August Favourites

First things first; where on Earth has August gone?! I feel like I have blinked and here we are on the cusp of September, nearing Autumn and saying goodbye to another summer again, way to soon for my liking. 

My august favourites are very brief, but they have been the products I have been applying everyday I have worn make up during August and tools I have used to do so, and while the UK hasn't had the best weather this summer, with these products I have been able to achieve  bronzed and glowy skin, making it look like I have been on a tropical escape to the Caribbean!

Also, all the products are super affordable but do just as an amazing job as high street brands would do. 

Make Up Revolution Baked Bronzer Really easy to blend, buildable and has some glitter in it, I like to add this to certain areas of my face to add a bronzed glow. 

Make Up Revolution Golden Lights Highlighter Super pigmented, a white-golden shimmery shade, perfect for cheekbones as well as eye brow highlight. 

W7 Make Up and Glow Bronzing Base Easily blendable, gel based bronzer, isn't too orangey, perfect dupe for Soleil Tan De Chanel. Great for contour, all over bronzer or under foundation to even skin tone and add a bronzed base.  

Real Techniques Stippling Brush Versatile brush, love using it to apply the W7 Bronzing Base, it helps to distribute and blend the product. 

Ebay Fan Shape Make Up Brush Also in last months favourites, this brush is soft, really affordable but good quality and is the perfect shape for applying highlighter. 

What have you been loving this month?

Brush Edit: Ebay

I'm fairly fussy when it comes to make up tools and in particular brushes. My idea was to browse ebay for some 'back up brushes' for when my Real Techniques brushes are either drying after being cleaned, or when they are in desperate need of being cleaned. I was also rather short on smaller, eye shadow brushes so when I cam across this 10 piece collection for just £4.95 (price may vary) I went ahead and bought them. Not only did the price attract me, but the different styles and shapes of the brushes that were in the collection. 

1) Precision Angled

2) Precision Flat Angled

3) Precision Flat 

4) Precision Round

 5) Precision Tapered

1) Flat Kabuki
2) Angled Kabuki
3) Flat Angled Kabuki
4) Round Kabuki
5) Tapered Kabuki 

I bought this collection from here and was really impressed with the quality of the brushes and how well each one works for different purposes. In my opinion there are a number of different brushes on ebay that are worth purchasing as they are cheap and really great quality!
