September 2015 Favourites

I have a few beauty favourites from the month of September. Many are products I got on my holiday this summer. If you want to check out my first Non-Beauty Favourites post you can find it here.

Just a little update, I won't have any posts going up next week as I have 3 papers due, a midterm and a scholarship application all within the span of 5 days. Sorry guys but I'll make it up to you when I come back on Oct 12 (which also happens to be Canadian Thanksgiving!)

Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm

I'm totally in love with this cleanser. It's really soothing on the skin. I have dry, sensitive skin and this doesn't leave my skin feeling irritated or over dried. My skin just feels really clean. I plan on doing a full review on this product coming up soon.

Urban Decay Single Eyeshadow in Sin

This is the perfect everyday eyeshadow for me. I usually wear this on it's own with just some mascara and it's a super easy, bright,  polished look.

Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow

Everyone knows how good this face sculpting kit is so it will come as no surprise when I say this is an amazing palette. The powders are so finely milled and blend out effortlessly. I was really hesitant to do any contouring because I found the bronzer shimmery but it actually looks really natural on me. I've also worn this highlight pretty much everyday this month.

Real Techniques 301 Flat Contour

In addition to my last favourite, I love using this brush to contour with. It's the perfect shape to fit right into the hollows of my cheeks, it's super soft and blends really well. Plus it's rose gold, what could be better?

Zoeva 110 Face Shape Brush

This was the one brush from the Rose Golden Luxury Set set that I never found a use for until I started using it to blend in concealer; it changed everything. This is like a mini 102 Silk Finish which I use to apply foundation. It blends in concealer so easily without leaving any streaks. It's the perfect size to fit under the eyes and around the nose. I can't believe I ever applied concealer without it.

Top 3 Series: Highlighters

I love a good highlight so I thought this would be the perfect product to start off my new series. I'll be picking out my Top 3 favourites from different product categories.

Charlotte Tilbury Bronze and Glow

The Bronzer in this palette is gorgeous but it's this highlighter that I find myself reaching for daily. This gives you a very golden glow. The powder is really finely milled so it's shimmery without being glittery. It sits right on the edge of being a natural glow and an obvious highlight.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal

This is the most natural of the highlights listed. It gives you a lit from within glow that is literally breathtaking. I like to apply it with my fingers to the tops of my cheekbones but since it's a liquid highlighter it can also be blended in with your foundation for an all over glow. I just have the small size but I'll definitely be repurchasing the larger bottle once this one runs out.

TheBalm Mary Lou Manizer

This is a popular highlighter for it's intensity and glow. I also love using this as an eyeshadow all over the lid or in my inner corners. This is a true champagne highlighter and it works really well with my fair skin. I will say this isn't a natural highlight so a light hand is needed.
