I have a bad habit of always buying new makeup products and then using them once and going back to my all time favourites. However September was a little different. Although I have a good few all time faves in this post, I have also discovered a fair few newbies that I am utterly obsessed with.
Check out what I've been loving in September.
One: Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream
As always I'm late on the bandwagon. I usually try to avoid impulse purchases and try to put a lot of thought into what I do purchase, I usually read a 100 reviews before I actually take the plunge and buy something new, no matter how small or big. However I have seen a tonne of bloggers, makeup junkies and friends raving about the lip creams and at last I tried one and I'm not going to lie, I'm kinda obsessed. I then went back to purchase more, I almost brought every colour before realising they had a massive colour range! I will defiantly be picking up more without a doubt.(shop here)
Two: Nars Orgasm Blush
Okay, so admittedly I've been loving this for the past few months and have been wearing it everyday since I brought it and yes I should be moving on to my more autumnal blushes, but I can't. This blush is just a dream. It is the perfect pink with a golden glow and I'm seriously obsessed. (shop here)
Three: Nars Creamy Concealer
Again I have been wearing this every day for the past few months and literally the day I first tested it, it completely replaced my old, all time fave Mac Pro Longwear. While I still love Pro Longwear for blemishes and stuff nothing quite beats Nars Creamy Concealer under the eyes. It is so brightening and I won't say it does'nt crease because I find all concealers crease on me because the shape of my eye, but it is the closest thing to not creasing as possible.(shop here)
Four: Mua Luxe Liquid Lacquers
I picked a few up towards the end of the month and have been loving them! They are only £3. The packaging is beautiful and looks high end and the actual product is great. The only problem with them is that towards the end of the day they can get a little bitty and uncomfortable on the lip, but I find that with most long lasting lip products anyway.(shop here)
Five: Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
I'm not going to lie, it wasn't love at first sight. In fact the first time I used it I really wasn't keen at all. However I believe in second chances, so thats exactly what I done. I gave the product a second go and as I had hoped I fell head over heels for the mascara! I've used it ever since and think I may need to purchase the full-size. I always test mascaras firstly without curling my lashes and then with and I think the only reason I didn't like it at first was because it doesn't add much curl to the lashes but my lashes never really hold a curl so I kind of expected that.(shop here)
Six: Clarisonic Mia 2
I have always loved my Clarisonic, but while I was pregnant I had a very love/hate relationship with it. It either helped with my blemishes or seriously dehydrated my skin. Now my hormones are slowly getting back to normal, I can defiantly say we have re-kindled our love affair. (shop here)
Seven: Olaplex Hair Treatment
This month was the first month I had the Olaplex treatment, I loved it so much I had it twice!
I know some people have said they don't notice an immediate difference, but I defiantly did. My hair felt silky smooth. I have done a full post about my hair colour and this treatment which you can find here if you would like to know more.(view website)
Eight: Morphe 35O M/S
Obviously these two palettes were going to be in my favourites! They are perfect for autumn and creating pretty much any smokey eye. I am yet to do a full review and swatches. I don't need to bang on about how amazing these palettes are because everyone else is and it is kind of annoying for anyone that can't get there hands on them.(shop here)
Nine: Nyx Brow Gel & Pomade
I have loved both these products since day one. I switch between them depending on my mood that day. I find with the brow gel you can create a really strong brow and with the pomade you can create a more natural brow (although you could create both with either one this is just my preference). If you love ABH brow pomade then I'd defiantly suggest trying the NYX brow pomade as I have seen a tonne of comparison posts and many people have suggested they are nearly identical.(shop tame& frame) (shop brow gel)
Ten: Mac Soft And Gentle
I am a massive fan of The balms maryloumanizer, but I figured it was time to test something new out.
I had read so many reviews about this and everyone who was pale recommended it! So I figured I would try it. When I first tried it I wasn't a fan. It is not as smooth as maryloumanizer and defiantly has bigger chunks of glitter. However once I figured out what brushes to use with it and how to apply it, I loved it. It is exactly as the name suggest "Soft And Gentle"(shop here)
Here are a few products I've been loving this month. What have you been loving?
I spot some of my personal favourites here, too I really need to try the better than sex mascara, everyone raves about it. I am also in the habit of buying stuff and hardly using them, have to change great list of favourites here Stacey 👌
ReplyDeleteSo many great products right? Defiantly recommend it! Hehe it's such a bad trait but I can't help it, 8 want to try everything! Xx
DeleteOoooo I love the NYX soft matte lip creams! I need to pick up some more shades soon, which one is your favourite? Also those eyeshadow palettes are just gorgeous, such amazing shades! XX
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with them now! I really don't know yet! I want all the nudes! They are perfect for Autumn xx
DeleteI've just thought that I really really like the Nyx soft matte lip cream (I have it one right now). I wasn't convinced at first but now I love it. I use a lip liner and then it applies even better and it feels so good on the lips. I totally recommend the shade "Stockholm" it's a pretty nude with a hint of orange. So very nice for Autumn.
ReplyDeleteDefiantly agree with the lip liner first! I'm now obsessed ! I have stockholm as well and it's a fave! Perfect autumn shade isn't it ! Xx
ReplyDeleteNYX lip creams are so amazing! Everytime I got into Boots I use it as an excuse to add to my collection - any excuse ha!
ReplyDeleteThose eyeshadow palettes are gorgeous, so many good colours for blue eyes. I definitely need to check them out.

I am now obsessed with them! I agree! Always making my blue eyes pop!
DeleteSuch a lovely selection of makeup here. Really want to try out the MUA Lip Lacquers and NARS Orgasm has been on my wish list forever but I've got Sleeks Blush in Rose Gold which is apparently a dupe!
ReplyDeleteGemma Louise
They are great value for money! And nars orgasm is my fave now! May have to see if it's a dupe though as nars is exspensive x
