My August beauty favourites are reflective of some of the very best products I've been loving over the summer months. When I gathered them up, I thought they looked like a rather happy bunch, don't you think? Let's take a closer look.
I'm still amazed by how easy to wear this blush is, and how natural it looks on my skin. Just add one tiny (and I mean tiny!) dot onto your cheeks, and blend out for a pretty flush of colour. Done!
Barry M Nail Paint in Coral - (NOTD)
My nails (both hands & toes) have been wearing this constantly. One of my all time favourite brights, and an unbelievably good budget buy.
Korres Lip Butter in Quince - (review & swatch)
I reach for these lip butters all the time, but Quince has been taking center stage in my make-up bag recently. I love the bright pop of pink this gives to the lips and how moisturising it is as well.
Lavera Beauty Balm
With the weather being pleasant and
the sun shining, I haven't felt the need to slather on a heavy layer of
foundation in a long time. Instead, Lavera's Beauty Balm has been one of my main go-to summer bases and I'll have a review of this up later in the week.
Benefit Hoola Bronzer
Well,
judging from the fact that I've hit pan on this, I think it's safe to
say this is one clearly loved bronzer! I've been using this for such a
long time, and still pick it up more than any of my other bronzers. It's
easy to apply, doesn't look muddy on me and it's matte, a winner all
round.
Laidbare Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow* - (review)
As
the weather's been so nice, I've been baring my legs quite a lot so
this hair minimising moisturiser has been an essential summer staple for
me. It's basically a gel like formula that you apply to your legs
after shaving and it helps to slow down the hair regrowth - and it
works!

They are amazing! Love the Korres lip butters too, I have about 5 of them :D
DeleteI've been dying to try the hoola bronzer. Great products, thanks for sharing! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Samantha! Hoola is well worth the splurge and lasts forever xx
DeleteGreat favourites. I got the watercolour blush today. I can't wait to try it, x
ReplyDeleteExcited to hear what you think of it :) x
DeleteLove the shade of the Barry M x
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam, it's a gorgeous bright coral on :) x

ReplyDeletelavera beauty balm sounds great too! x
It's so good for toes :) x
DeleteThe Korres lip butter is such a gorgeous colour :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty! xx
DeleteI've got a funny story for you today, haha(laughing already). I bought Quince when I was in Athens and was SO excited about it and when I got home I realised I'd cracked the lid. Naturally, I went about fixing it by using some super glue. However, like a moron I screwed the lid back onto the pot before the glue was completely dry. Long story short, the lid is now superglued to the pot. I must have used it about 3 times total! I was gutted and still can't unglue it. Awkward.
ReplyDeleteAnyway! It's a wonderful colour and you've reminded me that I need to wear my Pomegranate one more!It takes so long to make a dint in the Benefit boxed blushes so hitting pan is like a big big deal - proves you love it doesn't it :) Once my spending ban ends I think I might pick up a couple of budget items and I am thinking of getting a new Barry M polish. Coral looks really gorgeous. I'm a big fan of colourful nails in the winter as I tend to wear a lot of black and grey, helps brighten things up xx

Oh no! I can see the funny side of it though :D Hope you can pick up another if you liked the shade!
DeleteIt does take FOREVER to hit pan on those boxed Benefit products - I have a couple and Hoola is the first I've ever hit pan on it. I like wearing brights in A/W for the same reason, always cheers me up too seeing a shade like Coral on my nails :) xx
I love the colour of that lip butter! ive been meaning to buy one for ages now but i can never decide which shade to get because they all look so lovely!x
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem and have since ended up with about five in my make-up collection! They are addictive! x
DeleteI've always wondered if them hair minimising lotions work, so I'm delighted to hear that it does! :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried a few as I HATE waxing so only shave, and none of them have ever worked until I tried this one! :)
DeleteI've had my eye on the Lavera BB and I like the Laidbare but I kept forgetting to apply it and then never repurchased but that is typical of me lol x
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, I have the review of it scheduled for tomorrow's post :) x
DeleteOmg...I need to try that watercolor blush in the future and I've been dying for Barry M nail shades! They are SOOo glossy!
ReplyDeleteThey are super glossy! The Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blushers are amazing! x
DeleteIt's good to hear that Hoola is great :) I have a sample and I didn't try it yet :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a go, it's my HG bronzer :)
DeleteThose are some great favs :)
