August Loves

Yippeee August is over and you know what that means?? Yes another month closer to Christmas, oh I love that time of year. I have been reaching for some of my August Loves every single day, let me tell you more.

Weleda Skin Food
I must admit I initially purchased this because I read somewhere that Victoria Beckham loved it, there you go I have admitted it! I am glad I did though as its truly amazing and has worked wonders on my sons eczema. I would highly recommend you invest in this product, its fab to have in your collection.

Caudalie Divine Oil*
I use this oil in a few different ways, I do love a good multi use item. Its great for my hair and cuticles, I will certainly invest in another bottle once this has gone.


Neom Organic Hand Cream #Violet, Chamomile & Cedarwood
I honestly think this is the best smelling hand cream ever made. What i also like about this cream is the formula, it sinks into my hands instantly, leaving no greasiness at all. I find this especially good to use at work, I can apply to my hands and be typing again in a few seconds.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream*
In a few days Charlotte Tilbury will be launching her new beauty collection in Selfridges, I cannot wait to see all the products, I have no doubt that each item will be divine. I was lucky enough to be able to test Charlotte's Magic Cream, its the most beautiful nourishing cream. It smells glorious and reminds me of Creme De La Mer. Its a must have in my opinion.

Mac Face & Body C1 & N1
I am surprised to say this, but I am absolutely loving this foundation. I normally wear quite a high coverage base, but for some strange reason I wanted to try this. WOW I am totally sold, I now need to decide what shade to get???

Murad Skin Perfecting Primer #Dewy Finish
I found this in my draw, I have no idea where I picked this up?? Maybe a beauty box?? I have been wearing this under Mac face & body samples, again this is not the usual look I go for, leaning towards oily skin I normally run as far as I can from the dewy look! I love how this primer dries and leaves my skin feeling matte and ready for my foundation. I have tried a few different bases with this and they all apply lovely. I really want to try a Matte one to see how I like that finish.

Mac MSF #Porcelain Pink
This was my first MSF and I fell head over heels, thank you soooo Much Laura for introducing me to this beautiful product. I gently apply to the tops of my cheek bones, oh it's so pretty.

Tarte #Exposed
I still cannot believe I own this product, I dreamed about this day for months. I know that sounds silly but I did, and I was not disappointed. Its simply beautiful and I cannot wait to add more to my collection, Exposed is a little lonely on her own. Again thank you soooooo much Megan.

Mac Beauty Powder #Peaceful
I have owned this for years, I have no idea what the collection was?? But the packaging is a tiger print and sooo lovely, I have been reaching for this everyday recently. The colour is quite pale, this is perfect for my light skin tone.

Maybeleine Baby Lips #95 Strike a Rose
Again the lovely Megan sent me this in our recent swap, I have worn this every single day in the month of August, its the perfect shade for me.

Une Lip Toned Colour #L02
If I had to describe a Jen shade this would be it, I love your' lips but better' and all that jazz. The formula is so nourishing I will most certainly be adding a back up of this shade pretty soon.

Lancome Rouge in Love #322
This little cutie is from a Lancome gift set I picked up after Christmas, there was three mini lippies in the set and I paid just over a fiver!!! Hello bargain, this is my fave shade out of the three. I had actually forgotten about them, so they have seen no love, this will change now.

Une Blush #B03 Breezy Cheeks
I have worn this at least 2-3 times per week, its a creme to powder formula. I think the shade is super pretty and complements my skin tone perfectly. What I also love is the staying power, it lasts all day without the need for reapplication.


Wet & Wild Trio #335 Silent Treatment
Oh my, I cannot get over the last shade in this trio. I feel lost for words, its soooo nice, think taupe, pewter, lilac and a little shimmer. That all mixed up is what I am talking about, I NEED A BACK UP in my life, in fact may be two just to be safe.

Jenny beaded necklace
My sweet sons made me this for me. I love the little things they make me, I will keep them forever, they mean the world to me. I am so thankful for my precious son's they amaze me everyday and they are the best thing to happen to me.
