August Beauty Favourites!

So it's been the holidays and I've been a bit naughty because I've been buying LOTS of makeup/hair products. So I'd thought I'd share some of my favourites with you :)

First up is foundation, now I have 2 Rimmel foundations that I absolutely love, I have quite dry skin and these foundations work for me. 

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation


This foundation has a great coverage and is so easy to apply, I use a brush to apply my foundation so it blends well and looks even but you can rub in with clean fingers if you don't have a brush. I wear the shade classic beige as my face isn't very tanned but they do a wide range of shades to suit many. I wore this foundation for my prom in June and I loved it. It's currently around £6.99.






The next is Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation


This one is my most recent purchase, this foundation has an anti-fatigue effect which instantly makes you look awake and fresh. It has an illuminating effect to it as well which gives you that glowing, radiant look. Again, I use a brush to apply it to my face and it just gives me a nice glow. This is retailed around £8.99 so is slightly more expensive but is recommended by beauty bloggers such as Zoella.






Now onto concealer, my favourite one for this month has to be Technic's concealer with tea tree oil


This is in the form of a stick, it's great for dark, under eye circles giving a good coverage. I find it slightly peachy so I wouldn't use it for anywhere else on my face, it just covers my dark under eye circles nicely. It has tea tree oil in it which is just a booster, and it doesn't affect my eyes when I put it under them. I wear the light shade. This is quite cheap, pricing around £2.






I've got a few hair products that I love too, first is my Argan Oil Hydrating Hair Mask


I absolutely LOVE this, it's an intensive conditioning treatment with Moroccan Argan oil extract and it just does wonders for my hair. It has a mousse like consistency and I think it smells nice too. I use it after I've shampooed my hair and towel dried it, then I apply it all over my hair from root to tip and leave it on for around 10 minutes. It leaves my hair looking and feeling soft and hydrated. You get a 220ml tub for £4 which I think is a bargain!



Next are 2 shine sprays, V05's smoothly does it tame & shine spray and Schwartzkopf's shine tonic


This has featured in the V05 advert, it leaves my hair looking sleek. It has heat defence in it which is an  ultimate bonus as I'm always using heat  tools on my hair (I know I shouldn't but my hair is too frizzy to leave it natural). This is the more expensive out of the two but still not too pricey at around £3.50










Schwartzkopf's Shine Tonic is particularly for dry and damaged hair so if you have hair that isn't in the best of conditions this one is the one to use. It repairs hair as well as making it looking nice and healthy. Again a nice, cheap essential at around £1.50






My last product I will be mentioning is Messhead's Dry Shampoo



This is perfect for them busy days when you haven't got time to fully wash your hair, it takes away that greasy hair look and leaves hair feeling and smelling great. TIP: Make sure you brush it through your hair otherwise the product may make you look like you have grey hairs coming! Its only around £2 so you can't go wrong.














I hope you enjoyed this and I recommend any of these products.

Thankyou for reading!

Bye xx
