|September Favourites

It's that time again, favourites time! Not many again but it includes some items I don't think I have mentioned before.

|Seventeen primer
A while ago I was obsessed with this and bought 4! I've started using this again and remembered why I love it so much!

|NYX pin up mascara
I posted a review on this mascara when I first started my blog and I still love it! I will link the review. I think you can now get this is the UK, when I bought it I ordered it from the US.

|Along came betty mascara
This has been in my back up drawer for months and I decided to change my mascara. I don't usually use thin brushes but this is so good at reaching the roots and lengthening my lashes. It's also the best mascara I've ever used on my bottom lashes!

|Pro voke Blonde shampoo & Conditioner
I have used this on and off for about a year. I know a lot of people did like the smell but I really do like it! It tones you hair down after one wash. I have a full review here.

|Real Techniques blush brush 
I'm the type if person that with just use a brush for what it says but this brush has changed that!! I have started using this for my bronzer and it is the perfect size. It's fluffy and doesn't pick up too much product I would highly recommend this brush!

|Beyonce Heat perfume 
I have quite a lot of perfumes and this one seemed to have got neglected! This Is the one I have been using the whole month. It does have quite a strong musky/woody smell, so if you like that I think you will love this one!

Music of the month| September

I'm back with my music of the month for September!

Royal blood| 
I hadn't heard of Royal Blood before this month but I saw quite a few people mention them on Twitter and saw the album on spotify and gave it a listen. They are not what I usually listen too but I love the album!

Calvin Harris & John Newman| Blame

Most of Calvin Harris' songs are catchy and this is no different! It makes me think of summer, which is a nice change from the gloomy autumn days, which are now starting! 

Passenger| Hearts on fire
I first heard Passenger when he supported Ed Sheeran around 2 years ago! He has such a soothing voice and this is a beautiful song! 

Meghan Trainor| All about that bass 

I cannot stop listening to this song!! Its so catchy and I love the lyrics! I also love the video I just want all the outfits in it!

|The Top Ten Beauty Tag

Again another tag post sorry if you're getting bored of them! I just seem to be going trough a phase where I love answering them! 

1| Foundation.

My beloved Rimmel match perfection! I have never used a foundation that I such a perfect match as this one I use light porcelain.

2| Powder

I don't really need to use powder because I have dry skin, so only use it to set my make up. They powder I have been using is the collection pressed powder which is only £2! It is

3| Concealer

Kind of cheating but I have 2! Rimmel wake me up and the famous collection lasting perfection! these ones are raved about in the beauty blogger world but they are the best I have ever tried! 

4| Blush.

I'm really liking the make up revolution powder blushes at the moment. There is a range of shades and they are very pigmented and last a good amount of time! 

5| Bronzer.

Benefit hoola bronzer is one if the best I have ever tried. It's great for pale skin as it doesn't turn orange! I'm also a big fan of the sleek contour kit, the two are similar.

6| Highlighter.

I love the highlighter with the sleek contour kit, but I can't wait to try the balm mary Lou manizer highlighter.

7| Mascara.

I don't really have an all time favourite but the one I have been using the most is loreal miss manga

8| Eye Shadow.

I use a lot of different eye shadows from different brands so it is had to choose it was between Stila and make up revolution and to be honest at the moment I have been using make up revolution the most! 

9| Brows.

I don't really experiment when it comes to my eyebrows I have used the same product for about a year! It is the along came betty brow kit. I have recently bought the tunnel brow gel though and have been liking that.

10| Lip product.

Mac lipsticks are the best lipsticks I have tried up to now and my favourite shade is please me. For lip gloss it is Essence shine xxl glosses, they are soo good!!

Thanks for reading...

|Top 5 A/W lipsticks

I know that these might all look the same in the picture but I can assure you they are different! In A/W I prefer a dark Smokey and a nude lip to a bold lip but I do like to wear the odd dark lip colour!

MUA| shade 14

The darkest shade I own as I don't feel red are and other dark berry shade really suits me! I love purples and own about 4 but this one is the darkest.

MAC| Please Me

My favourite Mac lipstick as it goes with any make up look, this is Matte so it lasts a very long time.

Collection cream puff| cotton candy

I bought this quite recently and I love it! It is Matte and lasts a good few hours! I sometimes like to wear this with a little gloss on top and I think it makes the gloss last longer but that might just be me! 

Loreal| Cheryls nude 

I have spoken about this lipstick loads of times, so I won't go on to much but I think it is the perfect nude! Here is the link to the review. 

Seventeen| Beehive

This a peach with a hint of pink! Not really what you would think if for Autumn but as I like darker eye make this goes perfectly.

Thanks for reading...

Review |Pro Voke dry shampoo

I feel like I haven't reviewed a product for a while now and as I have been trying this for a few weeks so thought I would review it for you!

If you have read my blog before you will know that I always talk about the dove dry shampoo and how much I love it! This one is specifically for blonde hair, it is from the same range as the provoke  blonde shampoo as you can probably tell from the packaging. I really like this it smells amazing just like the shampoo! It is the first dry shampoo that has actually given me a lot of visible volume!

I will definitely be buying this again, it was only £1.99 and the I bought it from Savers I'm not too sure where else you can purchase it!

|Autumn/Winter Nails

I know it's fast approaching Autumn/Winter so I thought I would pick out my favourite season suitable colours! I do usually wear any colour all year round but I know some people do wear season appropriate colours!

                               

|Avon -Real Red
I love a red all year but I think it looks great in winter time. I always wear red all the time at Christmas time!! I tend to pair red with an accent nail of glitter! 

|Essie -Hors d'oeuvres

Gotta have a bit of sparkle in autumn/winter actually I love it all year round! 

|Barry M -Crush

It's says that this is matte but I don't think it is fully , it's kind of semi matte but I like it like that! I think this one may be the colour I wear the most this season. It goes with everything.

|Rimmel -Chic Cherry

The formula of this Polish is my favourite rimmel one. It goes on evenly and I like the big brush, it makes it easier to apply. This kind of fine silver running through it and gives it a kind of  iridescent look.

|Barry M -Bright Purple
This one is a bit darker when actually painted but I still like it! Purple is the colour I like to wear best on my nails! 

|Essie -Vested Interest
This shade is grey with hint of green. I think that grey nails look very chic and is a change rather than the reds, purples and black shades that are popular in this season.

Shoe Collection| Boots

I have a modest shoe collection but I do wear every pair!  I thought I would start with boots first and I will do desperate posts for my other types of shoes.

The order from left clockwise

Black and white healed| New look

I bought this in the sale earlier this year and they are so easy to walk in and I can see me getting a lot of use out of these this winter!

Black and gold boots| Tesco

Another pair I got in the sale for only £5! I have been wearing these a lot recently as they go with almost everything.

Brown boots| Bank

This are well loved boots that I wore all last winter, I do like tan boots as an alternative to black.I think I'm going to look for a new brown pair the season! 

Green chelsea boots| Bank

I found these in the back of my wardrobe a couple of months ago, I forgot I had bought them! I love chelsea boots I think they go with anything and look classy and stylish. These on do really hurt but I think that is because I haven't worn them much! 

Beige and white healed| Primark

I have worn these all summer even though they aren't very summery! Even though they were only £15 they are really good quality.

Pink Kickers| Asos

I ordered this last year from asos and on the site they looked pastel pink but they are actually neon! I love the style but the colour makes it hard to pair them with any outfit. I do love the style of them and I'm going to try and get more wear out of them as I do really like them!

You Beauty Discovery box| September Edition

This month's box is the first anniversary edition. As always you get to choose 2 products but they added an extra full size product because it is the anniversary box which was a Toni and guy volume whipping cream. You also got two Crabtree and evelyn tea bags and a make up sponge. Out of the 5/6 products to choose from I choose eyeko eye gel patches which I have been dying to try! I'm a bit obsessed with eye creams, gels and all eye products! The other product was a pixi tinted balm stick I got the colour unique pink, this gives a sheer, natural colour and I love the scent it's spearmint!

I'm very pleased with this month's box and look forward to choosing the next!

Review| Make up revolution blushing hearts

I have after this blush for what seems like absolutely ages! So when I saw an I heart make up stand in Superdrug I was thrilled!! At £4.99 it is a bargain as you get 4 blushes really because you can use each section alone or all together!
This blush is extremely pigmented! You only need the tiniest bit and I mean the tiniest as I found out when I applied it too heavy handed!!

Make up revolution has become one of my favourite brands since it launched and it can do no wrong in my eyes! 

Thanks for reading

Top 5| MUA Products

After my last top 5 post I thought I would make it into a series with different brands, I'm not sure how often they will be yet but I'm think around once a month.

1| Eye shadow Palettes £4
These are some of my favourite eyeshadow. They are such great value and highly pigmented. Some of my favourite palettes are undress me too, heaven and earth and the matte ever after. As you can see mine is very well loved!

2| Mosaic Blush ( English Rose) £2.50 
I have featured this blush before as it is one that I use frequently. It is pigmented but I think this would suit pale skin tones more as it gives a subtle glow.

3| Intense Kisses Lip Gloss £2.50
This Is the only colour I own in this gloss but I want more! It is very pigmented and lasts for a reasonable amount of time!

4| Single Eyeshadows £1
The single eyeshadows are available in a huge range of shades and for just £1 you can buy colours that are out of you comfort zone and not spend a lot! I own about 10 of these and my favourites are no.1 and 22.

5| Undress Your Skin Highlighter £3.50
One of the best drugstore highlighted I have used!  You get a lot of product for Very little price! I will link to my post of favourite drug store highlighters.
