AUGUST FAVOURITES

Ok so it's been a while since I've posted or written anything and it's about time I get my arse into gear and start posting regularly again! So I thought I'd start with a nice and easy monthly favourites and I'm pretty certain I worked through the whole of July so I'm assuming we're at the end of August now, and the thought of Christmas being only 4 months away is rather stressful and seriously where is this year going?! My first favourite this month are the beautiful Zoeva Rose Golden Complete Eye Set Vol.2 makeup brushes, they are just so pretty in all their rose gold goodness and look to perfect to use. But of course now I can't stop using them and now I definitely need every single Zoeva makeup brush, they're just such great quality brushes without the ridiculous price tag.
Another Zoeva product that I had to mention is the prettiest eyeshadow palette, it's the Zoeva Nude Spectrum palette that I picked up when I was in London. I didn't plan to buy this but when I saw it I couldn't leave it sitting there and looking all pretty and shiny and the fact that I have no will power when it comes to makeup did not help. I had looked at it online but I didn't think it looked that great but oh my god when I saw it in store I had to get it! It's such a beautiful palette and I love using warm shades like this and not to mention the fact that I'm in love with Zoeva's eyeshadow palettes. They're all so pretty and so pigmented, if you haven't already tried any of their eyeshadow palettes, I suggest you run and order every single one!
My next favourite is a lipstick combination, starting with the Sephora Cream Lip Stain in the shade Marvelous Mauve and then using Charlotte Tilbury Matte lipstick in the shade Very Victoria on top. This is quite a dark brown, mauve shade especially for this time of year, usually I'm obsessed with bright lip shades in summer but I've been wearing this combo all summer and think it's refreshing to see me in a darker, brown lip shade for once. Although this a great lip shade for Autumn and I'll still be wearing this combo going into the colder season which I've been looking forward to all summer. On the other hand I have been loving wearing bight nail polish again, bright, juicy colours that give the illusion that I look ever so slightly tanned. My favourite nail polish this month has been this lovely watermelon colour from Essie in the shade Chubby Cheeks.
So I was never a huge fan of fake eyelashes purely because they were a pain to get on and once they were on I always thought I looked ridiculous, but these Rosie Bea by Eylure eyelashes are so pretty I had to try them out not to mention the packaging alone forcing me to buy them. I had to mention these in my favourites because I'm obsessed with them and have stocked up on my favourites, which are Fling and Heyday. I love how fluttery these ones are and for once they don't make me look ridiculous which is always a good thing.
My last beauty favourite for August is yet again another bronzer that I couldn't help but buy, it's the YSL Sahariennes Bronzing Stones, in shade 1. This is my first YSL makeup product, and they do not disappoint! I was already in love with this because of the simple gold packing alone, but this is such a lovely warm bronzer and so natural. I like using this when I want more of a natural bronzed look and less of a heavy contour look. It's just so pretty, if anyone has any other YSL products they love and would recommend please comment down below.
