July Favourites

28/7/2014

Hi everyone!

Its that time of month when I tell you what I've been loving! Where has the past month gone? It seems like I just literally wrote my first favourites post. Most of this month I have been loving a variety of different things in each category, but I wanted to narrow them down to just one! So whats changed for this month then?

Music

This month I have LOVED listening to a new and Australian artist known as Betty Who. I first heard about her by YouTuber, Tyler Oakley. But I began to listen to her music when an advert on Spotify came up advertising one of her songs "Heartbreak Dream." It is a upbeat song so as soon as the advert was over, I wanted to listen to more! Personally, my favourite song of hers is "High Society" which you will be able to listen to below! All her songs on her recently released EP are really good, so that's why she has made my track of the month!

Book

Before finishing school, I decided to make a promise to myself that I would start reading a lot more after my exams were out of the way. I never thought I would stick to it, but I had been finishing books within a week depending on how good it was! 

After finishing all of John Green books, I felt empty without having nothing to read so I did some research on Waterstones to see what I would enjoy just as much as I enjoyed John Green books. I chose a book called "Everyday" by David Levithan and it has been my favourite book so far! It is written really well and the story behind it is really beautiful and clever! I was glued to this book once I got into it! It's one of those books that you think about when you're out and wonder what will happen to the character in the next chapter (that rarely happens for me!) Its a great read so I definitely knew it had to be apart of this months favourites!

YouTuber

Recently, I subscribed to a YouTuber known as Mr Ben Brown. He does daily vlogs which is my favourite type of videos to watch on YouTube! But recently he had uploaded a video called Visual Vibes and thats the video that drew me in. It was filmed beautifully and it really captures summer really well! I'm surprised that he's only just hit 200,000 subscribers I really thought he would have more! If you'd like to check his channel out just click the picture!

Cosmetic

Now that the weather is getting hotter in Britain, I really cannot be doing with caking on heavy foundation day after day! But I don't dare to leave my face bear without any makeup! My struggle was that I wanted a natural face but the coverage on horrible breakouts were hidden fairly well. I picked up this Rimmel London BB cream and it is amazing! It spreads on my face really well and blends out super easily. The coverage it gives me is great, exactly what I wanted and it doesn't feel at all heavy when wearing it! Also, it has SPF 15 in it, so I don't need to smother my face in suncream before using it as theres enough protection to stop my fair skin face burn!

Hair product

So if you're a constant reader for my site, you will know that I was at a cheer competition a few weeks back. Our hairstyle for the competition is half up half down and curls (something my hair never seems to hold into place very well!) Even if I have hairspray surrounding my locks, they will most likely fall out in about 1 hour. I invested in a gel spray to see if that would make any difference. And it did! The spray smells sooo good and it works better than hairspray alone and my curls lasted for a lot longer than expected. I definitely recommend a gel spray if you want your hairstyle to stay locked in for most of the day!


And thats another month out of the way! It's crazy theres only 4 months left of the year soon and that just seems mad! I hope you have had a great July and an even better August and I also hope you've enjoyed reading what I've been loving! Let me know in the comments what your favourite thing in July has been!

See you in the next blog post,
