September and (basically all time) favourites

This is a quite late September favourites so I 100% apologise for this delay, but if you are curious as to what my favourites are last month then have a little read here.

From basically all this summer, I have been in love with these lipsticks/lip creams. As you can tell from my previous blogposts, the NYX lip creams have made it into my faves (because they are amazing). 

From the left: NYX lip cream in Copenhagen (a beautiful look for a special occasion or even just to make you look a bit more fancy!), NYX lip cream in Cannes, Rimmel London Kate Moss 107 lipstick, Bourjois Paris in Praline and Topshop LIPS in Love Struck.

These are all fairly affordable drugstore lipsticks so treat yourself because you need it!

NYX Cannes and NYX Copenhagen

Lets talk about.. face makeup! I never really ever wear makeup on my face like bronzers, contouring and all that jazz. This was mainly because I never knew how to 'make up'?? (Does that make sense?) haha. However, I have to give it to one of my friends who is a makeup fanatic and I was curious. The two sleek palettes (the bigger one) is the highlighter kit which gives a great glowy effect (i look so shiny!) and the smaller palette is the contouring and highlight in the shade light. The Bourjois Paris limited edition bronzer smells AMAZING! I just want to eat it (but please don't!). They all have a nice pigment and are brands I trust with my face. They are all really affordable and you can find these at your local drugstore (like Boots and Superdrug). Make up, you have converted me. :)

I hope you enjoyed this drugstore favourites and I hope you had an amazing weekend, whether it is studying or just chillaxing (I'm jealous). :)

Review: NYX lip-creams

Dear fellow bloggers, 

Summer is finally out! Wow, I have finally completed my a levels (A2s this year) and it has been a crazy. I have learnt so many lessons and I have become a stronger person. I do again apologise for my absence, I felt  there was nothing blog-worthy of writing because I was cooped up in books and pink highlighters. Nevertheless, I will continue with this little review.

Recently, I have purchased two lip creams - NYX 'Copenhagen' and 'Cannes' and I must say, once I ordered them, I fell in love. I honestly could not get enough of such beautiful colours and I'm sure you will agree. It feels like you're applying lipgloss at first but then its a matte colour. However, what I find is that you would have to touch it up a few times, it isn't as long-lasting as I hoped it would be but still retains a beautiful touch and look. 

COPENHAGEN

The Copenhagen lip cream reminds me of the autumnal and maybe even the winter season and I can definitely imagine this with a nice warm jumper. Alternatively, this could be suited for a night out- perhaps clubbing or having a nice get together with your friends. The berry colour really appealed to me and I don't really have these berry colours in my makeup collection at all. No regrets made with this purchase!

CANNES

This BEAUTIFUL nude was the one that really stood out for me. I honestly love the colour and everything about it. It was the fact I could wear it anywhere- on any occasion- picnics, parties, bbqs, a casual day, chilling with your friends, lover, going out, staying at home etc. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COLOUR I CAN'T DEAL. I believe Cannes is one of the popular lip-creams out of the NYX collection and I was so tempted to purchase other lip-creams and explore other NYX products but I felt guilty for my bank account. Damn. One day when I become Queen maybe, joke ( not really :( )

Thank you for reading this post and my review on these two lip creams I purchased. I hope you have a LOVELY evening or day and make this summer the best it can be!
