I've not posted one of these in a while, with moving and not having spare money to splurge on beauty products it seems i've been making use of what i already have. These products this month make me feel fresh for for summer, so let me share;
I picked up this new Elemis Flash Balm sample in Red magazine. (purley bought the magazine for the sample..! £2 in Tesco). As my Clarins beauty flash balm is on its way out, i'm hoping this is going to prove an alternative for my primer. This can be used as a moisturiser  primer or a radiance boost. It has a bit of a odd smell i can't yet work out, but leaves a shimmery finnish on the face.
Now this is something, the Weleda Skin Food. I received in a Birchbox this is the thickest and most nourishing cream i have had hold of, I first used this on my face when it needed a little pick me up, but i have discovered the best place i've used this is on my tired feet (Yuk i know) But i have smothered my feet in this stuff before putting on some comfy slipper socks. It works!

Not alot this month, really i have lots of things i need to use up so i've being behaving and not purchasing so much and sticking to a routine.
The most outstanding product from this month is the new Revlon nearly naked foundation - i'm going to blog a full review shortly of how much i love this. I normally just stick to my BB creams latley and havn't used my foundations mainly because i'm quite happy with not being so heavy on makeup but this Revlon foundation is perfect it gives a natural dewy finish.
Latley i've been making the effort to prime before adding make up, at first i tried out  Benefits porefessional and Collection 2000's primed and ready, i decided i didn't like these at all the texture was just too un natural on my skin but then i've tried out Clarins Beauty Flash Balm as a primer which i adore and it smells delightful, gives my skin an instant refresh and helps my makeup stay in place all day. To finish my makeup routine i've also being spritzing Vichy's Thermal Spa Water, which i received in Birchbox. I was a little sceptical of this as the ingredients just simple state 'aqua' which isn't that just water? never the less its a nice feeling to set my makeup but its not something i'd repurchase.
Speaking of Birchbox another favourite received from them is the Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Balm, although it looks a bright red it just add a hint of colour while nourishing the lips.
Finally my last favourite is from REN Rose Bath Oil. I love my baths, its how i relax and de stress on an evening and this oil not only makes the water smell delightful it feels almost like a treatment as it fills the whole bathroom of its loverly aroma.

Neom Tranquility Bath Oil - I already blogged about this here, but oh my god this is just my favourite way to relax for bedtime. Neom Organics are just hands down my favourite company right now i just wish i could indulge in a few more products to try out!

Theres a few things from Lush here, if you read my blog then you know how much i love lush. I normally stick to the things i know i love however in the boxing day sale i picked up a few gift sets which are a great way to discover new products and heres what i love:
Lush Dream Cream - I've actually always wanted to try Lushs body lotions but they seemed a little pricey for what they where. Dream cream is fantastic  its so nourishing and smells amazing, i will not hesitate to purchase this again.
Lush Ponche Shower Gel - This is a bright orange gel, little scary to be honest but in the bottle it kind of separates and when you shake it up it comes out really creamy it also smells refreshing of oranges and apparently tequila..
Lush Silky Underwear - This is something i wouldn't have bought if i was in the store, but its actually pretty good! It reminds me of being old fashioned using talc powder but this one smells of jasmine.

Real Techniques Buffing Brush - I got this in the core collection as a christmas present and it is really the brush that stands out, it has made me applying my foundation or BB cream effortless.

Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial - I wasn't going to give in with all the hyper on this new lip lacquers Rimmel has recently released, i have so many lip products. However i went out to purchase the Nude colour they did but it was out of stock so i got this one instead, i really love it, its so wearable everyday and lasts a fair amount of time.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes in Nude - This is just a simple nude eyeliner i've been loving to give my eyes a really nice morning awake look.

I was a little late in putting up a September favourite posts, so i decided not to but these are a couple of new things i'm enjoying using right now. I love autumn, yes its colder but theres just something about it that i love, the trees are turning, i can light candles and feel really cosy.
I've spent the past week feeling pretty lousy, i guess its because its suddenly colder and everyone seems to have become sick... i'm getting over it. (sniffle)
My skin in general has suddenly felt alot drier, i don't know if its because i haven't been well or just the climate change, maybe just a combination of them both!



Elizabeth Arden Eight hour cream hand treatment - I really love EA's 8 hour range, it smells a little strange but it really does work, this hand cream is great on the go, i've got some 8 hour facial moisturiser i'm dying to try out but i'm saving it for my holiday next month. I think this range is really good for this time of year.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in soft and gentle - I've been using this alot lately its loverly for just finishing off the face with to brighten and highlight.

Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel - This is an exfoliater mask, left on the skin for 10 minutes the natural fruit enzymes exfoliate and purify tired skin. I see this as more of a mask than an exfoliater, i like exfoliaters that are more like scrubs - I do love this peel and it seems to bring out the inpurities of my skin afterwards. (this is just a tester i've borrowed from the spa at work, but i will probs end up purchasing it in the future)


MAC Browset - I've been quite into grooming my brows lately  it really finishes off my face even with little or no makeup - the brow set i have is in begile neatly keeps any stray hairs together without that horrible waxy feeling (or i've used other brow sets before and they have left a white residue)
Essie nail laquer in recessionista - this is form them limited edition line for autumn, i've been looking for a  nice deep red for a while and it was had to part with my £8 for an Essie polish but honestly i do prefer this paint to so many other polishes and its worth it in the end for staying/chip free power alone.

Balance Me  wonder eye cream - I really do love the naturalness of Balance Me products and this eye cream is loverly for freshing up the eye area (after not so much sleep.... ) leaves eyes feeling revitalized and has quite a nice scent too.

Long time no blog! August was a month for me i decided to save a little money to put aside for a holiday, however it didn't work out i still felt the need to buy a few products here and there.. I'm starting to collect alot of the same things that i just really need to use up! Here are my favourties from this month
