August favourites

With the start of a new week it also brings a new month so it's time for a favourites post.

1. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - Before I discovered this amazing product I used cleanser every night with face wipes for those lazy nights when I was to lazy to deal with the whole skincare routine. When I seen this product I couldn't wait to try it. I had always wanted to try the Bioderma version of this after watching numerous videos on YouTube so when I seen this in the shop I had to get it. This product is amazing, I don't know what I'd do without it. I use a cotton pad and put the product on, a little goes a long way. It takes any make-up off so easily without having to scrub your skin which is good for sensitive skin. Some products would dry my skin out slightly especially round my nose whereas this doesn't, in fact since I've started using this I haven't had any dry, flaky skin round my nose. I have definitely been converted and will be buying this again when I finish the bottle.

2. Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Make-up Remover - After trying the Micellar Water and loving it I decided to give the eye make-up remover a try and I'm glad I did. Before using you shake the bottle to mix the 2 phases together then apply a little on a cotton pad. You then hold it against your eye for a few seconds to let the make-up dissolve then gently swipe away. This product is amazing, no more rubbing your eyes to try and get your eye make-up off which then irritates your eyes. I will also be buying this again when I run out.

3. L'Oreal Nude Magique foundation - Although I always use Mac Studio Fix for going out I like to have a cheaper one for day to day wear. I'm really not loyal to any foundation, every time I need a new foundation I like to try a different one. I'd watched so many YouTube videos and read a lot of good reviews on this, so decided to try this out for myself. It was buy one get one half price when I bought this so I decided to get two different colours; one for when I had fake tan on and one for near the end of the week when my tan was wearing off. Before using it you have to give the bottle a shake and it says to apply it with your fingers. Its more of a liquid foundation than a creamy product. You can build it up by applying a few layers, and as it's a liquid it's so easily blended. It really feels like you have no foundation at all and looks so natural, when I first started using it a few people said to me that my make-up was really nice, which is always a good compliment to hear.  As I'm nearing the end of the bottle I've already purchased these again because they were on special offer.

4. Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter - I've been a Soap & Glory fan for years and have more or less tried every one of their products but this is the one I always repurchase. Whenever I have this on everyone always say I smell nice and that's before I've put any perfume on. This body butter is so creamy and a little goes a long way. It's really moisturising without being too greasy on the skin which is one of the reasons I love it as there is nothing worse than having to wait ages for your moisturiser to dry in before putting on clothes. You can also buy this in a pump bottle but I always get the tub as it is handier if you are travelling as this can go in your suitcase without having to worry about it going everywhere. 

5. Crown Brush Concealer Palette - This is definitely one of my best buys over the past month. I have used it now a few times since getting it and it makes my make-up look so much better when its finished. For a full review on it you can read my blog post on it here. 

So that's it for my August favourites. I look forward to hearing your favourites over the past month and can't wait to try a few new things in September to see if they make it into next months favourites.
