I am awful at favourites posts! Always forget when it comes to the end of the month, which products I have been loving and then I always fear that I'll have forgotten something. Not this month, I actually remembered what I have been loving and its a real mix of beauty and fashion along with lifestyle.
This little kit from MAC is such a good deal, you get a full sized liner, lipstick and gloss for under £50. The pairing of a liner and lipstick is always a task for me but having this kit ready to buy is so handy. I have heard great things about these different shades, so when the kit finally came through the post it was very exciting! Since having it, this is all that's been on my lips - its the perfect nude combo. The liner is Spice, made very popular by Kylie Jenner it is the ideal nude/brown lip liner. On me it matches my lips perfect, better than Soar does, which is a bit more pink. Then the lipstick is Honey Love - oh my god this is such a gorgeous shade. I'm usually a Twig or Mehr person when it comes to MAC but I'm converted this is stunning. On top of this or sometimes on its own is the glass in Spice too. It adds some depth and shine to the lips instead of keeping it totally matte. I love this trio together and mixed with other lipsticks.
CND Vinylux in Steel Gaze and Nordic Lights*
If you wear nail varnish all the time or even occasionally then the CND Vinylux range is the one you must invest in. These do not budge from the nails, so long lasting and a true to colour formula. I find that the polish starts to chip, like shown in the image below, after two weeks of wear - which compared to the likes of Maybelline or BarryM is really goood! Nordic Lights is the deep purple shade that I have on most of my fingers. It has all these tiny fine glitters running through that makes it looks very cosmic and out of this world. Then we have Steel Gaze, which is chrome like silver polish that looks amazing as a contrast with the purple but also all over - it is currently on my toes! I have been loving this shades for autumn and most probably will wear them through winter too.
Oh these boots, can we just take a minute? They are so beautifulllllll! I have wanted a pair of printed/patterned boots for the longest time. I tried hunting down a leopard print pair but they all looked a bit tacky, then I spotted these on someones instagram (can't remember who) and they just had to be mine like asap. I bought them from ISawItFirst, a site that I had never heard of but they are very similar to the likes of PLT and IntheStyle, offering designer trends at low prices. I saw these one day, logged back on the site and noticed they had them reduced to £17 and then found a discount code floating so I managed to get them for £8!! The best price I have ever paid for such a beautiful and good quality pair of boots. The print is perfect to wear with both blue and black jeans, a dress or even under trousers. The heel isn't too high and they are really comfortable to wear as well, There's a zip down the back to wear them then the buckles on the side are there for design. Just so in love.
I got this a couple of months back in a goody back but never got it out up until last month. The print trend is back and very much here to stay but I am too shy to be wearing it all over, so have been buying and styling key pieces like the boots and this scarf to ease myself into it. This one is the perfect print to wear with almost anything. I've paired it with jeans and cream roll neck for a everyday look and trousers and a blouse for work. Both outfits compliment the scarf really well and the attention is on the print. rather than anything else. It isn't too in your face and I am slightly obsessed with wearing it!
A random one but hopefully a fun one! What have you been loving this month?
