I cannot believe September is already over and that it's only 11 week away until Christmas, time as literally flown by. I've been loving quite a lot this month and I've been enjoying wearing darker color more fitting for the Autumn.
The Good
Creme de La Mer - I know Nivea Creme supposed to be similar and they do both moisturise really well but the La Mer version as the added benefit of making my skin look radiant and fades acne scars.
Revlon Colorstay in Buff - The best drugstore foundation I've ever tried, similar to MAC Studio Fix Fluid but better cause it doesn't break me out and as a nicer smell.
MAC Eye Shadows in Satin Taupe and Shroom - When I'm pushed for time I'll use Satin Taupe all over the lid and Shroom as an highlight, it's simple but effective and the look I get the most compliments on.
L'Oreal Lash Serum - I've only been using this for just over a week and I feel my lashes are looking a little fuller, might just be my imagination tough.
Urban Decay Eye Lash Primer Potion - Hands Down the best lash primer I've ever used, it makes my lashes look longer and fuller and it doesn't dry them out.
L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black - I wish I had discovered this sooner, this combined with the above lash primer gives the most amazing false lash effect.
Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Katie - I'm surprised how much I love this, it's a very soft pale pink and it gives me the perfect flush of color on the cheeks.
By Terry Baume De Rose - When I originally bought this I thought it was nice but too expensive however I've found myself using this over any other lip treatment and I will be re-purchasing the second it runs out.
Illamasqua Lipstick in Avenge - This is part of the new Dystopia collection and it's the brightest neon pink in existence, I absolutely adore it.
Revlon Super lustrous Lipstick in Cherries in the Snow - Fabulous pink based red that's very wearable and the lasting power is better than MAC.
Illamasqua Sheer Lipgloss in Rouse - I've been reaching for this non stop, it's perfect on it own for a sheer pink tint but it also looks amazing over pink and red lipstick.
MAC Cremesheen Glass in Partial To Pink & Petite Indulgance - I hated these glosses when they first came out but for some reason I love them now, they are light and not sticky and feel really moisturising on the lips.
Nails Inc The Hills Collection in Rodeo Drive - The most gorgeous dark teal shade that I've worn non stop for the past couple of weeks.
The Bad
Urban Decay Primer Potion - Going back to UDPP as made me realise I much prefer Too Faced Shadow Insurance as it makes eye shadow go on a lot smoother. UDPP is so drying and it makes any color you put on top of it dull and flat.
Facial Cleanser - I've got a few on the go at the moment but I'm finding them all to harsh and drying.

Haul Time!
I'm supposed to be doing project 10 pan however because I know I'll be picking some stuff up from MAC Style Black I'm not taking it very seriously.
I promise once Thursday is over I'm putting myself on a make-up no-buy for the whole month, in addition to what I got today I waiting on a Body Shop and a Rouge Bunny Rouge order but that will be it.
Lush Big Shampoo - I've had this before and I liked the volume and shine it gave my hair.
Lush Vanilla In The Mist Soap - smells like a vanilla latte.
Lush Jumping Juniper Shampoo Bar - I thought I'd give this one a try over my usual New Shampoo Bar.
Lush Celestial Moisturiser Sample - my face as been terribly dry and irritated so I'm gonna try this and see what it does for me.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist - to keep in my bag as a quick burst of moisture during the day.
The Body Shop Strawberry and Cocoa Butter Body Butters - I like the little mini one as they are good for keeping in my bag (and because I never finish a large pot) and they are currently on buy one get one half price.
The Body Shop samples of Love Etc... perfume and the Aloe day and night creams.
Stocked up on a few essentials (okay I could have done without them) while Boots still as their 3for2 offer.

L'Oreal Double Extension Renewal Serum Mascara
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo, conditioner and mask.
Maybelline Color Sensational in Coral Pop.
Maybelline Superstay 18 Hour Wear in #425 Power Peach.

By Terry Palette in Lame Emerald - beautiful palette but expensive.
EOS Organic Lip Sphere in Honeysuckle/Honey Dew - 100% natural and 95% organic, I'm impressed.
NARS Douceurs de Paris Palette - absolutely gorgeous and all of the colors are very wearable.
NARS Mekong Shadow Single - I've wanted this since I first saw it but have been forgetting to pick it up when I've been at a counter.
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Gobi, they originally matched with the shade Mont Blanc but it was to pink this one is yellow and matches me perfect.

August The Good and The Bad
I can't belive it's the end of August and summer is over even though the UK hasn't really had any good weather, before you know it Christmas will be here.
On the plus side all of the new Autumn/Winter makeup collections are being released and I'm excited for that.
The Good
MAC Cleanse Off oil, as been my favourite cleanser for the past few months and I'm almost out and looking for a replacement.
The Body Shop Seaweed Deep Clensing Facial Wash, only recently started using this but I'm loving it so far.
Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation, my new HG foundation, I want to try the cream version next.
MAC Eyeshadow in Blanc Type, Modest Tone, Dark Edge and Satin Taupe, I've been doing a lot of neutrals lately and these fit the bill perfectly.
Illamasqua Bronzing Duo in Glinth/Write, I've been loving this but it will probably get retired now were going into autumn as I generally don't use bronze shades when it gets colder.
Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Rude, I've worn this pretty much every day since I got it and I adore it.
Illamasqua Lipstick in Sonnet and Maneater, I love the texture and lastability of Illamasqua lipsticks and these two colors are fab.
Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in #112 Ambre Rose, this is my dupe for MAC Color Crafted lipstick.
MAC Mattene Lipstick in Kirsch, I've been wearing it dabbed on and mixed with a balm, it's very dark but perfect for autumn.
By Terry Baume De Rose, expensive but so moisturising and it give a pretty tint of color.
Barry M Nail Paint in Pink Flamingo, I've been wearing this every chance I get, it's the perfect pinky coral.
Boots Build Up Removal Shampoo, I've been suffering from awful product build up and my hair is lank and dull, one wash with this shampoo and my hair looks and feels healty again.
Marc Jacobs Lola Perfume, this is my new scent, it's sweet and heavy and the bottle alone is reason enough for me to get it.
The Bad
None, there's nothing this month that as dissapointed me enough to put it in this section.

By Terry Baume De Rose Review
I bought this after reading about it on lollipop26's blog, she gave it the most glowing review and said it was an absolute favourite of hers.
I'm easily persuaded so I spent the £30.34 to get me my own pot.
I've been using it for about a month now and while I like the product and will use it all up I don't think it's a must have but more of a nice luxury.
First of all I love the smell, it a fairly strong sweet rose scent but it's not to overpowering so if your not a fan of floral or you are scent-sensitive you may want to give this a miss.
The color is also gorgeous, a light baby pink but when applied to the lips it as this cool violet iridescence that makes lips look plumper and the pigmentation more even.
Texture is light and not greasy and it really does moisturise well, if I apply this before bedtime I find by morning my lips are nicely prepped for lipstick however I tend to use this more on it's own, as a lipgloss in place of lipstick or under matte lipsticks to give a little slip.
The only negative thing I can say about this product is the packaging, it glass so it's easily breakable and the lid on mine is coming apart, which is not impressive considering how expensive this product is.
If you have a spare £31 lying about this is a nice balm to have however it's not essential, I love my The Body Shop Yes Yes Yes Tantalising lip Butter just as much and it's only £5 and all the profits go to charity.
