September Favourites

I don't think anyone understands how bloody excited I am for autumn ah its honestly my favourite time of the year!! Its been quite minimal on the makeup front this month as I've went back to school and not been going out as much but there's a few so I'll crack on!



My first favourite this month is the Curly Hair Mousse from Boots. A lot of the curly hair mousses I use leave my hair sticky and don't normally work and they cost around £5 or £6. So I decided to try the Boots own and its probably the best one I've tried. It is normally on offer for 2 for £2 so its a great price and has a nice smell to it too so I'd say its win-win!

As I've recently gone back to school and I'm now in my final year, my stress levels have increased. My favourite hand sanitiser is the Bath & Body Works Stress Relief, so it does two things for me. Kills germs and relieves stress!

My stress also causes me to get more spots, more and more spots. Like I need them! I've been trying out the Skin Therapy Overnight Calming Blemish Serum and its working! The smell is very strong and when you apply it, it burns but I suppose that's the tea tree in the serum working. Is started to reduce the redness and I haven't got as many as expected which is always great.

For a while now, I've wanted to try some makeup from Max Factor but just never known what to get or whats the best thing. And then I saw that the Clump Defy mascara was on offer for £7.99 so I thought I'd grab it while its cheap - and I don't regret it. Its bloody fantastic! It lengthens, adds volume and doesn't cause massive clumps, its probably a new holy grail mascara.

On holiday, I bought the Thierry Mugler Alien perfume and oh my god do I love this. I've used it most days since I got back from my holiday and from when its applied in the morning you can still smell it on the evening which I love! I just love everything about this from the packaging to the lil' perfume pump. Absolute beauty!

The Revlon bronzer in Bronzilla has been talked about a bit recently so I thought I'd check out the hype and I love it. Its not the best ever pigmentation but it means that you are able to build the product up easier. Its a lovely colour for my skin and adds a nice bronze look to the skin. 

The Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Nude Foundation is something I wouldn't have been able to live without this month. I love this foundation and it beats any other of my foundations. New HG product! Check out my full review here.

Lastly, is my new favourite concealer. The Rimmel Wake Me Up! I've never tried this concealer before but I love it for my under eyes as it really cancels out all of my purpleness under my eyes - which isn't a great look! 

For other favourites I've only got two! The first is a remix song, which I wouldn't normally like, of The Frays' How to Save a Life. Listen to the song here. This remix makes me so happy and its so upbeat it gets me in the mood for everything!

My last favourite this month is my friends (cringe I know!). It was my friends 16th birthday on the 27th and it was one of the best nights of my life I can't thank her & all the rest of them enough!

What have you loved this month?
