It's the end of August and I was just bombarded by the fact that 10 years ago today, at the age of 12, I started Secondary School........I feel so old!!!!!! (-____-'')......
Alright, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and get onto my favourite products from last month.
Skin Care:
- Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream - I'm pleasantly surprised by this product. It's my first time using a gel moisturiser and I must say I love that it doesn't make me look exceedingly shiny. My face doesn't feel oily at all, it feels hydrated and soft. A big yes to this product especially if you are an oilier individual and if you have drier skin, I do believe Garnier makes a formula specific for dry skin.
- L'Oreal Youth Code Serum - I mentioned this in my skincare empties a while back and nothing has changed, I still absolutely love this product and will continue to repurchase it. It truly fades dark spots and dark marks, it leaves the skin looking luminous and it's just a great product. Highly recommend!
Makeup:
- Avon UltraGlazewear lip glosses - I hauled these a while back and these two glosses have rekindled my love of lip glosses. For the past 2 years I gave up on lip glosses because I could not stand the sticky and gunky feeling of some of the glosses I owned, so I went exclusively to lipsticks. However, these bad boys have converted me. The shades I own are rich Raspberry (left) and Palm Beach Pink (right). The colours are beautifully pigmented, slightly tacky but not sticky, and they wear beautifully. They've been living in my handbag ever since I bought them and I really do want to get more of these glosses. Avon keep up the awesome work with the makeup products, I love'em!
- Avon AeroVolume Mascara - This mascara I've been using for just over a month now and I do like it, however it's not the best mascara I've ever used but it's good. It thickens the lashes and adds a decent amount of volume. It's not the outrageous volume you would expect from something named AeroVolume, but it's more volume than a natural lash look but it's not super dramatic.
- Real Techniques brushes - I've been lusting over these brushes for so long and now that I finally own them, I can see why so many people love them. They are AH-MAZE-BALLS!! Super soft and plush, the Expert Face brush blends and buffs foundation like a dream. However, it's the Fine Liner brush that takes my heart. It tales the work out of applying gel liner. It picks up just enough product for a full application to the eye, without the need for constantly dipping the brush back into the product and it makes doing winged liner so much easier. I will not be surprised if my brush collection slowly starts developing into a Real Techniques shrine.
Videogames:
- Sims 3 - I've recently started back playing the Sims 3 and I forgot how easy it was to just get sucked into that game for hours on end. The Sims 4 will be released later this month and I know that I need to buy it....goodbye non-existent social life!
- Pokémon Y - I'm going to become a Pokémon master no matter how long it takes me! I've been breeding and trading Pokémon in a desperate attempt to complete the Pokédex before the release of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, hopefully I can get it done in time *fingers crossed*
I've been pretty slow on finishing a couple of books I've been reading. I need to finish The Hobbit, The Percy Jackson Series as well as Philip Zimbardo's Lucifer Effect (because Psychology lol). Doctor Who is the only thing I watch on television lately and I must say I'm loving Capaldi.
Anywhosers, that's it for this post, hope you all enjoyed. Feel free to tell me some of your faves in a comment and until next time, stay happy, healthy and positive and I'll see you soon.
