August 2025 Favourites

This year, I haven't been exploring many new things, but in August, I made an effort to experiment with new experiences, including skincare, makeup, clothing, and more. I've always found great joy in discovering a new product or something that I end up loving.

Skin care, makeup and perfumes

PS capri coast body mist.

I might have mentioned this before, but I had forgotten how much I loved this product until I got my hands on it again. As a woman in her 30s, I don't rely solely on body mist every day, so I also wear perfumes. However, what I adore about the PS Capri Coast body mist from Primark in the jasmine and brown sugar scent is how well it pairs with all my perfumes. Rather than overpowering my favourite fragrances, it complements them. This means that during a busy day, instead of lugging around my bulky perfumes, I can simply toss this body mist into my bag and be on my way.

Clinique Dramatically Different

I’ve had this product for a while but I’ve only just tried it, and I can’t tell you how good my skin felt after using it. Now its a little pricey but after using it for the past month i can say that I am really enjoying this moisturiser.

Carmex lip balm

Like many others, I often don't drink enough water, which leads to my skin becoming easily dehydrated. As a result, regardless of whether it's summer or winter, I consistently have chapped lips. During winter, the wind and lack of hydration make my lips extremely dry and cracked, and in summer, the heat combined with insufficient water intake leaves them cracked and dry. Carmex lip balm really seems to help with this issue.

Bioglow rose hand cream

Bioglow rose hand cream has become one of my favourite hand creams. I always have a hand cream with me, regardless of the season. Whether it's summer or winter, it effectively keeps my hands moisturised. It's neither too thin nor too thick, ensuring my hands stay moisturised without feeling like I'm leaving cream everywhere.

NYX professional makeup butter lip gloss

Even though its a product that’s been out for a long time, i find myself loving this lip gloss just like i did back in 2013. This is an oldie but a goodie.

Homeware

Cooling blanket

With the hot weather fading, these blankets won't be needed again until next summer. However, they have been incredibly beneficial for my fiancé and me. These blankets absorb body heat, helping to keep you cool during the warmer months, allowing you to still snuggle with your partner despite the heat.

Lunch bag/ box

I saw a lunch box on TikTok and its been great for keeping my food cold until I’m ready to eat it at work. As well as the bag i also got a bento lunch box, also off of TikTok. It has many different compartments meaning I don’t have to carry around loads of lunch boxes in my bag and not being able to get everything in my bag.

Bags, stationary and clothing

Bags

I recently got a new handbag my finacé got me and i have to say I’ve been loving it. It’s large but not to big and it fits everything inside that i need on a day to day basis. Whether I’m out doing much needed tasks, going to work or working on my blog at my local coffee shop i can always fit what i need in this bag. It comes with a matching purse and goes with any outfit i maybe wearing.

Papermate inkjoy coloured pens

I recently invested in better pens and these pens are great as they come with 2 of every colour and 4 black and 4 blue pens. They have been great in helping me stay orginaised.
