August Favourites

This being my first monthly favourites post, I got a little excited and composed a list of around 13 things I've been loving this month. Excessive? Quite possibly. Oh well, here it is!

First off, I'd like to ask you to ignore the random makeup brush that's in this shot, derpy me forgot to move it -.-

My favourites:
MUA Undressed Palette - This palette is so so lovely for everyday shimmery shades (I think one or two of the shades are matte too which is good because I like the variation). Also, by running the darkest colours through the crease you can create a "smoky eye" look appropriate for parties and special occasions. For £3, this is defo worth every penny and more! I've gotten a lot of use out of most of the colours this month and really enjoy the palette. They stay where put also :)

Album: Pierce The Veil - Collide With The Sky
Next April, I'll be going to my very first concert (such scary, very excite) to see two of my favourite bands performing on stage together... Pierce The Veil and Sleeping With Sirens. I burst into tears when my Mum said yes, I couldn't control myself! So this month I've been very much into this album. I feel like it's the best PTV album they've made so far and I can't wait to see them in April. Wooooo!

No7 Total Colour Compact Gift Set

This baby is a life saver when it comes to things like camping - it has four lip glosses, eight eyeshadows, three blushes, a mini mascara and a double ended applicator. Oh, and a mirror. The best part about this for me is the mascara - I absolutely adore it! I got this gift set off my Nan for my birthday (thank you Nana Barlow). A very useful gift for me.

Spiky Ring (matches the bracelet in the picture though didn't come with it)

Something you'll come to learn about me is that I loves spikes and studs as jewellery, on jackets and on shoes. They're just brilliant. Now Nana Barlow (her official nickname as of now) bought me the bracelet about a year ago with a rose-gold one identical. About two weeks ago, she presented me with this amazing spiky ring that I fell in love with. I now have matching jewellery. I feel fancy and I like it. 

Dangly Earrings which have no name

Batiste Dry Shampoo Blush - Floral & Flirty
So... I can't be the only one who gets a bit lazy in the 6 weeks off and decides to skip a day of washing my hair every now and then, right? You know what I mean. Don't pretend you don't do it. This product is absolutely amazing for when you're looking a tad greasy at the roots and need a freshen up. These come in smaller sizes if you didn't already know so I'd suggest carrying one around with you in your handbag or school bag in case of emergency ;) PS - It smells amazing.

Barry M Base Coat & Top Coat
If you read my recent haul post (if not, go check it out), you'll know how recently I got it. I adore this. It makes my nail polish last days longer and is great even if you want just a tad of shine to your bare nails. Some days I just cannot be bothered to do my nails and just wear this on its own. I think it was only £2.99 so if you don't already own this please please please go get some. You wont regret it :)

Collection 2000 Frosted Nail Polish - 212
This reminds me so much of Frozen - which is an unhealthy obsession of mine. If I wear this then I'm singing the entire Frozen soundtrack repeatedly throughout the day. I'm in actual love.

Maybelline Colour Show Street Artist Top Coat - Boombox Black

I find that this nail polish works great with white underneath, purple underneath and even on its own. It looks quirky and edgy and is pretty darn awesome. There are a lot of nail polishes in this favourites post, I promise - that's the last of them now xD

Simple Facial Toner
This toner is my baby. It reduces pores and makes your skin oh so soft instantly. My holy grail toner right here. I couldn't be without it. This mini version I picked up was from the 99p store and - let's be honest here - it doesn't' really get any better than that.

Sanex Dermo Moisturising Shower Gel
I feel like this should be one of Grav3yardGirl's 'Does this thing really work?' As Seen On TV videos or something as I've seen this on many adverts over the past month. The answer to this question is yes, this thing does really work. It's moisturising and soft and SMELLS SO GOOD! Body worthy? Yaaaaaas!

Vaseline Cocoa Butter
Same goes for this product, it feels amazing and smells amazing. It works instantly - even on my dry areas such as elbows and knees. I kid you not. Again it smells good too which is brilliant.

Everlast Guitar Plectrums
The final part of this month's favourites, these guitar plectrums. They work really well, are really durable and worked out 50p per one (pack of 12 for £6) so yeah. Maths. I love these though and have vowed to not lose these ones. Reckon I can do it?

AMEN! That's the end of this post. I'm sorry for not posting in a few days, I've been really busy catching up with school work and I hope this mega long post made up for it. I'll also have another haul post up at some point this week along with the second edition of the 'I Woke Up Like This' series, so I hope you're looking forward to that. If you completely love - or completely hate - any of the things I listed above then let me know why in the comments!
