My Current Beauty Wishlist: September!

Can you believe it's September already? The lack of time I've spent on the beach this summer is frightening; I haven't used half the beachy, summer beauty products I wanted to! I'm seriously making the most of the sun that we're having now, who knows how much longer it'll be around?!

All of that said, here's what I've got my eye on this September...

Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint in Bare - Liz Earle, £21; Vaseline Pink Bubbly - Selfridges, £3.49; Essie Bikini So Teeny - Boots, £7.99; Hydraluron - Boots, £24.99; Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Prince's Trust Limited Edition - Liz Earle, £19.75.
 I made my first Liz Earle purchase a few weeks back, with the iconic Cleanse and Polish, and I was absolutely blown away. The speed at which it arrived was incredible, the packaging was beautiful and the customer service was second to none. A lot of brands could take a leaf out of Liz Earle's book, for sure. There was a lovely personalised letter, which I know everyone receives, but it just made it all the more special. And my parcel was FULL of free samples. I received a travel size Instant Boost Skin Tonic, which I love and a little envelope with a sample of every shade of Sheer Skin Tint. Which I LOVE. It's not as sheer as I had expected it to feel, and does feel quite heavy on your skin to begin with, but for the rest of the day I barely noticed it was there. It didn't come off on my fingers when I inadvertantly touched my face, which I often do, and it stuck around and gave me great coverage all day. On a day when I was stonking round a country show on a slightly wet and most definitely windy day. I can't get enough of this and have even moved onto the shades that don't actually suit my skin tone. Intervention required!

That leads me onto the Prince's Trust Limited Edition Rose and Lavender Cleanse and Polish. I love the original so so much and have really noticed an improvement in my skin since I started using it. Seeing as I am sucker for anything that purports to be relaxing, I'm drawn to this like a moth to a flame. I think it would be just lovely to use at night just before bed. The limited edition aspect makes me want it even more too. I should definitely get it now in case it runs out... right?!

I've seen Caroline Hirons raving madly about Hydraluron, and I go in for anything that claims to magically hydrate your skin. My skin isn't dry, but it always feels a little papery, in a dehydrated kind of way. I'm hoping this would help me on the way to the super smooth skin that I so badly desire! That and a hundred glasses of water a day.

The obligatory Essie has to be in there. I love this shade so much, it just looks so striking on the nails! However, everytime I pop into my local seaside Superdrug, there aren't any! Come on Weymouth, what are you playing at..

And last but not least, Vaseline's limited edition Pink Bubbly. It's all about the limited editions this month isn't it? It's hard to understand, unless you know me, quite how much I love champagne. So I was more than a little excited when I read about this. I can't justify spending more on the p+p than on the actual product, so I think I'll have to wait until it migrates from Selfridges to Boots and Superdrug on the 12th of the month. Hurry please, Vaseline!
