Weekly Favourites: July 7th to 13th

As you all probably know, monthly favourites are a common blog post by any blogger! But as June has now left us and we're nearly in the middle of July, I think I'm a little late haha! That's definitely the problem with me, I leave everything till last minute... Ooops! So I was flicking through my Bloglovin page earlier and saw someone post their weekly favourites - everything they've loved this particular week. So, I thought I'd do the same! And hopefully I wont miss out on doing July's faves haha! Enjoy guys :) 

1. If you read a recent blogpost of mine, you will see I purchased a mini Benefit gift bag sorta thing which included a mini 'Benefit Porefessional' which I literally have used every single day since I got it. I'm sure all of you will be familiar with this product, but if not it is a primer that magically minimises the appearance of pores and fine lines to give us girls perfectly smooth skin! You just apply this underneath or over makeup on the areas of concern, mine is usually my nose and T-zone, and it helps makeup stay put and also of course reduce those nasty pores! I love it, it keeps my makeup on all day long and it is a great product, especially for the Summer time when skin begins to get a little sweaty! 


2. Next up is my FAVOURITE foundation ever! If you've read many of my blog posts you'll all know I absolutely love the 'L'Oreal True Match Foundation' in the shade Rose Vanilla. It's the best drugstore foundation that I have ever used. It sinks into my skin so easily blendable, gives me amazing coverage annnnndddd it is the perfect colour match for my skin tone! I find matching drugstore foundations to my skin tone quite the task, which is why I think I steer away from them the majority of the time, but this foundation over high-end foundation any day! If you haven't already tried this I massively recommend you do! \



3. Another favourite of mine this week is actually a makeup brush. I'm always buying new brushes and mixing them up to see which one works best with each product. Plus, I actually enjoy the whole cleaning my brushes task... Sad I know haha! Everyone, literally everyone I know uses Real Technique brushes and this one I'm really enjoying is the 'Real Techniques Stippling Brush'.  I have always used a brush to apply foundation as I think you get a better finish as appose to using my fingers and I especially love stippling brushes rather than flat brushes. I just really like this brush as it applies my makeup really well, no patchiness and another great thing, it doesn't leave brush hairs all over my face! The packaging is also really cute about these brushes, I especially love how this one is pink haha! 


4. Another product that has been in my makeup all week is the 'Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing Powder'... Better known as the Bourjois chocolate bronzer haha! Now my Bobbi Brown bronzer is completely gone, I decided to bring this bad boy back to life and use it as my daily bronzer. I have really been enjoying it actually, it's a really nice bronzed, golden tone on my skin and complements my skin tone really well! It's not too orangey or too brown, it's a nice sun kissed glow! It's really easy to apply and isn't too shimmery either! Plus it smells like chocolate, which is an added bonus! 



5. The last fave of mine this week is a 'MAC Woodwinked eyeshadow'. This eyeshadow is a warm gold colour which is perfect for a bronzey, smoked out look. This shade reminds me a lot of Smog from the Urban Decay Naked Palette, so if you enjoy using that shade I'm sure you'll love this! I like to wear this with Mac All That Glitters all over the lid and then Woodwinked blended through the outer crease.



What's you're weekly favourites been this week? Leave me a comment below :)

Thanks for reading, Phoebe x
