August Favourites

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well!

Today I am sharing my August Favourites with you.
 

MUA Glamour Days Palette £4.00
This palette is gorgeous! I love how pigmented the colours are and they last me all day without creasing. The colours are gorgeous shades of both matte and shimmers, I have really been enjoying them this summer!

Ben Nye Banana Powder $7.99 (£5.00)
I have been LOVING this powder, I have done a full review on this which you can read it here. I love how flawless it makes my skin look and how it controls my shiny face all day!

MAC Sculpt and Shape - Accentuat/Sculpt
I don't know a price for this as I believe it has been continued but I got this from The Sunday Girl's blog sale a few months ago and have really been loving it! I use it to contour my cheeks and my nose etc I use the lighter shade to highlight my cheekbones and brow bone.

Sleek Blush - Flamingo £4.29
This is such a gorgeous pink colour, it is very pigmented and gives a gorgeous pop of colour on you cheeks. You can layer this blush up or down to intensify the colour or to give a more natural subtle hint of pink.

Xen Tan Deep Bronze Luxe - Dark 236ml £28.99 approx*
I have only used this a couple of times but think the quality of this product is amazing! The colour goes on evenly and it smells like vanilla which I think is gorgeous and makes a change from the typical biscuity smell of other self tanners. I will be doing a full product review on this soon so I won't blab on too much about how I love it here!

Sinful Colors - Tapping Nails 15ml £2.99
This is such a gorgeous summery orange colour it looks lovely against my skin tone and I like that it has tiny gold flecks in it, it really adds depth to your nails!

Eylure False Lashes £5.35
This brand of false eyelashes are my favourite! They have such a variety of different lashes from natural look to dramatic evening lashes! I use these lashes over and over to, they last quite a while before you have to buy new ones. I always keep a few boxes handy though just in case!

Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment 200ml £7.99
I have been using this hair treatment twice and week and I have to say it is doing wonders for my hair! It makes it feel silky soft and smooth! I will be doing a full review on this as lots of you have asked for one so I will get that up asap!

PanOxyl 5% Cream £3.00 approx
As you probably know by now I suffer from terrible skin! I bought this cream around March time but stopped using it after a few weeks because I got impatient waiting for it to work! I have recently started using it again over the past few months and have seen such a huge improvement in my skin!

Thanks for reading!

Magazine Freebies- August 2012

Hello everyone! 

Today I decided to do a post on magazine freebies for August 2012.
I enjoy reading these types of posts so I thought I would do one myself this month!

Here are some magazines I picked up:


Marie Claire are offering their readers a full size Avon mascara worth £10, there is a choice of lengthening, volumising or curling! I have wanted to try an Avon mascara for a while and thought I would try out the lengthening mascara as I have many volumising ones and would like to add more length to my lashes!
I'm very excited to try it out!
Marie Claire costs £3.70 which is an absolute bargain for what you are getting!


Elle are offering a sample of St Tropez gradual tanner available in two shades; light/medium or medium/dark.
I picked up the medium/dark one and I am so excited to try it! I haven't tried any of the St Tropez tanning range before.


Cosmopolitan are offering a misguided nail polish, you have a choice of three colours; yellow, orange or pink. I chose yellow as I don't own any yellow nail polishes and this is such a lovely colour for summer!
Cosmo costs £3.50 and these polishes retail at £5 so again you are getting a great bargain!


InStyle have some fabulous freebies featured inside! They're offering a free Georgio Armani mascara worth £7, a Shisiedo gentle cleansing foam also worth £7, plus 20% off Elemis products at timetospa.co.uk AND 10% off a benefitcosmetics.co.uk!
