Well we have reached the end of another month and I can't believe we are going into the eighth month in the year! After August we will be in the last quarter of this year! That's insane! Soon there will be Christmas products and decorations in the shops and we will all be singing Christmas carols! Anyway, today I thought I would share my favourite makeup, beauty and random favourites for the month of July! I felt it was appropriate, because today is the 31st! Before we go ahead I just want to mention that three very important people in my life had birthdays this month so Happy Birthday to all of you! Glad you had great days! So lets get into the post! (All links open in new tabs).
Next are two eyeshadow palettes which I have been reaching for non stop this month. They are the MUA palettes that retail for only £4.00 each and are amazing quality! They shadows are amazing! The two palettes I have been reaching for the most out of the five that I have are 'Undressed' (Black Palette) and 'Undress Me Too' (White Palette). (Undress Me Too is sold out at the moment but you can come back to check and see if it's available) Obviously 'Undress Me Too' is the second edition of 'Undressed'. They are amazing and I love each and every shadow!

Another MUA product I've been enjoying recently is this single eyeshadow in the shade number 17 (It's not available on the Superdrug website, which is the only place you can get it, but they may have it instore). It's the perfect crease colour to blend any colours together and it transitions harsh lines between colours into blended perfection! (If that made sense?) I love it so much!
The next eye product I have to show you is my new Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in 005 Nude. This is only £3.99 and it is very comparable to the Urban Decay Eyeliners and many people are raving about them lately. The nude one brightens the eyes up so much and is very creamy and pigmented on the waterline. They are so much cheaper than Urban Decay or Tarte too.
Next I have a mascara that I have gotten back into using recently. This is the Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara in Black. I used this mascara for about three months straight last year and I have gotten back into using it! It's amazing and it pushes my lashes up with tonnes of volume and length.
The next two products I have to talk about are lipsticks and I have been obsessing over these two colours recently! The first is one of the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks in Fire and Ice which is a gorgeous red and is the perfect summery red too! It's so creamy as it is a Crème formulation. The second lipstick is the Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipsticks in Nude Delight. Again this is very creamy and pigmented! I love them both so much!
Last but not least for lips, there are two Lush Lip Scrubs, one in Popcorn and one in Bubblegum, that have stuck out this month. I use these before I put on my makeup and then I apply lip balm and my lip product for that day. I love them and they smell and taste, because you can lick them off, so good, no lie!
Now onto some skincare items. The first being my Blackhead Clearing Cleanser from Clean and Clear. This stuff is so good at everything. Blackhead reducing, keeping down redness and also taking off makeup. It's brilliant! It's also really cheap!
Then I have the Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper which I will do a review on, . I don't want to say to much because I will do a separate review but I love this stuff and it's super cheap too! It's a roll on too so it's really easy to apply.
The next product is my current moisturiser which I will also do a full review on but I love it because it stops oil and helps with excess oils. It's the Garnier Skin Naturals Moisture Match Shine Be Gone Mattifying Fresh Cream. (Long name I know!). This product has really helped me this month because of the heat wave and how hot it has been in the UK recently. I really will continue to love this all year round I think.
I have a hair product of the month too. This is the L'Orèal Studio Matt and Messy Shine Free Salt Spray. This just gives my hair texture and beachy, mermaid waves. It's just so easy and quick, I never had a hair product work so well before.
Second to last I have a brush kit to show you! This brush set is the Real Techniques Core Collection. This set goes for £21.99 which is really good considering you get four, great quality, brushes. That evens out to about £5.50 per brush, which is amazing. Leave a comment down below if you want a review and a post about what I use each brush for.

Last but not least I have two somngs of the month. The first is One Direction's Best Song Ever. I'm not a massive fan girl over them but I like their songs and this one is pretty addictive. Also a favourite song of mine this month, is Landon Austin's Once in a Lifetime. It's just plain and simply, awesome.
Sorry this post was so long but I had a lot of favourites this month! (The pictures took up the most space! Sorry once again!)
Thanks for reading,
