July Favourites // 2020

Hello darlings.

How is it almost August?! This year has gone so fast, self isolation, maternity leave, the lock down etc. But saying that its given me lots of time to really get stuck into doing thins i've wanted to do for ages. I've really been getting back into makeup, home wear, fashion recently and really enjoying blogging and especially Instagram recently. (My Instagram @Perfectfixation_) Therefore i have my first favourites of the year! I know, July, five months into the year, but if not i'm not feeling it or loving it i'm not going to fake it. I only blog and talk about items that i am genuinely enjoying and want to write about. So here are a couple of products i've been loving.
Mac Bronzer £23.50: I only got this bronzer last month but i'm really enjoying it. The powder is a satin finish, giving a very luminous affect on the skin. 'Lit from within' i should say. The texture is creamy, very blendable. Its quite pigmentented, so a little goes a long way. A really nice product.

Channel No5 £113.00 for 100ml: This perfume i have been wearing a lot this month, I was blessed to receive a bottle of Chanel No5 from my dad on my 16th birthday. I had nagged him for ages, i wanted the perfume that Marilyn Monroe had worn, i was (and still am) obsessed with her. So i wanted to have the famous Chanel No5. Also because it was Chanel, it was so grown up and no one else i knew had anything Chanel. To me it smells the same as it did nearly 10 years ago but i'm aware that perfume changes scent over time, It has always been store away from direct sunlight and always kept in its original box to preserve it.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lipstick in 'Buff' £18.00: I got this lipstick from TKmaxx last year. I love the colour which is a beautiful pinky-mauve. Its quiet similar to MAC Mehr. Very pretty and pigmented shade. I always keep this one in my handbag, as its great for eveyday use and goes with most makeup looks. 

No7 Skin Illuminator £12.50: Lastly, if you follow me on Instagram you will see i talk about this product a lot. I love it, i use a thin layer of this product underneath my makeup. It gives me a healthy glow, very natural and its great for summer. Its quick and easy product great for busy mums or of you are on the go a lot.

I'd love to know what are some of your July favourites?

A sucker for a perfume advert....

Hello darlings

I don’t know about you but i LOVE perfume adverts, they are always so glamourous, sexy, mysterious, with great looking models and fabulous music. Plus I love when they have little stories attached to them.

They aren't always enough to make me buy the product as i am VERY fussy when it comes to what scent i want to wear. But i find them intriguing all the same. I'm also not a big fan of 'celebrities' perfumes, not to say there aren't some good ones, i've just never found one that i love and will stick with.
So i thought I would do a little post about a few of my favourites at the moment, 6 to be precise….

J'adore Dior - 'The Film' 


Audrey Tautou - Chanel No. 5 Perfume Commercial

 

Marilyn et N°5 - Inside CHANEL

 

Coco Mademoiselle: The Film – CHANEL

 

Dolce & Gabbana The One with Scarlett Johansson


Lady Million - Paco Rabanne



I hope you enjoyed this very random post!

I would love to know what some of your favourite perfumes are? And what do you think of perfume adverts?
