August Favourites








Okay, So it's SEPTEMBER ALREADY! This year is just flying by. Here are my favourites for the month of August. 

Primark Sultry False Eyelashes
These are my favourite eyelashes ever. They are the perfect length and the band is nice and flexible but not too thin that it breaks after one use. The lashes have a nice fan and are soft which makes them easy to blend in with your natural lashes. I always apply a coat of mascara on my false lashes to give them the same texture as my natural lashes for a better blend. At only £1 from Primark these lashes are an absolute bargain and I stock up every time I go in.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara
This mascara has a narrow plastic wand which helps to get right in to the lashes and separate them. It says that it has fibres which are supposed to attach to your lashes and add more length. I am lucky enough to have long eyelashes naturally but I still think it makes a difference. I had this mascara before in a yellow tube which was black, but the one now in the black tube is extra black. To be honest I can't tell the difference.

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm - Audacious
I have not stopped wearing this through the summer months. Orange has become my favourite lip colour. This is a super pigmented matte colour and stays in place for hours. I think this is a wearable colour for autumn but I might have to ditch it when it gets to winter. 

Primark Brow Pencil
Another Primark beauty product I have been loving is the eyebrow pencil. This is only £1 and has the pencil on one end and a spoolie on the other. Perfect. It comes in 3 colours I think. Blonde, Medium Brown and Dark Brown. Mine is the Medium brown. Not much else to say really. It's just a brow pencil.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation
Everyone talks about this foundation but I was scared to move away from my Rimmel Wake Me Up. But...I like this one better. It sits so nicely on my skin and doesn't shimmer in the sunlight like the Rimmel. I like that they have a shade light enough for me too as sometimes I find the lightest Rimmel Shade too pale for me. Thumbs up Borjois, this is my new fave!

Lee Stafford Treatment for Hair That Never Grows Past a certain Length.
I have been using this for about 18 months now but I try to only purchase it from Boots when they have it on offer at 3 for £12. Normal RRP is £8 so that is a big difference. I use it once or twice a week and I feel like it gives my hair more strength and nourishment to help it grow. And it smells good! 

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance
This is a leave in conditioning spray.I have come back to this product after trying out others. I spray it in after I have washed my hair, even when I have conditioned it, for extra silkiness. It leaves my hair feeling so soft and Aussie is one of the best smelling hair products. I also sometimes use it in between washes if my hair is looking a bit dry.

That is it for this month. Let me know what your favourites are and they could end up in my September post.
