5 Songs I've Been Loving #1

Hey everyone,

I thought I'd do something a bit different and share with you a few of my favourite songs at the moment. I've really been loving discovering new artists and branching out with the genres of music that I usually listen to. So in this blog post I will be sharing with you 5 of my favourite songs from the month of July. 


I hope you enjoy!


No. 1 

Blue Lights - Jorja Smith



I've never come across this artist until recently when I heard it playing in a shop. Its a great take on the song "Sirens" by Dizzee Rascal...giving a much slower version, with less rap and much more harmonising.

No. 2

Longing For You - D/C



I came across this artist after discovering their song "I Love Gold" and ever since have been loving their unique sounds.

No. 3
Doses - Bonzai


I stumbled across this song from a missguided advert which recently played on the tv....

Ever since, I've been playing it non-stop...it's definitely very different to anything I usually listen to but I love it.

No. 4
Dancing On My Own - Calum Scott



You may have already heard this song before as it's currently number 10 in the UK Top Charts...I found it whilst listening to the music channel on tv and absolutely love his voice in it.

No. 5
Sometimes - Kiko Bun



This final song is much more summery and upbeat to the others, with a reggae beat and happy feel. It really puts me in a good mood when I listen to it :D

July Favourites

Hello everyone,

So today I thought I'd show you some of the product that I had been loving last month. I've rounded my July favourites down to 7 different products that I have been using constantly and loving:

The first product which I'm going to talking about is the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Fresh & Foamy Body Wash. I have been using this to wash constantly and I've been loving it! This body wash smells like freshly squeezed lemons and limes and its very fresh and foams up very easily.


This next product is the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash. When I wake up or before I go to sleep, I like to wash my face and recently I've been using this Neutrogena one. This face wash has helped me get rid of many annoying spots and it smells lovely and feels refreshing on my face.


This next one I got near the end of July and its the Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Matt Mermaid Look Texturizing Salt Spray. For a long time I've been wanting to get a good salt spray because my hair isn't naturally wavy and this seems to work for me. I have very thick hair and this product still works. It also smells lovely, like you're by the sea.



As it was July and summer was finally kicking in, I began to enjoy more fruity body sprays and this Ted Baker Body Spray was exactly what I needed. I unfortunately can't tell you the name or number of it because it came in a large set with many other products. This body spray is very fruity and light so it's not too strong for summer.


I have been wanting a liquid eyeliner for so long but wasn't sure if a black liquid line would be too much on my eyes but this eyeliner is perfect. It is the Bourjois Liner Feutre in Ultra Black. As I said before, I wasn't sure if black eyeliner would look to harsh on my eyes but this eyeliner is perfect because the felt-tip applicator makes it easy for you to control how much eyeliner you are willing to put on. You can use the very tip of the eyeliner for very fine lines or press harder for a more statement line which is thicker.


Revlon Lip Butters have been talked about a lot but they truly are the perfect lipstick. The one that I have been loving is the Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake. What I love about the Revlon lip butters is that they are so moisturizing and you can build up the pigmentation by applying more layers. I tend to apply this lipstick when I'm wearing a heavier eye look or just when I'm wearing neutrals.


The final product that I'm going to be talking about is the MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter.  This product is such good quality for only £3 and has such good pigmentation. This product gives your skin a beautiful pink sheen and looks great when the light shines on you.

Thank you for reading, make sure to follow me for more posts to come :)
