Oh. My. God. It has been sooooo long since I last blogged, I have been wanting to get a post up for ages but I have been finding it difficult to find spare time at the moment to get it done. But I have finally got round to it and my blog has had a wee make-over too - I hope you all like it, it's taken me a while to get it looking the way I wanted it to but I think I am finally getting somewhere.
I thought I would dive back in with a September Favourites post since I've been away from blogging for a while there are so many things I want to tell you all about so I might as well bung them all in one big post!
I seen this highlighter in the shop and I swatched a bit on my hand and fell in love instantly! It’s a shame it doesn’t really show up in photographs (I did try..) but in person it is beautiful. It gives the skin more of a sparkle than a dewy look as the glitter particles are quite big - but there is nothing better than a bit of sparkle! This also looks great dusted over your legs arms and chest when getting ready for a night out.
Urban Decay Perversion Mascara - £17.50
Urban Decay Describe this mascara as BIGGER. BADDER. BLACKER. and they hit the nail of the head! This is such a good mascara, it really lengthens and thickens your lashes which is a miracle for me because I have the worst lashes ever. I could easily get away with not wearing falsies on a night out with this. It has a really big wand which has proper bristles rather than plastic, which I love. I have used this every day since I got it and I think I could be close to running out *cry* but I will definitely but this again. 10/10 Urban Decay, Well Done!

I mentioned this in a previous haul post before I had had the chance to properly get a good feel for the product. BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT! I feel like I am forever raving about this, I tell everyone that they need it in their lives. This is a game changer for your brows. I had always used a brown/grey eyeshadow for my brows before this. Use a small angled brush and you will be able to easily get the perfect brow in just a few minutes. Just remember with this a little goes along way and you can end up looking like coco the clown if you don't use this sparingly.
This perfume is a hidden gem! When I wear it I always get people asking what perfume I have on and people are always shocked when I tell them that it was only £12.00 and from River Island. It really reminds me of the new YSL Black Opium, which I also love, except this is a fraction of the price. If you are a fan of light, floral or fruity scents then this one is definitely not for you. It is quite a deep, musky scent – If you like Alien or Black Opium then definitely give this a shot.

| Left: Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Violet - Right: Silk Creme Foundation in Beige Ivory |
The Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundaton has been my favourite for a long time! It has now been re-formulated and rebranded as the 'Photo Edition' and is now being offered in moisturising formula or oil free formula. I repurchased at the start of the month and I have to say I still love it just as much. I was colour matched to the shade beige ivory the very first time I used it and again when I bought this time so the colours have stayed the same for anyone who was contemplating re-purchasing the new stuff. This is a medium coverage foundation and creates a gorgeous, flawless base for the rest of your make-up. Great everyday foundation! I do wonder how they have justified bumping the price up by £2.00 though....
This is one of my favourite colours of lipsticks that I have ever bought. I have never been able to find a violet/purple shade that looks so bright once it has been applied. it is bright, long lasting, feels comfortable on the lips and I can't really say much more about it - the colour speaks for itself really. Can't wait to try more of these - I have the Coral one on my wishlist!
I put together an everyday make up look using the products I have just spoken about - Sorry about the lighting, I have lost the charger for my camera so I had to use my phone for pics and the quality isnt the best.
This weekend there are lots of 10% off in the big department stores online and in-stores so , this would be the perfect time to pick up anything you have had your eye on or anything I have mentioned above.
What have your favourites been this month?
Love,
