August Favourites

 

August has flown by but I cannot complain as I’m really excited for what September has in store. So to put an end to a cold winter and to kick off spring with style, I thought I would do a August Beauty Favourites post, enjoy. Xx

August launched my love (or obsession) with lip products and these four have been my top picks for the month.

Back row L-R:

NYX Round Lipstick in Fig – A gorgeous deep pink colour, my “beach to bar” lipstick while I was on holidays.

Bloom Sheer Colour Lipstick in Coral – A fab sheer coral that looks beautiful for day time and smells of lollies J I have been wearing this to work and getting many complements.

SLA Rich Bio Lipstick in 11 – Day or night, anything goes with this dusty pink rose colour. SLA’s Bio range is made from all natural ingredients and this lipstick applies nicely and is long lasting.

Front:

Mirenesse Velvet Lip Lift Moisture Shine in Anemone – One of the samples I received in my first Lust Have It box. Officially a lip plumper, my favourite thing about this gloss is the colour; it’s a nice wearable nude pink. True to its name it applies like velvet and has a nice shine. Once on, I do notice that my lips look slightly plump without the annoying tingling or sting.

L-R: NYX Fig, Bloom Coral, SLA 11 and Mirenesse Anemone

Bloom Sheer Colour Cream in Natural

I love cream blushes thanks to Bloom. The Sheer Colour Cream is such a nice wearable colour for both day and night and to apply I use my Sigma Duo Fibre F50 and lightly pat onto cheeks to build the desired look.

NARS Laguna Bronzer and Orgasm Blush

I’ve heard and read the rave reviews time and time again so I finally caved and purchased the infamous bronzer and blush and of course – I love them.

Any NARS lover can understand my devastation when I dropped my Orgasm Blush and it cracked!! In desperation, I jumped onto YouTube and conducted make-up surgery with the “alcohol pressing method” and although (thank goodness) it applies the same… it will never look the same again L.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Also received in my Lust Have It box (look out for my September box review), I used this product once and I loved how smooth and soft my skin felt instantly after use. The product is a unique rice-based enzyme powder, that when mixed with water creates an exfoliating paste that is gentle enough to use daily but gritty enough to leave your skin smooth and soft. I will be definitely purchasing the full size when I finish my sample.

So what were your beauty favourites for August?
