Can you believe summer is over? More importantly, can you believe we actually saw some pretty nice weather for consecutive days. A miracle in itself. As we come into September, and in my mind officially autumn, i thought id share some of my August/Summer favourites.
Hair Care: I took the plunge in the month of August and purchased some Macadamia products, boy am I glad I did. The No Tangle has been a real life saver, when rushing around getting for work ready after a 6.30am bootcamp! As has the Michael Mercier Wet Brush. I was a tangle teezer lover, until i get dropping the thing and found it more and more awkward to use with wet hair and inevitable hands as there is no handle. The wet brush eases all those worries, and is a doddle to run through my hair. Combined with the Macadamia No Tangle…ooo bliss!
Body: this is not just an august favourite, but a Summer one, Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Body Butter. Now I know I mentioned it had been sunny for consecutive days, but probably not enough to use an after sun almost every day, well I'd say you were wrong! I don't think this needs to be resigned to only after sun, it smells to delicious and summery to only use on the odd occassion. It has helped prevent me from peeling for sure, but it has also helped my skin stay lovely and hydrated through these sunny days. I will miss using this, and already can't wait for next summer where I can crack it out again
Make Up: I have a few make up favourites (surprise, surprise). Let's start with nails, and of course Essie. Cute as a button has been a great sumer colour, its fresh, compliments a tan and is a versatile colour. I'm sure ill still sneak it in over the autumn, how could I not? The next will be no surprise to those who read my blog…Dior Rose Diamond. wow wow wow! I still love this as much as the first time I used it, and it's one of my favourite parts of my make up routine. If you missed my whole love blog on this you can read it here. I have been applying my Dior Rose Diamond with the real techniques setting brush. It's probably not what it is suppose to be used for but it works really well for highlighting, it is small enough you can control exactly were you want to highlight and feel so soft and lushious on the face! Yet another great Real Techniques find. Lastly on the make up front is Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze. I found myself reaching for this a lot over the last few weeks, whether it to be for work or a night out. The shade is very workable and you can build up darkness for more of a smokey eye, it also blends really well with other eye shadows when I use it as a base. Not to mention last all night, maybe not 24hrs…but definitely as long as I need it to.
My whole Summer favourite has been lovely bright mornings. I have been going to a bootcamp 3 times a week which is at 6.30am and getting up at that time with the sun out and the skies being relatively bright has made it a lot easier and always started the day off on the right foot.
