Hey guys!
With summer is officially over and school/college is starting back up again. Although I tried to have as many makeup free days in August as possible, when I did wear it, I found myself reaching for products I hadn't really used before.
I also started using my planner a lot more and some of the stickers I have bought are featured in this month's favourites.
Eyeshadow Favourites
These five shades have made up my staple eye look for August.
The top left shade is from a No7 eye trio I got at Christmas and I have really only begun to wear it now. It is the perfect transition colour and the pigmentation is pretty good.
Beside the No7 shade is a gorgeous BarryM Dazzle Dust in 39 (Tan). I have been using a few pigments this month and was surprised with the colour payoff of BarryM's Dazzle Dust. It lasts all day and barely creases! I will definitely be adding it to my travel case from now on.
Dazzle Dust 39 is available from Boots for €6.99
Below the BarryM Dazzle Dust is a gorgeous Fuschia Makeup eyeshadow. I have this eyeshadow, Nu Bronze, as part of the Dramatise palette but it can be bought separately. Fuschia's eyeshadows never disappoint and I love the bronze shade with specs of gold, it is the perfect shade for an autumn smokey eye.
Nu Bronze is available from Fuschia for €5.50
The bottom eyeshadow is from The Makeup Store. I bought their Microshadow in Diva the last time I was in London and it is the perfect maroon shade for blending into a brown smokey eye. There is a hint of shimmer in the shadow and it lasts all day without creasing!
Above and slightly to the left of the Makeup Store eyeshadow is a Makeup Revolution pigment. Unfotunately I haven't seen their pigments in stores recently and think they may have been discontinued. The pigment in the shade Etiquette is a cool tone brown with a hint of shimmer in it. Perfect for an outer corner blending shade.
Blush Favourites
The top blusher is Nars Multiple Orgasm multiuse stick. It can be used as a highlight, blush, lip colour or eyeshadow. I've been using it as highlight for the past few weeks and I love it! It catches the light and compliments my tan beautifully.
Nars Multiple Orgasm is available from Nars for €41.
The middle blusher is one that surprised me. I ordered it from ShopMissA a few months ago without having any expectations. It is Kleancolor's American Chick Baked Blusher in Spring Blossom. I had seen other bloggers' reviews of the blush and decided to try it out for myself, it only cost $1 after all. The pigmentation is fantastic and the blusher adds the perfect pop of colour to a simple, everyday makeup look.
Kleancolor's Baked Blush is available from ShopMissA for $1.
Who doesn't love rose gold? Nars' Orgasm collection have become a firm favourite this month. I've been using their infamous Orgasm blush as a blush and on my eyes this month and I have to say, it is beautiful. I will definitely be repurchasing this blush after I run out.
Nars Orgasm Blush is available from Nars for €30.
Planner Favourites
I ordered some planner stickers off Etsy this month and absolutely love these stickers from TheCoffeeMonsterzCo. The left page is full of exam and study stickers that will help me plan my study schedule. The instagram page is full of super cute pastel stickers that will keep me up to date with my instagram schedule! And finally, the pamper sesh page. How adorable is the face mask sticker!
You can get hand drawn stickers from TheCoffeeMonsterzCo here.
Okay so I'm not that addicted to Frapps that I need a whole page of stickers dedicated to the delicious treats but I couldn't help myself! Sponsored By Coffee have so many kits and cute individual pages and I will definitely be using these for coffee dates with my girls!

Planning Roses is the last store I loved this month. I've already used a couple of these stickers but I'm that addicted to coffee that I need to keep track of how many cups a day I have. Planning Roses is such a cute shop that sells kits and individual sheets for planners.

There you have it! My August favourites.
