August Beauty Favourites

My August beauty favourites are a tiny bit later than I like my favourites to be, but here they are!

This month I was back at uni and keeping things simple. My favourites are basically the best bits of my daily face and the new beauty bits that have made the cut for my uni makeup. When it comes to in-a-hurry makeup this months favourites make me look and feel put together with minimal effort.

For my birthday in July I got the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers and I am firmly on the bandwagon now! These curlers deserve the hype they get and I love the way my eyes look more awake after I use them. If I ever forget to curl my lashes now I am disappointed by how my mascara looks!

Speaking of mascara, this year I found my Holy Grail, the Covergirl Clump Crusher. I am obsessed with this mascara, it lengthens and volumizes my lashes for everyday without having to spend 20 minutes getting rid of clumps and separating stuck together lashes! I haven’t found another mascara that is as fuss free and gives the same results. But as always I have a bunch I haven’t even tried yet so you never know.

I’ve spoke of my long term relationship with Rimmel Stay Matte Powder before and nothing has changed. I use this everyday, for a full face of makeup or just to set my undereye concealer (my concealer of choice is currently the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer but I’ve hit serious pan so I’m in the market for a new one. Any suggestions??). This powder is amazing; I will always have one in my collection.

I’ve rediscovered my Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss in Orchid to spice up my everyday face a bit. I am becoming a bit of a gloss convert and I like this one because its not too sticky and isn’t a magnet for my hair like some glosses I’ve tried in the past. Although it looks a bit lilac-y in the tube it comes out almost transparent on the lips with a pretty touch of shimmer. Beautiful by itself or over a lipstick or stain.

Finally, my new eyeshadow obsession, the Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Barely Branded. As a longtime lover of the Color Tattoos (what up Bad to the Bronze) I was excited to pickup some colours from the new metal collection. This is the perfect champagne shade to brighten the eye area, I use it in the inner corner, as a base or all over the lid. If you don’t have this you need it in your collection!
