Monthly Round Up #2

Is it seriously that time of the month again? Although I love sitting down and writing about my favourite posts and products, it doesn't half scare me. I mean, it's nearly August for goodness sake! I will be entering my third year of university soon and a few months after that, I'll (hopefully) be graduating. This is madness! Although I'm 20 and soon to be 21, I definitely still feel like a child. This is crazy! Anyway. Onto my top ten blog posts this month. I hope you enjoy them.
Remember how I was taking part in the Escentual Micellar Blind Trial? Well this month (after the winners were released) I decided to publish my two cents about the waters. Some I loved, others I hated, a few I was shocked at. You can read my thoughts and find out which one really is the "best" here
I loved a lot of products in June. I'd been trying out a few newbies and all of them gained a special place in my heart. It was hard to narrow it down to just a few but I managed to in the end. My June Favourites post was one of my favourites to write and although the products weren't photogenic, it didn't bother me one bit.
The Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer is without a doubt a cult blogger favourite. It lasts all day, blends easily and provides our flaws with good coverage that makes us feel like a model. However, SEVENTEEN have released a concealer to rival it - do I think it's better? Find out here.
It's no secret that I'm a lip crayon addict so when I discovered that SEVENTEEN had released their own collection, I trotted along to Boots and picked up this beautiful coral orange. It's a lot cheaper than its cousins and I believe it's just as good. I swatched and reviewed the lip crayon here.
I love me a good face oil. Anything with the words "brighten," "renew" and "Super Facialist" in them has me sold. I'm a big believer in double cleansing and this face oil by Super Facialist is without a doubt my favourite. Ever. Did I mention it's exceptionally good value for money too? Read my thoughts here.
There's nothing better than putting your feet up, slathering on a face mask and watching YouTube. I've recently discovered three incredible face masks that brighten, balance and exfoliate your skin beautifully. Find out more about my face mask loves here.
If I'm bored, what do I do? Whack out the eyeshadow palettes and have a good play of course. This eye make up look was created using the wonderful and oh-so-practical Naked palette and I loved how it turned out. Find out which shadows, liner and mascara I used here.
Yes, I finally did it. I ventured out and posted my first "real" outfit of the day post. I actually really enjoyed taking these photos and I've captured my next batch already. I'm hoping to make WIWT posts a weekly feature on this blog but you can see my first attempt here.
I can hold my hands up and say that I spend the majority of my money on food and shower gels. I just adore the smells of these delicious beauties and I managed to narrow it down to my top five in one of my posts this month. Oh and did I mention they're all under £6.50?! Find out my favourites here.


And finally. A post not by me but by Superdrug. I was featured on Superdrug's Bloggers We Love series this month and yes, I nearly crashed my car in excitement when I saw - sorry Perry. You can find the link to my mini interview here. I'm still overly excited about it now!
