July Favourites 2016

I have felt very unmotivated to blog recently even though I have so many to write, it's not a good combination. The last month has been a little busy but it went by so fast, being more than half way through the year is so so scary. As I've been busy just generally socializing and also going to the cinema a lot more the past month my favourites are quite small but worth the read.

My first favourite is the Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil. I've been using powders on my eyebrows for ages as I always felt like pencils never matched my eyebrow colour and left them looking less than natural. I bought this pencil as I wanted to try something different and I''ve heard they're a lot easier to use. I've loved using this product and it does make my eyebrows look natural while still covering all the sections it needs to. The colour doesn't perfectly match my eyebrows but it's very close and looks fine when blended out with a brush. Pencils are definitely something I want to try more of.

My second favourite is an old favorite of mine, it's the Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me. I used to love this in 2014 and I actually went through a few tubs already. I was looking for a really subtle hydrating lipstick to wear that doesn't look awful when it fades and I remembered I had this. This lip balm is super hydrating, leaves your lips with a slight red pink tone and looks so natural and lovely on the lips. It's so perfect for days that you don't want to wear lipstick but want something to wear on your lips with a bit of colour.  

I'd never used a Lush shower Jelly before and I got Woosh shower jelly recently and tried it. I have to say using the product is a little awkward but I really love the idea of it being reusable and much better for the environment.  It smells very citrus-y and it's full of grapefruit, lemons and limes, it's very fresh and it comes in a vibrant blue jelly. I'm not too sure if I'd repurchase because of how awkward I feel it is to use but I still do love the product itself.

My last favourite is this DKNY Women perfume. I'm not sure if it has an exact name but I've been loving this perfume. So many people have complimented me when I wear it. I think it smells really like apples but online it says it smells of orchid and water lily. It's a floral perfume so I'm not sure why it smells like a fruity one to me. I think it's one of the most perfect scents I've ever smelt. Maybe a bit dramatic but y'know.

My last favourites are movie favourites. They're both Disney which isn't a surprise. The first one is the Secret Life of Pets which is a little similar to other Disney films which involves pets and cities like Bolt and Oliver and Company. The plot was as expected, there's not much you can do with a bunch of animals in a city but the characters were lovable and very cute and the film was very well thought out. It had very humorous bits for all ages, there was also a little bit of dark humour which I was not expecting, my boyfriend loved it. I feel like it's another underrated Disney film which I wish was a little more celebrated or hyped.

My second Disney favourite is of course, the super anticipated, Finding Dory. I actually wasn't very excited for this film as it was over hyped, does that make sense? I thought it was very similar to the first, so much that it was very predictable and it didn't feel like it was anything new. Yet once again Disney has created some very unique and lovable characters. The plot connected and unraveled really well. I think it was really good and is worth a watch if you were a fan of the first one but it's probably something I won't watch again very soon.

I know my favourites are a little late but I hope you've enjoyed reading them. What have you been enjoying this month?
