Hello beauties! Firstly, I would just like to apologize for my lack of posts recently, the only excuse that I have is that I was incredibly lazy. Secondly, I'd like to apologize that this post is going to be short, vague and lacking in pictures on account of the fact that I simply don't have time to take pictures right now but I wanted to get a post up. So, with that out of the way I'll commence with my September Favourites!
Mac Pro Longwear Concealer - £15.50 available here
So, firstly a product I have been wanting to try for such a long time. I primarily bought this after hearing about Jaclyn Hill talk about it so much. To be honest, I wasn't that impressed with it as an under eye concealer because I found it STILL SETTLES INTO MY FINE LINES. However, as I've never found a concealer which doesn't settle, I'm prepared to overlook that because it covers dark circles and blemishes well and it is a fabulous eye primer. I have quite oily eyelids so when I found this working great for me as a primer I was actually quite surprised.
Clarins Everlasting Foundation - £26 available here
I know, I know, I talk about this foundation A LOT. But after being without it for a while and having to live with Colorstay, I realised how much I loved this foundation. It has such beautiful coverage and a lovely natural matte finish which still allows some of your natural glow to come through. It lasts wonderfully all day (and foundation just does not last on my skin for some reason) and it smells heavenly. All in all, I literally don't have a bad word to say about this foundation.
E.L.F Studio Matte Lip Pencil - £3.75 available here
I have liked these lip pencils for a while and have thought that they were one of the best examples of ELFs wonderful quality. My personal favourites are Praline and Nearly Nude because they're so easy to wear everyday. My only issue is that these don't last too long on the lips, but neither do a lot of lipsticks so you can't diss it for that.
Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer - £5.99 available here
I have a review on these lip lacquer's (link) so if you want to see a more indepth review, go over there but since then, I've bought more colours. For a lot of last month I was wearing the lip lacquer in Across the Universe (which I was already gunning for due to it being the name of one of my favourite Beatles songs). It's a beautiful deep red and it wears for a wonderfully long time.
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray - £19.50 available here
Again, this was another product I'd been meaning to try for a long time and seeing as it was my birthday, somebody got it for me as a gift. Now that I've tried it, I don't think I'll be able to live without it. It keeps your makeup looking freshly applied all day and gets rid of that initial OVERLY powdered look you can sometimes get.
Well that's it for my favourites this month. Again, apologizes for no photo's but light has started fading fast which means that taking photo's won't be as easy as it used to be. Hopefully, I'll be posting more frequently but no promises. I'm into my AS levels now which means I'm tired and stressed practically 24/7 (which is incredibly unhealthy and can lead to many illnesses according to psychology).
Anyhow, sorry for this rambly, crappy post. Have a fabulous day,
Nikki x
