July Favourites

Beauty
July is past us and it's time for my beauty favourites. Some of these products you might've already seen on here and I've provided links to the previous posts regarding some items in case you'll be interested in seeing that. It's going to be quite a long post so let's dive into it.

01. Maybelline Eyestudio 24h gel eyeliner: BEST. EYELINER. EVER! Seriously, last weekend I went out and had wings that could cut somebody along with my smokey eye, as the night came to an end, I couldn't be bothered to take of my make-up (bad girl...), the next morning my eyeshadows had moved around but my eyeliner stayed put, no smudges or anything and I could've continued wearing the same eyeliner all day.

02. Make Up Store face mist: I haven't tried too many face sprays aside from the LA Girl one so I wanted to try something new and I had to make a choice between the MAC prep + prime fix+ and the one pictures, I decided to go wit it as it's more affordable and feels fresh on the skin. It can be used before/after make up application or to simply rehydrate your face during the day.

'Metal Cherry' blush - Makeup Store // Vaseline // Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzing powder - Too Faced // YSL Fusion Ink foundation // Blindfold me Blue - Rimmel London // Off the shoulder - Essie // L.A. Girl Pro.setting spray // Maybelline  lipstick in Vivid Rose 904 // L'Occitane hand cream

Last month I found myself experimenting quite a lot with beauty products. Firstly I would like to tell you guys about this amazing shea butter hand cream from L'Occitane, it smells and feels divine on the hands, it literally moisturises all cracks and I promise you that your hands will no longer be ashy. This YSL foundation was also featured in my previous 'favourites' post, I'm still loving it and perhaps a review might soon follow if anyone out there's interested; or you could simply watch reviews of it on YouTube. The Essie nail polish is something I tend to return to every now and then, it's especially great for the summer season as is the deep blue from Rimmel London.

I'm finally back for good, do expect a lot of posts to come from travelling and beauty related because I've done quite a bit of travelling in the past weeks and I've got a lot of photos to show you guys. Also I shopped a little bit while at it so there will be brand new outfit pics featuring the clothing items I purchased, I'm all positive because this month started well for me and I plan on keeping the positivity for the rest of the month and onto the next month as well. 

Today I decided to post my March Favourites because I have some new items that I've been loving and wanted to share them with you all, hope you enjoy the post.

1. E.L.F Studio Flawless Finish Foundation // 2. Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam Foundation 
3. Bobbi Brown Weightless Powder Foundation // 4. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
5. Bobbi Brown Foundation stick // 6. M.A.C Mineralize Moisture Foundation
7. Smashbox Liquid Halo Foundation // 8. Make Up Store Studio Foundation Powder 
 9. Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Compact Foundation // 10. NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation 

I recently drained my M.A.C studio fix fluid foundation which I've been using for quite some time now alongside the Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick. This means going on another hunt for the perfect foundation. As everyone already knows, M.A.C. cosmetics isn't the cheapest of brands so right now my aim is to find a few  good brands that are on the more affordable side. I've tried a couple of drugstore brands but they never seem to be dark enough for my skin tone and always leave me looking ashy. I'm starting to think that I might need to actually purchase two separate shades and mix them to get the desired shade or go back to splurging on the studio fix fluid.

I'm interested in trying the NARS and Bobbi Brown compact foundation although I'm quite certain that my shade of the BB one isn't in stock. Also no place here carries NARS which means I'd need to get mine online, that can be a hassle to find a site that ships to Iceland. Have you guys tried any of the above foundations and if so which top 3 would you recommend me to try out?
