Aug-September Favourites

Hola kiddies

guess what? I have finally sat down and flushed out all the excess bullshit in the library (yes the library, my WIFI is not connected so i'm doing this for you mucky lot) and....i have decided to do my favourites blog! I'm not sure when my last favourites was or why it takes me so long to do these so it's more of a favourites since my last favourites blog rather than a monthly favourites! Does that make sense? I don't know. Fuck it!

Ok...Where to start....

Make-up wise i've been using the same products quite a bit recently simply because i have spent all my money on room supplies and such fourth so i haven't really had a lot of spare cash to spend on products however i've had my eye on a few things so i'm guessing after payday ill put up a blog of what i bought and what i thought of the things i bought (poet, didn't know it) saying that i LOVE my new Bourjous Paris Delice de Soleil Bronzing Powder. I meantioned this is a previous blog "New Purchases" and can honestly say this was my favourite product i bought that day. I use this bronzer every day and every night out without fail, its perfect for contouring my cheek bones and it gives me a bit of a bronzed glow without it turning too orange or too powdery either. I have used it everyday since i got it and i haven't even touched the bottom yet so i would 100% reccomend this product to everyone and the mirror is just insanly useful for train journies and even in lectures. For £8.99 it's a complete bargain and just go out and buy it and see. It does come with a brush however i tend not to use the brush as i don't rave about the shape of it but it's a perfect bronzer in my opinion and the smell is just mm mm mm.



Another thing i love using at the moment is the Dior facial cleanser...now i understand that this product isn't in anyones price range and students are probably reading this going "hell no" or skipping this part as soon as they read the word Dior but it is an absolute god send! I got it on my travels, i actually hadn't starting traveling yet and picked it up at Paris Airport thinking it would be nice for on the plane and it has become a sort of holy grail skin care product if you will. The packaging is beautiful and the smell is divine too! I can't exactly remember the price of this and i bought in Euros to but it was rather expensive i will say that! It's a creamy texture and it does actually leave a lot of excess which is the only negative thing i have to mention. I use one pump every time and i then wipe the excess of with a cotton pad. I'm half way through the bottle and using it daily so for 4 months that's a pretty good going.



The body product i have been loving this month is the Garnier Body Tonic Firming Nourishing Milk (bit of a mouth full i'll admit)! Since my tan is fading and i'm doing everything possible in my power to prevent or slow this process down at least i have been moisturising the hell out of my skin and when my previous one ran out i picked this up. It has green tea extracts and caffeine blended into it in order to make your skin firmer and regain some elasticity...as i'm not 100 i'm not having issues with saggy skin but it did make my skin feel and look better after about a week of using this. The thing i really really like about this product is that is absorbs so fast and you don't have any of the wet slippery feeling you get afterwards with some other products, this basically just sinks into the skin straight away.




Finally a lip balm...of course! Burts Bees! I got these in America and they are divine. I tried pretty much all the lip balms from Burt's bees and they all do the same job in a terrific way and the other day i was walking around Holland and Barrats and found a whole section of Burt's Bees i didn't even know existed in the UK so i topped up and bought a few more there. They are nourishing and some have subtle colouring however they only really last on your lips for about 10-15 maximum before you feel like you need to top up but they do leave your lips feeling extra soft.



They are all my beauty/body favourite...not that many i know but give a kid a break i've been busy what with catching up with old friends to saying bye to those going to uni/going to uni myself.
I promise from now on i'll be firing blogs out like it's my fucking job

peace and love home birds

  2. These look like great picks! I love Burt's Bees chapsticks, especially in the fall and winter when it's dryer out. Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
