July Favourites!

Hey everyone!! 
It's been forever since I've done a favourites post so I'm pretty excited right now and I hope you are too! I've only been loving a few products this month so this post wont be too long I just wanted to share my new loves with you! So lets get started!

BEAUTY FAVOURITES
24 Hour Revlon Colorstay  Foundation
"I'm addicted and I just cant get enough!" Lyrics just get me sometimes...
For a drug store brand, this foundation is FANTASTIC! It stays where you apply it and has amazing coverage. It never leaves my skin feeling dry or oily and it stays on forever! Don't skip washing your face when you wear this foundation. It stays on so well that your pores wont be able to breathe. Wash that face! Don't be lazy!

Real Techniques Buffing Brush
 This brush is God sent! Its my "go to" brush for my foundation and so far I swear by it. I favour this brush over my others because the short bristles really help you work your foundation into your skin for a flawless finish. Anther reason why I love this brush so much is it's durability. I'm tough on my brushes and go through them quite quickly but this one has stayed in tact and I'm pretty happy about that!

Revlon Photoready Pressed Powder -Translucent
So this is the first time I've tried Revlons translucent powder and I'm in love. I'm privy to their photoready powder in medium but because it's summer I don't want to have a heavy amount of make up on and I feel like this translucent powder allows my skin to breathe a little better then their pigmented powders. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm just going by how my skin feels during the day. this powder has shimmer in it so once applied it, the shimmer will catch in the light and highlight your natural features. You don't have to worry about reapplying this product. I

t hugs to the colorstay foundation and creates a flawless matte finish.

Goody Ouchless Elastics
If you have thick hair, then you already know.. These are a miracle! I've been loving these pony tails for years. I go through them so fast, mostly because I lose them or they eventually break. Anyway, most pony tails break in my hair instantly but these last quite a long time and they don't have a metal connector so no more hair being pulled out! They're called ouchless for a very good reason! Try these out! I'm so sure you''ll love them just as much as I do!

Goody Medium Claw Clips
When applying my make up or styling my hair, I grab these clips. When applying my make up I clip my hair behind me to keep it out of the way. When I style my hair I like to use these clips to keep my hair sectioned. I find the medium clips to be the perfect size for my thick hair. they stay secured and hold my hair in place extremely well. If you want an easy half up hair style, pick up these clips or if you just want your hair out of your face I recommend them for that as well.

MUSIC FAVOURITES

Currently LOVING Kat Dahlia! I think I'm in love again. I'm addicted to this song and can't get enough, it's constantly on replay or playing in my head. I think what I love most about this song is the fact that it's so relatable. I think a lot of us ave had that moment of "Here we go again." and this song captures it pretty well. give it a listen. I think you'll enjoy it just as much as I do.  

Lets be honest for a second........ we all have those moments when were jamming out to a song and we get right into it, to the point where you pray to God that no one is watching you.. For me that song is BBHMM By Rihanna. Seriously, guys I dont know what comes over me when I hear this song but for some reason I think I'm Rihanna and I try to be as tough as she is but lets be real for another second..I'm not. but there's no shame in having fun and thats what I do. I have to say though, this song is NOT for everyone! Especially the video, It's NSFW and watch at your own discretion

And that's all I have for you guys this month. Not a lot of favourites but definitely good ones. What have you been loving this Month? Make sure to tell me down below! Happy FriYAY Everyone!

6 Tips To Get Through A Break Up!

Breaking up SUCKS! But it's something we all have to go through sometime or another. So here are 6 tips that I find can help you get over your break up and help you move on!

Social Media
This might be the most dangerous place to be while going through a break up. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are the internet's hottest places to be. Everyone has an account on one or all of these social media's so figuring out what he/she is doing is so easy it's scary! My advice is to just STAY OFF SOCIAL MEDIA! You're going to see something you don't like and it's going to drive you mad. give your self 4 to 7 days without social media. Time to yourself is good anyway!

Friends
Friends are here for a reason so don't forget about them! They generally know you best so confiding in them will be easy and comfortable and they probably know just what you need to make you feel better and will help you through every stage of the break up! 

Be Sad 
Giving yourself time to be sad is crucial. Give yourself a two week time frame and say "Okay. This sucks but I have to deal with it."  That two week time frame is your time to let it all out and heal. It's also a good time to figure out your next move.

Write About It
There hasn't been one time in my life that I was unhappy at myself for writing something down. whether it's a song, poem, journal entry, or a letter to him/her you'll never send, just write it down. Writing is a no judgement zone. No one can interrupt you and make you feel bad for the emotions your having, because you're probably feeling a lot of them at this point. It's a great release. and sometimes looking back at the writing can make you happy because you get to see where you were and how far you've come when you read it.

Break Up Hair
So I've done this once before and two of my friends do it every time they go through a break up. They either cut their hair or colour it. personally I cut 4 inches off. Changing your hair can be kind of scary and it's not for everyone but it's nice in the sense that you no longer look the way you did in the relationship. new chapter new you!

Keep Busy
Don't sit in your room all day and night crying and eating brownies. Do that during your two weeks of being sad period. focus on trying new things, making more time for the things you love. do what you can to make sure the break up is not the only thing you're thinking about. 


Break ups suck but the hurt won't last forever. every break up leads you closer to the one you're suppose to be with and every relationship will teach you something about yourself or the world. so yes be sad but be hopeful and open minded for the future. the best things are yet to come! Hope these 6 tips help you out should you ever need them! Let me know what you think in the comments below!
