What's in my Muji Drawers? | August

Another month, another look at the products I've been loving! Here's a look at what's made it into my little Muji rotation this month.

Face

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup | £30 

Not exactly a light summer base but I've really been liking this recently. I get a really shiny face as the day goes on but this really does stay in place! It's also a slightly darker shade than I usually wear so it's perfect now I've got a tan from my holiday. The only downside of this is that it does settle a little bit into any fine lines.

Bobbi Brown Creamy Corrector in Dark Peach | £19 

Since my Benefit Erase Paste ran out, I decided to pick this up  in my Duty Free Haul. It's a little bit lighter so more brightening and I do actually really like it. The peach tone definitely counteracts the blue tone of my dark circles and means I don't have to pile on loads of heavy concealer.  

Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer | £17.50 | review and swatch

Instead I've been loving this 'weightless, full-coverage' option which is so light and blend-able but still gives really nice coverage. My skin has cleared up a lot since I got back off holiday so it also does it for blemishes for me. Again the shade I have in this is slightly darker than my usual so perfect now I've caught the sun.

MAC Mineralise Skinfinish in Global Glow | £24 | swatch

This is my latest glow-giving obsession! It's a gorgeous gold-toned dewy highlighter. It's also definitely not as glittery as it looks in the pan; it's very natural on. 

Laura Geller Blush n Brighten in Pink Grapefruit | £15.50

This is the blusher I've been reaching for pretty much every day since I got home. It's so effortless to apply and gives the perfect amount of deep pink colour pay-off, with a nice bit of highlight.

Real Techniques Blush Brush | £9.99

This works so perfectly to lightly sweep on a highlighting blush like the Laura Geller one and also the Hourglass ones. It's such a bargain and can also be used for bronzer so I recommend everyone adding one of these to their collection.

Lips & Eyes

MAC Plumful (Lustre) | £15.50 | swatch  

For lips it's a bit of a re-discovery; I really didn't like this when I first picked it up but now I'm in love with it! It's the perfect sheer lip way to wear colour and I love the bright, plummy tone for Summer.

 Benefit BrowZings Kit in Dark | £24.50

Although I'm still loyal to my Soap and Glory Archery Brow Pencil, I have got back into using a little powder on the sparse patches in my eyebrows. For this I've been loving this kit from Benefit, however for a cheaper option I think the Sleek one works just as well. 

Maybelline 24-Hour Colour Tattoo in Creamy Beige | £4.99 | review and swatch

This is the perfect semi-matte taupe-beige neutral eye base. I've been building my MAC Pro Palette and will do a post on it when it's done however there's been a perfect little quad I haven't stopped using that I thought I'd share. 

MAC Pro Refill Eyeshadows | £10 each

I have 4 shades at the moment that I'm loving and work so well together. First is the classic All That Glitters (a pinky-nude shimmer) for the inner-corner highlight. Next I sweep some of Patina (a light brown shade with a cool iridescent shimmer) across the lid. I add a bit of Quarry (a lilac-taupe matte) into the crease then finish with a bit of Woodwinked (a warm medium brown shimmer) into the outer v. 

Crown IB119 Deluxe Crease Brush* | £3.69 | review 

This is my favourite brush right now for applying the crease shade but also for blending out the edges. It works incredibly well and is so soft, I really can't get over how affordable it is!

 L'Oreal False Lash Flutter Mascara | £10.99

This has been my mascara go-to since getting back to the UK. I love the formula but also the brush is amazing for really hooking onto the lashes and adding some serious length. It also adds a nice bit of volume whilst maintaining definition. 

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner in Black | £13 

A recent addition to my stash is this much-hyped Stila eyeliner. I do still think I prefer the shape of the nib on my Soap & Glory Supercat, however this is really nice for the small, fiddly details. It's very pigmented and black, plus I find it easy to work with.  

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Underground  | £15.50

For my lower lash line I've been enjoying these liners from Urban Decay. It's such a lovely, creamy, pigmented formula but once it's on it doesn't budge. I love the aubergine-taupe metallic shade of Underground.
