I cannot believe summer is officially over and it’s time for August Favourites already! I don’t think I’m quite ready to let go. I refuse to accept it’s Autumn until the end of September! (Though I can definitely tell the weather is already changing) I’ve used SOO many new makeup products this month, picking five was next to impossible but I have narrowed it down (almost).
AHB Strobe and Highlight Palette*
This palette is absolutely incredible, I couldn’t not mention it. I have a full review of the AHB Strobe & Highlight palette with swatches if you’d like to see them (and let me tell you they’re worth checking out) The powders have literally zero fall out! The highlight shades are so pigmented and the blush shades compliment pale skin perfectly. Honestly this has been a go to palette this summer, it deserves so much hype in my opinion and it’s cruelty free too!
Tarte Shape Tape – Fair
Who doesn’t love this! There has been so much hype about Tarte’s Shape Tape but its well deserved in my opinion! I have a full review of Shape Tape with swatches coming on Thursday but honestly if you can get your hands on this concealer whether it’s from Tarte’s website or QVC just do it! You won’t be disappointed. It’s full coverage without being cakey or heavy, I can’t believe I didn’t get this sooner!
Urban Decay After Glow blush – Video
My favourite everyday blush! I lusted after this for so long and have not been disappointed. It’s nude toned, pigmented and blendable. It’s subtle which is why I love it for everyday and because it’s nude toned it works very well with pale skin and doesn’t make you look like a clown (something I find a lot of blushes do to pale skin!) This is buildable though so if you like a more pronounced blush, don’t be put off. I really want to try a few more shades from the afterglow range as I love the formula!
Senssē Silicone Cleansing Device*
I’d been dying to try a silicone facial cleansing device for years and honestly my experience has not disappointed! It’s so gentle but gives the deepest clean and makes my face feel insanely smooth. If you weren’t convinced by my full review of the Senssē Cleansing Device then let me try again, treat yourself to this device! It will completly change your skincare for the better, I couldn’t be without mine anymore!
Urban Decay Facial Sprays*
I’ve cheated with this one as I couldn’t pick which one I liked most. If you read my Urban Decay Haul you’ll know I was sent these two sprays back at the beginning of August and I’ve been obsessed with them both since! The Quick Fix Prep and Priming spray is hydrating, stops makeup sinking into my pores and smells like coconuts! The All Nighter Setting spray keeps my makeup looking flawless all day. I couldn’t be without either of these now!
That UD blush looks beautiful. It is really similar to Rimmel Santa Rose in my opinion, shade is really similar. Lovely favorites. xx
The palette caught my eye so I had to have a look!!
I’m really interesting in trying the Tarte Shape Tape and the Urban Decay blush looks really nice!

I really need to find a good setting spray for my trip to Orlando at the end of this month after reading your post I think I might have to check out urban decay 💖

Ooh! I spy some faves and some things I wanna try. I absolutely love that setting spray; it works so well! I’ve been desperate to try Shape Tape!! It seems like the perfect concealer but I’m just unsure of what color I need
OMGGGG that ABH palette! I’m practically drooling! New York dusk looks stunning. Would definitely love to see a full review with swatches! I’ve got tanned skin but hoping some of the shades would still work on me! x

Can’t wait for your full shape tape review, my sister is in the US at the minute and I’ve asked her to pick one up for me as the lighter shades always seem to be sold out on QVC whenever I look! Worried that she’ll end up getting the wrong shade as she’s been away for months and is much more tan than me now but fingers crossed it’ll work out!
Girl your photography is gorgeous <3 also I'm glad I saw your review of the cleansing device because I've been meaning to get one but wasn't sure which one to go for! You've picked some great favourites.
I loved this post! Your photography is stunning xx

That highlight palette is stunning! Again, completely envious of your gorgeous photos. But I am so ready for colder weather – I hate summer! xxx
Peach blushers are my favourite and that urban decay one looks gorgeous. I’ve never tried a blush from urban decay before. I think I need to now. I’ve been eyeing up that all nighter setting spray for ages!! I definitely need it in my life but want a smaller bottle so I can travel with it xx
You’ve got some amazing products here. This highlight palette looks absolutely perfect. I need to check it out. x

That highlight palette is gorgeous😍
I’m not one to wear blush all that often but I’m loving the look of that UD one! Absolutely gorgeous and as always, your flatlays are on point. x
In love with that ABH palette! It is so beautiful! I’ve heard so much about the Sensse silicone cleanser but I’ve tried similar products that just didn’t do me any favours, maybe it’s time to take a leap of faith! xoxox
The two blushes in that ABH palette look so pretty! Going to check out your full review! X
I’ve always been curious about those face cleaning devices, but I’m worried they would damage my skin. Did you had any issue with this one ? 😊
Oh my gosh I need to try one of those facial cleansing brushes! And I love the way you set out your photography with the flowers and ribbon.
Everything in this post looks amazing. Especially that palette, such a dream to own that. Also, everyone hypes about that Tarte concealer I really need to try it x
Ok so I need that Urban Decay blush in my life. It looks just perfect for me. I love the look of the concealer too, although I struggle with concealers as my skin is a bit dry. Great post, and as ever, I come away with an item for my wish list. Thanks………lol
Shape Tape is the best thing ever. It can be a concealer and a foundation, depending on how you apply it. Perfect! I used to use All Nighter all of the time when I lived in a more tropical climate, and it worked so well.

These products all sound amazing! The Urban Decay blush looks so pretty and I always use the All Nighter Setting Spray so will have to give the Quick Fix a go! Nikki x
I love Favourites posts – I’m always looking for more products to try. The colours in the AHB Strobe and Highlight Palette are gorgeous, I love the sound of the blush and I will definitely look into that cleansing device as I’m terrible at remembering to cleanse. (Awful I know). Great post and lovely pictures!
