Favorites // July

This July it was ridiculously easy to think of my favorites for the month. Most of the time I find it pretty hard to narrow it down or decide what products to include. This time it was very obvious to me.

Sun Dance Après Creme: Summer has finally arrived and with sunshine and the heat, sunburns were also back. I get sunburned easily (even though I wear sunscreen almost every day) and the only thing I find helps with sunburns is moisturizer. This one helps especially well. I really think my sunburns heal faster - plus this Après Creme has a nice cooling effect on the skin. It does leave your skin feeling a little sticky but when it is as hot as is has lately been I take multiple shower anyway.

Garnier Eye-Make-Up Remover 2 in 1: After having to use the Garnier Skin Active Waterproof Make-Up-Remover All-in-1 for almost a week I was so happy to have this back in my routine I had to include it in my favorites! It remover waterproof mascara well and is gentle to the skin.

 Catrice Liquid Liner Waterproof 010 Don't Leave Me: There is a review of this product coming up soon, so I won't talk about it too much. It is obviously going to be a positive review since it is included in my favorites. Liquid Liner is my favorite type of eyeliner and since this is back in my collection I realized how much I missed it.

I am Earrings: These are by far my most worn accessory of the past few months. I love how simple yet special they are. You can combine them with everything. They slightly curve following the edge of your ear but you only need your ears to be pierced once to wear them.

What were your favorites for this July?

September Drugstore HAUL - Part 1

Did I go a little brush crazy? Maybe. Where I live they do not sell these brushes for some reason but here they did! I wanted to stock up on brushes anyway so when I saw these I just got a lot more at once than I usually would.

labello lip butter raspberry rosé

I have just used up one of these and wanted to use up another lip balm I had at home before repurchasing this. I did not do that. I just really missed this one. I had the blueberry and the caramel scent before and decided to try the only other one I am interested in. (If you are not from Germany do not be confused. Here they sell the Nivea lip butters under the name labello, it is basically the same.)

I have wanted a pair of earrings that go "behind" your ear for a few weeks now. I thought I found the perfect pair in these but I am not so sure about that anymore. When I wear them they just look a lot dressier than I thought they would.

essence blush brush

I prefer angled blush brushes to straight ones. I do really like the design of the brushes even though they do look a little childish. I am not quite sure how I feel about the white tip of the brush hairs, these brushes will look really dirty really soon. I own other essence brushes (that you cannot get anymore) and pretty much liked them all. The old ones were a lot heavier which I liked. These new ones do feel a little cheap.

essence eye blender brush

This is the only brush I think I ever read about. I am pretty sure people did not like this for blending their eyeshadow. Why did I get it then? First, I wanted to try it myself; second, Maybe it will be good for blending concealer?

essence eyeshadow brush

I have used this brush already and yes - the white tip is making it look dirty after just using it ones. Other than that I like it so far.

essence smokey eyes brush

I own this brush by essence from a previews collection. I like it for putting eyeshadow around your lower lashes or smoking out your pencil liner.

essence eyeliner brush

This color looks awful on camera. IRL it looks rather pretty. This brush feels by far the cheapest. I have not tried it yet so I do not no if that means it will do a bad job but I am already a little disappointed.

Jewelry HAUL I am

There was a three for two sale going on at I am that I could not pass up. Usually I do not shop for jewelry unless it is on sale so it was nice to shop outside of the normal sale section.

I have been needing a new case for my glasses for forever. This is the prettiest case I have come across in a long time - and it was not even that expensive! I love the pattern and the size and everything about it :)

I am still not quite sure about these. I cannot return them (because they are earrings) so I have to figure out a way to wear them. To me the look rather bohemian - which is a style I really like - but I find it hard to wear. It does not really come natural to me.

I love this ring! It is so simple yet special. I will get a lot of wear out of this - especially in combination with some gold knuckle rings.
