Monthly Favourites - August

FIRST POST BACK! And what better way to kick it off than with my monthly favourites from August. I am doing it a little differently, so rather than just listing every single thing I've loved from the month, I've picked a few categories and I'm just going to say my favourite item from that category. Basically. 

SO let's get started!

My  favourite lipstick... 
Hands down, the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick in the shade 12 Beau Brun. I bought this a few years ago and I loved it but eventually I ended up just putting it to one side and forgetting about it and about 3 weeks ago, I re-discovered it and I'm so happy I've found it again. It is an unbelievable shade, it's such a pretty pinky/red which I find goes so well with most of the make up looks I wear. The formula is so good, it's not drying at all. It honestly feels like I have no lipstick on when I wear it. Also, I wanted to mention the fact that it lasts so well when I'm eating, it is unbelievable. Very happy with this lipstick. 



My favourite palette...
I'm really loving the Sleek Makeup i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette in Au Naturel 601. I absolutely love this palette, it has such a gorgeous eyeshadows. There are good combination of matte and shimmer shadows and a good range of  colours. All of the colours are so pigmented and are extremely easy to blend. It is such an affordable price, especially for the quality of the palette. 

My favourite film...
One of the best films I've seen for a while has definitely got to be Dunkirk directed by Christopher Nolan. It is such a beautiful film and the cast is absolutely insane. It is so different from your usual war film, it is absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to watch it again, I'd definitely recommend watching it if you haven't already. 

My favourite TV show...
Friends. I loved this show throughout August, I've re-watched so many episodes. I'd never actually watched it before this year, but it is absolutely hilarious. And Jennifer Aniston is just the ultimate girl crush isn't she. 

My favourite place to eat...
Throughout August my favourite place was definitely a little pub near me called the Pen-Y-Bont Farm, it is not a chain restaurant, it's just a one off in the nearest town to me. They do the most incredible food, if you ever pass it, honestly give it a go. 

My favourite thing I bought...
Definitely the No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream in Fair and I have the one in Normal/Oily skin. I bought this to go on my holibobs instead of a foundation. I've always been a bit skeptical of the thought of a BB cream as I've always thought the coverage wouldn't be what I'd want but this one has such a good coverage (It is classed as light/medium) but it still super light.  It also has SPF 15 and UVA Ultra. The range of shades isn't fantastic but that is the only downfall of this for me. 




My favourite item of clothing...
Throughut August, I have loved my ripped denim jeans. I actually bought these a few years ago and ripped them myself. (I did a post ripping your own jeans which you can read HERE.) I completely fell out of love with these for ages but I picked them back up again in August and I absolutely adore them. 

Well that's it for my monthly favourites! I've had so much fun writing for my blog again, it feels so good to be back! Also let me know what you think about the layout of the monthly favourites.
