My first favourite isn't actually makeup related and so I thought I'd start with that first, it's the new album from Charlie Simpson - Young Pilgrim and it's brilliant! every song is the work of a very talented man!! I love every song but my favs are Parachutes, Cemetery, Farmer & his gun and If I lose it. I was so excited when I heard he was doing a solo album and I new it was going to be something special.. and he didn't disappoint! I defiantly recommend you have a listen :)
So back to makeup! I'll start with foundation, one of my fav things to buy and probably why I have so many of them, but this months fav as been Cliniques Even Better Foundation with SPF 15 my shade is 03 ivory but I must say.. it is getting a little too dark now I'm losing my slight tan. The consistency seems pretty thick when its placed onto the skin, but once it's blended out it doesn't feel heavy or thick on the skin at all. It covers everything I want it too, and of course as the name suggests 'even better' it evens out the skin beautifully. I'd say its medium coverage but it's defiantly build able.
Sticking with face products, next up I have face powders, this three in one compact from Dior has been a great love of this month, and was even love at first sight :) this cute little compact is Dior's ' Natural glow sculpting powder makeup. Which also contains an SPF of 10 my shade is this is - 020 Beige Praline. I love this not only is the powder soft and silky on the skin it also evens out the skin and add's a slight glow to the skin which is lovely, the slightly pinkie shade is perfect as a blush or what it's meant for is 'sculpting the face' so you can use it as a contour too, which looks very natural and a lot less harsh on pale complexions such as mine :) and the third shimmery shade is a light highlight colour which also brings a lovely glow to the skin making it look polished and perfect without looking greasy.
Next up for the eyes I have two mascara's, ones Avon Super shock in waterproof and the other is cliniques bottom lash mascara both brilliant for different reasons, the Avon one is fantastic at lengthening and adding volume to my lashes, and the clinique bottom lash is lovely for the bottom lashes as the brush is so small it catches every single lash no matter how small. Both are in black.
My last fav has been the Korres lip butter in Quince as it adds some colour but keeps my lips soft and moisturised at the same time, I've used this everyday since I got it at the end of July and it's love. I'm also interested in some of the other shades as they feel so lovely on the lips.
