Starting off with 2 shower products...
I have done my grocery shopping online and originally wanted some shower gel, but I must have made a mistake and received the Nivea in-shower body lotion! Haha :) Which turned out to be very handy, you simply apply the cream lotion onto the wet skin and rinse it off with water afterwards - that´s it. This is a huge time saver for me, especially on working week days! :) The only little down side for me at least is, that the skin on my legs is very dry and I probably need a little bit more as a lotion. Therefore I will definitively try out the Nivea in-shower body milk next time!
Then I loved the Nivea frangipani & oil shower gel it´s also one of my all time favourite products! I simply love the smell - so flowery and fresh! It just picks me up in the morning!
The Clinique moisture surge extended thirst relief has been given to me as a gift at the Clinique counter when I bought some other products. This is an extended moisturizing care that can be used as a mask i.e. for 5 / 10 minutes or even overnight. I tried this out but was a little bit disappointed because my skin didn´t react very well - it was too much! But when I recognized that I got much more dry skin under the eyes, now as autumn begins, I used it only in this area and the product turned out perfect! I see that I have less lines from dryness!
(sorry for the crappy pic, I couldn´t get a sharper one :(... )
This clear Nivea Turbo color dry in 45 sec. nail polish surprised me this month! I used it after I had removed my coloured nail polish just for caring reasons. Because usually my nails get very chippy and cranky afterwards. But whith applying this nail polish I reckoned that my nails stopped chipping which is great! They also grow so good and strong now. :)
My mostly worn and beloved eye products in August are...
the Clinique high impact mascara which I have gotten as a present at the counter. I must say it really surprised me! I am very picky when it comes to mascara, but this one has a nice brush and texture. It separates my lashes perfectly and is very dark / very black probably highly pigmented... I guess you know what I mean :) I don´t need to apply many layers. The only down side for me is that it is not waterproof and when it comes to mascara I always prefer the waterproof version due to my long lashes!
The MAC naked lunch eye shadow has also been a favourite this month. It´s a nude cream tone with some shimmer and I mainly wore it over my complete eyelid as a one colored tone.
And my new favourite eye liner is the Maybelline master precise eye liner. This has quite a thin felt pen tip and applies so easily and softly, it is not smudging at all and dries right away. I L-O-V-E it!!!
This month I have had 3 favourite lip products!
First of all I was searching for a good lip care, because my lips chipped a little bit. I do know this from changing weather into autumn or winter, but not this early in the year like end of July, beginning of August. So I went to the pharmacy and got the Bepanthol lip cream which is amazing! I am using a tiny amount morning and night and now my lips are smooth and soft again throughout the whole day. :)
In terms of lipstick I preferred the Estée Lauder secret kiss lipstick which is a sheer shimmering rose tone. I love this tone for my pale lips!
And I am still in love with the Clinique runway coral longlasting lipstick! The colour is so cool! :) Especially now as it´s turning to autumn already and it´s more grey and cloudy outside this lipstick is just the right colour flash!! :)
So these were my beauty favourites of August. Actually quite an amount of products but I was so happy about all these that I didn´t want to let one fall behind. I hope that you enjoyed this blog post and that I may have inspired you! ;)
