August favourites

Another month of 2015 has flown by, which means it is time for another monthly favourites post. Here are a few bits that I have been loving throughout the month of August.




The first Items are two Real Techniques brushes; Expert Face Brush and the Powder brush. I have always been a bit sceptical about how good these brushes are and how much better they can make your skin look. However, I thought I'd give them a try after so many recommendations. I can truthfully say that these brushes are one of my best purchases! I chose the expert face brush over a foundation brush as I have owned a foundation brush in the past and have found them too harsh on my skin, which this brush definitely is not. Using these brushes gives any make up look a more 'air brushed' finish to your skin, making your skin seem 'flawless'.


Carrying on along the theme of make up brushes is my next favourite which is the Real Techniques eye brush set. This includes a base shadow brush, crease brush, accent brush, eye liner brush and a brow brush. At the moment I have only used the base shadow and crease brushes, and they have worked so well in making my eye make up look neater and more professional. 


My third favourite is the Topshop 'Innocent' lip stick. I have mentioned this lip stick before in a post however, the colour and pigment of this lip stick is so good I thought it was worth another mention. It is suitable for all occasions whether that is wearing out in the day, or pairing it with an outfit for going out at night!



Another reoccurring favourite of mine from a couple of years ago are these black suede shoe boots, which I have purchased many a times from ASOS, because of their reasonable price, good quality and how comfortable they are! If you're like me and struggle to find shoes that are comfortable when you're wearing them for long periods of time, then I highly recommend these shoes. They were great for me having a summer job where I was on my feet all day, and they were still comfortable even when I was walking home from 8 hours on my feet. 


As its getting colder and Autumn is in full swing I thought it was about time to bring out the beanie hats....now I know what you're thinking, this is an august favourites post....however, these hats were just too cute and comfy at the beginning of September that I couldn't not mention them! They are all from ASOS and come in a variety of colours. 

Finally, I have been loving these cute frilly socks again from ASOS, which I bought for only £4 (Bargain!). I love to wear these with boots and having the frills poking out the top to add a more girly touch to my outfit or, they can be worn with shoes such as converse. 

Thanks for reading!
