A Few Autumn Beauty Picks

So my break from blogging was somehow unintentionally extended, but lets just pretend I never left shall we...

As much as I loved summer, I found myself starting to ache for those darker autumnal hues and the opportunity to whack out Rebel or Diva (MAC fiends will relate). So when september finally made an appearance, I got a little too excited about the fact that my staples would soon do a complete 180.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: September

LEFT - Bronzing Primer | RIGHT - Age rewind Concealer 

September for me, is always the month of denial. I refuse to believe that summer is over until October hits. I absolutely despise cold weather and the daylights getting shorter so I dread when this time of the year comes rolling round. Of course, I love christmas as I'm sure 99.9% of the population do, its uplifting joyful and festive, but until then, lets all just mourn over the fact that summer has now seised to exist. 

Wow. what an uplifting introduction that was. On the positive side.. Pumpkin Spice Lattes... lets have a show of hands over who could drink this till the cows stop mooing. Me! Right, enough of that, on with the favourites! 

THOUGHTS: Bourjois Bronzing Primer

Trolling through Boots on the oh so fabulous 'buy 1 get another 50% off' deal' I decided it was time to give this fairly new release a test. I've had my eye on the Chanel soleil tan de chanel for quite some time but figured I should give this one ago before hammering the bank account on a bronzer. Also, having heard Chanel owns Bourjois (or vice versa) I thought it would be of the same concept. I absolutely love to contour so the idea of a cream bronzer ticks all the boxes for me! 

BARGAIN BEAUTIES: Elf Blush and Bronzer Duo

I was never the one to order make up online, I much prefer swatching the product in a store than guessing on an image. So when it came to ELF products it wasn't necessarily something that appealed me. Having travelled to America, ELF was a brand that first caught my attention in the drugstores, as if it wasn't cheap enough already in the UK, in the US it was practically for free. I immediately snatched this well loved duo up to witness all hype for myself. 

BARGAIN BEAUTIES: Top 5 Products Under £5

LEFT - Sleek Blush in 'Pixie Pink' | MID LEFT - Baby Lips in 'Cherry Pop' | MID RIGHT - Baby Lips in 'Pink Punch' | RIGHT - Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in '005 Nude' 

I'm a huge drugstore make up fan and I think the brands on the high street really have improved to the point that some of their products are of equal or maybe even better standard than those in the high end spectrum. This title has been floating round the blogger's world and youtube for a while and I've been meaning to give it a whirl but i'm just going to put this out there right now.. I'm a massive procrastinator. So it has taken me a while to finally drag my butt up and route through my collection for some gems. I thought it would be quite a task but it took me a mere few minutes to pick them out, so much so, I may have to do another post!

But anyway, I hope you find this useful or at least interesting!

SUMMER SELECTION SERIES: 5 Products I Would Repurchase

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I do have an excuse.

 So this week I have been on a work placement in a... wait for it.... law firm! and yes, I do feel a bit like legally blonde (which is my all time favourite movie... EVER!) so that just may have influenced my interest in law... But anyways, Its still going on and have accumulated many paper cuts from all the filing but its an experience. 

Long introduction over. So I thought I would do another post in my Summer Selection Series and watching through my subscriptions I saw this title come up a lot so I thought it would be fun!
