August has been a very busy month and September will be even more hectic, so finding the time to blog has been very hard! I am still totally in love with my July Favourites and I am still using everything through to this month, but there are a few things I would like to add!
I’ll start with a product which I have previously written about, MAC‘s Mineralize Skin Finish Natural. The thing that has kept my reaching for this throughout the month has to how moisturising this powder feels on my skin. I still can’t understand how a powder can feel the way that this one does! I can’t wait to purchase one of the highlighters from the Mineralize Skin Finish range (I have my eyes firmly set on LightScape – although the popularity of Soft and Gentle might lead me to buying both!)
I love a glowing tan all year round, and my skin seems to suit darker more olive-y glows. I try to stay clear of the word orange as much as possible, but sometimes this colour can be unavoidable. This month the was a promotion on for £5 off all St Tropez products, I had just finished my amazing bottle of Xen-tan so thought it would be fun to try something new! So I picked up a bottle of St Tropez mousse in Dark for about £21 with the offer. I love it, but I can’t decide if I like my Xen more. As its dark, a little goes along way! So I see this tan being somewhat of an investment as it will last me a while.
If you read my August GlossyBox post you would know that I received an exfoliating facial polish by Urban Veda, at that moment in time I was unable to review the products as it was more of an unavailing of what I had received. The box this month was really poor, I liked the eyelash curlers, and this. This is incredible and I am defiantly re-purchasing AND trying out their whole range! The smell, the feel, the packaging, the ingredients, price, just everything is great, I can not fault it in anyway.
Next are some bargain beauty’s which I was soooo lucky to find! I picked these two Rimmel Lipsticks up from ‘The Factory Shop’ which is a discount, end of line type of shop that sells everything from make up to clothes, garden stuff and just everything. They were £1 each, its crazy. So after my exciting purchase I went home logged onto bloglovin’ to catch up and saw a post on the exact lipstick I had just bought ‘Nottinghill Nude‘, which apparently is an amazing dupe/copy of Tom Fords ‘Spanish Pink‘ – a sought after colour, but coming in at £36 it is just simply out of my price range! ‘Oxford St Fuchsia’ is just lovely as well, a very subtle pink that can be worn with a dramatic smokey eye or no make up at all.
Last month I couldn’t stop using Black Fluid by Lady Gaga, I still love it, but it’s running dangerously low, so I thought I would go back to using an old favourite every now and again. Ralph by Ralph Lauren is a lovely fruity sent with fresh floral notes and I have grown to love it all over again! Its about £25 for 30ml (depending on where you buy it)
Now for an un-beauty related favourite! I never used to like popcorn unless it was smothered in toffee butter one million calorie stuff. I never had it at the cinema as to me it was just boring. BUT at the beginning of the month I was watching what I was eating and fancied a little treat, and I found these. ‘Propercorn Popcorn‘ the fairly large size surprised me when I found out that one bag was only 128 calories! They are wholegrain and air popped. I love the Sweet’n’Salt flavour but they have a great variety! I would highly recommend them!
