This month I've been loving everything from Candles to shower gel and even some old products I forgot I had.First up is the Cucumber & Melon Shower gel from Bath & Body Works. I picked this up when I was in Toronto and when I go back to New York in a couple months there will definitely be some damage done in there. I freaking love everything I picked up but this is my most favorite. It smells fresh and cooling without 'lingering' in the bathroom too much. It's like a gel type formula and even though it's been used a lot, it still has 3/4 left.
I also picked up this mini candle from Bath & Body Works in the scent 'Sunny Coconut'. It smells pretty much like a zesty coconut if such a thing existed. I would say there are hints of grapefruit in there. What do I love most? the fact that it's in miniature size.
I picked up Mac Velvet Teddy Lipstick when I was in New York in December 2015 and I just really love it. It's the perfect brown nude for me, it has a great formula and just glides on the lips. I've worn this on it's own a lot but with a lip liner, it lasts all flipping day. Impressed!
Onto two 'rediscoveries'. I found the Kiko Milano All Stars Mascara in my 'use this before Christmas or throw it out' pile and forgot just how much I love it. The formula is thick without being gloopy and is blacker than black. The wand on this has a little spiky circle at the top which allows pefect bottom lash coatings.
The other rediscovery is L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Foundation and when I first used this, I was going on holiday so it was thrown to the side whilst I used all of the ones I bought in Sephora. I forgot all about it and I really have been enjoying using it. I use a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to apply and it just blends into the skin seamlessly. It really is super blendable and I reckon I'd repurchase this time and time again.
Onto a little travel size of the Too Faced Hangover FX primer. This was one of those little samples that the lovelies at Sephora threw into my bag as a freebie when I was in Toronto. TBH, I thought I'd get round to using it if I felt like it but wasn't all that bothered by it. I don't usually wear primer but one day I had run out of my moisturiser and thought I'd give this a try. I'm so glad I threw this on my face, it is incredible. It just smoothes over any pores and blemishes leaving a perfect base for applying my makeup. The full size is my next purchase!
Accessorize were having a little sale and I noticed these two nail polishes were down to £2. I picked them up not really having high hopes for them and now they have become my go-to shades. This has a thick consistency and I can easily get away with just one coat of them.
Finally is my favorite favourite of the month. The Just Be Botanicals Cleansing Balm is the best cleansing balm I have ever used. It's smooth and takes away every trace of makeup from my skin instantly. I don't think I can ever look at another cleanser the same way now. It has literally changed my skincare routine completely and is amazing.
So there's all my August Monthly Favourites! Have you tried any of these? what do you think I should be trying out?
