August Favourites

September 04, 2012


You may remember seeing this in a "Week in Instagram" post a while back. I bought it in the duty free shop when there was a staff sale, so I got this for a massively reduced price! Putting this on reminds me of good times and of being on holiday, and it always goes out and about with me via my Travalo.

BLINK + GO Eyeshadow & Blush Palette
This one is a little white lie actually... it's not the whole palette that I'm a fan of! In truth it is the top blusher in the photo above - it's a gorgeous dusky pink colour that works really well with my skin tone, blends easily and can be easily layered.

This was a free gift in a magazine not so long ago, was it Marie Claire? I forget but I really wanted this... at the time I had yet to find a lilac for my collection. This is so easy to apply, is opaque in two coats, dries quickly and is appropriate for work - what more could I want?

Another freebie, I remember clearly that this was with Glamour as everyone went mad for the Benefit freebies! I wasn't expecting much but I was really impressed with this mascara. It really plumps and lengthens my lashes, and is easy to work with - even with the large brush.

I had been meaning to get a new pair of tweezers for ages, so I was beyond thrilled to see these in my goody bag from the Leeds Blogger Meet Up! This was part of a brow set (I will be reviewing it in full in the future) but I can't get over how good these tweezers are!

  2. Ciate's Purple Sherbet looks adorable! I once bought something like the perfume you have, it had the same name and it was from Narciso Rodriguez but I remember the bottle being silver and heavy. Is your one the same on the inside?
