My August Favourites | 2018

After some months without posting my favourites, this month here I am to share both my favourites and some monthly experiences! Next month I'll be back to University and I am already working on getting back into routines and other stuff.

"Going Going on"

August was the month I decided to finally start to watch Card Captor Sakura Clear Card with my best friend and it was a really interesting experience. I was a huge fan of Sakura when I was a really young and I've been waiting for the Summer to watch the new season. I now want to read the new manga and I am hoping that CLAMP won't be doing funny things. It was for sure one of the highlights of the month, alongside the fact that I was able to catch up with my best-friend during her vacation! 

Another series that really stood out to me in this month was Voltron Legendary Defender on Netflix!I'd seen tones of posts about it on Tumblr and I finally started to get on with it. I already watched the first season and I am in the midst of finishing the Second. I really like the animation and the plot (has anyone noticed how many Netflix series exist about Space? Or is it just me?)

The Empty Favourites 

Two of my favourites happen to be also empties. One of them already has a replacement in action, because although I really love the Pixi Glow Tonic, I'll only repurchase it by the end of year. Still, this deserves an award since it really helped my skin heal from a bad breakout (because vacations mean unhealthy choices, in this case dairy!). It deserves all the love and the spotlight. I'm also thinking about getting the Glow pads or the Rose Tonic (which seems like a perfect option for the morning time? I still need to research on that!)

On the other hand, my beloved Skin Food Freshmade Watermelon Mask was the saviour of my skin, specially with all the heatwaves going on and the breakout. I was using all kinds of clay masks and my skin can sometimes get stressed due to that. So I started to use an hydrating mask every time I would do a clay one and I cannot recommend this enough. If you happen to be too much time under the sun this mask is also amazing to help dealing with sunburns. I now turn between getting another one and either purchasing sheet masks from Innisfree or getting the Cranberry version of this mask. But I can see myself getting another pack of this for sure!

The new everyday Favourites 

Now there are also the everyday makeup favourites that need to be mentioned, specially since I haven't been doing monthly favourites in a while. A perfect example of that is my Innisfree Skinny Waterproof mascara! This mascara is so good that I ended up giving away the other I had that weren't perfect. You see, I have trouble with mascaras because I have sensitive eyes. This is the only mascara that isn't super heavy on my lashes and that I don't feel the need to rip off from eyes ASAP like before. It also does not budge for anything! I am currently thinking about getting a second Korean mascara and I might get another one from Innisfree. (But I've been researching for other mascaras from Korea like Etude House and Holika Holika, along side with Japanese options like Heroin Makeup - which is a favourite of Anna from The Anna Edit) 

Another favourite of this month is my Too Faced Neutral Eye palette ( which now has a different packaging. I won't be getting a new one until I hit pan  on this one. This is a fairly new palette to me and is still in great condition). I really love the easy going neutral shades of this palette, specially when I don't feel like doing bright or more dark makeup  like I usually do in the Autumn and Winter seasons. 

The other item I need to declare my profound love is the Benefit Coralista Blush. I mentioned it in my Coral blushes for the summer post, but he still deserves it's own post. I really love Benefit's blushes and concepts and this well...if I had to pick my first blush crush this would be the pick. I have been using it this month to compliment the warm of the season and to give that nice healthy glow. 

Another important product of the month that needs to be mentioned is my Zoeva 227 Luxe Soft Definer, which is perfect for when I just want to swipe a neutral shade on my lid and blend it with a darker matte shade and I am good to go. I really love how soft and easy to use this brush is! I have been thinking about getting a third of this kind because I really can't get enough of it! If you are looking for an eye brush that can turn your life easy, this is the brush you need to get!
