CHRISTMAS FACE


~ Christmas Inspired Makeup! ~


With Christmas just around that sharp corner (16 days away to be exact!) I thought why not
have a makeup play day and see what I can come up with for how my face might look come
Christmas day! Here is the result. It is pretty basic and anyone can re-create it. Hopefully it
inspires you if you're feeling a bit stuck. I like to keep it pretty simple, but still keeping it a bit
traditional and festive with the classic red lip. x

My Festive Face! (aaand pout!) haha!

Products Used To Create This Look!
Real Techniques Mini Brushes
L'Oreal Paris Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer (Video Review)
Maybelline Better Skin Foundation in Light Beige

AUGUST FAVOURITES

~ AUGUST FAVOURITES! ~

DOVE Go Fresh Nourishing Body Wash
(Cucumber & Green Tea!)
This body wash feels so relaxing at the end of a long day as well as doing wonders
to wake me up first thing in the morning! Loving the scent of this Dove range, which
is why it's a big fav of mine this past month! My daughter even uses it in the bath! :)

TRESEMME' Platinum Strength Stay Soft Leave In Treatment
I've been using this almost every single day before styling my hair in the morning.
It's the perfect, easy to use product for me because I don't have to think too much about
how to use it. Wet or dry hair, it doesn't matter, just work it through to repair up to 2 years
damage to your hair! Makes my hair feel super soft and generally just looks a whole lot healthier!

TRILOGY Very Gentle Moisturising Cream
I recently dug this sort of old product out of one of the never ending beauty draws which resides
 in my bathroom. ;) Don't we all have at least one?
Anyway, another super easy to product to use either day and/or night.
Feels very soothing and leaves skin super soft.
Contains natural spring water, chamomile and calendula!

SKIN DOCTORS Cosmeceuticals Younger Hands
After more months than I like to admit, I've begun using hand cream again.
My hands are probably the most aged part of my whole body. :(
This promises to help your hands look 10 years younger in just 6 weeks!
I think it's been doing a pretty good job thus far.
I use this at night just before bed.

FACE OF AUSTRALIA Mineral Therapy Illuminator
(In Angel Flame!)
I've never used Illuminators very much, but having discovered a few of them lately,
I can no longer ignore them because they are just too pretty!
I am a sucker for shiny, glittery and sparkly anything, and so this one is no exception!
Creates a stunning, illuminous, subtle glow!

MAYBELLINE Dream Pure BB 8-in-1 BB Cream
(In Light!)
On days when just at home and with no plans to go out or see anybody, I usually just slap
on some BB cream instead of applying a full face of foundation because it's just quicker
and get's the job done in livening my face up and hiding any imperfections just in case there's
a knock at the door, or I have to go out quickly for some reason.
I am particularly fond of this BB cream because the colour just seems to look seamless on my skin.
It neither looks cakey, oily or dry on my skin. It just looks exactly like my skin, only perfected!

I won't give too much away about this product just yet as I'm currently still in the middle of 
trialling this, but obviously I'm loving it or it wouldn't be here included in my favs!
There seems to be rush of 'Blur' kind of products on the market at the moment and it seems
like most brands are getting in on the act, releasing their own version claiming to be the best.
This one has me flawed! Even on days when I've had barely any sleep and am stressed to the max,
this does absolute wonders! I've never tried anything like it! Amaze!! 

SUKIN Facial Treatment Oil
If you've used Sukin before, then you know how gorgeous their products are!
I can't stop using this treatment oil on my skin, it's sooo nice! I originally started using it on my face
to help with the slight acne scaring on my cheeks, and now I'm using a little bit of it on my
pregnancy stretch marks and it's really toning down the scaring. 
Full of vitamin and antioxidants as well as fatty acids. 

ARBONNE Lipstick
(In Candy Friandise!)
I know I have included this in a favourites post before and here it is again!
I've found myself reaching for this lipstick the most this past month.
It's the most wearable, natural shade. It just adds the perfect amount of natural pink to your
lips to make them look like they're just naturally that perfect shade!
Love the way it feels on my lips, moisturising, smooth and barely noticeable.


Love Candy!

EMPTIES


~ August Empties! ~



What!? It's the end of August??
Somebody pinch me because I must be dreaming!
How can it feel like only yesterday I began this blog in January,
celebrated my 30th birthday & now I need to kick my butt into gear
& figure what on earth I'm going to do for my son's first birthday next month!
This year has whizzed by in what feels like 5 minutes!

In working through my abundance of endless crap which I love,
I've been sticking to my no spending rule as I continue the sloooow
process of de-cluttering my beauty stash.

Here is an overview of my hard work this past month!


So let's break it down...

Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Shampoo
Dove Firming Lotion
Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo
Face of Australia Fully Loaded Black Mascara
Prestige LashMatrix Black Mascara x2
Wotnot Natural Organic Biodegradable Wipes 20pk



Total of 10 products used up, not a bad effort!
Let's see if I can top that next month...

Love Candy!

ILLUMINATOR


~ Face Of Australia ~

Mineral Therapy
Illuminator
in
Angel Flame!


Who doesn't just love illuminators!?
They have got to be one of the prettiest makeup products out there!
This one is no exception.  

First of all I think the name of this particular
shade, 'Angel Flame' fits it perfectly. If close my eyes and imagine what an
Angel's flame might look like, this would be the colour. A beautiful almost
rose gold, shimmery formulation that adds the perfect highlighting
effect to your cheekbones.

 Personally I think illuminators if applied
carefully and sparingly can be used as a bit of an all rounder.
This is especially handy if this is all you happen to have on you in an
emergency. Let me explain...

Most of us know that certain lip sticks and perhaps a certain type of gloss
or balm does a great job at being versatile in that we can get away with using
them for not only our lips, but as a blush or on our cheeks or cheekbones too.
So why not use an Illuminator on our eyes, waterline and lips?

Bare with me when I make this suggestion, I mean use it like you would
normally. Illuminators go a long, long way! You only need the tiniest bit of
product to get the job done, or you risk looking like a full on decked out
Christmas tree!

Let me know if you try it, I would love to hear about your experiences! 


Do you use certain products for more than they're designed for?

Love Candy!

It is so unexpected and unique.

To create this look I have used the following polishes.

I am loving this candy apple red shade and how it shines like a boiled hard lolly!
The subtle gold shimmer just adds a bit of glamour and fun! :)

~ Nails Of The Day ~

Featuring

Sally Hansen & Face Of Australia

Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Razzle Dazzler (Right)
Face Of Australia in Polyester Girl (Left)

This is such a beautiful blend of medium and fine glitter.
The finer glitter making up the gorgeous soft pink shade,
and slightly larger silver specks mixed generously throughout for extra dazzle!

I can't go past a hot pink nail polish, I don't care what time of
the year it is. The formula of this is runnier than most, but it
still goes on opaque with just one coat.

Do you like to get creative with nail art?

Love Candy!

May Favourites 2014!


~ May Favourites 2014! ~

Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Face Scrub!
Such a refreshing only slightly fruity scent to wake up to in the morning.
Contains soothing avocado and fruity pomegranate which smells
totally delish and done an amazing job to exfoliate away all those
icky dead skin cells. More abrasive than most scrubs, but I love that
as it feels like it's really getting in there and doing its job.
Read my mini review post here!


Arbonne Lipstick in Candy Friandise
I don't think I've reached for any other lipstick this month.
The colour is just so wearable for all occasions any time of the day.
It is so moisturizing I don't even need to add a balm or gloss.
See the makeup look I created, swatch & full review here!


Mitchum Clinical Protection 48hr Deodorant in Pure Fresh
Not only does this deodorant actually work for the full 48 hours,
this particular scent it so so nice! I think it must be the Aloe listed
in the ingredients as I can't pin point exactly what I am smelling.
But it's gorgeous and not at all overpowering like a lot Of
deodorants can be.
Read my full review of the range here!

Watch my video review of the new range below!


Face Of Australia Liquid Eyeliner in Black
I purchased this with my points in the last Beautorium
because my Master Precise Liquid Liner by Maybelline was drying up.
I prefer liquid liners over pencil or gel and this one has a nice thin
brush which makes it easier to create your desired line or wing effect.
Want to see what else I purchased during the last Beautorium?


Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection Toothpaste in Clean Mint
Not much more I can say but perfect!
Affordable, refreshing taste, does the job.
Loving it!
Read my blog post review here!


Napoleon Perdis Jet Set Palette
Full of 18 neutral eyeshadow shades,
Four blush/bronzing shades and 4 glossy lip shades in a fantastic
colour range from nude, light brown with slight pink tones, a
 peachy red with orange undertones and a stunning maroon brown.
All subtle but give, so much life to naked lips.
I have found the little mirror a lifesaver when travelling or on the go as well!

Beautyheaven Beautorium Haul April 2014!


Yep, it's that time of the year again BEAUTORIUM!!! 

Beautorium is an event held by Beautyheaven where if you're 
an active member on the site, you can redeem your points earned by commenting and reviewing, etc for FREE beauty products!!! 
It doesn't get much better than that!

I have participated many times before, in fact I've not missed a single one, 
completely blowing pretty much all of my points each time. But so worth it for the small postage fee.

My order arrived much quicker than I anticipated, so here it is!

I ordered 10 products all together. 
I am most excited about the CleverWhite Dissolving Whitening Strips,
Which was my biggest splurge.

1. WetOnes Antibacterial Hand & Body Wipes 80pk
2. WetOnes Individually Wrapped 10pk
3.WotNot Facial Wipes
4. Schick Intuition Razor
6. Botani Body Bar Antiseptic Soap
7. Face Of Australia Liquid Liner in Black
8. Mode Nail Polish in Babe'n (Pink)
9. Mode NAIL Polish in Lust Lovin' (Orange)
10. CleverWhite Dissolving Whitening Strips

I have now realized unless there is a product up for grabs that I just can't live without, then I should probably hold off on making a Beautorium order until it's been open for about a week as this time around all of the products that I ordered above are currently still available but have been reduced by 25%! 
Oh man! 
But still, a total bargain and BH are even generous enough to pop in a bunch of freebies with each order.

The freebies I received with my order below!

1. Lady Jayne Hair Ties (New Digital Romance Collection)
2. Manicare Glameyes Miranda Lashes 
3. Vagisil Feminine Wash 60ml
4. Lapurete Okuru Mild Creme Face Cleanser & Toner 40ml
5. Lapurete Okuru Resurrection Night Creme 15ml
