NARS 'Douceur'

Rimmel London Kate Lippie (01)

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream 'Monte Carlo'

In true autumn inspired spirit, I hope to pop in a pumpkin pie soon and pop on some of these deeper, darker reds. This is genuinely a guide for the scarlet lovers amongst us, but these each are wearable one way or another. The nail varnishes are some of the best formulas I have tried and have stellar wear time. MAC's Lovecrush blusher is beautiful on fair skin, such as mine, and brings the most natural flush of colour to your cheeks. NARS Douceur is my go to contour shade (although I'm debating buying a few new ones) and has treated me wonderfully for the last several months I've worn it. It is quite sheer, so it may work best with pale skin. I love the Kate lipstick. It has such great wear time for a drugstore lippie. I wore it in this look and did a review on it here if you want to read more about it. My newest purchase was Nyx's Monte Carlo but I can already tell that it will be one of my favourites into spring. Easy to apply, not too expensive and again, really excellent wear time.

I will be (excitedly) driving down the coast to Portland today and then back up tomorrow to see Ed Sheeran, twice. You heard that right. I'm seeing him twice in one weekend. And the thing is... I've already seen him live once before. Eddiction? (Geez, someone take the Internet away from me...) Hope you all have a stellar weekend, will chat soon!

September Favourites

Products:

L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream (812 Light)

Maybelline SuperStay Concealer (Ivory)

Maybelline Colour Tattoo (Bad to the Bronze)

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream (Monte Carlo)

Botanics Conditioning Clay Mask

NARS Blusher (Desire and Douceur)

My favourites for this month are a bit scattered but I've decided to just go for it and talk a bit about my go to products (some new, some old) for September. One of several new purchases this month, I've recently discovered the L'Oreal BB Cream. This is only the second BB Cream I've tried, so don't hurt me. I think that it works really well, and would work even more for someone with combination skin. It gives much more coverage than the Maybelline BB Cream. It's also just a bit too light for me right now, but come winter and the dark sky, it'll work really well with my complexion. I have honest to god fallen in love with the Maybelline Councealer. It works so so SO well on my skin. It lasts ALL day and blends very easily. I have worn the Bronze Colour Tattoo every day for the last two weeks, at least, and I'm not sick of it in the least. It applies so easily, can be built up for a more dramatic look, or sheered out for everyday wear. Monte Carlo is such a beautiful deep red, and applies very easily for someone who is not the best with lipstick. I really have loved using the Botanics Clay Mask. I don't find it particularly conditioning, but more so detoxing. I would love to try any REN Hydrating mask, that would be my dream honestly... I've also fallen back into love with both Desire and Douceur. Desire is so nice for a pop of colour on your cheeks on a dull day and Douceur works amazingly as a contour colour for someone as pale as I am.

Non-Beauty related favourites? Grimmy's Radio 1 Breakfast Show... I can't rave enough about this. I listen to it nearly every night while doing homework and it keeps me awake and is just so good. I just love him as a radio host. I've also really been enjoying the X Factor recently! That's also really well done.

Nasty Habits by You Me At Six
