July Favourites

It's that time again! Time to share the products that I've been loving in the month of July, and there sure where a lot! So let's dive in...:)

Covergirl Ink It! Eyeliner (230 - Black Ink)

I went to a week-long dance camp last month and desperately needed an eyeliner that would not smudge, would last me all day, and would be able to withstand copious amounts of sweat (I know, attractive right?). So I went hunting around and ta-da! Found this drugstore gem...it goes on smoothly and lasts day-long without running or smudging (and it passed the sweat-test, yay!). I've continued to use it since my dance camp ended (which was one of the highlights of my year btw), and generally use it for my waterline. Definitely a must-have!

Maybelline New York ExpertWear Eye Shadow Trio (Almond Satin)

I love nude eye shadow colours, and have really been liking this one! It's great for everyday wear, and doesn't look or feel too heavy. Some might say that it's too sheer, but this is one of the things that I personally love about it, as I want my daily make-up to look "barely there" and more natural.

Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara (Black)

Oh my goodness...if I could marry a mascara, it would be this one. I absolutely love it! I had seen various beauty gurus on YouTube use and rave about this product, so when I saw it in Shoppers Drug Mart one day I decided to give it a shot...and I certainly didn't regret it! The formula goes on smoothly and makes your eyelashes noticeably fuller and longer without clumping or feeling too heavy. As I think I've mentioned before, I have very short eyelashes, but this stuff makes them look pretty darn fabulous. The only negative thing about this product is the price...at approx. $31 Canadian Dollars, it's certainly not cheap! But if you are wanting to invest in a high-quality mascara, this is definitely the product to choose!

Moroccan Oil Hair Treatment

Moroccan Oil (also known as "Argan Oil") has a variety of benefits, such as repairing damaged hair and controlling frizz. This stuff has done wonders for my dry and brittle hair! It makes it feel so soft and smooth, and helped to reduce my fly-away hairs and repair parts of my hair that were literally fried from using a flat iron. This is a definite staple in my hair regime, and I highly recommend it for all hair types!

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss (Beige)

I have loved all of the NYX products that I have tried, and this was certainly no different! It has a nice subtle colour that can be used for both an everyday or evening look, and adds a sort of "dewy" look to your lips. I have been keeping it in my purse at all times since I got it, absolutely love it!

Contigo Shake & Go Tumbler

I am horrible when it comes to drinking enough water, so I thought that this may help make it a bit more "fun" (yes, I know this sounds crazy, but just work with me here ok?). So far it has helped a lot! I try to keep it with me while I'm around the house or travelling, and keep refilling it as needed. The size it perfect, the mug doesn't "sweat", and the child in me loves having a straw. :)

So those are the products that I've been loving! Please feel free to post a link to your monthly favourites blog post, I would love to hear from you.
