August Favorites

August favorites.

Hey guys, since today is the last day of August, I thought why not post my August favorite beauty products. For so many years I've been reading and watching other beauty bloggers do their monthly favorites, so I finally decided to do my own! And am so excited to show you which products I have fell in love with through out thsis month. Lets get started...

The first thing that I have been using a lot in this month is the black eyeliner by 'Frontcover' Cosmetic, it is a mini black kohl pencil with a smudger. This eyeliner is not sold separately as it is from one of the winter collections by Frontcover called 'Top Drawer' that are sold in Boots stores and online during Christmas season. However this collection can be bought from Ebay if you guys are interested. The eyeliner it self works brilliant, it is highly pigmented and lasts for as long as 8 hours without getting smudged or rubbed off whatsoever. The colour comes out as soft black which I thought was good if one is hoping to achieve a smokey eye with the liner, even better it has a smudger at the end! I would say the texture of the eyeliner is a bit on the down side, as its not as creamy which can make one apply this eyeliner a several times before it shows. For this reason i would give the texture of the eyeliner 8/10.

The next product is also from the Frontcover 'Top Drawer' collection which is an icy blue colour known as 'Chalk'. This eyeliner has a very creamy texture compared to the black liner from the same collection, it comes on very smooth and gives an instant sparkle to an eye as it contains silver glitter. What can be more dazzling than wearing this under your eyes to look extra glamorous? This eyeliner can also be used for highlighting the brow bone as the colour is more of a white than a blue as well as using it in the inner corner of an eye and on the lower lash line. 

I am sure you must have heard that the Bare Minerals have introduced their new eye brightener which goes by the name of 'Stroke Of Light'...If you are a Bare Minerals fan. Okay, so let me inform you why I have chosen this product. First of all, for a very long time I was on a hunt for a primer so that I could apply it on my eyelid so that my eye shadow could stay on for long. So when I tried this eye brightener not only did it work as an excellent eye brighter it was also useful for using it as an eye primer. I am very impressed with this product. The second quality that I like about this eye brightener is that, it is very helpful for hiding the eye bags if I have had less sleep. Using the shade Luminous 3, it is of a creamy beige tint base which is perfect for  completely correct my under eye bags. This product applies evenly, and stays put on for as long as 10-15 hours without creating creases on the eye. For this reason this product is one of my favorites that I have used through out the month. 

The next product to hit my August favorite list was the bronzer from No7 which I have no idea what its called as it was from the bronzer collection sold through out Christmas season. August is definitely the month where shimmery bronzers and highlighters look so heavenly on the cheeks. I would say this bronzer has it all! Its beyond perfect! It has five different colours and each one of them giving their unique sparkle and shimmer to the cheeks. It consists of three different colour highlighters as well as two different colour bronzers, brilliant right? The product applies on pretty good however there are also two negatives points about this bronzer, one of them is that it can make you look to shimmery and the other one is that it doesnt stay on for long. Other then that, I would definitely recommend this product to all the sun goddesses!

And finally the last product which made it into my August favorites list would be...GIRLS WITH ATTITUDE-GLAMOUR TO GO EYELASHES!! I absolutely love these eyelashes, for them I have completely ditched my mascaras. They look very natural on my eyelashes adding a bit of glamour to them which makes me think am some kind of supermodel, flickering my lashes! The lashes can be easily applied and are re-usable, and the best thing about them is that they feel very light on the eyes, almost like your just wearing mascara. The design is very girly and glamorous which is why they must have called it 'glamour to go'. 

So this is it guys, now that I have showed you my favorites, I would love it if you can share the products you have chosen as your August favorites in the comment box below! :) 

Revlon ColorBurst™ Lip Butter- Candy Apple

Revlon ColorBurst™ Lip Butter

Revlon lip butters are described as buttery balms with beautiful shiny colour to give you baby sift, healthy glowing lips. Through out UK they are sold for £7.99 which is a reasonable price offer for a product which includes two in one quality (balm+colour). Before they arrived in the UK, everyone in the US were on the hype about how great they were and nearly every beauty blogger had tested them out. For this reason, beauty addicts in the UK could not wait for them to arrive and when they did, they were sold out in every store, whenever I or others went looking for them. Basically, everyone went on a crazy hunt for them. 

The lip butter which I have is called 'Candy Apple', it is a bright red hue with a slight yellow tone that gives a plain glossy finish with no shimmer or glitter whatsoever. The colour that the lip butter gives to the lips depends on the colour of the lips one has, mine are more on the dark side as am an Asian (Pakistani) so it appears exactly how the colour looks on the stick however for those girls who have lighter lips, it can appear as deep coral. This red shade is very natural looking compared to other reds that can be bought. I would say it is something which can be worn at daytime without it looking too much on the lips and the finish that it gives is very effortless too which adds to the great qualities it has. 

With flash.

I would say that this shade is quite pigmented as i have not tried the others except Raspberry Pie from this range. It stays on my lips for a long time, lets say 3-4 hours without re-applying the product. For me this kind of lasting power is okay-ish as am someone who doesn't normally wear lip products which give out bright colour like this one. The colour of this product comes out quite opaque on my lips as its a very light red and gives a medium coverage which is great for those who don't fancy wearing lip products that are bright and outstanding.

Applied lightly

Applied dark

When applying the product, it comes out very creamy as it can be also used for moisturizing lip whilst giving them a bit of colour. It is very easy to apply however it is a product which one will have to re-apply to get the perfect shade they might be looking. Personally, i feel that this product is very impressive and great for those who love tinted lip balms! 

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner.

Maybelline describes its gel liner to give a 'natural or dramatic' look in a flick of an eye. It is sold in Boots for only 7.99 which i believe is an amazing price offer due to the eyeliner being able to stay on for as long as 24hours. The colour range that is sold throughout Boots is only in colour black which is quite a disappointment as it would be great if it was also sold in other colours too like purple,brown or blue.

When applying this product i believe the colour is very intense and comes on easily without having to apply it again and again which is brilliant. It gives an intense look to an eye which shows the products has some great qualities and instantly you will get complement from your fellow colleagues or friends.

Applying the gel liner can be done in two different ways due to the rush giving a fine precise line if one is looking for daytime look however it can also achieve a dramatic look. 

As far as i know most brands do not give a brush with their gel liners which i believe is annoying as then you will have to go out of your way to find a brush which will apply the gel liner well. On the other hand, Maybelline kindly enough provides its customers with a brush which is totally helpful as it very good at creating both thick and thin defined lines.

The gel of the liner is smooth and creamy which is way one will be able to achieve the look they are looking for without any difficulties. It applies on pretty fast without having to apply the product again and again to darken the liner. I believe the colour of the liner is great as it is not so light so that you will have to apply product more than once. The liquid is also not too dry or too wet which is amazing.

The lasting power of this gel liner is brilliant, it stays on for as long as one wishes for. When i go to school in the morning i always apply this on and when i come back it is still on without flaking off or getting smudged.

Considering that this gel liner is brilliant with long lasting power it is also relatively cheap and can be found anywhere such as Boots or your local pharmacy. I would recommend this gel liner to all you girls who want an eye liner which is cheap yet works as great as high end brands.
