Beauty Fashion and Lifestyle Favorites I Loved in July
Happy Friday! Snce it is the first of a new month and I haven’t done one of these in a long time I thought I would share a favorites post. I used to love these but I was using the same products for so long that there was no point in doing on every month. Now that I have new products I bought and I’m trying new products I’ve never tried before I thought I would share my July favorites with you. So here are some beauty fashion and lifestyle favorites I loved in July.
Beauty
Makeup
L’oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara – First makeup item I loved is this mascara. I’ve been using it since April and whenever I’m wearing mascara this is the one I reach for. I have really long lashes so this just makes them so voluminous hence the name and they last long and maintain the length and curl of my lashes.
NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Brunette – My favorite brow product so far. This makes such a difference in my brow routine. Well these two products have changed my brow game and I’m becoming more confident in doing my brows look pretty decent. I love the fine tip and it does a great job filling in my sparse areas in my brows.
Benefit Ready Set Brow Setting Gel – Another fave brow product and these two products together are my brow duo. They make me feel like I know what I’m doing with my brows. This clear gel sets them in place and doesn’t make them budge because my brow hair is crazy. It’s like hair spray for them and best thing is that it doesn’t leave the crunchy.
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge – Last makeup product is this sponge. I was using a Beauty Blender dupe I got in the Philippines.My dupe one was starting to not feel the best so I opened this and it has changed my makeup blending so much. I’m definitely going to buy a pack of these.
Skincare
Simple Micellar Make-Up Remover Wipes – For skincare I’ve developed a pretty decent skincare routine which I have a blog post about here. I’ve added to it and been using these to take off my makeup at the end of the night. I use these and they do a pretty good job in removing my makeup with just one wipe. Then I take my cleanser and a face wash after I use this and my skin is left smooth and makeup free. I got these a few days before I left Manila and I’m hoping I can find them in drugstores here in LA. I think I found some here though so that’s great.
Soap & Glory Puffy Eye Attack Turbo-Boost Hydragel – Next skincare addition that I have been loving is this eye gel. I didn’t have an eye gel in my routine and I knew it was missing so I picked this one up in Target here and I didn’t read any reviews on it but it looked pretty and I just decided to try it and turns out it’s amazing and does so well with my puffy eyes and dark circles. I apply it before bed and wake up with refreshed eyes.
Haircare
Kristen Ess The One Signature Shampoo & Conditioner – This has been my shampoo and conditioner duo and I love them. I needed a sulfate free shampoo and I love that for my hair and this was the first one I saw so I picked them up at Target again here and here. So far I love them since they smell amazing, leave my hair so soft and clean.
Wet Brush Paddle Hair Brush – I can’t believe I’m sharing a hair brush as a favorite but here it is. I’ve heard so many great things about the Wet Brush so I had to experience it myself and it is great. It does great for my hair and I love the color I picked to match my overall aesthetic.
Conair Infiniti Pro Ceramic Curling Iron 1-1/4 – I missed having a curling iron. I left mine at home as it was old so it was an excuse to buy a new one so I picked this one up from Target here again I bought so many of these things from Target. It is amazing and I love the bigger barrel so it gives me big and voluminous curls and the next day I get beachy waves that last so it’s been my most favorite product in July.
Fashion
Free People Silk Bow Barrette in Teal and Pink – Now to fashion favorites and one of my best purchases of the month. These hair buys I’ve been dying to buy. I featured it in my birthday wish list here and another wish list here and ever since then I’ve been lusting after them. I’m so happy to have them and they are just so me. I already styled the teal one here and I’m working on putting out me wearing the pink one soon.
Miniso Quilted Cross-body Bag – This bag has been my everyday bag since I bought it in April for my birthday. It was a little treat to myself as it was very inexpensive. It is so cute and the perfect size. It actually fits quite a lot in here and it’s just my everyday bag that I fill up and take everywhere with me.
LifestyleTV Show
Moving on to one of my favorite parts of my favorite posts. That is the lifestyle and I talk to you about my favorite music, TV shows, books and more. This month I have a few TV show faves.
Brooklyn 99 – First is this show. I saw a few posts about it on Twitter and how everyone was loving it. I actually never heard or seen anything about it but one twitter post kind of convinced me. SO a few days before my flight I started watching the first season and I was hooked honestly. That led me to downloading the rest of season 1, 2 and 3 on Netflix and I had them saved on my iPad for my flight to LA. It ended up entertaining me the whole flight and I just love the show. I watched all 5 seasons and so glad it got picked up as I do love the show.
Runner up shows that I am currently watching on Netflix are Friends. I’m on the last season and I’ve been slowly watching it since April. Next is The Crown and I’m on season 2 of that.
Music
As for music, I have quite a few favorites as well. The first album I’ve been loving is Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer. It’s the first album I’ve listened to of theirs and I am such a big fan now. I love the album and I’m so glad I discovered it on my Spotify as it was recommended to me. Next album is Camila Cabello and I just love it and I think I can say it is my summer album. I love literally every song and relate to so many of them. Whenever I’m waiting for an Uber or walking to the grocery store this is one of the albums I play and I just adore listening to it. Last one is a song I saw on Twitter and I loved the beat to it so I checked it out and now it is another summer song that I truly like listening to and it’s You Make Me by Anth and Conor Maynard. I had it on my Instastory the other day as well and it’s been playing non-stop. There are so many more good music though and I always love showing you my fave songs of the month.
That was my beauty fashion and lifestyle favorites I loved in July. I enjoyed sharing my favorites with you again. I’m still not going to make this a monthly thing but whenever I have a lot to say about the products I am loving then I will. I also should let you know that I filmed my monthly favorites for July as well and that is now up on my Youtube channel here. I had fun filming that and just chatting to the camera about these products and of course writing about them on here too. I hope you enjoyed beauty fashion and lifestyle favorites I loved in July. Let me know your favorite product of the month as well.
I’ve been wanting to try that mascara for a while now!
