September Favourites


Maybe a little late being a few days into October, but here is what I have been loving a lot for the past month. My first was bought by accident, well basically I went to go buy some little bits for my cousins birthday present, I liked it so much I bought one for myself as well! 

Rimmel Colour Rush Balm in 710 Drive Me Nude. I really like these lip products shaped like a chubby pencil, I think they are super easy to apply, especially with the point to get a little more precision to your application. 
So this product says : "Moisturising Long Lasting Lip Colour ALLURING COLOUR, TENDER LIPS… So Kissable!"
I definitely agree with long lasting, I can put this on for work and after five-six hours when I finish, yes it has faded a little, but with a lot of lip products you would usually find it has pretty much gone. Also I found it fades well not leaving your lips with little colour patches. The range holds twelve different shades, so quite a few to choose from, my cousin only likes wearing nude colours hence why I have the nude shade of the bunch but it is a gorgeous, easy, wearable shade perfect for any time of the year. As for moisturising, I find a lot of the matte/long lasting lip products tend to be very dry and leave your lips flaky. I was very surprised with this one, as it says in the name "balm" it does go on super easy like a lip balm and then sets after a little while to a semi matte finish. So finally "kissable?" yes I believe so hehe! I will be getting my mitts on some of the others in this range. 

Rimmel Colour Rush Balm - 710 Drive Me Nude £5.99
Whilst I am talking about lips I may as well move onto my next favourite, from Estee Lauder another nude shade called 120 Desirable, the Pure Color Envy Lipstick. So I saved all my beauty club points up and ended up paying just over two pound for this one hehe! Oh my firstly I just want to say I love the packaging super simple, looks a luxury product with the navy and gold colours, but I really like that as you lower the lid it just clicks into place. Super simple I know but a nice finishing touch. This is a sculpting lipstick and I love how even though I chose a nude shade it adds shape and appears to plump up my lips with the full coverage colour. One swipe over my lips and that's it a fuller looking pout! A luxury creamy formula that leaves your lips feeling super soft and hydrated throughout the day. The only negative I have about this is the longevity, I find it does not last as long as other lip products but it does fade beautifully and it would not put me off buying other shades. 

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Lipstick - 120 Desirable £24
My only other make-up favourite are the Katy Perry Eylure Lashes - Lovely Lolita (£5.95), I got these to wear at the Katy Perry concert back in May, I only went and forgot them that night. But I found a couple of other occasions to wear these and I love them. I was a little worried that the Katy Perry range would be a lot of fuller and longer lashes but these are just perfect, adding a little "oommpphh" to your natural lashes. This set have clusters of six to seven lashes spread evenly with a short/medium length. Basically just right for the natural glam look.

Finally my last two products I have been using together quite a lot in September. From The Yorkshire Soap Company I got Bomb Cosmetics Raspberry Blower Cleansing Shower Butter (£7.99), silly me read the label wrong in the shop and thought it was a moisturising butter like the body butters from The Body Shop. But you actually take a scoop and lather it up in the shower, so it is like a tub of soap instead of the traditional bar of soap. Containing natural shea butter this is a rich and moisturising formula. I love the smell it reminds me of raspberry ripple ice-cream, and also goes really well with King Of Skin from Lush (£5.75). I know I am pretty late to trying out this but oohh my I am glad I finally got it! It is just perfect, after rinsing off my new shower butter I grab my King of Skin and use this all over like I would moisturiser but straight onto wet skin. I then pat myself dry and ta daa! super soft skin. I think I am starting to like this more than my Soap and Glory Righteous Butter, but only because I like the way King of Skin leaves your skin feeling more hydrated and nourished, like I can still feel the moisturiser slightly after a few hours of application. With a combination of bananas, avacados, and oatmilk as few of the ingredients no wonder I love the smell, very nearly similar to The Breakfast Scrub from Soap and Glory. 

Phewwuu .... Hope you liked my ramblings on about things I have been loving in September, leave a comment if you use any of these and what your favourite products are.
