August Favourites!

This is my first ever monthly favourite post! I don't know why I haven't done one before, but I realised I have been using a few different things this month than usual, so I thought I would share them with you!
I have recently reviewed these products. I didn't know whether I would initially use them as much as I though, although I have fallen in love with these two powders & use them daily! So pigmented & affordable!
I have had this for god knows how long! I have just bought a Real Techniques Liner Brush (review to come!) to use with this, as I am not fond of the little brush that comes with this. As a gel liner, its great. Not too pricey, easy to apply, long lasting. The list could go on!
I use the top left shimmery shade as a lid colour, for days when I just want a simple eye look. I also blend the top third colour across the outer corner of my eye. I have been wearing this look all summer, with the gel liner, for a quick eye look, that lasts. This goes perfect with the blush out of my FashionistA palette!
Primark Donut Hair Bun
I always wondered what these were for, & always assumed they were for old people. Don't ask! Once I clicked on as to what these were actually for, I immediately picked one up for £1. If I couldn't get on with it, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I have been wearing this quite often recently, for the first time in years!
Dove Visible Effects Nourishing Body Lotion
I have had this since Christmas, but as I always have a stockpile of body products to get through, I sometimes neglect the simplest ones. This feels as though it is moisturising your skin so well. It feels as powerful the next day, as it did when you apply it, so if you're someone who doesn't mpoisturise oftenj, this is perfect & longlasting!

I currently have 3 hand creams on the go. This one sits on my bedside table, so I reach for this the most. I find this sinks into your skin quite quickly, meaning you don't need to waft your hands around until they are dry! It is more moisturising than my others, so I prefer this as a nightime hand cream.

I bought this from a discounted shop a while ago. I had completely neglected this, until I did a tidy of all my products. As I have quite oily skin, this is great to try & combat that, before applying my make up. I have really enjoyed using this in the warmer weeks!


For anyone that knows me, knows I have very fair brows. I have been so happy to experiment with this palette. I initially started to use the shade on the top left, as it is lighter, which in theory would suit my hair & blend better. This wasn't the case. It just made my brows look an unnatural shade. I then opted to tyr the top right darker shade. This is more for brunettes, but I use this sparingly & it works a treat!

So, these have been  the products I have been reaching for the most through August. Nothing special, but things that have been keeping me going. I like to try & mix up all my products, so I can bget through them all. This is quite a challenge, but its so nice to redisciver old favourites!
