September Favourites 2014

It only seems like last week i was doing a August favourites. I can not believe we are going into October in a couple of days! Where is this year going?!

I don't have many favourites this month. The ones i do have though i really love.

Rimmel London 'Scandaleyes' - Rich Russet

Surprisingly i found this in my local Poundland! I wasn't really sure what to make of it when i first picked it up, as i hadn't tried liquid eyeshadow since i was in my teens and photographs can tell you, it was not a good look. Since this wasn't blue or pink, like my pervious teen colour selections, i decided to give it a whirl. I mean, for £1 i couldn't really go wrong.

It has a long doe-foot applicator, which i am not a total fan of, but its bearable! I generally put a bit on my eyelid and then blend it in with either a brush or my fingers.

The staying power is amazing. The product will last all day on my eyelids without budging. The product is also really pigmented and gives on such a beautiful colour.

This what what the product looks like straight off the doe-foot applicator.

This is what the product looks like once it has been blended in.

Benefit - Stay Don't Stray

I got a mini sample (see in pictures below) of Benefit's primer 'Stay Don't Stray' in an edition of Birchbox. I hadn't really used it until my much faithful primer potion by Urban Decay ran out. Since then i have been using this and loving it!

It has a small doe-foot applicator, which i like because it means you can get into the corner of the eyes. 

I have the shade that is light/medium and provides a skin tone shade. I like the idea of this because it gives your eyeshadow a nice base colour before applying your chosen eye products.

My eyeshadow has lasted really well with this primer. It generally lasts from when i wake up in the morning until i go to take my makeup off at night time. I don't know if i am completely converted away from the primer potion, but at this point in time, i am really loving it.

 If i stay

I have started reading 'If i stay' on my kindle. I have not yet finished the book, but so far i am really loving it. It is a easy read, but also quite emotional. As i haven't read the whole story yet, i can't really give my own opinion of what the book is about. So i am going to let Amazon tell it for me.

"Life can change in an instant. A cold February morning, a snowy road, and suddenly all Mia's choices are gone. Except one. As alone as she'll ever be, Mia must make the most difficult choice of all. If i stay will make you appreciate all that you have, all that you've lost - and all that you might be"

I am 70% through the book (Kindle's do a percentage through the book rather than page numbers), and i have a few theories of how its going to end but to me, there is no obvious route. Once i have finished the book, more than likely see how the movie compares.

What have you been loving for the month of September?
