Favourites | July

July is over, so it is time for my favourites of the past month. 

Beauty 

Rimmel Scandal Eye's Mascara | This one comes with a very long story, maybe not that long but anyways. I bought the waterproof version first and really liked it, but removing it with Bioderma wasn't the best idea. My eyes ended up being super red and achy, so I thought that I was allergic to waterproof make up. BUT a few weeks ago I bought and oil based make up remover and I haven't had a single problem with this mascara ever since. I really like it, it leaves no clumps, separates every lash beautifully and really opens up your eyes :) (Review and pictures coming soon ;))

L'oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Cellular serum | I was really scared that ever since I got my hair ombre-ed, it would be super dry so I immediately bought a serum and leave in conditioner (here below) and I'm so pleased with them. The serum really moisturises my ends and makes them shine so prettily.

Kinactif Hydrator Nutri Moisturising treatment for dry hair | This leave in conditioner makes my hair so easy to comb through, it's like magic ! I don't really like the smell though, but it works perfectly.

My hair donut | We have had quite a heatwave here in Belgium and my go to hairstyle on these extremely hot days (especially when I was babysitting) was a classic donut bun. A very quick, fresh and classy hairstyle ;)

Fashion

My new white converses | If you follow me on Tumblr, you know that I've been eyeing these for quite a while. But since I already did a full blogpost on them, I won't get any further into it now ;)

Basic black and white t-shirts | I bought these at H&M and they weren't expensive at all. Just those basic pieces that can help you even out and balance an outfit.

Fake glasses | I bought my fake glasses at Rock Werchter and I love them. I've been wanting these for a while and I really like to pair them with otherwise basic outfits, just making it a bit more interesting :)

WE Earrings | These earrings were on sale at WE and I decided that I could just go ahead and buy them, because it had been quite a while since I bought some earrings. I threw away all of my earrings last year, because they were really childish and they looked so cheap, so now I'm letting myself buy more expensive pieces once in a while to get my collection going again.

Lifestyle

YouTube : Bethany Mota a.k.a. Macbarbie07 | For those who don't know her, she makes beauty and fashion videos (and vlogs) :) aaaand I love her ! She is so funny and sweet :) Her videos are so good, I never disliked even one. Definitely go check out her channel, you won't regret it ;)

Music : Ben Howard and Bon Iver | I'm currently changing my taste in music, I believe (I was really into hipster music the past six months, but I'm going back to quiet folky music and popular music) These two though have never left my iTunes. These guys are amazing, their music is so soothing and calming. I actually saw them both live and that was even better than their albums, just per-fect. Especially in summer, I tend to blast these a lot ;)

Series : The White Queen | This new series started recently on BBC One and I'm obsessed ! Read more about it in my full blogpost :)

Book : The Great Gatsby | I finally finished this book and though I liked it, I think I'll need to read it another time to really understand and appreciate it. I must admit that I often read this when I was tired and fell asleep while reading, so some parts of the book are quite blurry :p It definitely deserves a second read !

Have a great august ! ^^

Beauty | Haul

Hi guys ! Me and my chum Hannah went on a shopping craze again and this is the result.

Make up
Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Mascara - I needed a waterproof mascara because mascara tends to smudge on me in summer and I've been wanting to try the Scandal Eyes for a while, so there's that.
Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in Ivory - I'm out of foundation so I thought I'd give this one a try :)
Catrice Allround Concealer pallet - I knew Hannah loved this one and I've been wanting to try it for about a year I think, but everytime I wanted to get it, the store was out of it. They were finally in stock, so I thought it was a sign send by the universe that I should get it ... ;)

Hair
Garnier Ultra Doux conditioner with avocado oil and shea butter - I love the hair mask of this range and because my hair is quite damaged from going ombre, I thought it would be a good idea to get a nourishing and moisturising conditioner like this one :)
L'oréal professionnel Absolut Repair cellular serum - This serum is said to repair damaged hair ends so I thought it would be nice to treat my ends after being ombre-ed.
Kinactif hydrator nutri - This is actually a moisturising treatment for dry hair, but when I asked the girl at the shop for a detangler she recommended this one, because it makes your hair really easy to comb through apparently. I've never heard of this brand, but I thought I'd give it a try ;)

+ the Belgian magazine Flair (because they were out of Elles and I needed something to read, haha :)) and some Oral B dental floss.

I'll review a couple of these products once I used them a sufficient amount of time and if you want a specific review on one of these, don't hesitate to comment ;)

Talk to you soon !
