September Standouts

*Alpha-H Essential Hydration Cream- This is potentially my sixth small tube of this moisturiser, for me to come back for second helpings is pretty much unheard so this is pretty special. Sinks in quickly, moisturises all day, no strong scent and no irritation. The lack of availability is my only complaint, internet orders only for me.


* Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder- I know I said I rarely come back for seconds but this is actually one of them. My Grandma actually gave me this the first time as she didn't like it. I however love it. This provides medium coverage with a matt finish, perfect for topping up a light foundation. I will admit I baulked slightly on repurchase as the till rung up at £31. Not one to be dropped.

* Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Eyeshadow in shade 8 - My ultimate lazy eyeshadow, no base and no brush are required, literally pat and go. High metallic shine, not a large glitter particle in sight, in a flattering pinked champagne.

What more could you want as you battle with the hotel hairdryer and the clock, which coincidently you have managed to over heat every day of your two week stay? Nothing good ever comes from packing lightly. Fact. T3 you won't be left again.

* Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume- I bought this in April when I was in New York however i ended up spending most of the summer with lash extensions, this therefore laying pretty much redundant. This brief bliss period with constant Bambi lashes caused me to forget the trials and tribulations of mascara. This is dark, holds a Shu Uemura induced curl nicely and finally is cheap as chips. Wins all round.


* Laura Mercier Brow Definer- Soft  This is a soft brown with no red tones and therefore perfect for dark blondes. It is pigmented waxy formula but not so much it appears unnatural and is very easy to control. Perfect for light definition. Love.

* Chanel Soleil Tan- Me and Chanel Bronze Universal are  not in favour. More often than not I catch a glimpse of myself with some tangerine stripes across my face. Not classy. Not fabulous. Definitely not Chanel. Perhaps Coco?

This however is very different, think soft focus lens and that blurry perfection. This is a blend of soft tan and gold shimmer in a light liquid consistency. This is with some Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser is proving to be a winner on good skin days.

* New nail varnish storage- The selected few made it to the Autumn/Winter kilner jar and there is only space for metallic, berry and glitter. All that glitters is most definitely gold to me. 

And finally my new glasses. Tortoiseshell, slightly oversized and most definitely over priced. Lost my sight, lost my money.

Have a happy Friday!
