Hello again lovelies! Today I am bringing you my first favourites post! As you probably well know by now, Autumn is my favourite time of year and I have been loving so much through September to get in the Autumnal spirit, I thought I would share it all with you!
My first favourite was a really obvious choice, I have been wearing it as much as possible through September and that is my Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro 2 Pallet. I did a review of this actually when I first brought it and you can read that here. I just have been loving this. The shades match really well for this time of the year and also they are really easy to blend with each other. I have been creating a few different looks and trying out different shades. The colours are really pigmented which is fab and they apply really easily. It's one of those products that I can't wait to get out and use in the mornings so for that, it definitely had to go in my faveys!
Next is my Collection Eye Liner. I cannot stress how much I love this eye liner!! I have been using it for so many years now and it has never let me down. Winged eye liner is my favourite part of my make up so a reliable liquid pot is essential for me. I try different liquid eyeliners and hope that they will be just as good but this is the one that I always go back to. It is SO easy to apply which I love as the struggles of getting the perfect flick are painful at times so having something that applies quickly and easily is great. The lasting power of this is also really great, I wear it for nights out regularly and it has never failed to last the whole night. I just have no bad words, if you love this as much as I do please let me know as I would love to find a fellow worshiper of this product. If you have never tried it - DO! You will not regret it. Ooo another point - It's really black! I know that sounds random, but some others I have tried are sometimes a little grey in colour and require a couple of coats to get them looking really black. This is black as soon as it is applied and it stays that black for the duration of the wear. Ok, enough raving about that one, onto the next!
So this one is slightly random but I thought I would add it in because I like a bit of random in my life. I have been loving Quaker Oats, Oats So Simple Porridge sachets. They are so good for the colder mornings which we are now getting here in the UK and they just make my mornings a little bit happier. I have been loving the golden syrup flavour ones especially. They taste incredible as they are sweeter than the plain porridge but the syrup flavour is not overbearing, it's just enough syrup! Also they smell INCREDIBLE! When it first comes out of the microwave in its steaming bowl, the sweet smell that fills the room is just the best - another way to add a bit of extra niceness to the dull cold mornings. These have just been making my getting ready for work mornings that little bit warmer and brighter and I just wanted to share with you how lovely they are. I have personally been using the sachets where you just add milk and pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes but you can also get them in little pots which effectively do just the same thing, they are just a bit easier if you are on the go!
And last but not least, my final favourite comes in the form of shoes! I got these at the beginning of September as I was after some plain black chelsea boots to see me through the Autumnal months but didn't want to spend too much money. I'd actually forgotten that I'd signed up to Just Fab a while back so after rediscovering their website, I found I had received a store credit! Therefore I decided to treat myself to this lovely pair. They came really quickly through the post and fit like a glove! They are really comfy as well which is a bonus! I have been wearing them so much this month so they had to be included in here somewhere. I love the chunky sole to them and the simple matte black finish. So perfect for the Autumn months and they just go with everything I wear. I'm sure they will be featuring in many more posts to come!
And that concludes my monthly favourites. I am already loving many more different things through October so I am really looking forward to my next post. I hope you have enjoyed reading! Until next time my lovelies,
Welcome to my first favourites post!
How is everyone finding the heat? I hope there's not too much complaining as you always long for it when it's not here - enjoy it!
Anyway - I read so many monthly favourites and I always love them so, time to do one of my own. Here go's.
1. H&M slip-on sandals £14.99.
I love, love these shoes so much. Having originally brought them for my hols, they have actually seen a lot of wear these past couple of days with the weather reaching highs of 31 degrees here in Manchester! They are really comfy and so easy to wear just throwing them onto my feet before I rush out of the house. The buckle detail is something I particularly like as it makes the shoe a bit more interesting and also the little quirky detailing of the sole. I actually don't know what I used to wear on my feet in the summer before I had these, so easy to wear, comfortable and the perfect summer must have!
2. Black & Gold Earing Studs - Primark £2.50 I brought them on a pack of studs.
I have been obsessing over these this month, they are paired with pretty much every outfit. I love the vintage look to them which is the perfect accessory if you're wanting to add a touch of vintage to any outfit. They have a lovely spherical shape to them, not easy to notice on the photo - giving a unique 3D effect to the stud. They are just big enough on my ear that they make a statement yet don't look to big to fit my lobe. I also do tend to wear quite a lot of gold look jewelry so they match really well with other accessories that I own.
3. Sweet Retreat nail varnish - Rita Ora for Rimmel London
I paint my nails weekly so I'm a bit of a nail varnish hoarder, my collection is ever growing as I get bored quite easily of colours and I just love buying new ones to try. June was the month I treated myself to this lovely paint and I'm in love with it. It's so summery and sweet - as the name suggests - not too 'in your face pink' and it doesn't look sickly either. It matches really well to my skin tone as well which I like as sometimes paler colour's can my me look quite pasty. It has also lasted pretty well on the chip side and it goes on quickly only needing a couple of coats. Sometimes cheaper nail paints take 3 or even 4 coats to actually make it look like I'm wearing varnish, however I found with this one that, that wasn't the case. It dried within a couple of minutes and has lasted really well - very impressed! I would definitely recommend purchasing a one of these from the Rita Ora collection - all the colours are adorable and so summery!
Well that's it, the end of my first favorites post! I really enjoyed doing this post and I would love to know what you are all enjoying over the last month as well, leave me some links to have a read.
Thanks for staying,
