PRETTY YOUNG THING

Sorry i've been a bit quiet recently, i've got lots going on right now. I'm working part time but doing a few extra hours at work, i'm also going to the gym and i've started making handmade cards with my spare time. I haven't had much time to blog and i've been struggling with what to blog about. I'm going to start writing more beauty product reviews. Today I thought i'd go through my new brow routine which includes the latest release from Rimmel which is their Brow This Way brow filling powder product.*

Brow this way is a 3 in 1 soft brow powder. It's so easy to use, the applicator is so good. It lasts really well. The staying power is really good and it lasts all day. I've been using the NYX Micro Brow pencil to outline my brows and then using the Brow This Way powder to fill my brows. You don't need alot of powder. You don't need to press it hard as a good amount of product comes out. As I said its really easy to use. I have been using the Soap and Glory Archery Brow Fibre Gel to set. I've actually recently repurchased this as it's so good. I've been using the Medium Brown Brow This Way and this is a good shade, it's possibly a little dark for me but the blonder shade was too light. They also do it in a black, blonde and dark brown ( my mom pinched the dark brown)

I am really impressed with the Brow This Way Powder, it's so easy to use and it makes my brows look sooo good! I've taken a before and after picture below so check that out to see how good my brows look.

It's time to spruce up your make up and add in those key Autumn bits. These are a few new bits i've picked up recently for the Autumn and some firm favourites.

First up! Have you seen my new babies, thats right i'm talking about my new Spectrum make up brushes.* They are absolutely gorgeous!!! I've mentioned them already on the blog here so check that out. I love them though, and as you can see they are perfect for any flat lay, they are so pretty with their gold handles !!

My new Morphe Brushes eyeshadow palette is another new addition to my collection. It was a birthday gift from my Sister and i've been using it so much! It's perfect, there's such an amazing range of shades and they are amazing quality. This is the 35T palette and you get a nice selection of shimmers and matte shades. The Morphe palettes are a bargain and such amazing quality!!

Kat Von D has just made her beauty debut to the UK so I had to get a couple of bits with my birthday money. I ordered online via Debenhams and had them delivered into store which was very easy and they arrived the next day. I am so so happy with my picks. The liquid lipstick in Lolita is perfection ! It's such a gorgeous shade and the finish is lovely, it's a creamy consistency and it dries so fast and not cakey. It's a little drying but you find that with most liquid lipsticks. I also got the Lock It creme concealer which is a really good concealer and I will be buying it again. It brightens the eye area and covers dark circles really well, it lasts well and isn't cakey. I really want to order a few more Kat Von D bits, what shall I order?

Nars Sheer Glow is one of my favourite foundations so I picked one up with my birthday money, even went all out and got a pump. I've been applying it with my Real Techniques sponge for a light everyday coverage. It's a lovely glowey finish and I really love it.

Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon in Bronzed Garnet is a perfect autumnal shade. It's a rich red, berry shade which looks stunning all over the eye. The Colour Chameleon pencils are so easy to use and they blend out well. I want to add a few more to my collection.

I thought i'd mention this cute little Lord and Berry blusher* in peach that i've been using recently just to add a slight pop of colour to the cheeks. It's a lovely buildable finish such a pretty colour, i've been wearing alot of bronzer throughout the summer so this is slightly more subtle.

A firm favourite of mine is Mac eyeshadow in Expensive Pink, I always tend to whip it out in the Autumn as it's a gorgeous red/ pink which gold shimmer and is lovely all over the lid. It's another easy but effective shade for the season.

I thought i'd mention my new favourite brow product. The NYX Tame and Frame is amazing! I've been running low on my Anastasia brow pomade for a while and i've been on the lookout for a uk alternative as Anastasia hasn't come to the UK yet. This NYX pomade is incredible, i've struggled to find it in my local boots but managed to find one. I've gone for the shade Brunette and it's perfect as I have my brows quite dark to match my roots, you can get it online from Boots.

I'm loving my new autumn make up picks! Have you got any recommendations of products I need to add to my collection. I have just picked up the new Urban Decay Matte Basics Palette which is lovely, i've been using it so much so you can expect a full review soon.

Lets talk about make up! I have a massive selection of make up but like any girl I have those staple items in my collection that I reach for every single day. I thought i'd share my everyday make up so you can see which bits I reach for daily.

Base: Recently i've been reaching for the Clarins BB Skin Detox Fluid and i've been using this since I got it. It's a lovely lightweight formula which has great coverage and blends so easily. I've been using this with my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer for a great everyday base.

Contour, As usual i'm reaching for the Collection Contour kit, i've actually repurchased this recently. The bronzer is the perfect shade, it's a cool toned bronzer so it doesn't make you look orange and blends out really easily for a natural looking contour.

I've been reaching for the Becca Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop highlighter since I bought it. I've reached the pan now and I will buy it again because it's gorgeous for everyday or you can build it up too.

Another product that I recently had to repurchase it the Urban Decay Potion Primer, I got the original one because I find this works best with matte eyeshadow. It makes your eyeshadow look better and last all day long, I use this every single day!

This Clarins Supra Volume mascara has recently become my favourite mascara ever, you can build up long lashes that have some amazing volume. I've been using this one it's own when usually I use two mascaras but theres no need with this one.

I've been using my HD Brows kit to define my brows along side my Soap and Glory Archery brow pencil. I really like the Archery range and use the brow pencil every day, I've repurchased this loads.

Lips:
The NYX soft matte lip creams are lovely, I have a couple of shades that I've been wearing loads recently. I'm still loving Mac Velvet Teddy and have been wearing Whirl a lot too.

Eyeshadow, I've been sticking to my Naked palettes really. I have been wearing Mac expensive pink too as it's a nice all over the lid shade.

I try and mix up my everyday make up but these are the bits I tend to use all the time and always repurchase.

I haven't done a monthly favourites for a little while and i've been giving a few new products ago so thought i'd share some of my faves!

I've been giving the new BB cream from Clarins a try and it's amazing. It's a nice lightweight product but has really good coverage. It's so easy to blend and a really lovely finish.

I haven't wore blusher for soo long but i've been wearing my Nars Deep Throat blusher loads recently just to add that little pop of colour to my cheeks.

The Two Faced Chocolate palette is one of my favourites, i've been reaching for it alot recently. There's just so many different colours inside to choose from. There's a mixture of mattes and shimmers making it a great palette. Inside theres some gorgeous bronze shades and there's an amazing reddy/purple shade.

I really like the Rosie for Autograph range from M&S i've been using the Cream Eyeshadow sticks alot recently. They are so handy for a quick sweep of colour. They blend out easily and are so pigmented and available is lots of different shades.

The Urban Decay Primer Potion is an everyday staple for me. I tend to switch between the original and it in Sin. They are amazing, it makes your eyeshadow look better and last longer.

I've been using the New Clarins Surpa Volume mascara it gives amazing volume aswell as length. You don't need to add loads and loads of layers it's such an amazing mascara, i'm so impressed with this.

The NYX Micro brow pencil has been my go to brow product this month, its so easy to use and great for an everyday natural brow. I've also been using the Benefit Goof Proof pencil which I got in Elle magazine.

The Becca highlighter in Champagne Pop is my go to highlighter, I literally use it every single day, it's the best highlighter i've ever owned. It's so easy to apply and i've only just hit the pan, i've had it for awhile so it's lasted really well.

I've been trying to use some of my other lipsticks as i've been using Velvet Teddy like every single day. I've been loving my latest Mac Lipstick which is Whirl. It's another matte finish but it's darker than my usual nude shades. I love it though, it's a more sexy colour.

Finally the NYX soft matte lip cream in Stockholm which is a lovely pink/ nude shade. It applies easily and again I have been trying to use some of my other lip colours. The NYX soft matte lip creams are a really lovely formula and I think I might need to get a few more shades.


These have been my favourites this month, I've pretty much reached for these products since i've been back from Turkey. What are your monthly favourites?
