August favourites

I'm not gonna bore you all with a huge paragraph about how I can't believe it's September already and 'oh my god where has the time gone?!' because I feel like I do that with every post and you must be getting bored with it - so I'm just going to get on with it.

1. Rimmel Stay Matte BB Cream - this has honestly been my saviour over the summer months. I normally struggle to find a BB Cream that doesn't make my skin look greasy by midday, but this really helps to keep my oily skin under control.

2. Navy blue dungarees - I'm thought for ages about whether to buy these in this colour or not, as I feel like they make me look like a car mechanic. But despite that I love them all the same, and are great to throw on now that the weather is cooling off.

3. Bourjois Color Boost in the shade Plum Russian - I've been wanting a darker lip colour for ages, and to keep in with the autumn trend of dark red/purple lips, I went from this one. The colour isn't too dark, it doesn't feel caked on my lips and it suits my skin tone really well.

4. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - obviously when I picked up a book set during WWII I didn't expect it to be happy, but the honesty with which this story is told makes it both stunning and shocking. I've not finished reading it yet, so expect a full review when I do. But it is genuinely one of the most captivating but heartbreaking stories I've ever read.

5. Soap & Glory Heel Genius - because I've been wearing sandals and slip on shoes without socks in the summer, my heels have been getting a little bit damaged and the skin has been starting to look a little gross. My mum gave me this to help and the difference in the softness of my feet has actually been incredible (I never thought I'd get so gushy about a foot cream, but there you go).

6. Green tea - I've been watching a lot of videos by youtubers that drink green tea, so I decided to give it a try. It took me a while to get used to the taste, as I'm a big fan of just a regular builder's cup of tea, but since starting to drink it I've noticed it makes me feel so much better - a lot healthier, and it's helped clear my skin up as well which is a bonus.
