Favourites! | September


My first ever monthly favourites! EEEK! I'm excited! Okay. *breathe* Lets begin!


This is BeneTint, a cheek and lip stain by Benefit Cosmetics. This stuff is so good if your lips lack colour or if you want that natural flushed look on your cheeks. And it literally smells of roses! So delicious. I brush this on my lips (after exfoliating them) and blend it in with my (clean) fingers to make it look more natural on my lips then apply a lip balm on top and it just looks so natural!


Swatch of Bamboo Pink
I've recently discovered this bad boy girl in my lipstick bag thingy and I fell in love with it! It's the older versions of Clinique's 'Long Last Lipstick' in Bamboo Pink. Despite coming from the whole "long lasting range", this lipstick isn't very long lasting, haha. However, it's such a pretty colour! It doesn't apply as dark as it looks and it's also very sheer and frosted. Also, I really dislike the packaging, the lid doesn't "click" which means it's more likely to come off in your makeup bag. Great colour for the Autumn season though :)


Swatch of Ballistic and smudged on right side. 
This is Rimmel's 'Lasting Finish' lipstick in Ballistic and unlike the Clinique one, this actually is very long lasting. However, I don't know whether or not I like how long it lasts (or the fact that it stains A LOT) yet. Nonetheless, this is such a gorgeoussss colour, I wouldn't say its plum, it's more of a cherry red rather than purple. It can also be blended in the lips to create a lip tint like effect. Despite me being so in love with this, I don't think I'll ever wear it out so I'll stick to admiring it at home (and smelling it! it smells gorgeous!!!). Again, this is a great colour for Autumn.


After hearing so much about Burt's Bees, I've finally decided to break my Burt's Bees virginity and actually try this much raved about product. I must say, it's actually amazing! First of all, the smell is so yummy, I could just eat it! This one is the Nourishing lip balm with Mango Butter and it's also 100% natural. I's great over lip tints, under lipsticks or even on it's own. Also, this doesn't have any petroleum in it which is good because I hate petroleum.


I first fell in love with this deep conditioner when I purchased a sample size from Asda just to try out something new. I use this every time I wash my hair and leave it on for a good 10 minutes (despite it being called "3 minute miracle"). You can really feel that it has worked when you're washing it out as my hair feels light weight and really soft. I usually leave it to air dry and the curls in my hair are really defined and bouncy. Also, did I mention that this smells divine?! It reminds me of sweets and bubblegum. Aaah.. *happy sigh*


Now, I'm really crap at describing scents so bare with me! This body spray by Charlie called Enchant is so lovely, light and feminine. I first smelt it off my little sister and she bought me one from Boots. The description on it says "Prepare to be mesmerised by Charlie Enchant. A captivating blend of wild apple, honeysuckle and coconut." ..So yeah.. haha


Excuse the crusty looking bottle but my almond oil has run out and I really wanted to put it in my September favourites as I've been using it a lot this month. I use it mostly on my hair and it makes my hair soooo soft and nice to touch. Although I hate that greasy look, I apply this to my hair and my hair sucks it up straight away! It has no smell or colour whatsoever.


How cute is the smaller bottle?! I got it as a gift from my darling cousin when I was just growing up (if you know what I mean :P) and it has been a favourite ever since! This is Britney Spears perfume called Curious and it is by far my favourite ever scent. Now, you know I'm crap at describing high notes and low notes of perfumes so I wont even try haha. It's a really soft, sweet, florally scent which can be worn any time without it smelling over powering or strong. If they stop making this, I'll cry. Literally.


Girl's... are you still reading??? Don't worry, this is the last one! My current favourite eyebrow pencil (they change all the time) is this one by the Autograph collection at Marks & Spencer's, it's their High Definition Eyebrow Pencil in the colour Brown. I like it because it hasn't got red undertones which make your brows look fake and un-natural, so therefore it's a cool undertone which is great :) ..it also comes with a spooly on the other end which is great to brush through your eyebrows before and after application to make your eyebrows look groomed and natural.

So, that's it for my September favourites! What are your favourites this month? Leave a comment :D xx
