August Favourites 2017



END OF THE MONTH, again. Tomorrow is AJ's birthday, so I really love August, but this month I have been loving so much! AJ's birthday isn't included here, because it hasn't happened yet - but of course he is a favourite - he always is! :)

*sshhhhh* I know. Everyone hates it. Post soon about how I have been using it and why I like it! :)

I really have been loving this, so so much. The added bottom lash wand is just so EXTRA, I love it. They really do give such a beautiful finish to your lashes :) 

My new handbag staple, I love this for getting rid of my oil and covering up during the day - this is a product that I cannot remember life without it. 

I am at that MAC counter weekly at a minimum swatching lipsticks - and not once did I ever pick up peach stock. I can promise you now if I had I would of bought it - because it is so pretty! Thank you for the recommendation Fraser!

*sigh* that moment when you have almost finished a sample then want to cry because you really love it but cannot afford to spend £40-£100 on stinky water. But it is such nice stinky water *cries* 



This is such a neutral shade and I have been loving it - simply because it doesn't matter when it chips off - because you can't see it.

If you don't know about the yellow jacket yet - you need to follow me on Instagram. I LOVE it. It's so bootyful.

8. 40-150mm Olympus M.Zuiko Lens £159.99 (RRP: £309)
I was SO skint when I bought this, I really didn't need it - but I really wanted it and it was such a good price. So glad I bought it now the pictures are SO stunning. I'm still undecided if I want to stick with my pancake just now though, so if my photos look different over the next little whole that is why! (not for this post though, bulk photos before it arrived) 


9. Blair Drummond Safari Park
I had forgotten how good it was here, so so good! We had such a good day with all the animals, the Giraffes were incredible, if you are ever in Scotland - it is worth a trip. 

10. TV: Game of Thrones
*screams* OMG. I say no more.

What have you been loving this month? Let me know in the comments below! :)

  6. Game of Thrones must be my fave tv-show ever (I also love Friends and Sex and the city) and I cannot believe we have to wait 2 more years for the final season, I will probably start re-watching all episodes from the beginning, I will miss it.

  21. Game of Thrones was so good, I honestly don't think I could handle it if the last season was delayed until 2019! interested to hear your thoughts on the subculture palette since you seem to be loving it so much more than other bloggers and youtubers - very intrigued!

  32. I can't wait for your ABH post as the palette looks beautiful and I was so ready to buy it until I saw all the awful YouTube tutorials. It's a bit pricey so I chickened out!
