July Favourites!

  

July has been a month of many things for My Pale Skin. It's my first month of posting every single day, I've started a YouTube Channel! I've hauled, swatched and posted some of my top tips for blogging confidence on a weekly basis. I've learnt so much, made some new friends and found some amazing new products which have made their way into my everyday look - and I'm wearing each and every one of them in the image above.

Here the products I tried, tested and fell in love with during July.

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Siberia. I'd been after this foundation for what seemed like forever. It was always sold out when i've tried to purchase it, but I finally got my hands on it in July and I am so pleased I did. 

  

By Terry Ombre Blackstar Eyeshadow in Frozen Quartz A semi impulse buy which I was actively encouraged to pick up by some of my fave beauty bloggers on twitter. At £28.00 it isn't cheap, but my gosh is it amazing.

Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade in Taupe Another product I'd been craving for a very long time. I finally took the plunge and ordered 2 of them from Cult beauty. I've been using it a week, and It has changed my brow life.

Bourjois Shine Edition Lipstick - 26 is the perfect 'my lips but better' shade. I've fallen in love, madly and deeply with this lipstick and I've been wearing it non stop.

If you're stuck in a make up rut, I recommend every one of these products. I'm so happy to have picked them up, as they have been game changers for me this month! 

So that's it for this months, favourites post! Have you tried any of these products? I'd love to hear what products you fell in love with in July, maybe I'll pick them up in August! Let me know in the comments...

Bourjois Shine Edition Lipstick Review!

 

 If you're looking for a 'My Lips But Better' lipstick then this may well be the post for you. I picked up the Bourjois Shine Edition Lipstick (shade 26) In the Bourjois Paris Goodie bag I was so generously given at Graduate Fashion Week last month.

As you guys know, I'm a massive fan of a natural nude and pink lip and when I had a little rummage through my Bourjois bag I didn't really think much of this lipstick, purely based on the packaging alone. I'd never heard of the Bourjois Shine Edition range, nor had I ever had an interest in shiny glossy lipsticks.

A few weeks after I received it, curiosity got the better of me. When I opened the tube and realised that the lipstick wasn't the horrendous warm brown shade that the bottom of the tube suggested, but was in fact a gorgeous natural pink I was pleasantly surprised.

I love how close to my natural lip colour this lipstick actually is and it's what I like to call a 'lazy girl lipstick' as the colour works well to enhance the natural shade, with minimal effort. It also fades throughout the day in a natural way, meaning I don't find myself with lipstick left on the outer edges of my lips and nothing in the middle, which is certainly never a good look when you're glued to your desk at work with no mirror in sight. I'd say you get around 4-5 hours with this one. it's not the most long lasting, but as it's such a natural shade, it's no fuss to reapply - when you eventually get around to it.

This Bourjois Shine edition lipstick has unexpectedly found it's way into my go to lip product pile and honestly, I only wish I'd started wearing it sooner.

I'd love to hear about your favourite 'My lips but better' lipsticks. Which brands should I try next? Let me know in the comments.
