SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES


SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES
Hello beauties, it's time to share my September favourites with y'all! I hope you pick up some good recommendations from this.


SUPERDRUG'S VITAMIN E REFRESHING TONING MIST | £2.99
First up is the Superdrug's Vitamin E Refreshing Toning Mist. A quick pick me item after I ran out of The Body Shop Vitamin E Hydrating Toner, which is one of my favourites due to it's thick hydrating texture. Vitamin E helps protect your skin from environmental damage and premature skin by combating harmful effects. This toning mist contains skin conditioning multivitamin complex which is why skin feels so soft, is extremely easy to use and instantly hydrates & absorbs easily into my skin.  I use this day and night and with it's coconut scent it wakens you up and smells incredible. For £2.99 you have to give this a go. So far I am really impressed with Superdrug's own brand products and I am excited to try out more of their products with their cleansing conditioner on my 'pick up' list.

MISSHA PERFECT COVER BB CREAM SHADE 23
I rediscovered the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in shade 23, which is one of my favourites alternatives to foundation, it does not break me out and has a build-able coverage depending on your application method. This BB cream comes out in a grey tone which is frightening at first but blends and adapts to your skin tone. The Missha BB Cream helps heal visible wrinkles and blemishes, prevents skin aging through whitening the skin. You will find most Korean brands contain whitening elements in their skincare.

 BB creams are great for summer (saying goodbye to that) and for a lighter coverage, I use this on stay at home / casual days for a easier and faster application. And with a damp beauty blender for a dewy finish. P.s it smells like baby wipes but it does not linger.

TOUCH OF SILVER INTENSIVE CONDITIONER | £3.19
Since dying my hair back in June, I have been trying to control the brassiness in my hair colour (not working so far) and picked up the Touch of Silver Shampoo and Conditioner. The shampoo did not make it to my favourites as it really dries out my hair, but the conditioner is nothing like I have every used before. The conditioner has a lilac/purple pigment that counteracts with the brassy tones, but it is the texture of the conditioner has really amazed me, a 10p size of product goes a long way in your hair. It almost feels like it foams and spreads, but does not have actual bubbles (do I make sense) I leave this in for about 3 minutes and this leaves my hair smelling incredible and extremely soft and tangle free.

LOVE ME BEAUTY EYELID TAPE
Some of you might find the following thing weird. It's eyelid tape. What is it for? I use it to even out my eyelids. I have a deeper and bigger eye crease fold on my right eye, so my left eye always seems more droopy, I stick this direct on the fold of my original/normal crease or where you want your crease to fold. 

 This has worked for me, but I can't say it will 100% work for you too. I seen results on my first night of using and leaving it on overnight and it was permanent for the next 2 days. Every time my eyelid droops again, I'll pop one back on and the next day it was seem almost even. I picked this in the Love Me Beauty Box, which was a on-off subscription and I can't find the link anymore but these are the closest shape to the ones I have. Have a look on my older beauty post and you will see the difference in my eyes BEFORE here, AFTER here.

NARS VELVET MATTE LIP PENCIL IN WALKYRIE | £19.00
NARS VELVET MATTE LIP PENCIL IN WALKYRIE | £19.00
Next some of you guys might have seen this from my Cohorted Beauty Box. The Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in the shade Walkyrie, a nude brown shade, which has a very 90's look. First of all it's matte, which I absoultely love. With it being a lip pencil I can precisely line and fake a cupid's bow haha. The colour is also really pigmented and longlasting, and does not rub off when I lick my lip (the air con makes my lips very dry) so thumbs up for this.

MILANI ILLUMINATING FACE POWDER 02 HERMOSA ROSE | £8.00
Last but not least. The Milani Illuminating Face Powder in 02 Hermosa Rose. This is a bronzer/highlighter for most people, but I like to use it as a blusher. Hermosa rose has a warm brown shade which enhances the warmth in your cheeks, which I really like as it gives a beautiful finish. I have an oval face, so I bronze and contour the hell out of my face. I picked this up from BeautyCrowd in my blog post here.

I hope you have enjoyed my favourites this month. What your's?
Until next time!
