Fall Makeup and Fragrance

Hello Lovelies!

Can you really believe that it's September already? It'll be Christmas before we know it!

I thought I'd share with you some new favourites from August that are perfect for fall! August seems so long ago now!!!!

NARS Kabuki Ita Brush

I had been so desperate for this brush, but I suppose I could never justify the large price tag. But then the shopaholic inside me obviously took over and before I could blink I was walking out of Sephora with a beautiful new brush. I am so glad I bought this Kabuki brush. It honestly is amazing and so easy to use, perfect for that sculpted look. For contouring it's so great because it doesn't create a muddy look like some contouring brushes do. It's soft and seems to pick up the right amount of product each time. It really is worth every penny!

2. Nails Inc Hyde Park Court Gel Effect Nail Polish

If you've read this previous post of mine, you'll know how much I'm loving khaki at the moment! This is still ongoing and as it's time for fall, I decided to add a lovely khaki colour to my fall nail polish collection. This is the Nails Inc Hyde Park Court Gel effect nail polish.
A lovely khaki colour which is perfect for AW15. It looks like it'll be khaki overload for me this fall!


3. Chanel CHANCE EAU VIVE

I've always been a lover of the Chanel CHANCE perfumes, so when I was shopping in Duty Free in London I decided to treat myself. They had a weird bowling game competition where you could win something from Chanel if you managed to get the right combination. Unfortunately I didn't win, but I was already going to buy this perfume anyway (So that's basically a win anyway!!!) This is the Chanel CHANCE EAU VIVE perfume, which is the new baby in the CHANCE family. It's pink and has floral, jasmine, orange and grapefruit notes. It is probably more floral and woody than I'm used to but I absolutely love it. Chanel perfumes are always so long lasting on your skin, which is so perfect when you're obsessed with the scent. 

What have you been loving and can't wait to use in Fall?

NARS Audacious Mascara

NARS Audacious Mascara

Hello Lovelies!

So I got extremely excited when I saw that NARS had a new mascara out! NARS is a brand which I find to be consistent in every makeup product I have. I'm always impressed by their products so couldn't wait to try the new NARS Audacious Mascara. It's meant to separate your lashes, lengthen them and add that volume by amplifying them. All in all, a mascara which can do everything.
It's meant to grip to your lashes from root to finish in order to achieve this.

Overall I love this mascara already. My lashes are pretty long and I always have trouble trying to find mascaras which don't clump or go really hard on my lashes. This one doesn't do that, the formula isn't drying on your lashes at all. I find that this audacious mascara really is great at fanning the lashes out. This is the look which I absolutely love from a mascara. As for volume, I find it does boost them slightly but I wouldn't say the amplifying aspect is as great as the lengthening part from this particular mascara.

However, I think it makes your lashes look pretty natural and the colour suits my lashes perfectly as some mascaras can look a bit too black.

It doesn't smudge and it can be removed well by a good eye makeup remover.

If you get a chance to try this mascara, I certainly recommend it. NARS hasn't let me down again!

What's your favourite mascara at the moment?

NARS Adelaide Illuminator

Hello!

As it's Monday I thought I'd start the week off with a bit of shimmer! Don't worry there are no glitter balls involved but there is a super pretty NARS illuminator in the mix.
I love wearing illuminators I find they always make me feel more alive and leave me with that natural beautiful glow. The hardest thing is deciding which illuminator to go for. It's definitely a difficult decision with so many pretty ones to chose from.

One of my favourite illuminators is the NARS Adelaide illuminator. As you can see it's pretty well loved. But can you blame me? It's such a beautiful shade, a pink highlighter with the most gorgeous shimmery and glittery effect. A little goes along way with this product.

I love the shimmery sheen it leaves on my skin, it's definitely great for summer or a night out! As it's probably more glitter heavy than other illuminators out there, it may not be to everyone's taste. However with summer around the corner, the radiant lift it gives to my skin helps me get through the week, and certainly makes me look alive at those times when I can barely function! 

Have you got this illuminator or have a favourite illuminator?

Blush Crush

Today is all about my blush crush NARS Sin!
I've always been an avid fan of NARS blushes, especially NARS Orgasm, but as it was sadly running to an end I thought why not mix it up a bit.

As they do say variety is the spice of life!
So meet my new bambino NARS Sin. It's definitely one of my sins. At first I thought it might be a bit too dark for me as I've been used to wearing more pinkier tones and well it is winter and I don't want my pale face to get swamped! But from the moment I put this on, I'd found a new blush love!

Looking at it in its case it actually appears quite a dark berry tone but when you apply it, the shimmering gold glitter really brightens it and it leaves a really nice shade which isn't all that dark. It's purple perfection! I use this along with my faithful NARS Laguna and just like NARS Orgasm it matches really well, giving that natural healthy glow look.

So I highly recommend this blush and if you fancy a change, I say go for it! Because you might just find a new sin like me!

What are your go to blush crushes? I hope you get as excited about them as me!
