Yes its favourites time again!!! I'm sorry its nearly been a month since my last posts but I had assumed after my last couple I would receive my two new beauty boxes for this month and have a few more posts up a bit sooner!! Sadly :( neither box has arrived so while I wait I thought I would put together a post of all my current favourites from the month!!!
Most of the products this month are fairly new to my collection they are products I have picked over time and have been sitting in my draw waiting to be tried or things that I have seen wanted to try but have waited till they were on special to buy!!! I also have a few shop my stash items that are ones I find myself reaching for again and again!!! Apologies in advance that some of the swatch photos are a little dodgy I am still working on capturing decent ones. But I really wanted to include them this month to show you these gorgeous products out of the pan and tubes!!
Prestige Ultimate Eye Definer Eyeliner Precision in 01 Blackest Black.
This is literally the ultimate eye pencil for me!! This is the first pencil eyeliner I have found that goes on smooth, creamy, doesn't skip, smudges nicely and stays all day. Its an intense black that doesn't fade to grey either so no extra matte black shadow is required. I just love how smooth it goes on and that even when your hand isn't the steadiest the line is still continuous and smooth. It also has a handy smudger sponge on the opposite end which is great for on the go!!!
The next two products I will include in a future mascara madness but I had to add them to this post as well.....
I have been struggling with new mascaras lately when I first start a new mascara my eyes seem to be fine for the first couple of wears but by the end of the week of wearing it everyday or even every other day I cannot get through without my eyes getting irritated by the mascara I find myself having to take it off to stop the itching. That was until I found these two they have been a god send!! Giving me great lashes with no irritation all month long!!!
Prestige My Blackest Lashes Intense Black Volume Mascara in MLB-01 Blackest Black.
This is a gorgeous mascara not only because it has been comfortable to wear but also because it just gives you beautiful lashes without any extra effort. The formula glides on giving amazing definition and volume without clumps or flakes and the brush is also small enough that you can catch the bottom lashes as well without smudging. I love how the brush gives volume and not just puts a look tonne of product on your lashes that eventually clumps, flakes or peels off!!! I would repurchase in a heart beat!!!
Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara in Lots of Lashes Blackest Black.
I bought this simply because of the heart shaped wand!! Its rounded at one end and tappers to a point at the other so if you hold the wand vertically its the shape of a heart. I had heard a lot about the great lash mascaras that they are perfect for a more natural lash look which is exactly what you get but what I really enjoy about this mascara is using the rounder end of the brush to flare out my lashes slightly giving a little bit of curl and extra definition!!
Maybelline New York 24hr Colour Tattoo Metal in the shade 70 Barley Branded.
This is a you tube made me buy it product!! I have seen this in so many hauls and tutorials that I just had to buy!! Barley Branded is a soft gold shade which not only makes a really great base colour for all the neutral eye shadows I own but also this and a little bit of liner makes for a quick look on the go. I have worn this most of the month I enjoy that it stays all day (even if its a bit harder to get off at night tattoo by name and nature) doesn't travel all over your face and pairs with mostly all the other shadows in my collection.
Covergirl Lipperfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in 270 Cocoa Blush.
This is one of the latest lip products from Covergirl and its a cross between a lipstick and a gloss. Cocoa Blush is a pink/brown toned nude which for me really is a my lips but better colour and being such a natural tone its really easy to wear and overall these products are really easy to wear. They just glide on no liner or mirror required and they last a decent amount of time and while I don't get alot of hydration type feel from this balm it doesn't dry out my lips either which I really love. Have really enjoyed just being able to put on and go without too much fuss this month.
Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer
This duo is one that no sooner leaves my makeup bag and somehow finds its way back in again. My first reason I am loving this product this month is the mirror I have come to realise how little mirrors are included in alot of prouducts at the moment. I have also been trying to carry a little less around with me so to have a mirror included in a makeup item already in my makeup bag is one less thing I have carry. The second reason and primarily why this always ends up back into my makeup bag is the blush!!! This pink coral tone with gold shimmer is just amazing its my go to blush as it gives the perfect glow to the cheeks and it looks amazing every time, its also really pigmented so you don't need alot of product and it lasts all day!!!!. While it pairs well with the bronzer beside it is a little too dark for me and I tend not to use it overall though it is the perfect compact for any makeup bag.
theBalm Frat Boy shadow/blush
This is an all time favorite of mine and again one that makes it back into the makeup bag often!! Frat boy is a pink peach tone that warms up the cheeks and gives an amazing glow. Its extreamly pigmented so a light hand is required and also lasts all day. I love this blush not only because it looks great every time I put it on but because it is matte and I like having the option of glow without the shimmer or glitter!!! I know it is on the pricey side but theBalm make amazing powder products that are worth the spend!!!
So that ends my favourites for September the month has gone so quick.
I hope that you've had a great month!!! Until my next post Happy reading and Happy Shopping!!
Ever.
