August 2013 Favourites

It is that time again, where beauty bloggers unite in gathering a small collection of products that they have been loving for the past month to share with one another and this is normally the time that wish lists grow. You will probably hear/read 'I can't believe it is September already' more times than you would like but seriously... September? Already?  So who would I be to break tradition? This month has been super busy for me so I only have a handful of products to show you, but it is okay because they are little beauty gems.

The main thing I have been using throughout the whole of August is my MAC palette. Although I have a couple slots to fill, I have been loving creating different looks especially ones using my newer shades featured in this MAC haul. As smokey eyes are a favourite of mine, I need a strong brow to go accompany it. Benefit Brow Zings in Medium has been giving me full, Cara Delevingne esk, brows - something that I am a huge fan of! Another Benefit product that has caught my fancy lately is the Rockateur boxed blush. This mauve, rose gold shade goes perfectly with any makeup look giving you a warm flush to the cheeks. To go with the smokey eye, strong brow and flushed cheeks I have been faking my way to brighter, more glowing skin by using the Laura Mercier Illuminating Primer. This has been apart of my routine for a quite a few weeks now and I just can't get enough! Not only does it give you a glowing complexion it also helps to keep my makeup in place throughout the day.

What have you been loving lately? I am much more of a autumn/winter kinda girl so I am looking forward to the next few months, or if you are in the UK like me - eight months...
