August Favourites

Happy September, everyone! Last month was largely comprised of preparation, packaging and saying goodbyes. While there was a lot of room for beauty shopping while I was out and about buying essentials, I held back in anticipation of the shopping that would come in Paris, and for this reason most of my favourites this month are old products that have stood the test of time for me.

Custom Coverage

As someone who swears by sponges, finding a face brush that I love as much, possibly even more, is a big deal. While I love the finish a sponge can give, I did notice how much product they suck up and how much more foundation I needed to get a light coverage. After trialling the Expert Face Brush from Real Techniques for a while, and seeing how much other loved it while I didn't, I figured brushes just weren't for me.

This is my very first favourites post and something that I've been wanting to do for awhile. I'm either too scatterbrained to post one on time or feel like I've talked about everything too much already. This month was different and I felt like I had a unique set of items that could warrant a favourites post!

One of my biggest favourites of the month, maybe even the year, was my newly landed Lorac Pro Palette. This is even more stunning than I imagined and the quality is utter perfection. I've been experimenting with the colours and finishes a lot and can't wait to talk a little more in depth about what I think of it. With this palette came the Lorac Behind the Scenes eye primer which I've also been loving. The consistency is really nice and it definitely makes the shadows look more beautiful and last longer. Another primer sample that appeared in my makeup bag this month was the bareMinerals 'Prime Time' face primer. I have to say I like this better than The Body Shop Insta Blur that I was raving about just a week or two ago. I think I'll have to splurge and get the full size when this little guy runs out.

It's been a big month in terms of brows. I've gotten my brow routine down with the help of a few key products. My Eco Tools brow styling brush may look pretty simple, but it makes all the difference. I never used to take the time to brush out my brows, but with the help of this my powder application is so much smoother and overall looks more polished. With a full review here it's clear to see that I love the Maybelline Brow Drama brow gel. I've always stuck to clear gels in the past, but the tinting really makes all the difference and adds some dimension to my brows.

Since spring is here on my side of the globe I've been having some serious autumn envy. However, I've been trying to incorporate some bright, easy to wear colours back into my every day routine. Maybelline's Lip Butter in 'Sweet Tart' has been a staple for me since I started wearing makeup. It bright, beautiful and so, so moisturising. Along with the spring vibes, even though I wear it all year round, is Marc Jacob's 'Daisy'. It's such a fresh, floral scent and Daisy Dream is definitely going on my Christmas list.

I've been wearing the floral, flowly shirt above all month as the warmer weather has started to show. Paired with highwaisted skinny jeans it's great for the days you want to experience the warmth of the sun on your arms, but it's still a bit chilly for a dress. Finally, I've been obsessed with my chunky platforms that I picked up from Missguided awhile ago. I've actually had a few chances to wear them this month which makes me happy. This picture does them no justice, I am completely obsessed with them!

What have you been loving this month?
