Here are a few of my favourite things :)

September Hair & Beauty Favourites

I am yet to find a drugstore/high-street eyeliner which is as soft and easy to use as these little beauties hence the reason i have many colours :) I've even converted my mum to using them. The staying power is pretty good but i would advise you to use them with an eye primer as they can transfer to your eyelids. They come in a great range of colours and are very affordable.

My favourite skincare items which i have been using throughout september. From left to right.

The Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic is something i have had for a while but it has been pushed to the back of my drawers. Since seeing that Liz Earle brought out a version of this in a spray bottle i have re-invented mine and put it into a mini spray bottle bought from boots. Its great for a little extra moisture after cleansing or to freshen up your face throughout the day and it smells diviiiiine.

No7 Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser I am absolutely loving this cleanser. I really enjoy using hot cloth cleansers as they take of all my makeup so well (including waterproof mascara). This one is such good value as you get 200ml for £4.95 with a boots No7 voucher (bargain right?) It feels so soft on my skin and has left it with more of a matte appearance since using. Takes off all my makeup effortlessly and the pump bottle is brilliant as you will never waste a single dollop. This cleanser also states that it is for all skin types which i think is brilliant.

Lush Tea Tree Water I purchased this after seeing many bloggers mentioning it in their favourites and i don't regret it at all. At first i was using it as a setting spray over my makeup which worked fine but i've recently discovered it works better for me if i use on a cotton pad before applying makeup. It keeps my skin oil free throughout the day and instantly brightens my skin. It also seems to be controlling any breakouts and keeping my skin matte.

The Body Shop Pore Minimiser I was interested in buying a makeup primer to try as its something i've never included in my makeup routine. When i received an email from The Body Shop with a voucher code for 50% off i couldn't resist. I'm enjoying using this product & along with my Lush Tea Tree Water it helps keep my skin oil free all day.

Balmi-Raspberry I had been hunting in boots for what has felt like forever for one of these babies. I was torn between this and the EOS lip balms but was swayed towards this one with its natural ingredients. I absolutely LOVE IT (no exaggeration) Fixes my lips within a couple of days and it smells good enough to eat. I carry it with me everywhere and wonder how i ever lived without it.

Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara I have never in my life experienced a mascara with such staying power until i came across this. I was looking for a fibre mascara and discovered this when reading reviews on Make Up Alley (which by the way i am addicted to) so purchased one here on eBay. At first i found the consistency a bit thin and watery for my liking but after discovering it again a month later the consistency was much better. I find it goes on so well, doesn't clump at all & it literally WILL NOT budge all day. Lengthens my lashes perfectly and helps them to hold their curl. But be warned as amazing as this mascara is you will need a good eye make up remover to go with it.

Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment I wont go into too much detail about this other than the fact that i love it and it has saved my hair :) You can read my full review on this product here.

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Intensive Mask This conditioner is so ridiculously soft that i literally almost slip over in the shower every time i use it. I find my self skating along the bottom of my bath HA. I only recently re-tried using Herbal Essences and i wonder why i ever ditched them. I use this mask every time i wash my hair since it needs that extra moisture and basically for the price you cannot go wrong! I doubt there is a hair mask in the same price bracket which would beat it in my eyes.

So there you have it, my favourite products of september. Have you tried any of these products and what did you think?

Hope you enjoyed.

    1. I've been tempted by the Urban Decay ones for a while, think they'll be the next i try. I've used a Bourjois smokey eye pencil which i quite like, but it doesn't have the staying power that these ones do x
