It’s August 6th and yes I am a tiny bit late in doing this.
I Blame it on having a really amazing summer!
Less than 2 Days left to enter my August Giveaway Loves! So If You haven’t entered already and you subscribe to my site then Go ahead if You want To. The Giveaway post is HERE. Next Month my giveaway will be in the middle of September, as I will be getting settled in, after my move – So Enter or Share – Whatever you Like.
Make up wise, This summer has been all about a very minimalist look. Toronto has had the most gorgeous weather!!!! Clothing wise -well I am not a minimalist ! That’s a whole other post/topic. I’ll be talking more about fashion in the fall.
So Here are My Favourites for July 2015

I am In Love with this Book -Truly -Madly- Deeply.
I learned so much about SO MUCH – And the very best thing about that – Is To realize – I have so MUCH to learn! Make sense ?!
Here is my VERY Favourite chapter

MyLipAddiction.com
Sea Glass makes a great bookmark!
This chapter in particular spoke to me. I am a Naturally High energy kind of woman. I do meditate and have done for years. I Practice Yoga, I walk everywhere. This chapter reminded me to calm down More. Social media and all that is for 9-5. After that – I pretty much shut everything down. I turn my phone off at 10, unless I am out – Obviously! and I don’t respond to emails past 5pm. This Chapter reminded me that – My Time is My time. It’s all about balance really, and This book has taught me more about integrating MORE balance and making Cat time a Serious Priority.
Minimalist Face cream which I talked about HERE – is not only a July Favourite. It’s a Forever Favourite. For sensitive skin like mine – It’s perfection. Enough Said!
Pure + Simple Flawless Complexion in the shade Biscotti
This BB cream matches my skin perfectly! I don’t like heavy foundations and never have. I always feel like my skin is not breathing if I wear something heavy.
It’s so Difficult to find something that has broad spectrum SPF, is naturally based and Matches!
Well I am super happy I don’t have to hunt down foundations any more.
This one is perfect for me
Here is a Swatch from their site.

It’s perfect !
Although I did receive the above products Gratis * These are my views.
Onwards to more Favourites of July!
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer
Smells delicious. Easy To wear -I don’t need much, perfect with a bb cream for a very natural look. I can add more if I want to contour my cheekbones, but really this summer has been and continues to be all about Light on my face – No sharp edges. A natural Look. Of course I love Too Faced as they are Vegan and their packaging always makes me smile. Uber Girly!
This scent is pure summer in a rollerball. The funny thing is – (and this could totally be my nose), I find that it smells better and better as the day goes by. It smells warmer and warmer – which I adore. It smells Like a day at the beach. Jasmine, Sea spray and mandarin. I will be wearing this throughout winter – To remind me of Summer – My favourite season.
And lastly two lippies that I have been wearing a Ton !
Here are the Swatches

Aria a lovely magenta plum
and
Rosa a Yummy bubblegum pink
Rosa is great for daytime summer lips and lasts and lasts and Aria is perfect for evening.
I find that Rosa lasts longer on my Lips and I don’t know why that is. I do apply them with a lip brush to get precise application, because If I mess up – It takes forever to take off .
So Thats it for now loves!
Thanks for stopping by!!!!!
I’m the same as you, my skin feels like it is suffocating if I wear foundation – a bb or cc cream is as close as I can get to foundation.
Those liquid lipsticks look so great!
Hope you are having a great week love! xoxo

Hey you changed your header image! Looks nice! 🙂
I used to be really into Pure + Simple but there isn’t a location near me now so I’ve kind of forgotten about the brand – ooops! I used to get facials from them too.
Ugh I really NEED to smell this BB Beach perfume. So many raves about this. I bet it’ll smell like an ashtray on me – things that smell good on other people just don’t seem to work with my chemistry for some reason.
Great favourites list! Aug 6th isn’t too late, cuz um mine is going up tomorrow! 😀

hi xxxx thanks for noticing my new logo – LOVE IT XO their facials must be beautiful though ….. i am obviously in love with the minimalist line – i wish there was scratch and sniff tech love – seriously – i don’t think it would smell like an “ashtray ” HA – u crack me up so hard —————–Go take a sniff and lemme know what you think – i think it was one of the original perfumes to smell like THE BEACH – and now there are so many …. Too many and they smell really cheap You know ?
Bobbi Brown’s smells AUTHENTIC BEACHY – smells REAL – if that makes sense ………… i will for sure check yours tomorrow xo

I looked up the notes on the BB Beach and it’s only got 4 notes listed: Jasmine, Mandarin Orange, sea water and sand. What does SAND smell like??? I’m shocked that coconut isn’t a note in this!

no coco smell ,…………. the new ones or FAKE BEACH ones have that suntan smell – like the old school tanning oils … without SPF lol …….. the sand is like Sandalwood – warmth ————– honestly i can’t smell too much of the mandarin – what i smell the most is Jasmine ———- which is warm warm – so if u dont like warm scents – don’t go for it – if you do – it would be perfect …. honestly can’t smell the citrus at all …. x
