July Favourites (:

JULY!JULY!JULY! This year has gone so fast! When I look back, I honestly can't even remember what I've done, time really does fly. Anyways, instead of ramming on, ill just jump straight into my July Favourites!

Beauty Blender.

RRP: $24.95

Buy Here: - Crush Cosmetics

I haven't always been a huge fan of using sponges to apply my foundation cause it leaves my face very patchy, sticky and wears off. Seeing so many reviews on the beauty blender, that I honestly wanted to try it myself. To this day, I don't think I can live without it! Gives a great dewy finish without foundation lines, perfect coverage, gets right into the corners of your eyes. So easy to apply and I love how the sponge makes the foundation feel on my skin. Using this sponge has saved a lot of my foundation product, I just need one pump and it covers my whole face.

Toni & Guy Prep Protection Spray.

150.0ML - FULL SIZE.

RRP: $15.99

Buy Here: - Price Line

Before using, beware that there is a lock on this spray. I took me a month to notice that, I kept unscrewing the lid, just to use it. It's super easy to direct onto the hair, I spray on each section on my hair, while I straighten. This product has a sweet, honeydew smell to it, which wasn't the best at first, but I have gotten used to it now. It's very light / watery, doesn't have any stickiness or bulkiness while applying. I'm very happy with the results and how well it performs. Helps my hair look sleek, shiny and smooth. It actually does its job!

Essence Stay All Day 16HR Concealer.

8.0g - FULL SIZE

RRP: $4.25

Buy Here: - Price Line

For a very cheap concealer, it does amazing! I tend to use this only on days that I want a full coverage under my eyes, due to dark circles, bags or just tried eyes. The texture is very thick and creamy, so applying just a little would do the trick. I apply in dots, then use my beauty blender to dab into my skin. A few people use this before their foundation, but I've found that I get more results by applying it after my foundation & powder. So the look is still fresh. It smooths on nicely and does live up to 16HR, even more. Definitely lightens up my eyes, makes them look bigger and more awake.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow

RRP: $6.95

Buy Here: - Maybelline

love!love!love! I never cared much about my brows, don't get me wrong, I did shape them / wax. But it was the whole fill them, add colour, make them look longer etc. I was always like that's stupid, until I received this as a freebie item from a makeup site. At first I wasn't to sure about how they looked, didn't know how much to fill in, how dark I should apply it. It was almost so hard for me. Haha. But after awhile, I got the hang of it. Small lines, darker in the arch, longer on the ends. It ended up looking clean, neat and gorgeous looking. I loved how it looked natural. It was super easy to apply and I loved the comb at the end to help define and shape your brow. Most importantly it is very long lasting and doesn't smudge which is perfect for me because I work in retail, with long shifts.I need something that won't come off when I sweat, plus it is very affordable comparing to other brands. 

So that's it for my July Faves, hope you all enjoy August! Can't wait to discover more products through out this month. Xox

INNOXA: Tinted Moisturiser SPF 15

I have used and tried many tinted moisturisers before and most have never been as great in results until I decided to try Innoxa. Over the past years my skin tone has changed an gone quite pale. So having a back up tinted moisturiser is a great way to even out your skin.

INNOXA

Tinted Moisturiser SPF 15

30ML - FULL SIZE

RRP: $19.95

www.innoxa.com.au

" Innoxa Tinted Moisturiser SPF 15 is a lightweight moisturiser that offers a hint of colour and SPF 15 sun protection. The tinted moisturiser also contains vitamin E to hydrate and nourish skin, leaving it feeling smooth and soft. Available in Nude Beige, and Honey Glow "

I apply this to my face first and allow it to soak in before putting foundation on. It's light weight on my skin, feels lovely and soft. It just glides onto my skin and is absorbed rapidly. Blends very beautifully with my foundation & evens out my skin tone. The texture is creamy and super hydrating with a hint of colour. It also has SPF 15 included which is just an exciting benefit!

I love that it is fragrance free, moisturising with vitamin E, isn't greasy nor drys your skin out, and hides blemishes. I honestly can't believe I found such a natural, sheer effect tint moisturiser that enhances your features without getting the caked up look. I have already recommended this product to so many people, and gotten amazing results off them too. It's my holy grail tinted moisturiser.

Nude By Nature: Undercover Airbrush Mineral Primer

When it comes to beauty and makeup, a few of my favourite youtube gurus always seem to talk about prime your face before applying foundation cause its meant to help your makeup smooth on nicely and give you a flawless look. I have never really used a primer before as I honestly don't think I need to use one, as my makeup sits right through out the day all the way to midnight. So I never spent money on buying one, but when Priceline had their beauty bag deal, this Nude By Nature Undercover Airbrush Mineral Primer was included and I decided to give it a shot.

Nude By Nature

Undercover Airbrush

Mineral Primer

RRP: $29.95

Priceline - Australia

The website reads:

" Start your application with your primer. It’s the perfect way to prepare the skin, nourish and protect using Papaw, Vitamin E, Green Tea, to fill pores and lock on your make-up for all day wear " 

This primer is very thick, smooth, rich and applied quite nicely. It was between mid light weight to almost heavy on my skin. It did have a very strong, unusual smell which turned me off the product and would leave my fingers smelly. I left the product on my skin for roughly 3-4 minutes for it to set in before applying foundation. Within a couple of minutes, my skin felt sticky and was hard to apply and spread my foundation over the top. I did apply some powder on top, which gave me a flawless matte coverage. Which is something I really do like. After a few hours, I noticed that my makeup started to fade away and made my makeup look awful and oily. I was at work so I couldn't redo my makeup besides keep touching it up. At one stage, my face started to burn across my forehead and cheeks that I just had to remove my makeup.

Overall, I'm very glad I didn't spend money on purchasing this primer as its honestly not worth the price tag. I'd never consider buying them due to the experience I had. Although everyone has different skin types, and may have different experiences towards this product but this just wasn't for me.
