August Favourites.

I completely understand that 'August Favourites' are meant to be done either in August, or September 1st and it's typical of me to leave it until September 4th.

Throughout the month of August I have had so many favourites, it was so hard to only pick a few to talk about. 

So here are my August favourites, I hope you enjoy!!

                                  

I thought I would start with my film favourite and there's no doubt that it's Cinderella. This has easily become my second favourite Disney movie of all time - which is actually a huge thing seeing as I'm literally a Disney fanatic. I went to watch it in the cinema when it was released and I took my 8 year old niece and she absolutely loved it and I have to admit that whilst I was surrounded by children aged 5-12, I was probably one of the only people who cried at the movie. Definitely would recommend this magic movie. 

 

                                 

My second favourite is Girl On The Train. Choosing my favourite book for the month was probably the hardest decision if them all, I can easily read 2-4 books a month and August was no exception. I haven't even finished reading the book yet - but I love it. It's so mysterious and captivating (I obviously won't give the storyline away) but it's so good! No wonder everyone is talking about it!!

                      

Although BADLANDS was released late August, I've been waiting for it for so long that it immediately became a favourite. I could go on and on about how much I love the album and how I play it every morning before I go to work, especially the song Control, which I probably listen to at least 4 times a day...oops?

                                  

     
 I have a few beauty favourites, one of them being the Maybelline Color Drama lip pencils in the shades Fab Orange and Nude Perfection. I wear Nude Perfection almost everyday, as the name states, it's honestly the perfect nude colour. It's one of those shades that (for me) can be classed as "your lips but better". I'm not very adventurous when it comes to make up but so purchasing Fab Orange was a bit of a risk but I really like the colour. The lip pencils themselves can be quite drying but if you put a balm or moisturiser underneath you're good to go and they last for such a long time.

                                

I bought two of the Hollister fragrances and out of the two Crescent Bay is my favourite. (I'm so bad at describing scents) but it's so summery and fruity, it makes me so happy and light when I spritz it. I've always loved Hollister scents, one I had previously smelt of cherry bake-wells and everything owned was covered in the spray, huge recommendation.

                                

(I apologise for the dirty lid, oops) but I recently bought L'Oreal true match foundation in the shade vanilla and I love it. It's so light on my skin and the shade is perfect. My skin tone is so strange because I'm very pale but because of my freckles I almost have tan cheeks, it's weird and I always struggle to find a foundation but this one just seems to be the perfect shade. It's so subtle too, my skin doesn't look cakey and it isn't heavy at all.

 

                               

When I bought my Naked 2 palette I got 4 tester primers and I enjoyed using them all, but I couldn't justify spending £18 on a primer! I ended up buying a Rimmel primer - but my eye shadow creased and I found that my eyeliner would also turn out an off-grey colour instead of black. So, obviously I just HAD to purchase the Urban Decay one, even if it did cost £18. I bought it in the shade Eden and it's amazing. 

                               

   
 And my final favourite of the month is my iPad! As a few of you may know, in 23 days I'm moving out and going to University and as a 'leaving present' my sister splashed out and bought me an iPad, which I'm totally thankful for. I haven't used it for UNI yet (for obvious reasons) but it's my ultimate favourite of the month. I was going to pick the iPad mini, but I'm so relieved I bought the air as its HUGE and its perfect for what I need
 

Thanks for reading!
