August Favourites

I'm not really that much of a shopper, but if I find truly great products then I'll definitely get them. August proved to be the month for rediscovering things I liked a few months ago. Let's dig in:

1. This isn't the correct brush but the image just had to do. The brush I'm raving about is the Sirius Sonic Microdermabrasion brush. I did my research before purchasing it and it was ranked as one of the best brushes to go head to head with the Clarisonic line. The system uses a brush meant for sensitive skin and also comes with two hydration applicators, a toning applicator and a more exfoliating brush. I don't really use anything else but the sensitive brush and the exfoliating brush. I really believe its worth the $30 price, especially compared to the steep price of the Clarisonic. My skin has improved so much with it.

2. I recently got a simple tote handbag from my mother, and honestly when she described it over the phone I hated it. Then I saw it and I fell in love with it instantly. It looks similar to the one pictured. I literally take it everywhere now, unless I take my cross-body bag (only for its convenient size). 

3. I got this skater dress from Forever21 and got it shipped through ShipMe. I really only bought it because I knew I could style it really casual and also dress it up, plus it was cheap. I ended up wearing it to a friend's wedding and it didn't disappoint. 

4. Elf Cosmetics' High definition powder took some getting used to. When I first tried it a year ago, it seemed way too white for me. But it turned out I was just being super heavy handed. Trust me, a little goes a long way, and it keeps your face matte for hours. I got this one at Terry's Cosmetics.

5. This Silver glittery purse was also a purchase my mother my mother made. Its glittery but not loud and it suits the look of my new bag. The only thing I may want to change about it is its lack of extra card space or a clear slot for my license. Other than that it's great.

Thats it for August. I hope to continue my positivity streak and attract more wonderful things into my life everyday.

Blessings to you all.
