Hi, Beauties!
Can you believe we're half way through September already? It's crazy; I'm already getting excited thinking about Halloween and Christmas! (and yes, I'm deadly serious). Because of time flying by, I thought it'd be fun to do a mid-month favourites post and talk about the beauty products I've recently purchased and currently loving. I personally think that they're perfect for anyone and everyone and because of their small size, they're great for carrying around in your handbag on a daily basis. I am also aware I always talk about how great things are for travelling (sorry!) but, if you can't carry products around with you to touch up throughout the day, then gurl - what's the point?!
Urban Decay 'All Nighter' travel size makeup setting spray (30ml) (£10.00)
This is the first time I've ever purchased the UD setting spray after years of hearing what a revelation it is, and I couldn't agree more. It's such a weightless mist and makes my makeup last all day - and all night! It doesn't have a strong scent, so it's great if you're easily irritated by fragrances. I know some setting sprays can smell quite chemically which is not what you want when you're wearing it all day. It also absorbs any oils and mattifies the face, so for all you oily/combination gals out there like myself - this is a must-have. As you all know, I'm obsessed with travel-friendly products and why I purchased the 30ml product. I keep it in my bag and if I'm feeling like my skin is more oily than usual, I'll have a quick mist mid-day and know everything will stay put for the rest of the day.
e.l.f. HD Lifting Concealer (Fair) (£4.50)
This concealer is great for brightening the under-eyes and highlighting the bridge of your nose. It's nice and creamy and blends really well into the skin. I've found that once you've applied the concealer with the wand provided, use a beauty-blender to blend the product out as it reduces the chance of creasing and also sets the concealer better. There are currently only 2 shades available; Fair and Light. However, at £4.50 it's a steal.
Tanya Burr Chasing the Sun Peonies Illuminating Powder (£7.49)
I absolutely adore Tanya's beauty line. Her products are always such high quality and beautifully packaged, with this highlighting powder being no exception. I think this works great as both a highlighter and a blusher that can be used day and night. I like to apply it with a fan brush to the apples of my cheeks and cheekbones to give me a subtle, yet, a youthful pretty glow.
Tanya Burr 'Bear Hug' Lipstick
As Autumn is practically here, I always like to transition from using light pink nude lipsticks to more darker neutral nudes. This colour is perfect for throughout the day during the Autumnal/Winter season. It gives a really nice matte finish and the creamy consistency allows it to glide onto the lips really easily. It also has great pigmentation and lasts for a good few hours, even in these weather conditions!
Lush Charity Pot Hand & Body Lotion (10g Trial Size) (£1.00)
Containing 21 ingredients including shea butter and Rosewood oil, this lotion is great for protecting the skin, especially against the Autumnal cold and rain. I've only been applying a pea-sized amount onto my hands and arms throughout the day and it has worked wonders. My skin feels really hydrated and nourished and melts into the skin really well, leaving no oily residue behind. I purchased the trial size just to see how well the product would work with my skin, but also its compact size is great for keeping in your handbag and reapplying throughout the day. More importantly, 100% of all the proceeds made from the lotion are donated to small grassroots organisations - so you're not just being kind to your skin but to the world too! (smiles all around).
I hope you guys have enjoyed this post. If you'd like more posts just like this one, please leave me a comment below or contact me through my social media. Enjoy the rest of your week my lovelies and I'll see you all soon.
Until next time hunnies,
With Love,
Emma xoxo
