Key Items of July

Every month I have products sneak into my makeup bag and make a nice cozy little home, these products also like to outshine all the other products inside the bag and this month I have a good handful that have really come through.

The first is my MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation in NC15, I bought this a couple of months ago to set my makeup, but I actually find it way too heavy for a setting powder. These days I use it as a powder foundation. When the weather heats up I get an extremely oily face so this has been saving my bacon for the last few weeks. If you are more of an oily person I would definitely recommend investing in this, the coverage is amazing, the shade range is huge and the lasting power is excellent. 

Another product I've fished out from the back of the makeup draw is the Rituals Perfection Volume Mascara. I got this as a sample a while ago now and I always forget just how much I love it. Not only does it not move an inch all day, it is also amazingly lengthening and separating. This is now pretty difficult to get hold of in a full size, but after a bit of internet digging, I found a few sites that sell it. 

On the eyeliner front I have the Bourjois Liner Feutre Eyeliner Pen. I did both a written and video review for this so I won't blab on about it too much, but as someone who hates eyeliner pens, this one has definitely made an impression.  

Finally, we have the L'Oreal Brow Artist Superliner Pencil in Brunette. I'm not usually one for pencils when it comes to brows, but after using shadow for so long I wanted to try something a bit different. There's nothing overly special about this, pencil wise, it's nicely pigmented and soft enough to blend out etc. The main thing I like about this is that it does everything I would need to do with my brows in one handy pencil. The brush attached to the lid is great for grooming the brows and the best thing is the wax pencil on the opposite end to set everything into place. 

I've been hectically rushing around this month and that has meant that makeup application time has been extremely short. All of these products are super quick to use and have amazing staying power, something that myself, working two jobs (sometimes on the same day) definitely needs in their makeup bag.
