Firstly, I should apologise for the lack of posts this week, we've had some serious problems with the internet in our flat, that have left me Wifi-less since Monday. Just take a moment to consider how awful that is. Anyway, I snuck into a friends flat to shamelessly use their internet and SodaStream, so here are my September favourites!
Let's try and do this in some kind of logical order shall we? Starting with primer, at the beginning of the month I picked up L'Oreal's latest launch, their Skin Perfection Perfect Blur primer and I've used it pretty much everyday since. It's a lot thicker than any primer I've used before, which means it covers any pores, a nasty cut I had on my nose, and any other imperfections you would rather were blurred out of existance. I'm not sure that it really makes my makeup last any longer, but it does give my skin a more perfected look. On top of that, I've been reaching for Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation (not to be confused with the Radiance version) which is so light on your skin you barely feel like you're wearing a base, but with good coverage.
The two newest Chanel products in my stash just had to have a mention, Les Beiges and the Creme Blush in Revelation. Les Beiges gives your makeup some serious staying power, whilst giving that Hourglass powder effect of being airbrushed, whilst the blush is just a beautiful, natural colour, with great wear time.
Two eye products that definitely deserve a mention, the Bobbi Brown Rich Chocolate palette is the only eyeshadow product I've used all month. It contains every shade you could ever need, the colours are gorgeous and the formula is very soft whilst being super pigmented. Worth every penny if you can get your hands on it (I found it in Duty Free). I've only had MAC's Constructivist Paint Pot for two weeks of the month, but it definitely deserves to be included. This is a gorgeous gorgeous cream eyeshadow, if, like me, you are after a darker shadow that can easily be swept across the lid for a smokey winter look, look no further.
The last makeup item is Urban Decay's Revolution Lipsticks, I have Fiend and Turn On here. These lipsticks are just fantastic, Urban Decay have gotten these spot on. They have great pigmentation, they are creamy to apply but not glossy, and they last longer than any other lipstick I own. I will definitely be picking up a few more of these! (You can even enter my giveaway to win one here.)
One skincare favourite, and it has to be the coveted Trilogy Rosehip Oil, this stuff has done wonders for my skin. It's kept my skin hydrated, but not greasy, it's a lot plumper than it used to be, and if I get any spots it makes them heal and disappear much faster. Definitely worth the pennies.
A haircare favourite that I mentioned in this post. I inherited this off my boyfriends' mum, who didn't get on with it, but I absolutely love it. It's by Tigi and it's their Haute Iron Spray from their Sleek Mystique Collection. I spray this on each layer of my hair as I straighten it, and it leaves my hair glossy, frizzless and protects it from the heat too. The other haircare product I've been loving is the Phillip Kingsley Elasticizer, which has saved my hair.
A random favourite too, my new phone case! It's green and blue dip dye effect, and it's bumpy so it looks like it's wet! I really like it!
Also, I must put in a special mention for the drink I've discovered and been addicted to this month from Starbucks! It's Hibiscus Blend Tea, and is lovely on a cold autumnal morning.
What have you been loving this month?
