August Favourites

I can’t believe that I am writing my August favourites, I know that I’ve probably said this before but this year really is flying by. I’m quite excited for September because it means that the weather will be getting colder and I can start wearing all my Autumn/Winter clothes- there’s nothing I love more than putting on a big jumper and snuggling up on the sofa all warm, knowing that it’s really cold outside. September also means that I am starting sixth form, so I’m not sure what this means in terms of blogging. I fully intend to keep on writing posts, but I just don’t know how often I will be able to, as I am expecting that a ton of homework and revision will be coming my way very soon!

Anyway, enough rambling. I don’t have many things to talk about because I haven’t really changed the products that I have been using. This month, I’ve been in more of a ‘rediscovery’ mood rather than a mood to be buying new products. The first product that I have rediscovered is my Paul Smith perfume. I got it for my birthday a couple of months ago and I wore it all the time when I first got it, but then for some reason I just stopped wearing it and went in a phase of not wearing perfume. During August however, it became my go-to scent and I will definitely be wearing it through into September as well.

Next are two nail varnishes, both from Topshop. The lilac one is ‘Parma Violet’ and the glittery one is ‘Razzmatazz.’ I’ve liked wearing them either with the lilac one as a base, and then using the glitter one as a top coat, or applying a clear base coat and then a couple of coats of ‘Razzmatazz’ to achieve a semi-sheer glitter nail.

Another beauty item that I have rediscovered is this lipstick from Natural Collection. I’m not really a big wearer of lipsticks. I do own a few but I just never really wear them that often, but I found this one amongst all the others and realised why I bought it. It is basically the same colour as my natural lip so you can’t really tell that I’m wearing it, but it adds a nice bit of definition to the lips, and looks great when topped with a lipgloss. It is in the colour ‘Rosebud.’

Finally is one item that I actually did buy during August. It’s a pair of earrings from Topshop. As you should know if you read my blog posts regularly, I LOVE crosses, so when I saw these earrings, I couldn’t resist. They’re great to wear either out to a party or just generally during the day- they match with any outfit and I will definitely be getting a lot more wear out of them throughout September, and most probably for the rest of the year too!
