A few brushes I’ve been loving this month, The NYX Pro brushes are amazing, I mentioned these in my NYX haul here, and ive been using these non stop, I’m definitely thinking of getting some back ups of these, I’ve never loved eye brushes as much as these so thank you Sarah from ohitssare, if I hadn’t haven’t read her post on these I would never have even looked at them, they are the perfect eye brushes, and literally the only 3 I use and need. They’re so soft and aren’t scratchy, and blend shadow really easily, I would really recommend picking some up and trying these out.

Next is the Becca one perfecting brush, I actually got sent this one by becca but I had my eye on this for some time and I nearly picked it up when I was in America, So I was really excited when I received this. It’s a brush that can be used for liquid, cream and powders so really handy and saves you having loads of different brushes, as you can see It’s an odd shape and looks more like a contour brush, but I actually really like using this for foundation, highlighter and sculpting the face. Its made from goat hair so is really soft and gives a really nice airbrushed finish when applying foundations.

Lastly is the B. Fan brush that I picked up from superdrug, I was desperate for a fan brush as I actually didn’t own one, I know shock horror, I came across this shopping one day so I picked it up and I’ve been using it ever since, it really is a must have for applying powder highlighter. I’ve noticed such a difference with my highlighter and it applies so much easier now.

NYX strobe of genius highlighter palette, I picked this up from boots a while ago and I’ve been using it a lot this month. The bottom 3 shades are my favourites and the ones I’ve been wearing more, the formula of these highlighters are really nice, not chunky or anything, I always use fix + and spray my brush beforehand as I love an intense looking highlight, plus As I’m dry I don’t like applying loads of powder. This palette has a good selection and is really affordable for drugstore.

I also mentioned this in my NYX haul. I’ve  been loving this and I’ve  also mentioned this on snap chat. I never used to wear any eye primers but I’ve noticed such a difference since I’ve started using this, my shadow lasts all day, I’m so impressed.  I was noticing by the end of the day my lids would get really oil and most of my shadow Would come off so I needed to invest  in an eyeshadow primer and if like me you don’t know where to start I would really recommend trying this one first, it’s cheap And actually works!

Body shop drops of sun, I mentioned this In a pervious post and I’ve also been raving about these on snapchat as well but I really am loving these, I add them into my face creams and also my foundation, these are perfect for when I’m fake tanning. Just adding them into my foundation helps to match the rest of my body. It really does give you a nice tan and glow, they don’t make you look orange either which is a bonus. This has been my must have product this summer.

july faves7

I’ve  also done a whole post on the benefit brow collection that you can read here but I’ve been wearing the goof proof, gimme brow and this ready set brow non stop for months now. I’m loving this whole new range, this ready set brow is a clear brow gel that sets the brows like cement which is what I like ha ha. My brows really don’t budge all day!

july faves new4

NYX soft matte lip cream in the shade London, I’ve actually had this for some time but I’ve been wearing this for weeks with all different lip liners, I actually have started using it more as I saw pictures of it being a dupe for Kylie’s exposed liquid lipstick, so I dug it out and have been wearing it lots. Plus I forgot how much I love these NYX matte lip creams, the formula is really nice and not drying at all, plus these come in so many shades. This is the perfect warm orangey toned nude.

And lastly I want to mention is the Sudocreme Skin care cream I’ve been using, I mentioned about Sudocreme in my spot and blemishes post, I literally use it for everything and I was actually sent this little one to try, it’s more of a face cream which is perfect for problem skin that suffer with spots, irritated or flakey skin, again this can be used for anything and I have been using this every night before I go to bed and I’ve really noticed a difference with my skin lately.

So that is pretty much it for my July favourites, I will soon be back for my August favourites at this rate! But least now I can start getting excited for my birthday this month yay!!

let me know what products you have been loving this month.

Thanks for reading xo

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
