August Favourites 2013

Thursday, 29 August 2013

Yay my first favourites post. I love reading about peoples favourite products and watching favourite videos one YouTube. So here are my August favourites!


(excuse the dirty brushes but cleaning them is so annoying, I'm lazy!)

My first favourite is Mac Fix+


This has so many uses I think it is a must have for everyones makeup kit. The bottle says it is a 'skin refresher/finishing mist'. I love using this spray for both of these uses. Sometimes it's nice to use a little spray on your face before you put your makeup on to make your skin feel nice and fresh. What I really love using this for is after I have finished my makeup. I always use a powder to set my makeup and sometimes it is nice to spray a bit of Fix+ to give your face a more dewy finish. You can also use fix+ on your eyeshadow brush to make your eyeshadow colours more vibrant. So I have been loving using Fix+ this month. 

My next favourite is Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream shade Medium


I have only used one BB cream before and I hated it and was turned off BB creams all together because I thought none of them would give me the higher coverage I like on my skin. But I saw this new BB cream by Maybelline that has 2% salicylic acid plus it was half price at Priceline, so I thought I would give it ago. After the first use I fell in love! It had really nice medium coverage that I did not expect from a BB cream. It is for oily skin but I have more normal skin so I can't comment on its oil control. As for the 2% salicylic acid I am going to do a full review on this product maybe next week or the week after so I can see if it does help with my skin. But I have now converted to BB creams as a nice alternative to foundations!

Next favourite is NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Beige



I really wanted to try this lip gloss because it was one of Tanya Burr from YouTubes favourite glosses. I got this from Nordstrom, where there was a few NYX lip gloss' and one of the colours happened to be Beige, so had to get it. As you can probably tell it is not a beige. It is a dark pink colour that is almost like a your lips but better colour. It is really pigmented and a great colour that can go with many makeup looks. I have been using this a lot this month and I love it. It has a nice cherry flavour too.

Next is Revlon Super LustrousLipstick in shade 668 Primrose.




This lipstick colour is a similar shade to the NYX gloss. It is a dark pink but it is brighter than the gloss. It has a little bit of a shimmer but not to intense. It is quite creamy when you put it on but it can become quite drying as the day goes on. But I have just been loving it. It is quite different to any lipstick I own and it is a great everyday colour if you want to wear a nice colour on your lips that isn't too bright for winter.

My last favourites are The Real Techniques Expert Face Brush and Blush Brush


I have been using these brushes every time I apply foundation and blush this month. My very first post is a review on these brushes. They are amazing, go check it out.

I hope you enjoyed my favourites and thanks for reading.
