites

Well we are past the halfway point in the year and  we have all heard the obligatory statement on how fast the years gone by now, So here is some of the things I have been loving in this last month. 

As the year is whizzing by (yes i said it) the Uk weather seems to be giving us a little more sunshine than we are used to!  This makes it so hard fo us british folk who are not prepared for such weather, my saviour in this hot weather has been the No7 intelligent colour foundation. This foundation is amazing for hot summer days! normally reserved for my holiday makeup bag it has made an appearance already this summer. It gives you coverage while being lightweight and mattifying that you don't feel as though you have anything on. It has a built in SPF as well to  help protect you against the sun so perfect for these heat waves that keep making an appearance!

I love summer fragrances for this time of year something fresh and fruity is right up my street so I am obsessed with the Body Shop virgin mojito scent! I love all body shop products and my usual go to scent is anything strawberry but this has to be my go to summer scent it's fresh and slightly zingy with the lime twist I love it I am constantly getting complimented when I am wearing this. 

My body seems to react differently to the hot weather, well any weather to be honest. So I find myself having dry lips at this time of year more often so I have found myself reaching for the Dr Paw Paw lip balm! It's so lightweight and easy to apply perfect to throw in your hand bag or in my case in my pocket at work.  ​

This time of year I tend to wear a lot of different outfits to keep up with the weather and what it decides to do that day. I find it hard to find a nail polish that is right for every outfit but I have been reaching for my Essie polish in  Vanity Fairest. A simple nude it perfect for every occasion I can just do a one coat from a light coverage for work or build it to  nice nude for those perfect summer days. It's a great formula and I have seen an improvement in my nails since using this polish. 

One thing i love about this time of year is wearing my hair up! I have thick hair so it's amazing on those hot sunny days to have it out of my face, I find this gives me the chance to up my earring game as well. I have become more and more obsessed with earrings over the last month anything from a simple stud for work or a tassel for a more boho feel or even a hoop to dress up a simple outfit. These are my go to accessories and even on the hot days don't bother me too much.
