August Favourites

Seen as my last months favourites were late, this seems to have come around so quick! A lot of these favourites were things i took on holiday and loved, so without further ado...

Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation

I got this from Poundland believe it or not! After a week abroad my skin is definitely a few shades darker, but i didn't want to spend much money on a foundation ill only be using for the next couple of months. This is really smooth, and although its dark, its not too dark and like it says on the bottle, it really does blend into your skin colour.

Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades in Blushalicious (3.99) Boots - here

This was the only blusher i took on holiday so i used this everyday. Its SO pigmented and it will last me ages as you only need the tiniest amount on your brush. I haven't really used the bottom right shade, but i love all the others - i generally use a little of each on my cheeks everyday for a summery look

No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara in Black (12.50) Boots - here

I took 2 mascaras on holiday, and didn't even use the other one because this is so amazing. It makes my lashes really long and full, its easy to take off, and the brush feels like i gets right in-between each lash.

MAC Plusglass in Ample Pink (17) - here

Ive been wearing this during the day this month, as it seems to just go perfectly with whatever makeup i am wearing, not to mention it smells absolutely gorgeous. Its a subtle nude with a tiny hint of pink, and i always get compliments on this!

17 Ultimate Volume Lipgloss in Butterfly Cake (3.99) Boots - here

I wore this most evenings on holiday, and found its really stunning when the light catches it. Its a pretty pink with a subtle gold shimmer which is what makes it catch the light. It lasted even after a meal, and its in no way sticky - intact it was so smooth i couldn't stop rubbing my lips together!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain (5.99) Boots - here

I LOVE everything about this, the minty smell, the way it feels on my lips, and of course the colour. Its the perfect summer colour, but i will still be using this throughout the autumn as its just too good not to!

Bourjois 1 Second Gel Nail Polish Shade 14 - £5.99

(The false nails are Kiss)

I definitely saved the best til last! It was my birthday on the 1st September, and i luckily found this just in time - this is most definitely my favourite nail polish EVER. I felt like a true disney princess when i put this on

NOTD - Fruity Glitter !

L.A Colours - Jewel Tone

Collection 2000 - Fruit Salad

This is has fast become one my favourite combinations for summer, its the perfect peachy pinky coral shade (which seems to be the 'in' colour this year) and the sparkle just makes this that little bit more fun, and suitable for night time too!

Putting the glitter top coat on meant this lasted a WEEK, which is very good going in my eyes! The shimmer this gives off when in the sun is something you just don't get when you wear glitter at christmas time.

I must admit i LOVE the Fruit Salad without the glitter, and thats probably the more versatile option if you're fashion forward, but i think this just goes to show you don't have to save all your glitters for the festive season - they can add a touch of sparkle to your summer too!

My First BAD Review.. Temporary Lip Tattoos

This picture pretty much sums the whole thing up.

Basically for our recent dance competition we decided we wanted to be all fancy and sparkly and wear these..

 ...which resulted in me ordering 10 pairs for us , (£1.99 each) from ebay. Some of the other girls and I had already used these before, so we knew what we were getting into - or so we thought.


We all cut them to size together, and about 30 minutes before we were due to dance, we began the application process. 
THESE DID NOT WORK AT ALL.


Not one pair of lip tattoos stuck, and no matter how much we tried, there was just no sticking. Had this been just me applying them by myself, i would've just assumed i had done something wrong, but when 9 girls failed to get 1 pair to stick...


Its actually a real shame these didn't work, because as you can see from the photos they are  pure glitter, and would've looked amazing on stage. Instead we had to make do with some red lippy and red glitter, which actually probably looked better in the end!

Nail of the day

This isnt the best picture as im using my phone! This is MUA shade 1, and its a dark blue with glitter running through it, very wintery! First of all the price is amazing (only ￡1) , and i was curious as to whether the quality would reflect this! This polish did chip after a day, however after i swiftly applied another coat it did seem to stay put, and the glitter in it really shows up when reflected off light. Overall a good polish, and for a price you cant argue with, ill definitely be getting more of these!
