NOVEMBER FAVS

~ NOVEMBER FAVOURITES ~

CHECK OUT MY PREVIOUS FAVS IN 2014!

JANUARY (MISSED FEB!) MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER

~ FACE ~
Dr.LeWinns Ultra R4 Ultimate Lift Serum
Such an effective product that will make your skin radiate with youthfulness and hydration.

Indeed Laboratories Nanoblur
Makes all of my little imperfections disappear before my very eyes! Love this stuff, makes
for the perfect primer applied over your makeup! So different and interesting and works brilliantly!

~ BODY ~

Rexona Clinical Protection Shower Clean Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

Strongest working product ever! Nuff said!

Vanessa Megan Body Beautiful Oil

Beautiful product and soaks right into my skin and makes it feel incredibly soft, smooth

and youthfully hydrated! Australian and all natural too!

~ HAIR ~

Fudge Urban Sea Salt Texturising Spray

If there was such an award for the best smelling product, this would surely win, hands down!

Has an unexpected yummy, moreish scent which makes my hair smell like coconut!

Kerastase Discipline Maskeratine

I am going to have to ask Santa for a back up of this because I am going to be so sad and lost

once it runs out. I love it so much, best thing my hair has devoured in a long time!

~ LIPS/NAILS ~

MAC Matte Lipstick in Candy Yum-Yum

Very similar to the Velour Lips in Ma-Li-Boo. Such a gorgeous hot pink shade.

Definitely a favourite shade of mine for the lips, day or night!

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pop in Berry Bomb

Smells exactly like a purple grape lolly without the taste unforunately. Gives a tiny

tint to your lips whilst feeling super moisturising and doesn't ware of as quick as most other

balms.

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Top Coat in Gold Carat

After purchasing the silver version from the same range and falling in love with that,

I just had to add the gold to my collection as it's one coat coverage is phenomenal!

Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream in Mi-A-Mee

This has fast become my go-to coral lip shade for the Spring and coming into Summer.

Extremely bold colour and exceptional staying power!

MAC

~ M A C T R E A T ~

CANDY YUM-YUM!

Ok, so there are sooo many reasons I HAD to break my 'no spending ban'
(since I already own about 400 lipsticks! Ok so it's more like 40 give or take, but ya know...)
and get this brand new pretty little baby.

1.) It's named after me! ;)
2.) It's my signature hot pink shade!
3.) Like all MAC lipsticks, it smells like vanilla, and you know how I love my vanilla scents!!
4.) Do I really need to justify this purchase anymore? I mean it's pink, it's a lipstick and
I was set loose with my husbands credit card.... who cares! The damage is done and
I couldn't be happier! :D

Last week my sister and I had a rare chance to go shopping together,

(since we have 5 kids between us, we took full advantage of this opportunity!)

and I have to say, it was the most fun I've had in too long honestly!

Here is Brissie, the shopping centre I most frequent had a major facelift recently and I

couldn't wait to check it out! It has basically doubled in size!

I was most excited to check out the brand new MAC store as well as Mecca Maxima,

Myer, Lush (which hadn't opened yet! *cries!* was dying to tick off some things from my

wish list from there! Big mistake Lush big mistake! You snooze, you lose!) and of course

the not so new Forever New store which always makes my eyes pop out of my head every time

I step in there with all of the beauty it contains! *mega drool!*

(Stay tuned for upcoming posts containing more of my purchases!)

CLOSE UP STICKY BEAK!

I barely EVER purchase MAC lippies because I can never justify the $39.00
So this good as gold treasure joins my only other lonely shade.
Girl About Town which is a slightly darker, most purply/pink shade.
Also gorgeous and I totally recommend checking it out!

While I was in MAC drooling over all of their amazing lipstick shades, I made
a mental note of which ones I wanted next. Apart from the obvious crazy beautiful purple
(Violetta) which stood out majorly from all the others, St Germain which was a
bubblegum light barbie pink colour caught my eye and I can't stop thinking about it!

I think I am in love with a lipstick! What is wrong with me?!
Oh that's right, I'm a beauty addict! Everything is OK! :D

SWATCH!

What are your MAC lippy recommendations?
Tell me below so I can keep dreaming! ;)

Colours Of The Rainbow TAG!

Some of my favourite products from the colours of the rainbow! :)

Let me know if you do or have done this tag too!

Red

Maybelline NY Mini Colorama Nail Polish

#150 Fruit Juice

Super vibrant shade and dries fast!

Pink

MAC Lipstick in Girl About Town

Any lover of pink will love this! My go to lippy and smells like vanilla!

Orange

L'Oréal Paris Infaillabel Lipstick in Orange Parfait

Love this for when I want something different. Very vibrant and pigmented. Lasts 24 hours. Highly recommend!

Yellow

Benefit Sunbeam Bronzing Highlighter

So, so pretty! Can be subtle or built up as much as you desire.

Violet

I struggled to find anything violet so I picked this as it's kinda close in colour....sort of!

Sugarbaby Fairy Gloss Lip Glaze

Sticky, but so beautiful! I am in love with this girlie, pink, slightly shimmery gloss! Gives the perfect girlie pout!

Blue

BYS Glitter

This glitter came with a liquid adhesive to wear on your eyes. I mainly just use it on my nails over any blue shade for a more pigmented and vibrant look. Finished with a clear top coat to seal the glitter and prevent fallout. I feel like a mermaid when I wear it, the photo doesn't do it justice and it's only a few bucks to buy!

Green

ChiChi Eyeliner in Disco Graffiti

Looks absolutely stunning on any which way you apply it. Has shimmer in it and doesn't fade.

Indigo

OPI Nail Polish in Russian Navy

Perfect statement bold navy shade. Goes best with jeans or when wearing white.

Rainbow

Sugarbaby Frangipani Deluxe Hand Creme

This is very affordable and the smell, I simply can't get enough of!

I love to apply this right before bed for soft, sweet, floral scented hands by morning.

March 2014 Favourites!

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub

This stuff smells amazingly, beautifully refreshing first thing in the morning!

I can't get enough of the citrus scent. It's so, so nice. The formula is a grainy, golden, shimmery yellow which gently exfoliates your skin with caffeine, lemon and papaya.

Has been keeping my skin completely clear and feeling soft, smooth and clean.

MOR Sugar Rose Tiger Lily Salt & Sugar Body Scrub

There is nothing I love more than a good all over body scrub either in the shower or bath. It makes me feel super clean and refreshed. I feel like my skin easily builds up dead skin cells, so I like to exfoliate almost every night. I have only just started to use this, but already it is a firm favourite. I LOVE MOR products, they are always so beautiful, almost too good to use. The magenta colour of this tub is adorable and the gold label makes it appear royal. :) I'm sure I don't need to tell you how amazing the scent is. It is like a huge bunch if perfume scented flowers. Loveeeee! ♡

Rimmel London Apocolips Lip Lacquer in Stellar

As you can see, this is the moist amazing, bright, moist shade. I love wearing this everyday or night if on the rare occasion I get to go out. It just brightens up my whole face, makes me look more human, less tired and alive!

Napoleon Perdis DeVine Goddess Lipstick in Serene

First off, I love the packaging of this. It's so different and I love how it is clear and acrylic. The shade is something totally wild, daring and on trend as purple lips are very hot right now. I feel like this shade really suits my dark eyes and dark hair too.

Bondi Sands Summer Bronze Instant Tan

Light/Medium

I was lucky enough to win a whole collection of Bondi Sands goodies not long ago and have been having a lot of fun playing with and trying them out this past month.

I'm loving this product in particular because it is a wash off formula. Meaning at the end of the day I can just wash off the tan in the shower and start fresh the following day. It dries quickly and isn't messy. It doesn't streak and applied evenly and looks so natural. I'm really impressed!

MAC Mineralize Concealer in NW20

I am a big lover of MAC. I think their products are top notch, but sadly as they're so over priced here in Australia, I only own a precious few of their products.

This is one of those products. I was actually very fortunate to receive this in my Blogstar prize pack. It is a product I had wanted for ages and it is the perfect shade for my skin thankfully. It does a flawless job at concealing any dark circles and aids in contouring to a T. I would love to eventually splurge on the matching foundation and powder. I've heard mixed reviews about them, but would love to try them out for myself.

Max Factor Eyeshadow in Auburn Envy

This was included in one of my recent posts about what I keep in my makeup bag.

I use this pretty much daily as the shade is so perfect for everyday wear and can also be build up for a more dramatic night look. It doesn't crease and is such a stunning colour.

OPI Nail Polish in Mod About You

This is my 'Go To' nail polish. The colour is so classic and classy.

I adore it. It girlie, yet subtle and works well when doing a at home french mani or pedi and dries quickly too.

Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine Daily Rinse Off Treatment

I trialed and reviewed this as part of Beautyheaven's trial team this past month and I have to say, it has made a noticeable difference to my hairs appearance and texture.

What's In My Everyday Makeup Bag!

I know my fellow beauty lovers out there won't judge me for hoarding around so many essential everyday beauty products, so all you others out there, don't judge me, I need the, all, everyday, no seriously! ;)

So if you're keen to delve in, grab a coffee or tea or beverage and snack of your choice, ignore any distractions and get comfy, this is going to be a lengthy post!

Somehow I manage to fit all of my day to day makeup in this tiny little Sally Hansen bag I was actually lucky enough to win off their Facebook page last year with some of their nail polish. A skill many clever, beautiful women know how to master. Right ladies? ;)
