Top 3: July 2014

Hello again!

I really am bad at this blogging business aren't I? It seems that literally everytime I publish a post, something happens that sets me back. It really has been a stressful few months, and in hindsight, maybe not the best time to have started a blog!

Anyway, instead of doing monthly favourites (I don't think I try enough new products every month) I've decided to concentrate on the most reached for products of that particular month. And so on with July...
 
 

My number 1 for this month has definitely been High Beam by Benefit. This has been in my collection for a while, but I rarely use it. I find when used as a traditional highlighter on top of my make-up its too light, so Sun Beam compliments my skin tone much better. Recently though, I've been mixing some in with my foundation and mixing together before applying, and this gives a gorgeous subtle dewy effect which is perfect for the summer months. I prefer matt foundation, so this means I can modify it and save myself some money too! 
 

In light of the amazing weather we've been having, I've taken to substituting my usual black eyeliner with the Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Smog, which is a shimmery brown with a slight gold undertone. As with all of the 24/7 liners, it is soft, creamy and has amazing staying power. I jusy love how it adds definition to your eye look without being too harsh and goes perfectly with a gold smokey eye.
 

 

I've only used my last product twice, and want to do a full review once I've given it a proper road test but I just had to include it because I was so impressed with the results after just one use. These are easily the best whitening product I have ever used, even more so than paying over £300 at a clinic! Watch out for that review soon!
