Can you honestly believe that it is the end of August? I have heard people starting to talk about Christmas already and it is slightly freaking me out, slash slightly exciting me! August was a busy ol' month for me, if you want to catch up on what I've been up to, I wrote a little post about it last week - read it here. I originally thought that I wasn't going to have many loved products this month but when I looked through, there were some standouts, so here they are.

I am sure by now you will gather I am an essie nail polish fan girl. I have so many bottles, and all of the shades they bring out I always end up loving. From the white topped, simplistic bottle, to the finishes and shades, essie is easily my favourite nail polish brand. As they do with each season, essie have brought out their Winter Collection in recent weeks, with a stunning line up of shades.

I don't quite know where to begin with this post... firstly, I guess I have to apologise. I have been completely MIA from my blog for a few weeks now. The odd post has gone live whenever I had a moment to even think about blogging, but lately, things have been hectic! So where on earth have I been and what's been the haps?

The brand that started out making lip balm have certainly grown over the years and have added a new range of lipsticks to their now extensive product range. Burt's Bees is a classic brand, you'd definitely call it a household name. I'm not sure whether many of you know but they now offer a whole skincare line up, as well as baby and body products. It was only a matter of time before they got into more natural makeup products. 

There's nothing quite like luxury products - for me, they are so indulgent and an absolute treat. The majority of my collection is from more affordable brands, but I am lucky enough to have a little stash of gorgeous high-end makeup. This Lancôme Hypnose Star Eyes 5 Color Palette* is a brand new addition to my makeup collection and it is the first ever Lancome makeup product I have tried.

I know we are a week into August, but to give July its last send-off, of course I have to share my empty products that I have finished up. The majority of these I have been using solidly over the past few months, and most are ones I would happily repurchase (or I've already bought them, because they are just that good!) So here is some of my rubbish... I mean empty products.

I feel like I need to reintroduce myself as this is the longest break I have had from my blog since I started it 3 years ago, and for that I am sorry! A lot has been going on, firstly my boyfriend and I have been hunting for a flat and we finally found one; it was definitely a bit stressful but I am so happy with what we found and excited to move next week. I will hopefully be back into my usual schedule, but if not, the move will be the reason! I also got really sick last week and was basically in bed unable to move for most of it. I'm feeling way better now, and ready to get back into my little space on the internet. I really do miss it when I take a break and have a lot of great products to share with you all. 

So to get back into the swing of things, here is my Most Loved for July. There's only a few products, but I have been really enjoying them and excited to share why!
