September Favorites
September has literally
flown by, the evenings have got shorter and the nights longer but thankfully
the weather has remained friendly. This month I have not been using a lot of
new products but of course I have found a few favorite products to pamper
myself with. Without further ado I shall begin sharing what I believe are “Great Little Finds”!
Perfume – Addict 2 by Dior
This is one of my all time
favorite perfume. No matter what perfume I am drawn towards I always return to
this perfume. I simply love it. The scent is really floral with strong hint
musk and a hint of fruits. The scent really does linger but is in no way strong
or of-putting. It is feminine, fresh and I find it uplifting maybe because I
tend to wear it so much I holds memories. Overall it I simply love this perfume
and recommend any one who likes a fresh light scent that has a hint of summer
to it to try this perfume.
Lipstick – Shy Girl by MAC
I have been going through
a real lipstick phase and I always find it difficult to find a lipstick that
can be worn every day, has staying power and looks delicate yet polished (if
that makes sense!!). While tiding my make up collection recently I stumbled
across this little gem. This Lipstick is part of the Crème Sheen collection. This
lipstick is a nude shade with tones of peachy pink. It is really warm neural
colour that I find can be worn with a lot of different make up looks. It
brightens up your make up look no matter how subtle your look or it can act as
a warm nude teamed with a dramatic smoky eye. I have two of these lipsticks,
one almost gone and a new one ready to use so that is testimony in itself as to
how much I use it. My lips always feel moisturized when I am wearing it and the
colour and light gloss does have staying power as it lasts hours. A very
popular shade by MAC means that it can sometimes be difficult to find but
defiantly worth the effort to find.
Makeup Brushes - MAC – NO 217
Slowly over the last few years I have been building up my makeup brush collection.
I like different brushes from different brands like Real Techniques and Benefit
but one of my most used brushes and most favourite brushes is this one the 217
by MAC. This is a blending brush for the application of eye shadow. It is a
large fluffy brush with white soft bristles. It is a little dense which only
adds to its effectiveness. It allows you to have perfect control over the
blending of eye shadows meaning you can achieve the perfect look that you want
to achieve. I really like using this brush and recommend it as part of your
make up brush collection.
Eye shadows – Rimmel’s Scandal eyes Shadow Sticks
I am really new to using these eye shadow sticks by Rimmel but I have to
say I am so glad to have tried them. I recently purchased two shades Bad Girl
Bronze and Bulletproof Beige and have used them so much.
Bad Girl Bronze is a rich brown shade that is so easily worn.
Bulletproof Beige is a delicate nude shade that adds a nice sheen and is
perfect to act as a high lighter for the brow bone. These eye shadows are
really pigmented and rich. The application is really smooth as the product is
soft but also easy to apply with precision. Both shades have shine and look
very rich. One element of this product that I really like its blend-ability, I
like to mix shades and this product allows for this. I look forward to trying
more shades.
Bath Time – Bath and
Shower Gels by Treacle Moon
I found these little
delights while doing my weekly shop in Tesco a few months ago and I have grown
to love them. These bath and shower gels smell amazing and leave the skin
feeling soft and smooth. My favorites are the mango, the lavender and the
melon. These products smell exactly like mango (fruity and fresh), lavender
(relaxing and rich) and melon (fresh and light). Each bottle is 500 mls so they
last ages, priced really reasonably and lots of variety to choose from. One
little element of each product that I like is the little poem written on each
bottle. Each variety has a different poem and there is just something really
nice about each poem. I have included a photo of each poem I hope you can read
them and enjoy them as much as I do. These products have taught me that luxury
does not have to come with a hefty price tag.
I have one major dislike this month, Clinques Clarifying
Lotion from the 3 step programme. I was looking forward to trying this range
but I was very disappointed. I found the clarifying lotion to be really harsh
and very potent. I had a reaction to it (in the form of breakouts) and felt as
if it striped my skin. I stopped using it after two weeks and am still trying
to reverse the harshness my skin experienced. I am sure this three step system
is by cliques is excellent for some users it just did not suit my skin.
Other likes this month:
- ¬
September means the return of good T.V shows
like Homelands and Revenge……roll on the lazy chilly nights of the couch
watching t.v
- ¬
Scarves – I love scarves and this time of the
year is perfect for a large chiffon scarf to keep you cosy
- ¬
Herbal tea – I love Twingings Sleep Tea. This
tea is a combination of camomile, lavender and vanilla with a hint of honey for
sweetness. It is naturally caffeine free so it is perfect for a little down
time before bedtime.
September has been a busy month but a good month too. I hope
you try one or two (or all ) of my favourite products from September and I hope
you enjoy them as much as I have.
As always I shall ask you to leave a comment below telling
me what you have been enjoying using this month as I love to hear about them
and of course I love to try new products.
