August favourites

It's that time once again for a little bit of favourites action. Here are the products I've been using and loving throughout August.

Yankee Candle Concentrated Room Spray in Coconut Bay -  £5.65

I absolutely love this room spray, it's odour eliminating and smells seriously amazing - plus I love me some coconut. If your room needs a quick pick-me-up just give this bad boy a quick squirt. The scent lingers for ages, it might be a tiny can but it really packs a punch. 

Yves Saint Laurent Fusion Ink Foundation

So, I managed to get myself a pretty decent sized sample of YSL's newest foundation a few weeks ago. The sample was enough for me to use everyday for well over a week which was totally long enough for me to fall completely in love with it. 

It claims to last 24 hours. Well I don't know if that's true as I never kept it on that long but after a good ten hours it still looked pretty darn good. It feels like a dream going on, it's pretty lightweight with medium coverage that's really buildable. It made my skin look almost flawless. 

It comes in a good shade selection, 16 in all. I'm the second lightest shade which is a great colour match. On writing this I hadn't picked up my full sized bottle yet but my name's on that waiting list! (Fusion Ink is £30.50) 

L'Occitane Shea Extract Liquid Soap in Sweet Almond - £19

I seriously can't stop washing my hands since I started using this. Yes, for a liquid soap it's pretty pricey but it lasts a long long time and smells soooo good. When visitors use it they always comment on how nice it is. When it's gone I will absolutely buy another - the Lavender one is next on my list. 

Hope Girl 3D Mascara in black 

I got this marvellous mascara in a Memebox this month (check out my box review here). 

Loving this beauty. I use two coats. The first adds length, the second volume. It holds the curl and doesn't flake. The metal tube is lovely too. All round brilliant product. 

(Get the Memebox it came in here).

OPI Pure 18K White Gold & Silver Nail Varnish - £29.99 

This is probably the most luxurious nail varnish I own. It's totally expensive - thankfully I got it in a sale for £15 (which is still a lot!). This clear top coat is an OPI collaboration with Mariah Carey and contains flakes of real 18k white gold & Silver. 

It totally blings up any nail varnish (urgh, I hate the word bling) but it also looks lovely on its own. It takes a few coats to really get the flaked gold effect but it really is beautiful. There's something great about knowing you've got real gold and silver on your nails! 

So that's it for my August favourites. Looking over the list it was a pretty spendy month, whoops. You can check out my budget friendly July faves here.

I'm off to wash my hands!
