August Favourites 2012

Goodness me, I can't believe August is over already. Seriously, can someone please tell me where that month went.. I go back to school on the 5th September so wish me luck guys!!


Overview:


iPad
So, yes, I got an iPad. I actually only got it on 29th August so I've only had it a few days. But yes, I consider it a favourite :)
I got the white 'New iPad' (or iPad 3). 

Michael Kors Crossbody Bag
I have literally only been using this bag this month. I also have this bag in pink but my black one has been used much more this month. This is quite a small bag but I find that it holds all my absolute essentials and then I'm good to go. Also, since I have been using this over a bigger bag, my back and shoulder have not been aching. Bonus! If you'd like to see a 'What's In My Bag' with this bag then leave a comment below :)

Kleenex Blotting Paper
I am in love with these things. There will be a full review coming very soon so I won't give much away. Basically, they are a necessity for people with oily skin, like me! I picked up 2 more packs of these in my recent haul post.

Miss Dior Cherie L'eau
This has been my most worn perfume of the month. I usually don't like citrusy scents but this one is simply amazing. I am so upset that they discontinued this fragrance. I will have to try the original Miss Dior Cherie when this one runs out! Also, how adorable is the bottle, it is by far my favourite out of the perfumes I own.

Maybelline 'One by One' Mascara
At first, I wasn't too keen on this mascara, I thought it was really drying out my lashes which meant it was a pain to remove. However, after giving this another go, and using my MAC Cleanse Off Oil (which is an awesome makeup remover) I had no problem with it. It separates my lashes so well and it honestly makes them look the longest they have ever looked!

The brush allows you to coat every single lash in mascara. It is a really good drugstore mascara!

Sigma F80 Brush & Real Techniques Powder Brush
I use the Sigma F80 brush to apply my foundation. I don't know why, but I really don't like applying foundation with my fingers. This brush is very densely packed and it buffs foundation in like a dream. I could not be without this brush. 

The real techniques powder brush has replaced my love for the Sigma (F20) Large Powder Brush. I do still use my sigma powder brush but I find that the real techniques brush just does a slightly better job. I still love Sigma brushes don't get me wrong.. I was thinking of doing a Makeup Brush Collection post if you guys would be interested??

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
I don't really know what to say about this powder. It is awesome. That's all. :)

La Roche-Posay 'Effaclar Duo'
Another favourite of the month would have to be Effaclar Duo. Since I started using it I have noticed a big difference in the overall texture of my skin. I also think my acne scarring has faded slightly since using this. I like it so much that I picked up two other products from the Effaclar line which you can see in my recent haul. 

Favourite song of the month:
Taylor Swift - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
View on iTunes - here

Favourite TV Show of the month:

Pretty Little Liars. I am in love with this show!


Hope you enjoyed seeing all my favourites of the month of August!

Thanks for reading.

Going for Gold - Olympic Special

I thought it would be fun to do a series of posts inspired by the London 2012 Olympics and the medals they are handing out (gold, silver and bronze). So, first off, lets start with some awesome gold beauty and fashion items!

Beauty:


Barry M 'Gold Foil Nail Effects' - Available from Superdrug for £3.99.
I have this polish in silver and it is opaque in just one coat. I think this would be the perfect gold polish to be sporting during the olympics.

Nails Inc 'The Medal Collection' - Available from ASOS for £15.50
Well, you can't get more perfect than this can you! This is also pretty good value as you get 3 full size Nails Inc polishes for £15.50 (£5.16 each). As you can tell by the name, this set was created in honour of the Olympics so it could be a souvenir or keepsake right?!?!


Urban Decay 'Half Baked' - Available from Beauty Bay for £14.00 
This eyeshadow is the perfect gold to sweep across your lids. It is perfect for Summer and for supporting whichever team you're routing for (Team GB!!) I have this in my Urban Decay 'Naked Palette' which I am reviewing and swatching in tomorrow's post!


MAC's 'Supernova Blush' - Available from MAC for £19.00 (limited edition)
I know it's not entirely gold but this blush has beautiful swirls of gold running through the hot pink. This looks absolutely amazing but I don't know if I can justify spending that much when I have too much makeup already... If you are thinking of picking this up, it is limited edition so better hurry!


Fashion & Accessories:

TFNC Sequin Prom Dress - Available from ASOS for £45.50 (on sale from £65)
This dress is so pretty. I'm not sure I could pull it off but it would look amazing on the right person! If I was to wear this, I would pair it with all black accessories.


Micheal Kors Gold Chronograph Watch - Available from ASOS for £199
If you fancy splurging on a gorgeous, classic watch then this MK watch is perfect. Personally, if I were to spend this much on a watch it would be the Rose Gold MK Watch because it is so pretty!!


River Island Gold Glitter Platform Heels - Available from ASOS for £31.50
These gold heels would look amazing with a little black dress! They would add just the right amount of glitz and glamour to an outfit. They only have a limited number of sizes left so get in there quick!

Hope you liked my take on GOLD coloured pretty things!! Stay tuned for silver - that will be up soon - after my Naked Palette Review & Swatches!

Thanks for reading. xoxo
