Sleek Solstice, Milani Luminoso blush, MAC Fanfare, Paco Rabbane Olympea and Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk

Another favourites post, another month gone. Am I the only one who can't believe summer is almost over? As for summer, so far we've been getting the loveliest weather the last week or so, that's supposed to last for a while. The Netherlands is making a comeback with the summer weather, having me not in the autumn spirit much yet at all. The month of August was one with ups and downs for me, with the biggest up being my graduation last Tuesday. You can read more about what I wore here. Anyhow, let's stop the babbling and let's get on with these favourites.

This month has been filled with quite a few favourites, but the jewellery love has surely been substantial this month for me. Firstly I've been obsessed with this sleek and classy looking New Look watch I ordered off ASOS sometime during July. I've worn it daily ever since and can't seem to part with it. I love that it has both the rose gold and the silver in it as it ties together my other jewellery bits that are both those tones. Some serious love has also gone toward these cheap 4€ silver hoop earrings from ASOS. They came in a set with gold ones as well, but my love for anything silver is real. Love to wear them combined with chokers to give off that 90s vibe.

I have a new sunglasses love! I know I know, I have a new pair every month... BUT these ones are from La Moda, I got them earlier this month, and am obsessed. After looking for the perfect pair of rose gold mirrored sunglasses for forever I finally found a good quality pair. They haven't left my face since. Who can resist rose gold, am I right?

My go-to scent this month is this gorgeous perfume by Paco Rabbane called Olympéa (review on it here). I've gotten multiple compliments while wearing it already.

Makeup wise I've got quite some things to talk about. First off this STUNNING Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette that I've been using non stop. I thought the glow on the other highlighters I own was real, but this baby is from another world. It's been perfect to achieve that summer glow. You guys need this one in your life! Favourites in the palette for me are both Hemisphere (top right) and Equinox (bottom right). I love to mix those two together, as well as use them on their own. Also a favourite for my cheeks has been this Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso, the perfect glowy peach blush. For lips it's been all about MAC Fanfare (review here) and the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk. Love the latter so much that it's been in my favourites for the second month in a row! Last but not least I've been obsessed with using an Essie nail polish called Mrs. Always Right on my toes for a cranberry terracotta pop of color. I can see myself loving this as a transition nail color on my finger nails as well.

Milani Baked Blush LuminosoMilani Baked Blush Luminoso
The blush I'm talking about today has been on my mind for literally ages. It's even been in my basket during a few online shopping sessions, but somehow I never actually went for it in the end. My skin tone is on the cool side, which always witheld me from going for a peachy blush that gives off so much warmth. It wasn't until a friend of mine got it and showed me it on her, that I realized I needed it in my life for summer. If you're wondering what blush I'm even talking about, it's Milani's Baked Blush in the shade Luminoso! And damn girls, this blush truly is LUMINOUS.

Of course the Milani blushes are quite well known in the beauty community and that is not without reason. These budget babies offer you an amazing quality for the price, as they are damn pigmented. The glow they give off isn't one to joke around with either. Luminoso is the most popular shade of the range and a supposed dupe for NARS Orgasm.

Now, Luminoso is a peachy coral shade. Basically this means it's perfect for those hot summer months as it gives the illusion of sun kissed cheeks. Of course this blush can be used all year round as well. And fear not you cool toned ladies, even giving off a lot of warmth, it suits my fair, cool toned complexion wonderfully. Really the shade is good to use for a variety of complexions. The blush itself is really pigmented, giving you a lot of bang for your buck since you only need to use a little to give you the most stunning luminous glow. Though it may be luminous, the little sparkle bits in the blush are very subtle if applied correctly. Next to pigmentation and luminosity, the blush als rivals higher end blushes in it's staying power. Luminoso lasted on my skin while on a day out, all day long. It could still be seen at night time.

The packaging of the Milani Blushes feels quite sturdy. It's made of plastic and I love the gold on the front. Also neat: it comes with a mirror and a brush in a hidden compartment below the actual product. Now, of course I won't use this brush much, but it's always nice to have it there for emergency situations.

Best thing about this beauty? The price. It retails for around 10€, depending on where you buy it. In the Netherlands it's only available online, and I got mine at the Boozyshop for 10,99€. Considering it equals high end blushes in quality, I would say that isn't a bad deal. Also a special thanks goes out to the Boozyshop for their quick delivery and personalized note and packaging that comes with your order. Makes online shopping even more fun!
