July Favourites.


Just a few things I've been really enjoying using lately and a couple of bargains i just had to share.


I'm sure you've all heard of the new benefit fragrance 'Ring my Bella'. I had, but only got the chance to smell it the other day, and I bought it there and then!
It's gorgeous, I'm not very good at describing scents, so all I can say is it is well worth a trip to boots to give a go!


Next up is the V05 miracle concentrate oil for hair. The first time I used this I couldn't get over how soft it made my hair, I've been raving about it at every opportunity.
You simply rub a couple drops between your hands and apply to hair, I've found it works best applied on wet hair and left to dry.

I've become a little nail-obsessed this year! And this month has been no exception, there's been no specific colour theme, though the china glaze one was discounted to £1 in Sally's!


How cute is this little necklace, £2 from primark!

Nars eyeshadow in Mekong.
So pigmented, and much less harsh than black in a smokey eye.
£7 from TK Maxx!

Nina Ricci Blush in '02 Rose Strass'
I used to have some Nina Ricci cosmetics back in the 1990's, but to be honest i wasn't aware her cosmetics were still in production!
But Craig and i discovered a place called 'Boundary Mills' accidentally which sells discounted clothes, homeware, cosmetics, perfume and more, like TK Maxx but better.
This blush was £11.99 reduced to £2.50!


This gorgeous bronze nail varnish was also £2.50, originally around the £9 mark, reminds me alot of the Dior one that did the rounds at Christmastime!

I hope you're all well and have enjoyed reading about my bargains!
