Monthly Highlights ~ September

I have decided to expand the monthly Fave Five posts, not only to include products I have liked in the last month, but things that didn't work out, selective purchases and everything else in between. I suppose it will be a lot more fun to put together and to some extent, helps me document my likes and dislikes. I hope you'll enjoy this post!

LOVE


Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation (review link)
I can't believe how well this foundation is working out for me. It blends very smoothly, offers medium coverage, does not appear cakey and controls oil quite well.

Vichy NormaDerm Anti-Imperfection Concentrate
I purchased this pimple cream a month ago when I was suffering from some really bad breakouts. It is the most effective pimple treatment I have ever used. I have been applying this every evening as a spot-treatment and it certainly helps keep my skin a little bit clearer. Unlike many other anti-pimple products, it does not dry out my skin.

Paul & Joe Body Milk
I love the scent of Paul & Joe products, the light floral fragrance of orange blossoms with a tinge of honey is absolutely lovely. This body lotion is emollient without feeling too heavy and it sinks into my skin fairly quickly. It does not leave a greasy residue and my skin feels quite soft after applying.


FINISHED


Forever and Ever Dior Eau de Toilette
This is the third bottle I have finished and that itself is a testament to how much I love this scent. It smells like creamy roses and reminds me of the English countryside in spring. The scent is long-lasting and is very suitable for day use because it is sweet and feminine without being too intrusive. I will always get a new bottle when I run out because I love it that much :-)


UNFAVOURED


Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner
This eyeliner creases, transfers and makes my lids feel a little heavy and tired. I don't even apply that much of it. It's a real shame though because I really like the colour as it's a beautiful metallic grey that looks really nice on brown eyes.

So, tell me... What have you been loving or loathing lately?
