Favourites: August

Hello my lovlies! 

I am sure you have heard this a million times already BUT I cannot believe its august already! where has this year gone?! I do not know. However I can't wait because I love autumn/winter time.. hot chocolates, scarves, boots and dark lippy baby ;-) 

Lets jump right into my favourites for the past month: 

1. Crown brushes: Here I have the C405 Angle Contour Blush brush and the C441 Pro Blending Crease brush. I have been using these brushes to death this month. The contour brush is perfect for blush, contour or highlight and I have been using it for all three. The blending brush is incredibly soft and buffs out any harsh eyeshadow lines perfectly. I would highly recommend these brushes as they are very affordable and brilliant quality. 

2. Mac lipstick in patisserie: This is the perfect my lips but better lipstick, its a lustre finish so the colour pay off is only sheer. However since I have been working so much lately that's exactly what I have been wanting... and the smell!! DIVINE!! 

3. Benefits hoola bronzer: Again I have been loving this, however instead of using this to contour I have been using it to give myself an all over glow. Perfect for summer time! 

4. Benefits bella bamba: I am in love with Benefits boxed powders lately I own three but hoping to pick up some more. This one is a pretty pink shade with silver sheen running through it. It has been compared to Nars orgasm however I would say it is orgasms frosty sister, Its more blue toned. This has been perfect for adding a bit of life and definition to my face and because of the shimmer no need to highlight! Wooo! Also it smells great, honestly next time your near a counter smell it. LOL 

5. The Body Shop vitamin E day cream: This has been a staple in my skincare since February, it was perfect during winter to keep my skin hydrated and it still keeps my skin nice and plump during summer without being too heavy. I just love all of the vitamin E range from The body Shop.  

6. Ysl Touche eclat foundation: I have been loving this foundation ever since I used my points to buy it. I have done a more in depth review here. 

7. Garnier Eye roll on in medium: I use this product daily! It contains caffeine so it instantly wakes up the eye area up and okay coverage but I usually layer something over the top. The main thing I need this for is to reduce puffiness around my eyes and it does a great job! 

So there you have it guys my August favourites. Let me know what your favourites have been for the past month.

Favourites: July

Hello my fellow beauty obsessed friends, 

Today's post is my July favourites, I'm sure you will have come across posts like this before but in case you haven't I will be telling you about all the products I have loved this month and why I have been loving them. 

1. First up we have Garnier Body Ultimate Beauty Oil: This oil is great as it has a spray so you can just spritz it all over your body as soon as you jump out of the shower. Its great at locking in moisture and giving the skin a nice healthy glow which is what when the weather is as a gorgeous as it has been these last few weeks. 

2. The body shop body mist in Mango: This is a lovely summer sent that easy and light to wear and I got this for half price early on in the month. BARGAIN! 

3. Mac MSF natural in Medium dark: This is not for those with oily skin it will no nothing for keeping oiliness at bay. However I have dry skin mainly but  can get a little sweaty during the hotter months. I find this is theonly powder that does not cake up on me  no matter how much I apply I can get over how much I love this stuff. Its smooths our skin and locks foundation in so that you have a flawless yet natural complexion. HOLY GRAIL product for sure!!!

4. YSL False lash effect mascara: Again another HOLY GRAIL product this just does everything for my lashes that I could possibly want lengthens, thickens, the works!!! My eyelashes just love this stuff. 

5. Benefit Hoola Bronzer: I have always had trouble finding the right shade to contour with. I used to use sleek contour kit but found that it was just making me look muddy as the colour was too warm. This hoola bronzer is perfect because its cool toned and looks like a perfect shadow shade for contouring. 

6. Benefit Dallas blush: This is yet again another HOLY GRAIL product its the perfect colour and it is the only blush that I can use without contouring so its great for those days where I don't have much time. Its a pinkish brown colour that has a slight shimmer however the shimmer is hardly noticeable. 

7. 17 Instant Glow in gold bronze: This is an amazing dupe for Bobbi Browns shimmer brick or Diors Amber diamond. It gives a perfect sunkissed glow definitely a firm favourite for summer. 

8. Urban decay All Nighter spray:  This is a must have if your a sweaty betty like me! This has been amazing for summer party's  I will spray this all over my face before a BBQ or night out and my make-up will stay put and slip and slide everywhere. MUST HAVE ladies!!! 

And that's it for my July favourites  I know a lot of them are holy grail product but that is because this is my first favourites posts so I had to include my firm favourites. 

If you have any questions or want more detail regarding these product leave and comment below as I always try and reply to everyone.
