August Monthly Favourites

I have always wanted to do a monthly favourites post but have always been too late in writing it. So this month I have started writing this post in advance so that I would not forget.

My first monthly favourite would be one of the Nars multiples in the colour Copacabana. This is a lovely shade for highlight, it works beautifully with my skin tone and it looks very nice with the recent summer makeup looks that I have been loving. I have had some of the multiples for quite a while now but have not really got into using them until this month. They blend really easily and have excellent colour pay off.
My next monthly favourite is the colour Half Baked in the Naked 1 Urban Decay Palette. I have been using it in day time looks as well as night time looks and absolutely loving it. If you would like to see one of the makeup looks I used it in, check out my friend Funto's YouTube channel. We went out a couple of weeks ago and filmed a video for her channel along with a blog post from me. I will link both below so that you can have a look.

The next product that has been a favourite for me this month would be the Maybelline 24hr colour tattoos. My favourite colour being Number 35- On and On Bronze, but I have been using all different colours a lot this month for quick and easy makeup looks. They are really easy to blend and great on their own if you want to wear some eye shadow without taking a long time to do it.
Another product that I have been loving this month is lip liner. I have been using them as lipsticks whether I just put them on by themselves or with a clear lip balm over the top to take away the matte finish. Two that I have been loving are Rimmel's Exaggerate full colour lip liner in the colour 063- Eastend Snob and Rimmel's Lasting Finish 1000 kisses lip liner in the Colour 011- Spice. In the swatch picture bellow, Spice is on the left and Eastend Snob is on the right.

The last beauty product that I have been loving this month would be the Shellac Bluesky gel polish in the colour 40524, at least that is the number on the sticker on the bottle. It is not a very summery colour but I have been loving it anyway. I have my own UV lamp which means I can do my nails myself and not have to pay every time to get them done. My painting skills may not be as good and they may chip quicker when I do them myself but they still give the same effect.

I wanted to include a couple of other things that were not beauty products as they are also things I have been loving this month. The first would be the shop Newlook. At the moment, all the things I seem to be picking out of my wardrobe to wear have been clothes from Newlook. I have also been loving jelly shoes. I have been wearing them on a daily basis but also on nights out so have been getting plenty of wear out of the pairs I own. Because both pairs of my jelly shoes are from Newlook I thought it fit in with this favourite.

One other thing that I have been loving this month is iced lattes/ iced mocha's. I have been making these myself at home and they have been really refreshing in all the hot weather that we have been having. 

That is everything that I have been loving this month.
