July Favorites

July Beauty Favorites
Hello ladies. Today I will share with you my July favorites. As you may know, I didn't post my June favorites simply because I hadn't enough products to show and to my surprise I don't have that many for the month of July either; some are brand new to me and some are old favs, so let's start.

I think I will first mention the skin care products since I have only two and I'll start with moisturizer:
Garnier moisture match Shine be Gone for combination to oily skin. I love this stuff! I actually liked it from the very first moment that I've tried it. I consider it being the perfect moisturizer for combination/oily skins because it doesn't make your skin feel greasy and it leaves a semi matte finish. But I prefer using it at night during hot days and as a matter of fact during those days I don't put moisturizer at the morning because I feel like it's too much since you have to wear spf.

L'Oreal Ideal fresh foaming water. It's relatively new product from L'Oreal and from what I know in USA it has the same name but weirdly enough I still don't see it on the L'Oreal USA website. In the UK the Ideal line is named skin perfection but, again, I'm now sure if this is available there or not yet. As the name suggests the product is in water form in the bottle but comes out as foam. I love this product and been using it none stop pretty much everyday and sometimes even twice a day. Although it says it's good for normal to combination skins I would say it more suitable for combination to oily because it is a little bit drying but it's doesn't dry out your skin it just removes the extra oil that skin produces when it's hot outside. That's why I love it and I specially enjoy using it in the morning before I apply my face makeup.

Rimmel Stay Matte. I've talked about this powder in the past and I think there isn't a single person who have tried this powder and didn't like it. It does what it says, it keeps your face matte for about 3-4 hours and it's very fine powder so you won't easily get that not so pretty cakey face.

Sonia Kashuk Eye on Neutral palette. Another old love of mine, it's actually always in my favorites because I simply can't do my makeup without it anymore. If you want an amazing matte eyeshadow palette this is for you. You can read a more detailed review here.

Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte. Although I've tried couple new bronzers in the past month none of them is better than the Smashbox one. I adore this product and for me it the perfect bronzer to contour with. If by the time that I finish this product I won't find another bronzer that I like more then I'm definitely buying the full size even though it is slightly pricey. You can read more detailed review here.

Maybelline Rocket Volume mascara. I think I've included this mascara in one of my past favorites posts but I still love. It adds good amount of volume and a little bit of length and it is clump free, at least for up to 3 coats. My only "problem" is that it doesn't do the best job at holding the curl but other than that it's a great mascara.

Maybelline Fit me Concealer in shade 10. I've heard so many people saying good things about this concealer but what made me buy it is the gossmakeupartist's video review simply because I trust his opinion and let tell you that I didn't regret buying it. It doesn't have the fullest coverage but it has enough to cover both dark circles and blemishes. It stays on for good amount of time even without setting it and it has kinda illuminating effect which I like for under eyes but if I put on blemishes I definitely have to set it with mattifying powder.

NYX round lipstick in Margarita. I recently reviewed this on my blog, and you can read it here, but although it has some cons it still made it to my favorites simply because I adore the color; It's a beautiful pinky coral shade.

That was it for my beauty favorites and this time I thought I would include some other favorites like fav music etc.
Favorite music? Kar Deluna Run the Show and Whine up, as well as Don Omar Zumba. I've been listening to these 3 songs none stop in the past month and a half. They really make me want stand up and dance.

Favorite movie? To be honest in July I didn't see any movies that I really liked; I saw whole 10 seasons of Smallville which I used to hate but then ended up loving it. But in in the begging of August I saw the Conjuring and finally a horror movie that I really liked and that actually kinda scared me. For me this is the best of the horror movie that has been released in 2013 so far.

Favorite game? It's definitely Minion Rush on iPhone but I think it's available for Android devices too. Playing this game and seeing the Despicable Me 2 actually inspired me to do a nail design which you can see here. The game, let's say, works in similar way as Temple Run but it's based on the second Despicable Me movie. You should definitely download because I think you're love it.

That's it. Wow this July favorites post turned out to be quite long, hope you don't mind it.

    1. Και εγώ αλλά μακάρι να κράταγε καλύτερα τις βλεφαρίδες γυρισμένες :/

    2. Εγώ από κάτω της βάζω την telescopic την αδιάβροχη της L'Oreal και κρατάνε μια χαρά οι βλεφαρίδες! Γενικά με αδιάβροχες mascara θα σου κρατάνε περισσότερο γυρισμένες οι βλεφαρίδες, γιατί συνήθως οι αδιάβροχες έχουν λίγο πιο στεγνή σύνθεση, οπότε δεν βαραίνουν τις βλεφαρίδες :)

    3. Ναι το ξέρω αυτό για τις αδιάβροχες αλλά δεν τις πολύ προτιμώ γιατί είναι δύσκολο και χρονοβόρο να την αφαιρέσεις :(
