July is my favorite month of the year, since it's my birthday and that's when the real summer plans start to come to life, great summer nights, weekend vacays, etc. This July went by in a jiffy and my favorites are basics I pretty much relied on all month.
First of all, I made the recent discovery of this setting spray from Urban Decay. I have always thought that setting sprays were kind of a scam, regular water packaged under a brand name, but this time it was the real deal. The Urban Decay all nighter setting spray really keeps your make up on during the whole day. I spray this baby on in the morning around 8 am after my makeup routine and I come back home around 6 pm looking the exact same. This product really deserves a good try and to help Sephora sells a mini try-out version at around 12$CAN.
I cannot talk enough about this deodorant, the Donna Karan Cashmere Mist that I have been using for the past 1 1/2 month, so I will keep it short and sweet : smells ridiculously amazing, does not stain your clothes, even the black shirts and really stays put all day.
If you cannot notice, I have been obsessed with the Origins brand, so I have been discovering all types of products and I have never been disappointed. The Origins Vitazing SPF15 moisturizer is the perfect face cream for the summer, it contains a sun protector that does not give the white overcast with flash photography and moisturizes your skin without leaving you oily during the day. All in all, the perfect summer cream to apply alone or under makeup, since it contains a nice sheer tint that unifies your skin.
My lips are back to life thanks to the Nuxe Rêve de Miel lip balm. This product has a lot of hype of the Internet and I was sceptic to try it, to the cost of being really disappointed. I am so happy I made the step to purchase it, because I have never found a lip balm that moisturizes my lips this much, without leaving them greasy or sticky. A definite purchase for all lip balm lovers !
Finally, my one and only Nike Free Run 3 running shoes. You cannot understand what this shoe does to your feet until you try them on, it is like having a permanent foot massage while your walking or running. I searched all of Manhattan for these and finally got them on sale, woot woot !
I am even contemplating getting another pair, because you honestly cannot go wrong !
What are your July faves ?!?
