Hey guys!
Somehow, it's now October?! I'm super happy about this as I'm such as Autumnal/Winter gal - out comes the berry lipstick, beanies and ankle boots! Here's what I've been loving in September -let me know what you've loved this month in the comments below.
I picked this up on a whim a few weeks - I was super intrigued by the packaging, as I've not tried a foundation in a pot before. I purchased it at an introductory price of £5.49, but even at £7.48 it's not going to break the bank. I'm going to do a full review on this foundation in the upcoming weeks, so I'll keep this fairly short, but I LOVE this! Although it's not summer anymore and a lighter base isn't really necessary, this is such a comfortable foundation on the skin - it sits so nicely and has such a lovely mousey texture. This has been incorporated into my main makeup routine, and I can't rave about it enough. Would highly recommend!!
I've had this product for a couple of months now, but as we're heading into Autumn and I'm fazing out the liquid lipsticks a bit, I've rediscovered my love for this. The shad got is 'Naked Talent', which is the most beautiful pinky nude. It's the perfect in between - not as brown-toned as perhaps Velvet Teddy by MAC (if you know me, you'll know I always bang on about this), but not too pink toned as to stand out. It stays on throughout the day, even through eating and drinking, plus the packaging is so classy and gorgeous. This has been living in my college bag with me, and yeah, another thing you should pick up.
Okay, so I'm very naughty and am too lazy to use a primer before I smother my skin in foundation (I know, I should use one), but I never find they add anything to my skin - if anything, my skin feels greasier and my makeup lasts the same amount without one.
This is the perfect alternative, and makes me feel less lazy, as I'm still technically prepping my skin with something... see my point? I've been using this for months in my makeup routine and realised I've never actually spoken about this properly. Once I've washed my face in the morning, I spritz with this, give it a couple of moments to settle than do my makeup as normal. My skin is generally slightly oily, but sometimes dry - it's also very sensitive and this has never aggravated my eczema or broken me out. My makeup just goes on soooo much smoother with this underneath.
I've had various friends begging me to pick this up, so I ordered myself a copy, and I do not regret a thing. I would say that this is such a table piece - you can leave it on the coffee table and whenever anybody comes round, they can have a flick through. Apart from the fact that the matte black cover is super pretty (apart from my fingerprints on it, oops), it is so beautifully written. The poems are super short, so you can read just a couple of pages a day, or the whole thing in one go. I adore the illustrations as well, all in all this is incredible.
Hope you enjoyed this post, and have had a good month!
