5 favourites – September

Posted on by

September was a really tough month. I was ill in the beginning of the month, and work has been and still is very busy. And the fact that we still have to deal with Covid19 all the time doesn’t makes things easier; on the contrary it makes it a lot harder to go about your daily life. I’ll soon have a week off which I’m very much looking forward to; I really need a break. But it’s not all bad; the fact that December is only two months away now gets me in a better mood. I’ve also discovered some new favourites this month, so let’s talk about those.

Wide leg jeans: I’ve loved wearing these wide leg high waist jeans from H&M lately. They’re so comfortable and has a bit of a ’70s vibe to them, which I obviously love.

Rainbow striped Converse sneakers: Apparently, I’ve been really into comfortable clothes this month; oversized clothes and sneakers. I haven’t had a pair of Converse All Stars in quite a while, but this rainbow striped version stole my heart, and I’ve loved wearing them.

Huda Beauty Mercury Retrograde eyeshadow palette: This palette is simply stunning. I really enjoy the Huda Beauty eyeshadows and the shades in this palette are so beautiful, and I’ve loved every look I’ve created with it so far.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Magic Star setting powder (shade: Fair): I haven’t even hauled this yet, but I’ve used is so much that I had to feature it in this post. I wasn’t into loose powders until I gave the RCMA No-Color powder another go, and now I love this one too. I think I love this one even more. It keeps you make up in place all day, and it looks great on the skin.

The Incredibles 2 (film): This film stole a spot on my 5 favourites list just last night. I can’t believe it took me so long to watch this, but it was worth the wait. I really like the first film, but I might like the second one even better. That doesn’t happen with Disney sequels very often.

MAC summer sale + Teyana Taylor lipsticks

I picked up a few things in the MAC summer sale, and I thought I would share them with you. I picked up two of the Fix+ Vibes; Balance and Passion. I also picked two brushes; I decided to get the beautiful 494SES precision blush brush from the Masterpiece Mosaic collection and also the 228S mini shader brush. I love the Strobe Face Glaze from the Bronzing collection, so I purchased a back up of the shade Let’s Make Waves. Lastly, I got three lipsticks:

See Sheer (lustre) from the Petal Power collection,

Ambersand (matte) from the Masterpiece Mosaic collection,

and Men Love Mystery (matte).

Recently, I also purchased two of the lipsticks from the Teyana Taylor collection (these were not on sale). I got the shades Junie Bee (frost) and A Rose In Harlem (matte). I bought these two lipsticks on Asos.
