July Favorites

Hi my loves xoxo

So July flew by in the blink of an eye and I cant believe it's August already. I love the summer, I love the sun and my flipflops but then again I also love layering up for Autumn, it gives me an excuse to wear comfy boots and buy loads of dark berry and purple lipsticks. I didn't get a chance to buy loads of make up and clothes in July so I'm going to include some hair-care and skincare products as well that I loved.

1. Clean and clear Advantage spot treatment

This little treasure has been my life saver for some time now. I have been using it for a few months and all I can say is holy cow! I'm always a bit apprehensive about using some so called "miracle creams" but this one does exactly what it says on the tube. If you feel an angry little spot trying to rear its head just whack some of this gel onto it and within 4 hours the redness has reduced significantly and the swelling will have gone down as well. Worth the €5.99 price tag? Without a shadow of a doubt.

2. Neutrogena visibly clear blackhead eliminating cleanser

So sticking with facial care this little gem has been part of my daily routine for about 4 weeks and the difference in my skin is amazing. I have never had very bad skin but sometimes I can have random breakouts as we all do but incorporating this cleanser into my morning and evening routine keeps my skin fresh and deeply cleansed. Its my first time using anything from Neutrogena but I reckon this cleanser will be repurchased in the future. 

3. Hask Argan Oil Treatment

I found this little gem in my local Penney's a while ago and it saves my hair every day. I apply a euro size drop to wet hair after shampooing and conditioning and massage it through the ends and Ta Da, gorgeous silky locks. It reduces drying time because it absorbs some of the moisture into your hair which helps to keep your hair frizz free and smelling gorgeous. I buy this in bulk, I'm completely addicted.

4. Marks and Spencer Long line Kimono

I bought this Kimono a few weeks ago and I'm loving it. Its lightweight and so easy to wear. It can be worn with a dress or jeans and a top. It is very versatile and gorgeous on. Its priced at €59 and is still available to purchase in stores.

5. Urban Decay Naked Illuminated Highlighter

I did a review about this in my previous blog post and I love it so much I had to mention it again. Need I say more??

6. Loreal Elvive Total Repair shampoo and conditioner

So those of you with coloured blonde hair know the struggle when it comes to finding a shampoo and conditioner that will keep your hair strong and healthy while not letting your colour fade dramatically. I have tried and tested quite a few shampoos and conditioners and I always keep coming back to Loreal. It has been my go to shampoo and conditioner for years and I have recently discovered this total repair restoring shampoo and conditioner and I have to say I wasn't disappointed. It smells delicious and has a really velvety smooth consistency. The shampoo lathers really well and leaves my hair squeaky clean. The conditioner is rich and moisturising and my hair feels nourished and strong. I will most definitely buy this product again. 

7. Twinings Salted Caramel Green Tea

This is kind of a random one but I had to give it a mention. I love green tea but it can get a bit boring drinking the plain one every day so I purchased this in Tesco a few months ago and it is amazing. I was a bit apprehensive about trying it but I heard nothing but great reviews so I bit the bullet and bought it. It smells divine and tastes even better. The smell of caramel is stronger that the taste which is good because its not overly sweet and you don't need to add sweetener, honey or lemon to it. Its perfect just the way it is. Brew it for 2 minutes and enjoy. 

So that's about it for my monthly favourites for July. I'm going to spoil myself for my birthday this month and buy some nice things that I don't really need but must have in my life so hopefully I'll have a whole bunch of things to review next month. If there's anything that you would like a review of just let me know, I love trying new things and giving my honest opinion on them. 

Love 

Kim xoxo
