September Makeup Favourites

Hello! 
So basically it's coming to the end of another month so i thought i'd make a post on my September makeup favourites.
I always mix up my makeup items so i thought this would be interesting as the products would usually be different, but as for skin/body/hair care i normally use the same things over and over again so i haven't included any of that in this post but i will for sure in the future!
Hope you enjoy! xxx




They're real mascara by benefit

1) This first product i've been using for 7 weeks. That time has gone soo quickly! but anyway, i first used this mascara for the first time on the 12th August and to be honest i wasn't impressed. I expected a lot from this mascara as its highly raved about on blogs and YouTube.  But i continued to use it and i can say i'm really enjoying it now. I think its probably because the mascara has dried out a bit and the formula isn't as wet anymore. This mascara does my lashes wonders! it doesn't clump a lot (but you have to be careful otherwise it will!) It really brings volume to my lashes and lifts them, which makes my eyes stand out. I'm not one to buy and spend a lot of money on mascara as i hate to spend money and then be disappointed with it but i think this mascara i must repurchase. i did buy this mini version in a magazine but i will eventually buy the full size (or ask for it for Christmas!) 


Bourjois paris bronzer in '51'
MUA blush in 'English rose'
 
2) My next favourite is a combination. The bronzer i apply first and then i apply the blush further down onto my cheek then blend it upwards to blend into the bronzer. I think they both compliment each other lovely. Both products are quite sheer but its fine because that means i don't have to spend ages blending them out. I've been finding that i've been using both of these most days as it doesn't take much effort at all. It's quick, simple and easy for the mornings when i don't have long to get ready for college. Both products are cheap too which is a bonus!


Rimmel Stay Matt powder. '003 soft beige'

3) My next favourite is a powder. This powder is amazing. As you can tell from the picture this powder is sadly coming to an end, but not to worry, it's only £3.99! 
Recently my skin has been crazy, starts of dry in the mornings (which is normal) but throughout the day it goes really oily, which is very strange for me because i've never experience oily skin. So this powder has been a life saver this month! honestly it's amazing! 


Mac Paint pot in 'painterly'
Revlon satin solo eyeshadow in 'nude slip'

4) Next & last on my favourites list is two eye products. On the left is a Mac paint pot in 'painterly' i use this paint point every single day without fail (well on days that i wear eyeshadows which normally is everyday!) and it's such a perfect base for any shadow and you can wear it on its own but i prefer to wear it like a eye primer as it really does help keep your eyeshadow on all day. I do my makeup about 7am and it still looks perfect about when i take my makeup off, around 7pm. The paint pot is expensive at £14 but i totally think it's worth it. I will continue to use this product and i will 100% repurchase when i need to, but saying that, i've had this paint pot for almost 2 years! so it has lasted ages and still has loads left!!  
On the right is a solo eyeshadow by Revlon It's basically a really shimmery nude. It looks absolutely gorgeous in the crease of my eyelids. I've been reaching more to this during this month for some reason.. i just think it's easy to use and looks so pretty on the eyes!



Thankyou for reading!
Love,
