Michaela Sheen: August favourites

August favourites

This month iv had quite a few faves some that iv loved for a wile and some that are recent loves.

Hourglass ambient lighting powder

I have diffused light and also the palette I use this one the most as I wouldn't use the palette for everyday use that's why I chose this one for my favourites but the palette is handy for traveling and for if your not sure wich powder to chose as it has 3 of the powders and 1 of them being a limited edition shade

This is the powder swatched and then if I blend it out it disappears into the skin. I only use this for under my eyes, top of cheeks, down the centre of my nose and a little in my forehead because for me it kind of brightens those areas so if I put it on the rest of my face it kind if washes me out and makes them areas look lighter so If I wanted to use 1 if the powders there I would use my palette and use dim light or radiant light as they're darker than diffused.

Charlotte tilbury filmstar bronze and glow

This is probably my favourite makeup product because the bronzer suits every one and the highlighter is gorgeous my favourite part of the palette, I also love the packaging.

Topshop bronzer

I have 2 swatched. Left mohawk and right sandcastle

I use mohawk the most because it's darker so use it to contour and I sometimes use sandcastle to bronze upy fave if I'm not using the filmstar bronze and glow bronzer.

Illamasqua lover & Nars torrid

I use lover in the day and torrid if I'm going out because you can't see in the picture but torrid had shimmer in it but it doesn't really show up that much on the skin, but illamasqua lover is completely matt so great for every day. I haven't had torrid the whole of august think iv only had it for just over a week but I do love it so I had to include it.

Inlight organic daily face oil & loreal skin perfection correcting day cream

Iv had the inlight organic face oil for a wile but I only recently starting using it again.

I went prestatyn in May and I used it then and a few weeks before I went i used it along with a different moisturiser and my skin was looking it's best then when I came home I couldn't find it so stopped using it then kind of forgot about it but my complexion started looking dull so I started using it again now and iv been loving it. Loreal skin perfection correcting day cream I love the packaging and it feels nice when I use it I also have the serum to match but I don't really feel like it does much for me so I didn't include that in my favourites but I do still use it.

Loreal miss manga mega volume dark angel mascara

When I first got this I wasn't sure I liked it because it seemed quite liquidy but I used it anyway because my other loreal mascara had run out, but now iv started loving it because it's not as liquidy anymore so it works perfect and it's quite similar to my beloved lancome hypnose star mascara that I loved

The only difference in the brush is the loreal one is a little more round than the lancome but it's a great cheaper alternative to the lancome one.

Mac studio sculpt foundation

This was an easy favourite I love how it looks dewy but doesn't feel wet like some other dewy foundations so I don't need to set it with a powder although I still do, it has SPF so not great for flash photography but good for the skin if your out in the sun. A little goes a long way, it's medium coverage but buildable so it could deffinately be full coverage but I tend to just use around this amount and it would do my whole fave because it blends really well with the brush I use.

No7 precision lip pencil nude & mac kinda sexy lipstick

Iv been loving using these together the no7 lip pencil is amazing and isn't too obvious and lasts ages on the lips aswel.

Mac kinda sexy is my new faveac lipstick it's like a warm nude for if you don't like nudes that are too pale (the pic isn't doing it justice) and it is a matte finish wich I love.

Zoeva 102/silk finish brush & real techniques blush brush

I love the zoeva 102 for foundation it's replaced my real techniques buffing brush. Real techniques blush brush I use it for powder, blush and bronzer I should probably buy another so I'm not having to use the same one for everything but it worked and love it so much, I wish there was a slightly smaller one so it would be better for contouring, I have the contour brush but it's too dense so ends up rubbing the product off, I like how this one is fluffy, iv ordered the real techniques setting brush it looks the same as the blush brush but smaller , I think it will be too small for contouring for me but I thought if give it a try anyway so cz I love the blush brush so much and if not I will use it for setting powder under my eyes.

Victor & Rolf flower bomb

I love this perfume I used to smell it every time I'd go into debenhams. Great long lasting perfume and smells amazing.

Garnier ultimate blends the silky smoother

These smell amazing it's like hair perfume and make my hair feel soft aswel I'm on my second bottle of conditioner now aswel because I use up conditioner quicker than shampoo, even if you don't buy these you should at least smell them and they do other scents aswel and for different hair types but this set is my fave. I also like the one for damaged hair aswel makes my hair softer but doesn't smell as nice.

Soap & glory butter yourself moisture lotion

I love these because it's as moisturising as a body butter but sinks in as quick as a lotion so the best of both worlds. The scent is nice aswel although next time I think I'm gna buy the righteous butter version of this.
