Favourites: September 2012

Hello lovelies!!

Hope you're all well.

I thought while I was on a roll getting my blog posts up to date I would do my September favourites. I've been loving lots of products this month, but here are my faves!

Phil Smith Be Gorgeous Daily Defence Blow Dry Cream


I've been using this loads this month, well every time I've washed my hair! I squirt a blob into the palm of my hand and then smooth it through damp, towel dried hair and the brush through then I just blow dry as usual. I do use a spray heat protector when I straighten, but that's just as extra insurance as I'm putting so much heat on my hair. I have to say, the condition of my hair has really improved and I have hardly any split ends. I'm so pleased with this product. I'm not keen on the smell, I find it a little masculine but other than that I absolutely love it. It doesn't weigh my hair down either which is a big thing as I hate that feeling in your hair when you've got too much product in. Phil Smith products are available at Sainsbury's.

Superdrug Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream


This moisturiser is divine! It's really thick and luxurious feeling and it smells like shea butter! My skin is much less dry since I've been using this and I have the day and night creams so they are a big part of my skin care routine. This is such an amazing line in general and so reasonably priced, definitely worth checking out next time you're in Superdrug.

Rimmel 25hr Lasting Finish Foundation


As you can see from the manky state of the bottle, I have been using this a lot this month! In fact, there's only a tiny bit left and will probably be in my October Empties. This foundation gives a pretty full coverage and leaves you with a dewy glow and it just lasts and lasts and lasts!! I have fallen asleep in this before and still had it in tact the next morning (not perfectly in tact but definitely still on!). The only thing I don't like about this foundation is that it leaves my skin feeling tacky, I like to feel like I'm not wearing anything on my face so if I can still feel it hours later it really puts me off. However, I have stuck by this foundation as it is so amazing in every other way! I probably won't repurchase this for a while once it's gone, just because I have so many others to use, but I will be repurchasing at some point in the future. Also, I love that this foundation comes in quite a large range of colours as well, I hate it when there's about six colours to choose from and you end up looking like a ghost or slightly too orange!!

Charles Worthington Glossing Spray


Just jumping back to hair care just for a second, I wanted to mention this glossing spray. My hair is a dark red colour at the moment and when I use a light spritz of this product when my hair is straightened it shines like nothing else. I have honestly never known my hair to be as shiny as this makes it, it's gorgeous. I think I got this from Boots and I urge you to give it a go, you won't regret it!

M&S Limited Collection Blusher


I had heard great things from the M&S make-up line so thought I'd try one of the products out. This is a gorgeoys rosy pinky colour and is very pigmented. It goes on really nicely with a blusher brush and lasts all day. It has a slight shimmer to it but nothing too 'jazz hands' - a really really nice blusher.

MUA Every Lash Mascara


The hype surrounding this mascara in the online beauty community has been unbelieveable and, as I'm a sucker for a bit of hype, I had to give this a go. It reminds me a lot of the Collection 2000 Skyscraper Mascara with the flexible wand and it is a really nice mascara, nicely lengthens and volumises my lashes. Smells of apple as well which is a random bonus! Honestly, for four quid you can't go wrong with this!!

Mac Moisture Cover Concealer


Aaaah my trusty old Moisture Cover concealer, how I love it! Hides my (substantial) eye bags and has a dewy finish which fits in nicely with my favourite Bourjois and Rimmel foundations that I am favouring at the moment. I can't find anything wrong with this concealer, I absolutely love it and am getting a little scared that it may be about to run out so am going to get a back-up just in case!

17 Lasting Finish Nail Varnishes



These are brand new to Boots and they are amazing! The one on the left is called Potion and is a greeny, goldy metallic colour and the one on the right is called Copper and is a metallic copper colour. Both absolutely stunning colours and perfect for the Autumn season. I wish my camera would do them justice as tghey are absolutely beautiful - worth checking out when you're next in Boots!
So there you have it, all my favourite products of September.

What are your current beauty favourites?

Lotsa love
