JULY FAVOURITES | Lifeinthefastlanes.

 A July post in August: July favourites!

Hi! I know this post is 11 days late but I suppose its better late than never. Over this past month a lot of new things as well as some old things have been welcomed into this months favourites. So I thought id talk you through my beauty and non-beauty loves.

I'm going to start with some beauty favourites, three of which came from July's birchbox. The first out of the three, Benefits POREfessional Primer has worked wonders on my skin. You could not imagine all the things I've tried to hide my pores! I tried pore strips and tons of natural remedies, yet not one could compare to the POREfessional. Yes it is on the pricey side but I promise its worth it. You can tell the improvement just by looking in the mirror! I always use it when I know the cameras are going to be out and I'm yet to be disappointed. You just lightly pat it onto your t-zone area from the centre outward before applying your make-up. You can even carry it around in your bag if you feel like a touch up.
Another favourite from Birchbox is the Balance Me Eye Cream. I find it can be very sticky after application however I have noticed an improvement in my skin around my eyes and for that I thank Birchbox otherwise I never would of found this product. 
Lastly from Birchbox, Absolute New York Eyeshadow Primer.  I've seen a lot of bloggers use eyeshadow primers but it never crossed my mind to use one myself. At first I wasn't really sure if an eye primer was worth the money however I have used this product ever since I got it and my under eye concealer has lasted a lot longer. In the long run its worth it as you don't need to reply makeup over and over as it lasts longer, so you save more money than expected.
Keeping to the theme of skincare, my absolute favourite product is the Origins Drink Up Intensive overnight mask. I will definitely purchase this item over and over, I can not put into words how good my skin feels in the morning! It just feels so refreshed and healthy, not only does that make my skin feel good but it puts me in good mood too.  
Another purchase I expected to show up in my favourites is the Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion+. So many people have bragged about this product so I thought it was about time I got it. But was it worth the hype? YES! My skin has made a massive improvement since I started using this. Even instantly after application it feels softer and healthier. I would recommend this product to everyone, enough said!
I  also have a lot from Lush Cosmetics in my favourites this month but instead I'm just going to show them in a separate blog post based on lush products, so keep an eye out for that.

I recently picked up three new make-up products and I absolutely love them. Purchase number one, Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip colour in Tawny pink, I found this lipstick to be a little dry but the colour is worth the sacrifice. Number two, MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy, I have nothing bad to say about this product. It has become part of my daily routine and I'm glad I bought it. Last but not least, Urban Decay Naked Basics palette, Every colour looks stunning on the skin, from the lightest shade to the darkest shade.

Hair is also very important when it comes to looking after, this is why I have been using the Lee Stafford Growth & Repair Hair Mask. I've been using this to help grow my hair and trust me it works. My hair grows twice as fast + looks shiny and healthy. 

Moving on to my non-beauty favourites. I recently did a post based on my Triangl Bikini's, and I'm still in love with them as much as the day I first got it. They definitely deserve to be in my July Favourites.
I've also recently just finished reading two books, the first was 'IT' by Alexa Chung, and the second, 'Across the Universe' by Beth Revis. I usually just get bored half way and stop reading but I finished both books and I would happily read them again.

Lastly I'd like to mention my new Celine' Paris Bag I actually got of eBay because they are so expensive but its still in perfect condition and I take it everywhere just to flash it about. 

If you got this far, thank you so much for reading this and comment down below some of your favourites this month! Don't forget to give this post alike, Big Kiss! Skylar.
