Okay so first things first, I'M SORRY! This post is a few days late, but unfortunately it couldn't be avoided. Secondly, I can't believe August is already over and September is here! Before I dive into my favourites of August I just wanted to say a big thank you to those that contributed to Blogust here on my blog and a big thank you to my readers that have been coming back day after day to see what I've been offering up for your reading pleasure! Soppy bits aside, let's dive into my faves!
First up in the beauty favourites is an old love; the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. I've actually had a little bit of colour to my face this month so I've been having to mix it with a slightly darker foundation to get the colour that's right for me. This is such a fab base for the summer days when you need more coverage than a BB cream but you still want to feel like you're wearing nothing. It just gives my skin that super healthy glowy look, and I love it!
Next up is the Dior Diorshow Brow Fixing Gel in number 541, which is a sort of cool toned taupey golden tinted brow gel. I've been using this to set my brows no matter what I've been using to fill them in and it's been working really well. I know it's pricey for a brow gel, but it's a great colour, doesn't make my brows feel crispy and I really enjoy using it.
The Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus has been gracing my lashes every day that I've worn make up this month. For some reason as soon as the weather gets a little warm pretty much every mascara I use decides to melt onto my brown bone. Not a good look! A thin coating of the primer, pre-mascara, ensures that everything stays on my lashes, rather than spreading all over my face.
Finally for the beauty products I've discovered a three product nude lip love. First off I start with The Body Shop Lip Liner in the shade Pink Brown. I then use the Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick in the shade Pink Parfait(for some reason this looks super bright in the photo, I assure you it isn't!). You could leave it there but I personally like to pop the Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Air Kiss over the top. It just blends the lip pencil and lipstick together nicely and adds a subtle sheen.
I have two more favourites this month that aren't beauty related...This first one is of course Blogust! A lot of planning had to go into it as I was stepping up from 1 post a week to 5, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm also really grateful to Rebecca, Bethany, Erika and Liz who contributed guest posts, I'm sure we'll be seeing them around here again in the future!
My final favourite comes in the form of a big life change for me. I got into University! After two gruelling years of the nightmare that is A Levels it's finally all over and I'm heading to Uni to study Law at the end of September. I'm totally chuffed to bits.
So, that was my August! What have you guys been enjoying over the last month?
