So it’s time for August favourites! This month I got a lot of new products and here are those that I loved the most.

1 and 2 – Illamasqua’s Precision Inks in Abyss (deepest black) and Alchemy (antique gold). It’s easy to use them, the colours are rich and pigmented and they stay on forever. You can read the detailed review and see the swatches here.

3.Guerlain KissKiss Gloss in Crystal Pearl 800, shimmering iridescent pink.

I’ve been using this gloss all the time and got a lot of compliments and so many people asked me about the colour.  Pale sparkly pinks are my favourite lip glosses so no wonder that I like this one so much. The formula is quite thick and moisturizing. Keep in mind that it’s a scented gloss. Crystal Pearl is beyond gorgeous and it reminds me of my favourite gloss of all times – Mica by Chanel. Detailed review coming later.

4. Rouge Bunny Rouge Decadent Duos Joys and Desires in Rumba Cubana.

This is a nice product which is a liquid blush and a lip gloss. I love multi-purpose travel friendly products and this is one of them. The lip gloss is lovely but the blush is just amazing, I am totally in love. The formula is not heavy at all and it’s easy to

I’ve already posted a preview of BECCA Fall 2010 collection and here is all the information. As usual I am very impressed and I think that BECCA always has  beautiful models and great products.

This is what is written about the collection:

“With a mélange of rustic and romantic tones evocative of windblown, grassy plains, the Prairie Moon Collection radiates in a flourish of rugged femininity.

Windswept hair and stormy eyes darkened with greens and grays are tempered by dusty, rose flushed cheeks and a hint of soft caramel nude on the lips.”

Collection includes:

Prairie Moon Palette, £55/$65

• Eye Colour Powder (Shimmer) – Chenille (shimmering dark khaki green)
• Eye Colour Powder (Demi-Matt) – Voile (creamy bone), Nappa (green/gray)

I love cream blushes and I love BECCA so cream blush from BECCA is something that I do love a lot!

I have mine in Amaryllis which is a rich dusty pink shade.

As you can see this blush has the same design as their cream eye shadows and I like such design:  minimal and stylish.

So this is how Amaryllis looks in the pan. It may look a bit too bright but, believe me, it looks very natural after you apply and blend it.

Besides being very beautiful this product is also long- lasting and it stays on for a long time even on  dry skin.

It’s easy to use this blush and you can do it with your fingers. Also it’s not a problem to blend it, it looks as a natural blush of your cheeks.

And this is how it looks like when applied.

Some of my readers told me that they would love to see more posts about the drugstore makeup. So I thought, why not? For the last several weeks I’ve been testing some drugstore makeup items that I was able to find in my collection.

So in July’s favourites I’ve included some of those products.

1.Too Faced Natural Eye Palette

I got this palette back in fall and even made swatches but I just forgot about it until I’ve found it this month.  You get 9 pretty eye shadows both matte and shimmery finish. I got mine from the USA for $35. I will be sure to write a detailed review with swatches as soon as I can.

2.Max Factor Lash Extension Effect mascara

I’ve been using this mascara a lot and I love how it divides the lashes and it works perfect for the lower lashes. You can read review and see photos of it here.

3.Max Factor Second Skin foundation in Creamy Ivory

This is one of the best foundations I’ve ever tried and  you can find out why here.

4.BECCA Jewel Dust in Asrai

First of all I have to say that I love the package, not only it’s gorgeous but it also has small holes in it so the product stays inside the container. And also, althought it’s not glass, the package doen’t look cheap! As for the shade, it’s so beautiful: iridescent pink with some small glitter. I love dusting it over the cream eye shadows. I promise to write a review later.

5.Rimmel Colour Show Off Lipstick in Pink Gossip

It’s a hot pink lipstick which stays on for a very long time and is great for summer. But I only
