July: New In Beauty & Monthly Favourites

We're back at that time of the month again: time for me to round up the products I've been loving and all the exciting new-in beauty launches. July has been a busy one with a lot going on but there's been some real stand out products for me this month, so this post has been a lot of fun to write! As well as this, not only have we had the longest and probably the most intense heatwave that the U.K can remember, we've also had the launches of some fab new goodies. So here's the July New In Beauty & Monthly Favourites...

There's A New Beauty Sponge In Town

When it comes to make-up tools, we all have our trusty favourites. We'll likely try new brands, new products and special tools for specific roles, but how often do we completely abandon our fail safe brands in replace of another? For me to replace a trusty product - whether a make-up applicator or product itself, it has to be outstanding. I've used a lot of amazing products over the years, but to push previous Holy Grail's aside and replace them, something has to truly shine and do it's job to an outstanding level.

Everyday Lash Essentials

Lashes are in my opinion one of the most important parts of our make-up routines. Good looking lashes can take you from a 2-10 instantly - that's how pivotal they are. Even when I'm going bare faced, I'll always have put something on my lashes before leaving the house. Seeing as the eyes are the window to our souls, why wouldn't you frame them?! Which is always my excuse when I buy more mascara or false lashes. No-one wants to be looking into a dull window right?! ...I'm joking, but seriously, good lashes will transform your whole face.

Getting Great Nails & Lashes On A Budget

I may be a high-end beauty addict, but one thing I love about blogging is that it's really opened my eyes to the drugstore brands. The last few years has seen the rise of the drugstore ranges as they battle to recreate top-end products with a third of the price tag. I have so much fun trying out drugstore brands these days because the quality is far superior to back in my teenage days when they weren't as good. Nowadays drugstore brands really do measure up, and not only that, but they also sometimes even exceed in quality. When this is the case, I'm the first person to shout about it, because to me, if you can pay less and get more, then there's no need to splurge the extra cash.
