This month, the products I used the month were mostly my tried and true beauty elixirs that I know I like, and that I didn’t need to second guess. I started to gain a really close relationship with a few products in particular that I can surely deem my favourites.

Maybelline Baby Lips Peach Kiss

I’m not going to talik about this one too much because I already did a full review on it, here. This was my go-to lip balm this month. I kept the tube in my purse, and I was really pleased with how its kept my lips all summer.

Smith’s Rosebud Salve

I started using this product a few years ago, and then stopped. I don’t know why. I ran out one day, and just never repurchased it. In July, when I was out at Sephora, I grabbed it up immediately. It’s one of my alltime favorite products. The thing with this is that you can use it for anything. Use it on lips, and on cheeks. Also, use it for a highlighter (I’ve never gotten more compliments), or to moisturize the areas of your face wwhere you’re breaking out. One of my favorite uses for this is to dab a little on a breakout before I put on concealer so it doesn’t get cakey. It has a light but not overwhelming rose scent. It’s also cheap, coming in at about $7. For so many uses, I gladly pay that price. This is the kind of product where if I lost all of my makeup tomorrow, this is what I’d buy first.

Maybelline Great Lash

My second Maybelline product this month! I bounce around a lot on mascaras. This month, I was used a couple, but this is one that I really enjoyed. In terms of look, I find that this one provides the most separation of lashes for a really doll-like look. If you like that sort of look, check it out! It retails for relatively cheaply, and tends to wear well, even for contact-lens wearers.

Lush R&B Hair Serum

Confession time! In my spending-ban month, this was the only thing I bought. My hair was looking a little fried just before I got my haircut. I use a heat protectant, but it hasn’t been enough. One of my friends suggested this product, and I went and grabbed it. It’s a little more pricey ($20-ish) but in my opinion has been worth every penny. You only use a tiny bit, but it works wonders. My hair feels oticeably better, and has even been more manageable on days when I don’t heat treat it. I use R&B both on dry and wet hair. Simply amazing. It’s also scented really heavily. I only use a little dab, but the smell lingers on my hair for days. People have commented on my perfume at work when I’ve really just been wearing a dab of this. I don’t mind the scent, but it is something that you should think of before diving in.

Zoya Nailpolish in Wednesday

I had gotten this in the last Glossybox that I got before I cancelled. I’ve worn it almost all the time this month. It’s long wearing and dries quickly. It also doesn’t have a strong acetone-y smell like some nailpolishes. The mint green color is so pleasant for summer, and was the perfect addition to my look for the month of August.

Those are my beauty favorites this month, but I have some random-ish favorites coming tomorrow! I hope you all are having a good end to the summer! What was your favorite thing in August?
