August Favourites

Hello lovelies!

Here are some products I've been loving in August :)

Top to bottom; left to right:

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Moisturising Conditioner - Got this as a treat for myself (and my hair!) a couple of weeks back and now I remember why I love the Sheer Blonde range from John Frieda! I try not to use it every time I wash my hair as I want to use it for as long as possible however when I do use it, my hair feels softer, shinier and moisturised. I love it!

Garnier Oil Free BB Cream - This is rapidly becoming my most worn foundation, it's amazing! It's lightweight but gives amazing coverage. I've written a full review on it here so check that out if you want to see what I think in more detail :)

Lily by Stella McCartney eau de parfum - I recently got this while on holiday with my family and I love it! The scent is so light, fresh and easy to wear day or night.

Estee Lauder Lip Gloss in Rock Candy - Also recently hauled this, my aunt gave this to me as she got it as a freebie (she spends a lot at Estee Lauder!!) and didn't want it. I haven't been into gloss much recently but I absolutely love wearing this over MAC Hue and Estee Lauder Crystal Baby! It's such a pretty gloss, and it smells so nice too. The formula is great, it's non sticky and lasts for ages!

Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait - recently rediscovered this and have been loving it recently. It's a great natural dark peachy colour that just looks so pretty on the lips!

MaxFactor Creme Puff Powder in Translucent - another rediscovered product! My Rimmel Stay Matte powder is currently too light for me as I've been on holiday so started using this one again and love it. The colour matches me perfectly and the formula is great and keeps my skin from looking oily for hours!

Essie 'Cute As A Button' Nail Lacquer - only bought this this month too but have been wearing it non stop! It's such a perfect summer colour and the formula is amazing. I won't go on about it too much as I have a full review here so check that out if you want to know more!

Thanks for reading! What have you been loving this month?

Last Friday I had a girly night with my Aunt which consisted of food at Prezzo then watching films and drinking fizzy wine! But anyway, this is what I did to my face.

What's In My Travel Makeup Bag?

I'm off on holiday tomorrow and have just finished deciding what makeup to take and thought I'd show you!

FACE:

Primer - Benefit's Porefessional (sample size)
Foundations - Light coverage; L'oreal True Match in Rose Ivory, Medium/Heavy Coverage; Revlon Colourstay in Buff
Concealer - Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair
Powder - Max Factor Translucent Powder
Blush/Bronzer/Highlight - Estee Lauder Blush/Bronzer/Highlight Trio*
Brushes - Contour/blush brush, powder brush and sponges for foundation application


I'm taking two foundations as I want to be able to wear a good coverage foundation in the evening but also have a light one for day wear if needed.

EYES:

Primer - Maybelline Coverstick Concealer in Ivory
Eye-shadow - MUA Heaven and Earth Palette
Brows - Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel
Eye-liners - Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Black, Black Kohl Pencil eye-liner (came with a set from Boots)
Mascara - L'oreal Volume Million Lashes in Extra Black
Brushes/Tools - Eye Shadow brush, Sharpener, Eye liner brush (came with gel liner)


LIPS:

Lip Balm - Vitamin E SPF 15 Lip Balm by The Body Shop

Lipsticks - (l-r) Revlon Lip Butter in Cotton Candy, L'oreal Caresse Lipsticks in Dating Coral and Tempting Lilac, Estee Lauder Pure Colour Lipstick in Crystal Baby

Choosing which lipsticks to take was definitely the hardest! Recently I haven't been into lip glosses, so I don't plan on taking any. I'm also in two minds about taking a lip-liner but if I do, it would be the Revlon Colorstay Lip-liner in Pink :)

If I don't get round to posting tomorrow then I'm sorry!! I'm back July 11th so expect regular posting after that (and maybe even some holiday snaps!) :)

Thanks for reading!
