August Favourites

It's that time again! Last month I only had 2 favourites I think but this month I've tried out a lot more products so I have a few things which I've been loving this month. 

First off is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette. If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I cannot stop using this. When I reach for an eyeshadow palette it's this, everyday. I've even hit pan on Burnt Orange and I've not even had this palette for 2 months! I love the eyeshadow colours, they blend out beautifully and they're incredibly pigmented!

My next favourite is the Lancôme Bi-Facil Non Oily Instant Cleanser Sensitive Eyes. If you read my Lancôme Haul + Free Gift post you'll know how much I loved this product from the start! And I've been using it everyday since I got it. It removes my eye makeup so easily!

I also love the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner which was feautured in my Drugstore Haul. This eyeliner combined with my MAC 210 brush makes eyeliner effortless. It's super black and super creamy and doesn't transfer. I think I will love this eyeliner for a very long time!

Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara has been my absolute go-to this month! I can layer it so much and it doesn't clump! I'm so glad I've got a spare minature of this too so I have extra when this full sized runs out.

My last favourite is a pretty strange one. It occured to me how much I say I use this brush and how much I don't talk about it. The Morphe E17 is my perfect brush for using on my lower lashline. It blends an eyeshadow quickly and seemlessly under my eyes so I don't know why I've never really declared my undying love for this! 

Let me know what you're favourites are this month in the comments below! See you soon!

Lancôme Haul + Free Gift!

Before recently I had never tried any Lancôme makeup other than a lipstick. But when I heard about their amazing gift with purchase at work I knew this was the right time to pick up some products. 

When you buy two products you get a free gift containing a full sized cleanser, full sized makeup remover, mini moisturiser and mini Hypnôse mascara. And when you buy three products you got all the above and a full sized primer too! 

I purchased a Hypnôse mascara, the new Grandiôse eyeliner and the Lancôme   blending brush. And I got five things free including three full sized products - if you ask me that's pretty amazing! 

Obviously I was dead excited to try out all my new goodies and I've made my opinions on them for sure! So here's what I think!

Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara - £23.50

I've heard good things about this mascara and it is definitely one of Lancôme's most popular products which is why it was one of my three choices. I was blown away by this mascara when I used it the day after I purchased it, you can layer this so much and it doesn't clump! I love it on my lower lashes it makes them look super long and makes my eyes look more awake!

Lancôme Grandiôse Eyeliner - £23.00

This is a new product from Lancôme which I absolutely love! The handle bends so that you can really get into the nooks and crannies of your eyes without any smudging! It dried matte and I think it's super easy to use! It's not quite beat my Maybelline Gel Liner and MAC 210 brush combination but I love this product nonetheless. 

Lancôme 17 Blending Shadow Brush - £22.00

We all love a blending brush! Blending brushes are the backbone of good eyeshadow looks - fact. I really wanted to try this as I love new brushes and this one reminded me of my MAC 224 but I think it's slightly smaller. I love using this brush, it is super soft and I like using it just after my MAC 224 to add more dimension and depth to any eyeshadow look!

Lancôme Bi-Facil Non Oily Instant Cleanser Sensitive Eyes - £21.50

This is one of the full sized products I received free with my purchase and I'm so glad I did. I've been using this to remove my eye makeup in the evening and it is truly amazing! I pop a small amount on a cotton pad, hold it on my eye for about 15 seconds and then gently sweep away the makeup and this product makes this process effortless. Because my makeup has a lot of staying power I was surprised how quickly this removed it! I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out. 

Lancôme Gel Éclat Clarifying Cleanser Pearly Foam - £23.00

This was another one of the full sized free gifts but sadly I don't like it. My only reason is that I personally don't like those cleansers which make your skin feel squeeky after washing. It gives my skin a sort of rubbery feel? And I personally don't like that. This is the only thing I don't like about the product!

Lancôme Énergie De Vie Smoothing & Glow Boosting Liquid Care 30ml - £28.00 50ml - £42.00

This was a free minature which came in the gift and HELLO?! Smoothing? Glow boosting?! Give it to me! I love products that make my skin look plump and radiant and this just does it for me! It's a liquid not a cream so it's not heavy on the skin but I've used this minature 3 nights in a row now (using my La Roche-Posay moisturiser in the morning, see my skincare post for details!) and I wake up and my skin is glowing I absolutely love this product this is another which I will be purchasing in the near future!

I also received a Hypnôse minature so you can see above for my thoughts on that!

Has anyone else took advantage of the Lancôme gift at Boots? What are your favourite Lancôme products? Let me know in the comments below! See you soon!
