July Must Haves!

The month of July is a very joyful experience for me. Not only am I off to France for a week in the sun (well I think sun is a tiny bit of an exaggeration due to the fact its the north of France!) but it is my birthday! Today, though, I am brushing away any molecule of excitement I have painted onto my brain and replacing it with this: the best buys of July! Maybe it isn't the best idea to do my first blog post (eek!) on this as not everything fits the 'reasonably cheap' category; not only that, but everyone has different styles... oh well hopefully I am managing to please those savvy shoppers out there in some way or another.
Lets get rolling with those items then... (oh there random too.)

Product 1. Pierre Hardy for NARS Blush Palette

Price: £30.00

Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I can safely say that this is one of the most beautiful blushes ever produced. I suppose it is because of the recent 'Gatsby-esque' trend circulating the fashion and beauty world that has made me feel thus way. The palette, once opened, reveals one of two shades, Boys Don't Cry and Rotunde. Boys Don't Cry is the more pinkier shade and definitely suits those with fairer skin, whereas Rotunde is more of a peach colour that suits darker skin. Both work excellently for defining cheekbones, much of what you would expect with any NARS blush or bronzer. Although one thing I will say is that if you were to buy one, I would only get it out the makeup drawer for special occasions as it is quite pricey (£30.00 if you didn't catch the caption) and it may be on special edition. I have not yet managed to find any evidence of this being the case, but as it is a designer for NARS, then I am assuming so. Altogether, this amazing product is great for defining your cheeks for a healthy summer glow but would be ideal for once-in-a-while make up rather than for everyday use. Unless your loaded.

2. Water (Yes, I know.)

WATER is your friend!

Before you decide that this blog is a waste of time (or not.) listen to this important message: WATER is a big deal. An average person needs 5-6 glasses a day to stay hydrated and as a fitness freak I would have to agree. Its also really good for helping lose weight (especially if you are looking for that awesomeness bikini bod this summer). Water isn't just a must have because its healthy, it gives you a great break from any touch of hot weather you might happen to come across someday in the future. 

3. The Clear Backpack

Clear Backpacks are CHEAP- this one is £8.33, Ebay.

This is one of my all time favourites! You could call me a cheat as I have sort of put two things together... but look! The result is a beautiful child in the form of a bag! Clear bags are trending big time at the moment as they are do out of the ordinary; they are also really versatile, so they go perfectly with the 'geek style' and also the 'statement' look. It isnt just that, you could see one from two miles away if it were a highlighter colour, which is also amazing! another great thing is that it a backpack which is great for those sort of people who are always on the go. You could also have one for school/college and really make a statement... if youre that daring! All in all these bags are the perfect piece to compliement a varity of styles that will help you stop traffic this summer.

4. Phone 'Charm' plugs.

These are so adorable! Search for earphone plug on ETSY.

Now, I am a real sucker for something cute, so when I am scouring through my fave app 'Wish' (Wish is like a personal shopper; it gives you pics of products and where to but them) and I find these little cuties. Personally I think that these are a revolutionary idea as they give your phone that extra level of cutenss. Not that phones are cute...Umm... They're great for another reason, and it isn't anything to do with cute or pretty e.t.c, no this is efficiency. I can't speak for everyone but when my phone is in my pocket, bits of paper that deterioates over time (You know, because paper does that.) gets all stuck in the socket and it takes an age to get out. Well heres a solution... one of these babies. When my earphone aren't plugged in, I can keep this is it and hey presto, goodbye to sticking a bobbypin in the socjet for two hours!

5. YSL Volupte Lipstick (Look, I had to say something!)

You can get this anywhere, in Boots £24... or £23

I know many of you will have read a ton of posts about this but I can esure it is definitely worth it, these lipsticks are so good! Now this may be a crime or not, but I don't actually own one, on the grounds I am still using my lipstick up (Estee Lauder Long Lasting Lipstick in Fig) and I can only have one lippy at a time (Also I don't have much money... woo) but I do know someone who has got one and ofcourse I had to try it on! I don't want you to be too disappointed, but... but... IT WAS GORGEOUS! The texture of the lipstick itself was top class and when it was actually on my lips it didn't feel sticky or waxy like many other lipsticks do (even the posh ones.). I have to say I did have hopes for this product anyway but it didn't matter because it fufilled them in everyway possible! I strongly recommend you go out and buy this, or alternatively if you're like someone I know (not looking at me.) find a friend and do anything to try it. I mean pester, beg or even steal it from her (or Him if you have friends like that.). OK, maybe stealing is a bit of an extreme and I honestly don't condone violence at all. Maybe.


Those were my July must haves and I hoped you enjoyed reading or scrolling through them. Hey, I told you they would be random and if you liked that then there is plenty more where that came from... evening evelings!
