A few of my favourite things from August

By Zoe - 8/27/2018

For a "beauty blog", I have found myself writing posts on every topic except beauty. So, let's take it back to basics with an old-fashioned favourites.


Taming my Mane

As Brits, we've been incredibly lucky with the hot weather over the summer. However, the humidity has wrecked havoc with my hair, leaving it extremely dry. During August, I have been using L'Oreal Elvive's Extraordinary oil, in an attempt to revive my hair. It is a weekly mask which has boosted the moisture in my hair, and seriously improved my hair's condition.

Also from L'Oreal, I have been using No Hair-cut cream. It is a daily hair serum which smooths irritating fly-aways, and also adds moisture to your hair. I've been using this religiously throughout August, and I have found that my hair is much easier to style. It also smells amazing!


A Perfect Tan?

Unfortunately, my summer tan quickly disappeared with the sunshine. This month, I've returned to my trusty fake-bake to give my anaemic-looking skin a boost. I recently found a 200ml bottle of St Tropez Bronzing Mousse in B&M Bargains for £6.99. This product RRPs at £20, so it was a steal. The catch was that the only shade left was "dark". However, this tan left me with a healthy (but strong) tan. It applies streak-free, and it looks as natural as a fake-tan can get.

Wake Up, Make Up

This month, I ran out of my two favourite beauty products, making me realise how good they truly are! I won't say too much about the first one, as the Benefit Porefessional primer is a well-known product. I have used this primer for years, as it instantly minimises the size of large pores. It is priced at £27, but no primer compares to it.


Up next, is the Urban Decay All Nighter Concealer. This is actually the *best* concealer I have ever tried. It is a full-coverage concealer, but it does not feel caked or heavy on your face. It also lasts all day, which is perfect for me as I work long shifts. My only issue with the product, is that there is only 3ml of the product within a tube, so it does not last long!

All Natural

In June, I collaborated with Truvit Naturals on the launch of their Magnesium Oil. It is a natural, topical spray which aims to promote muscle function. This month, I up'ed my exercise intensity and I have found myself reaching for this spray throughout August, to soothe my muscle aches! You can find out more about the products HERE and look out for future collaborations with Truvit on my Instagram.

Sweet Scents

Recently, my parents jetted off to the Mediterranean and returned via the perfume isle in duty free, buying me two bottles of Lancome's La Vie Est Belle perfume. This is my favourite fragrance, as it is usually a scent I wear during the Christmas season, so it holds a lot of memories. It is a floral perfume, but it is musky and not too over-powering.


Music Monday

Since I am posting this on a dreary bank holiday Monday, I wanted to link my current music favourites. The playlist is a mix of rap, pop and everything in between.


Thank you for reading my blog post! Comment below your thoughts on these products.
