September Favourites

I thought that as my schedule of posting on a Friday coincided with the start of a new month, it was only right for me to do a monthly favourites, especially since I haven't done one in a while.





























The first favourite is a bit of a random one but I have really been loving this shoe spray. The brand is Kiwi but I just picked this up in Tescos. I mainly bought this for my badminton shoes as I play for my county and recently got a new pair. I really want to try and keep this pair nice so after each training session I leave my shoes to dry overnight (ew I know), and then spray them with this in the morning before putting them away. What I love about this is that you twist the bottom, pop it in your shoes and push down to release the spray. I don't know why but something about this really excites me haha. Oh, and it has a lovely, fresh scent too!

Onto something a bit more normal, the L'oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo. It's safe to say that I've tried a thickening shampoo from basically every drugstore brand so I was really excited when a new one was released. What really intrigued me about this is that it claimed to scientifically widen each hair strand, whereas most other shampoos of it's type just give your hair a bit of a boost and texture. I have definitely already noticed a difference after only using this a few times, so with continual use I am confident that I will see a vast improvement in the thickness of my hair.

Now for a makeup item, and something a bit different for me as it's actually high end. For my birthday back in August I was kindly given a MAC Paint Pot in the shade 'Let's Skate', and I have used it nearly everyday since. On a normal day I will just use this and a swipe of liquid liner, but on a more adventurous day I will use it as a base under a more developed eyeshadow look. The shade is a lovely pale pink with gold shimmer. It looks lovely and simple on the lids and adds a lot of brightness to your eyes.

Next up is a bit more a bit more of a general thing and it's statement necklaces. Since being given a ridiculous amount of necklaces for my birthday I have been trying to get into the habit of wearing one everyday, and so far I have really been loving statement necklaces. I wear quite plain clothes for college as I don't want to look too dressy, so these necklaces really help to add a bit of interest to my outfit. The one in the photo is from New Look and is one of my favourites because the cream and gold colouring mean that it goes with everything.

My final favourite is my Amazon Kindle. Having always thought I would be a book person, I was reluctant to try a kindle but I have fallen in love. I love how light it is, making it easy to hold, and I love that it tells you how far through the chapter, or entire book, you are. I also really like that you can look up the definitions of words whilst reading, because it helps to extend your vocabulary, whereas with a normal book I would just move on without finding out what a word meant as it was too much effort to get a dictionary and look it up. Overall, I feel that there are so many positives to using an e-reader, and the cheaper prices of e-books is yet another.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know your favourite products from September in the comments.
