July top 10

The full citrusy sweet, sunny heat round up is here because ladies and gentlemen, it’s July! With an incredible top 10 to help you glow and look younger than ever, this beauty and skincare grab bag is the perfect cheat sheet for your next product run!


We are all after that anti-aging magical serum and one of my fave beauty secrets is the Agent Nateur – Holi(Body) Ageless Body serum. It nourishes and hydrates your skin while also renewing, which means you’re left with firmer and smoother skin. I love how silky it feels as I lather on the oil and I also love how quickly it absorbs so I’m not sticky or greasy.  

If you’re anything like me, I like a good-smelling sunscreen. I simply can’t stand having fragrant-free or sporty scents rubbed all over me – it’s just not my thing. But Coola - classic SPF 50 spray in Guava Mango scent certainly is my thing! It smells absolutely delicious and every time I wear it, someone asks what my perfume is. I swear!

Clarins - Fix’ Make Up is a light mist that is absolutely refreshing and makes your makeup last longer. It’s formulated with a delectable rose and grapefruit scent and contain moisturizing elements so you know it’s good for you. It’s also formulated with Clarins exclusive anti-pollution complex.

Called the “powerhouse’ of their skincare collection, this double action eye cream is the perfect cream for that under eye area. Ole Henriksen - Wrinkle Blur Bakuchiol Eye Gel Cream does it all: from reducing fine lines and wrinkles, increasing firmness and elasticity, and reducing dark circles, I always recommend this cream to anyone who asks.

Summer Fridays - shade drops SPF 30 is a Mineral Milk Sunscreen that is lightweight and reef-friendly. A great way to shield your skin from UV rays without leaving your skin dull or dry, Summer Fridays has hit the jackpot with this sunscreen, especially since the naturally derived tints blend in perfectly with your skin tone for a natural-looking finish (like no white streaks!).

One of my favourite lipsticks is the Guerlain - Kiss Kiss Bee in shade 809 Lavender Glow. Truth be told, I love a whole bunch of the shades, but this is my summer colour for sure. The Kiss Kiss collection is hydrating and plumping, so as a lipstick it does more than add great colour. With 98 % natural-origin ingredients, I feel good applying it to my lips, knowing that it not only looks good, but is good.

I’ve been a long-time fan of Caudalie. Their beauty and skincare products are absolutely incredible. The CAUDALIE - beauty elixir is vegan and 100% natural. I use it as an all-in-one face mist to help tighten your pores and leave your skin looking dewy and glowing. Made with mint and lemon balm essential oils as well as rosemary and rose, this is my secret product that I use to look photoshopped without actually photoshopping! 

Kerastase – Soleil Nourishing After Sun Spray is a hydrating oil-based spray I use to protect my hair post a day in the sun. Perfect to help style straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair types, the spray protects against sun damage and softens the frizz for extra shine.

I recently posted about High on Fun because their products really impressed me. From neon packaging to electric results, their products are quite incredible! High on Fun - covered in sunshine energizing cleansing powder changes colours on contact with water, and works to exfoliate, smooth, and clean your skin. When its hard work is done, you’re left with luminous skin. 

Mademoiselle Jules Jewelry - Uptown Pearl Necklace is made with fresh-water pearls. Strung on yellow cord, I designed this piece to bring out the natural therapy that yellow induces: optimism, happiness, and fun. I love pairing that colour therapy with the wisdom, purity and clarity of pearls. This necklace is the perfect classic piece for wedding season, but also works well with a t-shirt and jean look. Trust me, pearls can bring a feminine edge to any look with the right styling.
