THE ESSENTIALS OF SEPTEMBER

Written by Yasmine M

There is much desire to carry on the summer feeling of calmness, and the sun on your skin - not to mention the minimal use of product. So let's try to continue at least throughout the begining of fall. From an easy mascara, tinted serum and the hair accesorries you can keep on going this September. It dosen't always need to be difficult (or costly).  I have gathered some of the small beauty helpers from summer into fall, that you can keep. Here are the tiny hero's that fit into my back pocket.

For an quick, easy, and effortless routine. 


Water Gel Cleanser + Cleansing Balm, Budgie
As we start to get surrounded more with people and probably airpollution. A good cleanser is the way to go. Budgie released a serie of cleansing balms and a wash that are not only a treat for the eyes, but actually quite good. The water gel wash has nourishing avocado extract with a tint of exfoliating BHA extract that works with a focus for combination/normal skin, while the cleansing balm is more for dry/normal skin that's better for that heavier makeup. For an affordable price, you get a good face cleanser that does the job of taking away your informal makeup.

The Marshmallow Primer, NYX
The primer gives the immediate feeling of good times. As the name, the primer has a gentle uplifting sweet smell of marshmallows as you apply it – which gives you that warm and positive feeling before tackling your day ahead (perfect for a Monday cheer). It’s easy to apply and gives your makeup a soft and matt finish. It’s a lovely primer to have for the kind and natural looks. (And easy to find at your nearest NYX distributor)

Big By Definition’ Mascara, Sephora
To continue the effortless summer look, one only needs mascara. The new Sephora mascara does the trick. Decide if you want to apply it one time for a more subtle look, or 2-3 times for that definition effect. 

Sensitive Eye Cream, Emma’s
As the fall gets a bit dryer, we tend to forget the delicate area around our eyes. Hydrate your under-eye area quickly and effortlessly with the eye cream from Swedish brand Emma. What I really like about this one, is that it’s so light. It’s a great eye cream when you simply want something light and hydrating before applying makeup.

C Beyond Triple Serum SPF 30, ILIA
Continue to get that easy breezy skin with the ILIA Skin Tint. While it’s named a serum, it has a tiny tinted touch, depending on the shade you decide. And as SPF is as important during the fall and winter, it’s a perfect product to get that protection as well, without having to use both sunscreen, moisturizer, and a foundation. Apply it easy with your fingertips or a foundation brush. 

Scrunchie, Cloud & Glow
By now, many of us have changed our tiny black hair nodes, to scrunchies. In a way to keep our hair healthier and less possibility for hair breakage. The tiny brand has a box of three scrunchies, and yes you will need all three as they disappear and reappear around the apartment. This one, in the photo - in a lovely ‘’cloud’’ blue color.
