SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES


A few of these products I've had for a while which are rediscovers and others are brand new which i can't get enough of.

FACE
I cannot get enough of The Body Shop at the moment, their skin care is just so spot on, this Aloe Exfoliator is lovely to use after i've taken my make up off as i feel it really gets rid of all the bad stuff hidden in my skin, it leaves it feeling really clean and fresh.As most girls i try to cover my under eye circles as best as possible. I've tried many things over the years but nothing has quite come close to YSL Touche Eclat Highligher/Concealer. It really does make my under eyes look so much brighter without being shimmery. The only downside is i have found i need to top it up throughout the day but that's fine by me! I've been using this ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzer Powder for a while now, mainly for when i'm out and about as it's perfect the handbag size. The two shades work really well together and they're still pretty visible after a few hours wear. I'm a big fan of ELF and have a lot of their products in my collection but this has to be one of the best i've ever used.

EYES
I love these big eye shadow palettes, this is the 88 warm/natural one. I always go back to them when i'm after a specific colour. This one tends to come out around this time of year as a lot of the shades are autumnal. I'm experimenting a lot with my make up at the moment and trying out different looks so this has been perfect! I'm running very low of my Benefit 'They're Real' mascara so i reached for the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Waterproof out of my sample box and i'm glad i did as it's amazing! It actually works really well with 'they're real!' as a base as it gives me really long and thick lashes, i've found this one keeps my lashes in places too, no dropping on those eye lids! However, because it is waterproof it is a nightmare to get off. The best remover i've found, and the one i'm still loving is The Body Shop Camomille Waterproof Make Up Remover which i featured in July monthly faves.

LIPS
Ahhhhh MAC Velvet Teddy, the explanation for Kylie Jenners killer pout (or was it the botox?!) I've been on the hunt for this for weeks now and my twitter feed tells me a lot of you have been too! Finally, i managed to pick one up at the start of the week. Although I've only used this for a day, i just had to include it as it's just wonderful, it is just such a gorgeous colour! I have quite plumb lips anyway but this really adds to them. It's matte too which makes the colour look really natural and it's really long lasting. I feel like i should stock up! 


HAIR 
During September i started to have my hair straight a lot of the time, after months of having it curly i faniced a change. But sometimes my hair can look incredbly flat, with it being so long it can be heavy too. So i wanted to create something with a bit of volume and all these products came in handy. I could really do with a hair trim, but i hate getting my hair trimmed so i've used the Inca Oil to add some moisture to my ends and keep them going a little longer, the product has made such a difference actually and i've found my hair to be less firzzy too.The Toni & Guy Rough Texturiser is added to my roots for a lift and backcomb effect, i also spray this lightly throughout my hair. The dry forumlar means it's not sticky or weighty and used with the The Lee Stafford Big Fattest Silky Smoother Brush it kept my hair silky soft but with volume, The upwards direction of the natural horse hair leaves my locks looking lush!
