August Favourites

It's the end of August already and summer is pretty much over now. Where has the time gone? In a couple of weeks I'll be back at uni and counting down the days until next summer! Anyway, I've got a selection of my favourite summer products to share with you.

When I went to Barcelona earlier in the month one of the top things on my to-do list was to visit a Sephora (priorities right!?). I made such a big deal about going to one that I wasn't leaving empty-handed, so I picked up the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper. I had heard so many good reviews about this eyeliner but never thought about buying it myself - and I'm so glad that I did buy it. This eyeliner has a very thin tip for precision, however, you can build on it if you want a thicker line. Usually, I find that eyeliners smudge onto my eyelids but this one stays put and is very long-lasting.

Something else I enjoyed whilst in Barcelona was using my Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera. I picked up a pack of the Colour Close-up Lens which clip on to the front of the camera and give warmer or cooler tones to the photos. I love using this camera because I can decorate my room with the photos rather than having them stored on my phone.

Whilst I was in Boots the other day I bought a couple of products from Soap & Glory. Heel Genius is a foot cream that I've been using for years and I love it; I apply it a couple of times a week and then put a pair of socks on to let in soak in. The other product I picked up was the Smoothie Star Breakfast Scrub, which contains oats, shea butter, and sugar. I had never tried this scrub before but I'd seen lots of good reviews on it. This smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling so smooth.

Finally, I have been reading Dream A Little Dream by Giovanna Fletcher. I've never read any of Giovanna's books before but they all have amazing reviews so I thought I'd try one of them. The book is about a woman who dreams of a handsome stranger and then he appears in real life. I'm only a couple of chapters in at the moment but I can't wait to carry on reading it!

Have you tried any of these products before? What have you been using throughout August? Also, I'm planning on doing a university advice post next week so if you have any questions then please let me know.
