Hi everyone,
So as you can tell by the title, today's blog post is going to be my monthly favorites. July has honestly been my favorite month so far this year and I am still so excited for some more sun.

Real Techniques Makeup Brushes// As you may know I got these for my birthday and ever since I have been obsessed. I got the core collection for my birthday and I bought myself the expert face brush. My favorites have been... (From left to right on first picture)
- Buffing Brush
- Contour Brush
- Expert Face Brush
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation// If you follow my instagram you will know that I have had two dance shows in July and this foundation was my rescue. I don't wear foundation on a day to day basis but on special events this is my favorite to use. It just does so much but looks so natural and dewy.
MUA Prime and Conceal Palette// I bought this near the beginning of July and I have just fallen in love with it. I love the concept of having 4 different colored pigments to help counteract each problem that could possibly be on your face. I would really recommend this for any beginner.
MUA Lip liner in Red Drama// Again I don't wear lip liner every day (especially not red!) but again this was a necessity for my show. The pigmentation, staying power and price, you just can't go wrong. This was £1 and I need to go back and get some more everyday shades.
Skincare/ Body care
Montagne Jeunesse face masks// I have been obsessed with these. They are so affordable and are just great for a pamper night. This brand just works great with my skin. My favorite face masks are the mud ones, I am using the chocolate one at the moment.
Zoella Scrubbing me softly body scrub// I got this, again, for my birthday and I am in love with it. It is quite harsh but I only use this once maybe twice a week and I will have to repurchase it.
The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Body Butter// I have three body butters from the Body Shop but they are all different formulas and this is my favorite by far. This is only a mini but I need the full size because it is honestly just amazing.
Garneir Micellar Cleansing Water// This was 99p from home bargains, and since I really wanted to try it I bought the mini. everyone raves about this and I have to agree, it is a great makeup remover. I have nothing to compare it to as this is the first micellar water I have ever tried but I need more. Will deferentially need the full size.
Neutrogena hand cream// This has been a new discovery of mine as I had ran out of all my hand creams, so this was the first one I found that I was intrigued in. I wasn't expecting big things but WOW! this is great. It is very thick as it is medicated but every time I use this my hands just feel so soft.
Fashion
Michael Kors watch// I got this as a joint birthday and doing well in my exams present and I am honestly so grateful I was bought this. I have worn this every day possible and I have had so many complements on it. I am just so in love with it.
Joma Jewelry Bracelet// For my birthday my best friend got me this bracelet and I am in love with it. I don't know if you can see by the picture but it is a little tree and silver. I have worn this non-stop since I got it. It goes with everything and just looks so cute.
Random
Soother// I actually lost my voice a few days before my birthday and for about a week I had a rusty voice, but I am all better now. Soothers were recommended to me for my throat and I am not saying they helped but I even eat them now as I have been that person that always has a sore throat. The blackcurrant are deferentially my favorite.

TV
TV
Love Island// This month I have just been addicted to this show. It was on ITV and ran for six weeks. I managed to catch up a few weeks after it started and I have just fallen in love with each person in their. I can't even recommend you this program enough. It is not scripted but if you like shows like Gordie shore and TOWIE, you would love this.
People
Jake Boys and Emily-Victoria Canham // I have discovered both very recently but I just can't get enough of both their vlogs and main channel videos. They are honestly relationship goals and I feel like I know them even when I don't. If you ever need cheering up just watch both of their daily vlogs.
Years and Years// In case you didn't know I went to Radio City Live in Liverpool in July and Years and Years were performing. I liked a few of their songs but as soon as they came on stage I just felt and immediate connection. The lead singer Olly Alexander, looked so adorable on stage in a over-sized jumper and ice blonde hair and they sang three songs which were my three favorites. Now I am just going to buy all of their albums.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Leave a comment telling me any blog post ideas you have for the summer and hopefully I will try and upload more than once a week.
