Introduction

It’s seriously insane that I am sitting here writing up my September Favourites already. This year has gone by in a flash. It’s weird to think that we are only just two months away from Christmas and the New Year, but it’s so exciting at the same time. I am loving the slight drop in temperature and the need to live in cosy knitwear and fluffy pjs. Oh, I am loving life right now. Compared to last month’s favourites(see that post here), I have accumulated a few skincare favourites. Last month was fuelled with makeup, so it’s good to see that I have a bit of variety this time. I’ve even got a new favourite fragrance too.

Victoria’s Secret Mango Temptation Review

Let’s talk about my favourite fragrance, the Victoria’s Secret Mango Temptation Fragrance Mist. I bought it with some birthday money that I had at the beginning of the year from Superdrug, but I haven’t really used it much until now. I have been spritzing it pretty much daily throughout September. It smells absolutely divine, it’s so fruity and refreshing. It’s the perfect pick-me-up in the mornings.

Colourpop Super Shock Shadow Weenie

Colourpop is a brand that is slightly new to me. I only just delved into the brand a few months ago when I made my first order(see my haul here). I have been using the Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Weenie a lot lately. It is a stunning pinky-rose gold shade with a pearlized finish. The texture is buttery soft and creamy too, with amazing pigmentation. I like to use it all over the lid with a darker crease, and boy, does it make my green eyes stand out. I don’t own any eyeshadows like this, so I would be gutted if this were to ever get discontinued. It is everything!

Oils of Heaven Organic Rosehip Face Oil Benefits

I don’t tend to change up my skincare routine a lot, as my skin is pretty difficult. I’ve had acne since my teenage years, so I am sometimes apprehensive about trying new skincare. The one product I didn’t expect to like, or even add to my daily skincare regimen, was face oils. Throughout September, I have been using the Oils of Heaven Organic Rosehip Cell-Regenerating Face Oil alternatively with other face oils, but I bloomin’ love this one. It makes my face feel so soft and smooth, like a baby’s bottom. It’s just what I needed to get my skin back in good condition when my skin was drying out. I actually talked more about this over here if you want to know more.

Best for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

Another skincare product is the Vichy Normaderm Beautifying Anti-Blemish Care. It’s a non-greasy moisturiser that is specifically made for those with blemishes, excess shine, and uneven skin texture. That is my skin type down to a tee. It makes my skin feel fresh and quenched with moisture. It’s perfect to use under makeup, especially as it’s not of a slippery texture. It sinks into the skin so quickly. 

I’m not sure that I’ve featured this in my favourites before, but the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light is perfection. It changes the look of my complexion without adding more colour, and instead delivers a soft focus effect to my face. I always seem to opt for this powder over the others. It feels much lighter on the skin too, as it’s got quite a soft texture to it, plus it doesn’t emphasise my pores. It’s super pricey for a powder, but it’s lasted me for quite a long time.
