The Best of August || Beauty

 Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Sorry for being absent from the blogging world for the past few days but I'm currently away on holiday and like the ever organised blogger I am, didn't prepare any posts in advance! As I haven't done a beauty favourites post in a few months, I thought I'd share with you some products that have been helping me survive the summer heat and have been general faves throughout the month of August!
 
First up we have Benefit's Porefessional which is a bit of a cheat seeing as I only bought it half way through the month but this beauty wasn't waiting until September! This is a product I've been lusting after since I received a sample back in November and it seriously hasn't let me down! This leaves a gorgeous, silky service to apply makeup onto and my usually large pores are next to unnoticeable!
 
 
Another product I've been loving throughout the month of August is the Kerastase K Lift Vertige* (full review) which has been an absolute lifesaver for my usually awful hair. As someone who quite frankly lives for a topknot, wearing my hair down is something of an occasion. I find my hair to have little volume or oomph when left to its own devices, but with a pump of this massaged into the roots before blow-drying, you can call me Beyoncé! (Slight exaggeration, but you get the gist).
 
Fluorescent. Orange. The only two words capable of describing Model's Own Beach Party Nail Varnish (full review). This matt, long wearing polish has been perfect for the summer months and Model's Own is definitely a brand I'll be buying from again.
 
 
'It wouldn't be summer without a salt spray' is a club I recently joined when trying out Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray* (full review). This again gives my hair some much needed volume and has been an absolute essential!
 
Moving swiftly on to none other than the Soap and Glory Righteous Butter. On my quest to try every single product S&G has to offer, I seem to have neglected the old favourites. This scent will never get old and the moisture benefits are far beyond any other moisturiser I've tried. My heart lies with Soap and Glory, till death do us part!
 
Finally on to some makeup picks for the month (primer and polish don't count). Natural Collection's Blushed Cheeks in Peach Melba is a bit of a cult product in the blogging world and it's easy to know why. £1.99 is by far the cheapest blusher I own and the pigmentation definitely packs a punch! Topshop's Lip Tint in Jewel has also been a fave. Yes it looks like some weird orange jelly but it actually transpires as a pH reactive pink-y, sheer colour! The wearability isn't fantastic but the product feels comfortable, like a balm, on the lips and isn't something I would hesitate to recommend!
 
What are your August favourites?

  4. The Topshop lip tint looks really interesting! And I love the natural collection blushes, sadly though I dropped one of mine on the floor so it smashed to bits but its still fairly usable haha x
