August Favourites

 Another month has been and gone, and I'm starting to feel old. Where is my life going?!

I haven't done much this month as I've basically been working the entire time. But I still managed to rustle up a few favourites to share with you.

First up was a purchase I made back in July, the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. I used this years ago and decided to buy another one since everyone seems to rave about it. Anyway, it's definitely worth the hype, it's super creamy, feels lovely on your skin and gets makeup off a treat. 

I also finally bit the bullet and bought Grease Lightening, after picking up sample after sample and still being on the fence about it. I've come to the decision that I do really like it, it's a great spot treatment, it dries them out and gets rid of them super fast. Winner in my book.

The last skincare item is the Origins Ginzing Moisturiser. I'm not gonna say too much about this since I'll be doing a full review of this Wednesday, so come back then to see that! 

Two bases made the cut this month, the Diorskin Nude BB Creme for days when I want a little less coverage, and Max Factor Facefinity when I was at work or going out. I'm obsessed with the Dior BB Creme, it's the best BB Creme I've ever tried by far, with decent coverage but natural looking. Facefinity is my favourite high coverage foundation, it stays put all day and gives a gorgeous, flawless matte finish.

Two lip products that I bought this month and have been obsessed with, are the Baby Lips in Cherry Me and the Bourjois Colour Boost in Red Sunrise. I just love these!

Since I bought my NARS And God Created the Woman palette, my Isolde Duo has been neglected, but I've been loving wearing this a lot this month, paired with a flick of gel black eyeliner. 

Last up, on my nails has been Essie's Watermelon. I love the colour but I think there's something wrong with the formula since it's always really gritty. Strange.

What products have you been loving this month?

Red Sky at Night, Shepherd's Delight!

 Top to bottom: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Kiss Me Coral, Bourjois Colour Boost in Red Sunrise and Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon

I tried really hard to resist this latest release from Bourjois. Already being the proud owner of the Max Factor, Rimmel, Revlon and Clinique lip crayons with similar finishes, I was trying to persuade myself that I really didn't need another one. However, whilst browsing that weird corner of Fenwicks that has the four year old bottles of Essie polishes, Lipstick Queen and bath bombs that look like they've been half used, I found these with three pounds off. They had all the colours, but I knew I wouldn't actually ever wear the others, so I settled for Red Sunrise.

And I have to say, I'm impressed. It's much more pigmented than I ever thought it would be, you can see in the above photo that it's even more pigmented than my Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon. Colour-wise, it's just on the slightly pink side of pure red, which makes it super wearable. It's a super glossy finish, and it doesn't have that horrible smell and taste like the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stains. It's easy to apply without a mirror, and it lasts well on the lips. Thumbs up all round if you ask me!
