Hello everyone!
In today's post, I'll be doing my first monthly favourites!! I can't believe August is about to end, and so is Winter already! It's been a month with a lot of interesting new discoveries, and also some "re-discoveries", you know, the kinda product that for some reason you stopped using some time ago (probably because you had to try something new) and now you end up going back to it and remember how much you used to love it. So let's just get into it!
| CONCEALER | Anastasia Beverly Hills Concealer
I have definitely talked about this concealer before (in my makeup essentials post, which you can read here), and I just can't stop loving it. It is so creamy, so smooth, has such a nice coverage, not cakey, not drying, doesn't crease... I don't know why not everyone is obsessed with it at the moment! Lol, well I guess there are SO many different products out there, and we are all different, so what works for me might not work for you. But seriously, this stuff is one of the best high-end concealers I've ever tried.
It is $39 and you can get it here
| LIQUID HIGHLIGHTER | Rimmel Good To Glow Highlighter
Certainly mentioned this one before too, but ever since I got it, I cannot stop using it. It's become one of my essentials every time I put makeup on, no matter how natural or bold it is. And that's exactly one of the things I love about it: it's versatile and it adapts to any look. You can build it up or go for a more natural finish. You could probably even mix it with your foundation to get that sun-kissed kinda glow (which I haven't really tried yet). It is super affordable and you really do need the tiniest amount, so it'll last forever!
It retails for $12.95 and you can find it here
| FACE PALETTE | Rimmel by Kate Sculpting Palette
I'd had my eye on this for a while, and I'm SO glad I finally got it. I was a bit scared at first, because I swatched it on my hand when I got home and it didn't really have much pigmentation, but then when I actually tried it on my face, it was just perfect. The bronzer (which is usually the trickiest part, especially if you're super fair-skinned) is an awesome colour, cuz it enhances you bone structure, without leaving an actual brown line that makes it extra obvious. It just gives the perfect amount of definition. The blush is a beautiful soft pink and the highlighter is very natural, but you can surely build it up or use a bit of Fix + on your brush if you're not happy with the first swipe.
It is $16.95 and available here
| FOUNDATION | NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
I'm so into glowy foundations at the moment, and this one I've owned for a while. I love it, but unfortunately the shade I have is a tiny TINY bit dark for me, so I tend to use it a lot more in summer. I really like its finish and coverage though, it's a very nice foundation that is worth the price, plus I've found that I don't really need a lot of it to even out my skin tone and give a healthy effect.
It's $68 and you can find it here.
| EYEBROW GEL | NYX Control Freak Eyebrow Gel
I'm so happy with this. It is literally perfect if you are a control freak (which I AM about my eyebrows, and well, maybe another few things) because when it sets, it keeps every hair in place and they stay RIGHT THERE where you left them, all day. I had been using one by Maybelline before this one, and it never really convinced me, because a couple of hours later it was like I hadn't put anything on my brows, because the hairs were doing whatever the hell they wanted. Well, that is NOT the case with this one by NYX, which makes me really happy and satisfied, so great job, NYX!!
It retails for $9.95, and it's available here
| CONCEALER | Maybelline Fit Me Concealer
I'm so impressed with the quality of this concealer. To be honest, I think the quality is just like any other high-end concealer. It covers REALLY well, it brightens, it's weightless and doesn't crease. Like, seriously, you're getting an AMAZING quality concealer for $15! It is especially good for under your eyes, because like I mentioned before, it's quite brightening, but it can also work really well for imperfections if the shade matches your foundation nicely.
