July Favourites

The end of the month is approaching so I thought I'd share with you some off my favourites.

1. Ed Sheeran - X

Ed Sheeran's new album was released at the end of June and I have been listening to it non stop since then. Some of my favourite songs from the album include 'I See Fire' and 'Nina'. The album is available HERE for £9.00 or the deluxe version HERE for £11.99.

2. The 'Three-Product-Face'

This month, as the weather has been improving here in the UK, I have been trying out a minimal makeup look using only concealer, powder and mascara. The products I have been using include Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' concealer, Collection 'lasting perfection' concealer, Rimmel 'Stay Matte' powder and Maybelline 'The Rocket' mascara. 

3. NYC Nail Polish

I own quite a few nail polishes from this collection and recently I have been loving wearing blue shades on my nails. Two of my favourites include 'East Village' and 'Raindrop'.  You can find them in Superdrug, priced at just £1.79 per polish. I also love using a glitter top coat, such as Kiko Fancy Topcoat, for an accent nail.

4. Ray Ban - Wayfarers

I bought my Ray Ban's at the end of May and I have worn them a great deal since then. I love the way they look, feel AND they protect my eyes from the sun. I ordered mine through Tesco Opticians but I would not recommend using this company because they did not send the order out on time and the customer service department is frankly appalling.

5. Nike Air Max 'Thea'

I bought my new trainers at the beginning of the month and I have been wearing them nearly everyday. They are super comfortable and I love the colour. They cost £80 (£72 with student discount) but they were totally worth it and will last me a long time.

6. Fresh Mango

A bit of a random food favourite this month has been fresh mango. One of my goals for the summer is to eat more healthily and so far I have mainly been eating mango. I find it so refreshing and delicious.  

7. Homemade Smoothies 

To make my smoothies I have been using the Brenville Blend-Active Blender. I use about half a banana, a cup of mixed frozen berries, a cup of fruit juice and half a cup of water and blend it all together.

So there are some of my favourites this month. What have you been loving?

Nail Polish Collection

Today I thought I would share with you my nail polish collection because it is a product I like to use every week.

Models Own: 

From Left to Right: Golden Green, Pink Cocktail, Pinky Brown.

Models Own nail polishes retail at £5 each and can be found HERE. I love the look of these metallic nail polishes and they last on the nails for about 4-5 days.

Rimmel:

From Left to Right: Ruby Crush (002), Double Decker Red (030), Black Out (800), Mind The Gap - Victoria (503), Clear (740).

I really like the brushes on the Rimmel nail polishes because they are wide so you only need one swipe and you're done. Also, the pigmentation is awesome which means one coat is often enough. However, I find these nail polishes chip really easily which is a shame because otherwise they are perfect. These retail at £2.99 - £3.69 and can be found at Superdrug.

NYC:

From Left to Right: Blue Sky (320), Spring Tulip (300), Chelsea (228), Rock Muse (001), Full Metal Jacket (002).

The NYC polishes are quite thin and therefore you will definitely need to use two coats. However, there is a beautiful colour range and my favourites from my collection are Chelsea (burgundy) and Full Metal Jacket (gold). These are really affordable at just £1.79 and can be found HERE.

Barry M:

From Left to Right: Matt White (66), Bright Pink (279), Racing Green (299), Papaya (328), Prickly Pear (325), Sour Apple (327).

Barry M are well know for their beautiful polishes. They now have a range of finishes as well as a huge colour range which can all be found HERE. I love the formula of these polishes especially the Gelly ones.

So that is my nail polish collection. What is your favourite brand of nail polish? Do you have of the ones I have? Let me know in the comments.
