JULY ESSENTIALS. MY TOP FAVOURITE MAKEUP AND FASHION ITEMS

The abundance of products in the beauty and fashion market is incredible. It is often hard to keep up with all the new trends, sales, promotions and innovations. Therefore, I decided to share my monthly favourites with you. Let's start with makeup products!

1. Get That Summer Glow!

I have been hunting for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit for quite a few weeks now. Sephora was either out of stock or did not have the palette I wanted (I was waiting for the "Sun Dipped" colours). I have just started using it, and I LOVE all 4 colours in the kit. Highlighting has never been more pleasant and easy!

Alternatively, I have Becca shimmer in the Golden Bronze Pearl colour that I like using when I am more tan. I apply all of these highlighters with my new brush that apparently came out only recently - Anastasia Beverly Hills Brush #23.

2. Perfect Skin

I try not to use a lot of makeup in the summer, however I want my skin to look perfect when my husband and I go out for a dinner or an event.

First of all, I apply my secret beauty weapon - Pores No More primer by Dr.Brandt that lasts forever (I have been using my 1 oz one pretty generously for almost a year already!). It does mattify my skin and makes pores invisible. But what makes a great difference is a well matched foundation. I have found my new favourite just last week: Estēe Lauder Double Wear Makeup in Shell Beige. Bare in mind that it is a bit heavy, but girls with oily or combination skin will never want to use anything else! So far I am extremely pleased with it.

I am also very fond of Belif gel-cream that I prefer to apply in the evenings.

3. Steve Madden Heels

I love shopping at Steve Madden because their shoes are so gorgeous AND super affordable. I have included it in my July favourites as they are currently running amazing sales and I had to share this information with you. I am actually about to buy a pair of these turquoise heels myself :) 

4. Off-the-Shoulder Swimsuits

It is, hands down, the hottest swimwear trend of this summer! I cannot wait to get one of these for our beach vacation :)

5. NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

Do I have to even explain? The Nordstrom July Sale is one of the most anticipated events in every shopaholic's calendar. Grab a designer bag or a beautiful dress at greatly discounted prices.
