July Favourites

 Along with my beauty favourites, I thought I'd share with you some other things I love also. Beauty first, of course! :)
Just 5 products to show you.

ColourPop Lippie Stix in Lumiere

What a popular brand ColourPop has become. I couldn't let the hype go by without trying some products for myself. Because I have been trying a lot of lipsticks on for blog purposes, I only had the chance to try "Lumiere" once. I fell in love with this mauve brown shade instantly. Stay tuned for a review of ColourPop in the near future, which of course will include swatches.


This concealer has been helping reduce the look of my dark under eye circles. The peach really works to neutralize the darkness. Being a colour corrector, I wear this under foundation. I still use a concealer on top of my foundation, but it's more to highlight the area under my eyes,

 
L'Oreal Delicioux Blush in "Golden Apricot"

 I've rediscovered my love of this blush. I like how it adds warmth to my cheeks, giving a bronzed peachy flush of colour. I find it very flattering.

I have been using this little bottle everyday for so many purposes. Mineral water and a few drops of lavender are the only ingredients in this DIY spritz. I use it after I tone, a setting spray and a foiling medium for eye shadows. Easy to make and cheap, too!
 Be Enlightened Diffuser in Vanilla

This diffuser smells so yummy. Caramel, chocolate, vanilla such a delicious blend. It's a wonderful Winter fragrance for the home. Lasts for months and really does permeate throughout a room. Looks nice, too!



I've been powering through Hart of Dixie. It's difficult, because I want to watch episode after episode, but will be sad when I get to the end. It is light entertainment, a great way to unwind and relax.

I was impressed by 2 movies I saw in July, Whiplash and Still Alice. Both definitely worth watching.


My fave song of July would have to be "Like I'm Going To Lose You". I feel sorry for anyone in the immediate radius of these tunes, I can't help but sing along, the eternal romantic that I am. Thankfully, I play the song really loud, so it drowns out most of my wailing, lol.

    What a great post! I think I'm the last person on earth to try colour pop as I still haven't! I'll have to see if Netflix in Canada has the Hart of Dixie... I've heard a few people say it's a good one and I need something I can sink my teeth into! ;)

    Great favourites! I really do need to get a diffuser for my bathroom! I love entering a beautifully scented bathroom, or any room for that matter!

      Thanks beautiful lady! I can't get away with swatching heaps of lipsticks, so it's a pain how long it takes to complete a blog post when wearing a lipstick a day. Hopefully, I'll have it up soon xx

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
