| July Favourites |
 |
| Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick, Chante's Ecstasy & Bobbi Brown Flamenco |
Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick - Adds a shimmery hint of bronzy colour to cheeks and the individual colours also double up as sheer shadow shades too. Swatches here.
Becca Flamenco Pressed bronzing Power - I was lucky enough to pick this up in a sale recently for £6.00! It's a beautifully soft powder which adds a lovely, non orange, sun kissed glow to skin. Review and swatches here.
Chantecaille Ecstasy Blush - Is the first product I've tried from the Chante range. The colour is really pretty and the formula is fanatastic, incredibly soft, pigmented and long lasting. Swatches here.
 |
| Max factor False Lash & Becca Baroque & Vicuna |
Max Factor False Lash Effect - Adds a decent amount of volume and length to lashes and still looks fairly natural.
Becca Eye Tints - I'd been lemming a couple of these for quite a while and finally ordered a couple of shades this month (Baroque & Vicuna). Both are really pretty, natural shades and both work well as a base for other shadows. Swatches of both shades here.
 |
| EL Double Wear, Becca Gisella & Rosita |
Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - I haven't used Double Wear for a while because I've been happy with the Clarins Everlasting I've been wearing. I thought I'd give it another go this month though because the weather's been warmer and my skin's more oily than usual. I forgot how good this stuff is (it really doesn't budge and covers everything), but it does feel quite thick and heavy in comparison to Everlasting.
Becca's Gisella Sheer Tint Lipstick - You may have noticed that I haven't opened the tube in the photo and the reason for that is, there's barely anything left. I've worn and worn the soft, caramel shade since I bought it and now there's only a small nub of the lovely balmy lipstick left. I'll definitely be re-purchasing the shade when it does finally die on me. Swatched here.
What are your July favourites?
I don't know how I managed to live without that Max Factor mascara! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe shimmer brick looks gorgeous! :D
ReplyDeleteLove your favorites! The Becca gloss is so pretty!
ReplyDeletelove the palette, but here in Italy it's not easy to find Bobby Brown...
ReplyDeleteGreat POst :) I MUST get that foundation, im pretty sure im one of the only beauty bloggers on the planet who doesnt own it! everywhere I look i see great reviews, i get more and more convinced by the minute.

I always hear good things about the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation but I never tried it. maybe one day:)
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing so many positive things about Estee Lauder's foundation lol. I sound like Beautyshades. I want to try it, but considering I just bought NARS' I need to slow my roll. Awesome faves.
ReplyDeleteI have one of essense's dirt cheap sun club powders, that is basically a spot on dupe for the bobbi brown shimmer brick! Love it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wanted to try out that mascara, but now that you 've mentioned "natural", I won't, lol!! I like drama on lashes :))
You favorites are great! <3 I love BECCA too! :) I really want that mascara!
ReplyDeleteI think I may have to cave and get a bobbi brown shimmer brick! They always look so stunning! I've been loving my NARS blush in Orgasm this month.
ReplyDeleteLove your favs! As you know I am not a lip gloss fan, either, but I really do like my one Becca lip gloss. And, I almost hate to say it, but Chantecaille Brilliant Gloss is, well, brilliant! More like a liquid lipstick.
ReplyDeleteI love your list. I could wear every item on it. :)
Daisy - It's great stuff, isn't it? Will probably give the newer version (I forget the name) a go when this one runs out.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - It is pretty and it adds a nice shimmery, bronze colour to cheeks!
productdoctor - Rosita is a lovely shade! It's actually the only Becca gloss I own, will have to try out some of the other pretty shades on offer.
olly - Someone else mentioned that Bobbi Brown products were difficult to find in Italy. It's a shame, there are quite a few lovely products in the range!
Grace - It's really good stuff! Offers excellent coverage and holds up brilliantly (even on my oily skin). As I mentioned, it does feel a bit heavy though.
Beautyshades - It is nice if you like full coverage foundations. You should grab yourself a sample next time you're near a counter!
JC - Will look out for your review on the NARS foundation. I've heard lots of great things about their bases and have been thinking about trying them!
Y - The Shimmer Brick is nice, but also expensive and there does seem to be a lot of similar products out there which cost a lot less. I think I'll probably look for a cheaper alternative when it runs out (can't imagine it will anytime soon though!) Have you tried Dior's Black out mascara? You'd probably like that one if you're a fan of dramatic lashes :)
Laura - I know! You have some lovely Becca products in your collection! The mascara's pretty good stuff!
Kelly - If you like shimmery blushes like Orgasm, I imagine you'd like BB Shimmer bricks too!
Zuzu - I really like the sound Chantecaille's Brilliant Gloss! I already have a ridiculously long list of Chante products that I'm dying to try, will have to add these to it too!
Thanks for your comments everyone!
