September Favourites

Seriously. How is it October already? Oh my god! Anyway, here are my September Favourites!

 



 

1. Chanel Vitalumier Foundation- When I bought this foundation, I knew I was only going to wear this on special occasions, because of the price tag, I really don't want to wear it on a day to day basis! This month, I have had a few chances to wear it, and because I haven't worn it for a while, I fell back in love with it! It makes my skin look so flawless and perfect, I just love it so much! Although it is one of the most expensive products I own, it is totally worth it!

RRP: £32

 

2. Rimmel London Mono Blush in Santa Rose- Last week, I did a review of this blush, you can read it here so I wont go into too much detail, but this blush is amazing! It is really pigmented, and a gorgeous colour and for the price, it is amazing value!

RRP: £3.99

 

3. Maybelline 24h Gel Eyeliner- Again, I have a review of this here and this isn't the first time it has been in a monthly favourites. This month, I have been wearing this eyeliner every single day. For school, I have been wearing just a bit of this on my eyes instead of my usual natural eyeshadow; which is saying something, as I was never much of an eyeliner wearer for everyday! But it is just so quick and easy and lasts all day!

RRP: £7.99

 

4. Urban Decay Naked Palette Colours in Sin, Toasted and Hustle-

 

 

Whenever I have been going out, I have been wearing a combination of these colours. I have used Sin all over my lid first, then Toasted in my crease and Hustle in my outer V. Purple tones really compliment my green eyes, and I think these colours look beautiful together.

RRP: £32

 

Here are some FOTD pictures of me wearing the makeup I have spoken about above:

 

 

 

5. Redken Colour Extend- I received this in a She Said Beauty Box, and never really thought that much of it. But since I had my hair ombred, I have been reaching for this every day. It makes my hair so soft and shiny and really intensifies the blonde in my hair.

Not sure of the price as this is a sample size.

 

6. Avon Super Shock Mascara- I have used this mascara before, and I was given this as a gift a few weeks ago and remembered how much I liked it. It gives me really full looking lashes, and has a really big brush. If you don't like dry mascaras though, I would stay clear, as it is very dry!

Again, not sure of the price as it was a gift

 

7. Soap and Glory Flake Away- As it is fall now, soft legs should be the least of my worries, but with Florida coming up, I am keeping them in good condition! I bought this mini size exfoliator as I have read really good reviews about it, and I can see why! It leaves my legs so soft, especially using my Victoria's Secret Body Oil afterwards!

RRP: £2.50

TAG | 10 Products I Would Repurchase

 

I have seen this TAG floating around the Internet, and thought it was right up my street. These are 10 products that I will repurchase when they run out, and that are, in my opinion, worth the money!

 

1. Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation- This is, hands down, my favourite drug store/ high street foundation. I have a very old review here. It is really amazing, and today, I think I got the very last bit out. Once I've used up my Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, I'll defiantly be buying a new one!

RRP: £8.99

 

2. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat- I use this usually only on special occasions, as it has such a hefty price tag, but when I do, it gives my face such radiance. I use it under my eyes, on my cheek bones, brow bone and cupids bow. It is such a beautiful, luxury product that I really enjoy using! I use it sparingly, so it will last a while!

RRP: £24.50

 

3. Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara- I am currently in the process of using up all of my mascaras that I have on the go. When I am mascaraless, this will be the one I go for! Its hard to believe, but I have never bought the same mascara twice- not because I haven't liked it, but because I like to branch out and try new ones, but this mascara has stood out as my favourite!

RRP: £7.99

 

4. Topshop Cream Blush in Flush- For school, this is the blush I reach for. As much as I love my MAC blush, there is a little too much shimmer, and I usually opt for the more natural look. This blush blends beautifully, and is the perfect colour for me. I have a full review here.

RRP: £6

 

5. MUA Professional Eye Primer- This eye primer has been my favourite for ages now. For me, it trumps Urban Decay Primer Potion. I have oily lids, and this primer ensures my eyeshadow stays on all day, no matter what the weather.

RRP: £2.50

 

6. Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24h- My full review for this product is here. Having only ever used pencil and liquid liners before this one, I wasn't really sure what to expect from gel, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I love the consistency, and it is really easy to work with.

RRP: £7.99

 

7. MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy- Sometimes I feel a black eyeliner can be a little too intense on me. So most days, I wear this in my water and tight line. It is a lot more natural looking, and MAC eyeliners are so pigmented, you barley need to press on your eye! This one is such an unusual colour too, I haven't seen many shimmery bronzes on the market. My full review is here.

RRP: £14

 

8. Technic Highlights- This is a dupe for Benefits Highbeam, available at Bodycare. It is really inexpensive. I own both and I prefer the consistency of this one. It gives exactly the same finish, if not better!

RRP: £1.99

 

9. Collection Cream Puff in Cotton Candy- I have been using these nearly everyday, and have had a lot of compliments. They are so easy to wear, and you can pair them with a lipstick as well as on their own. They are really moisturising. Not to mention great value for money!

RRP: £2.99

 

10. Urban Decay Naked Palette- This and my MAC Palette are my most used and loved eyeshadows, but I decided to include this one in the TAG as my MAC palette isn't full. I love all the colours in this palette and they are just amazing quality. I wont babble on, as I've gone about it so much before, but it really is one amazing palette!

RRP: £35

July Favourites!

July has gone by so fast this year! It has without a doubt been the quickest month. I've been so busy recently, and I decided to do a blog post instead of a video this month, as I think my blog deserves a bit of TLC!

Here are my favourites of this month!

1. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation I have found that I've loved this foundation a little more, each time I've used it. I've got a review coming shortly, so I wont go into too much depth about it, but it is an amazing foundation for the money, and its lightweight, so perfect for this time of year.

RRP £9.99

2. St Tropez Gradual Tan Most of the time in summer, I cant be bothered to fake tan, so I either wait for the sun or stay white; I can never get into a routine. But although this is a Gradual Tan because it is in the darkest shade, on my skin, after one use I am a nice colour the day after.

RRP: (I got mine with ELLE magazine but usually £14.30)



3. Maybelline Lasting Drama 24h Gel Eyeliner I have a review of this product here and it has shot to my favourite eyeliner. It is so easy to apply, and you can create natural or dramatic looks. I wear it day to day and to go out. The brush that it comes with is really good too.

RRP: £7.99

4. Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24h in On and On Bronze I have another one of these in Eternal Gold, and I love them both. They stay on all day with virtually no creasing. They are fantastic quality and value for money, and I want to try the bright turquoise colour for holidays!

RRP: £4.99

5. 17 Wild Curls Mascara I've had this mascara a while, and don't really use it on its own, but when I layer it on top of my Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara, I get an amazing result. Curl, volume and length! I managed to get this for £1 as I had a voucher in Boots so it was a great buy!

RRP: £6.29

6. MAC Lipstick in Creme Cup This is my favourite lipstick. I wear it all the time, and with any makeup look. Its so versitile and such a lovely colour. It would suit so many skin tones! I have a review of it here so again, I wont go into too much detail!

RRP: £13.50

I now have some non-beauty favourites. MacBarbie07 always includes non-beauty favourites, and I think its really fun to do!

1. M&S Rhubarb & Custard Sparkling Drink After seeing Fleur and Zoe post a picture of this on instagram, I knew I had to try it. And it has to be one of the best drinks. EVER. It tastes exactly like the sweets! I really want to try the Pineapple Cubes version...

2. Sarah Winman When God Was a Rabbit My Mum recommended this book to me, and I totally 'judged a book by its cover.' I didn't think it would be any good. But I've got into it, and its brilliant! Defiantly worth a look at! (And its not actually about God, which was my first impression)!

3. Hot Chelle Rae This month, Hot Chelle Rae has been all I've been listening too! I've completely fell in love with their music! Its so upbeat! My favourites are Tonight Tonight Downtown Girl Whatever and Forever Unstoppable Go and check them out!

4. Curiously Cinnamons These haven't just been my cereal, but if I want a snack, these are who I turn too! They are the best cereal in the world!

What are your July Favourites?
