Hey Guys! I cannot believe we are in September already, it's the end of summer and I cannot wait for Autumn & Winter! Bring on cold nights with blankets and hot chocolate! I have also started to see sneak peaks of Holiday 2017 products and gifts & it's got me very excited for Christmas! Anyway back to August, as most of you know I had surgery at the start of the month and unfortunately suffered an internal bleed and was quite poorly. I talk a little more about this next week in my From The Blogger Series over on my lifestyle tab! But because of the surgery I didn't get to try much new make up, but instead focussed on skincare and pampering myself. Also as my blog keeps growing and evolving, I will keep changing little bits, like from now on I want to include a product of the month, something I have been loving throughout that month and thought that this was a good way to show which ever product it is off a little. So without further ado lets jump in! Product Of The Month L'Oréal Lash Paradise! So although I haven't been wearing make up a lot which I have, I have been loving this! I have even been using the mascara on it's own with a fresh face. This mascara really does steal the show, it lengthens, adds volume and there is no clumping even when you layer up!

It was in place to be product of the month until the L'Oréal Lash Paradise became available. This blush is a gorgeous cool pink tone. Whether you use them altogether or one at a time, the outcome is always gorgeous.. It is more of a subtle blusher which I do prefer, however it is also buildable. This was £16 from Beautybay.com there is several different shades to chose from.. This is probably one of my favourite purchases of the year. 3. Anatomicals Face Masks I was lucky enough to have these sent to me from Anatomicals & I absolutely loved using them & have carried on using them. I have since been out and purchased them all for myself so I can continue to use them and keep them as a permanent part of my skincare routine. Everyone of the masks left my skin smooth, hydrated and left my skin looking clear. None of them irritated my sensitive skin! Read My Full Review Here. 4. Rimmel Shimmer Brick 02 I purchased this from Superdrug for £5.99. This is a beautiful bronzer with a lighter strip at the top which makes for a gorgeous subtle highlighter. It is highly pigmented so go in with a light hand. It is cool toned so don't apply to much as it can look a little muddy. Apply the perfect amount and it looks gorgeous, especially going into your highlight, it blends easily and when set gives a gorgeous summery look. 5. Palmers Shea Formula Hand Cream. This product is available at different stores. I purchased this from Superdrug for just £2.49 which is an absolutely bargain! This hand cream makes my hands even softer than normal. I love the smell of the cream, it hydrates my hands and keeps my hands from going dry, without making them greasy. I love putting this on before bed, coating my hands in a good layer for it to soak in and then the next day my hands feel great! 6. GlamGlow's Supermud Clearing Treatment. This is hands down my favourite mask & Glamglow is definitely become one of my favourite brands over the past year. This mask makes my skin look almost perfect. It get rid of all the oil and sebum on the face, it minimises my pores ( not that they are noticeable anyway ). It breaks down any bacteria on the skin. You can see the mask going to work as it dries it shows you the charcoal pulling the oil out. It smells amazing, a mixture between eucalyptus and peppermint. Click Here For My Full Review. 7. GlamGlow's Glowsetter Make Up Setting Spray. Next we have another product from GlamGlow. I have had this product for a little while but in August I really put it to work. This sets my make up amazingly, it helps to blend all products to look perfect on the skin. It smells gorgeous, and it refreshes you as it feels cooling.. It is great to have in your handbag as it freshens your face and helps refresh the make up too. Click Here For My Full Review. 8. L'Oréal Elvive Clay Mask. Although I picked ths up by accident, I did decide to give it a go. I don't really suffer with oily roots, but I thought I would test it out, so after surgery I couldn't get wet for a little while so I plaited my hair and left it for a few days. I used this before shampoo as instructed, you simply apply to your roots, leave it for a while and then rinse off before applying your shampoo. After my shower and my hair dried it looked so shiny, felt very soft and in the following days it felt like it stayed cleaner for longer which I absolutely love! I hate washing my hair to often as I like to try and look after it. Il definitely be repurchasing this whenever I need my hair to go that little bit longer between washes! 9. Skinfood Coconut Sheet Mask. I have been loving this brand for a few years now after finding it on a make up artists Instagram account and just having to try it! I have been a major fan every since. This mask was so relaxing, easy to apply like most sheet masks, just fit it to the face, sit back and relax. I love the smell of coconut, it wasn't to strong that it was over powering just a gentle scent. The mask left my face hydrated, soft and I had a radiant glow. 10. Oh K Sleep Mask. So this is the second time I have featured this mask in my favourites and for a good reason - it is amazing!! I use this 2-3 times a week, I apply it before bed, when I feel like my skin needs a little extra hydration. It works it's magic overnight to give your face intense moisture. My skin always looks clear, hydrated and fresh. It gives it a healthy glow and my make up applies like a dream after using this mask the night before. Click Here For My Full Review On Sleep Masks! Fails 1. Zoeva Rose Gold Palette. I purchased this palette a little while ago now and I have been trying and trying to love it but I just cant! It is awful. The highlight is just a white powder that looks ridiculous on my medium skin tone, the other 2 shades just don't turn up, there is hardly any pigmentation, they don't blend well and I just have given up trying to use it! So that concludes my August Favourites & Fails! Let me know what products you have been loving and maybe I'll check it out! Until Next Time,
