JUNE/JULY FAVS

~ JUNE/JULY FAVOURITES ~

Australian Bush Flower Essences Uplifting Body Lotion
There is nothing more I want to do on crisp chilling mornings then staying snuggled up in my nice
warm bed. So when I do have to get up this little bottle of zesty goodness helps me wake up and
refreshes my skin after a nice hot shower. (Review!)

Antipodes Ananda Antioxidant Rich Gentle Toner
This smells so beautiful, it is almost like a spa in a bottle as it is so relaxing and feels amazing on the
skin. I am currently doubling this up as an air freshener around my house, spritzing it in each room
as I go about my daily cleaning rounds. (Review!)

Rimmel London Wonderful Wake Me Up Mascara
My most recent favourite, but a firm one! This smells like cucumber!!!! I kid you not! Amazing
at opening up my eyes especially on tired mornings after not much sleep. It curls, separates and
lengthens my short lashes with ease. Stay tuned for a full dedicated review with pics coming soon!

Rimmel London Oh My Gloss in 'Glossaholic'
This has become my most recent handbag essential as I have been carrying it around with me
where ever I go. It is so pigmented with such a gorgeous bold pink, it is most like a glossy lipstick.
I love how smooth is glides onto my lips and doesn't feel sticky or messy. The lasting power is pretty
great too! (Review!)(Video Swatch!)

Scunci On The Go Hair Kit

Also a recent must have edition to my handbag. This kit contains all of your everyday day hair
essentials including, basic black headbands, bobby pins, claw clip, hair ties as well as plastic clear
elastics and the cutest little zip up pouch to store them all in which keeps everything conveniently
all together and easy to find in a hair emergency!

Hair & Me Hair Rejuvenation Treatment
I have seen this hair treatment around quite a bit this past month and it seems to be a big hit with
everyone, including me! I have long, thick and lightened hair so it needs a lot of TLC.
This treatment has been amazing on my hair and I found I only needed to use a small amount
to get the job done, so this is going to last me a good while I think. Really enjoying it!
Stay tuned for a full dedicated review on this very soon!

MAY FAVS

MAY FAVOURTIES!

Human & Kind Wash Off Cleanser

I have been using this all month and I think my skin is rejoycing! I love the formula and unique way

of using it with the ultra soft and gentle wash off cloth supplied. A truely beautiful product I

recommend giving a go if you're on the market for a new cleanser especially if you have sensitive

skin! (REVIEW!)

TRESemme Platinum Strength Leave In Treatment

I think I have mentioned this in my favourites quite a number of times! I am that passionate about it!

My hair needs extra strength and especailly even more now since I have been having it lightened.

The Tresemme Platinum Strength range in general and this product in particular just makes my hair

feel like virgin hair all over again in an instant by giving it it's strength back as well as adding shine

and softness. (REVIEW!)

Rimmel London 9 in 1 BB Cream

Huge, huuuuge fan of this BB Cream! I have tried about a billion BB Creams and this one is

definitely up there. Suprisingly the coverage is actually brilliant! It is even better than some of my

foundations can you believe. I put it down to the 9 in 1 formula as it does everything. I especially am

a fan of it's ability to conceal my pores and acts as the perfect foundation base or primer. (REVIEW!) (BUY!)

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara

Ahh, just look at this mascara's packaging?! I recently received this gorgeous looking product in my

Priceline gift with purchase makeup goodie bag and omg, it is soooo nice! It makes my eyes pop and

doesn't clump up my lashes or make them look all spidery and un-natural. It has lovely short bristles

which make it perfect for those tricky bottom lashes as well. (BUY!)

Essie Polish in 'Pink About It' & 'A Cut Above'

I have been obsessed with Essie polish lately and these two have fast become my go-to favs!

Baby pink in general is my go-to shade for polish anyway and 'Pink About It' combine with

'A Cut Above' just adds a special kind of glam and girlyness to my nails which I just love!

Puretopia Sensitive Care Protective Moisturiser

I have previously tried another Puretopia facial moisturiser which was equally great don't get me

wrong. However, this Sensitive Care version is perfect for this time of the year when my skin is

prone to being a little moody and sensitive from the cold weather and change in seasons. My

skin feels extra taken care of and feels a lot calmer when I use this! (BUY!)

Maybelline New York Expertwear Eyeshadow Quad in 'Mocha Motion'

Another go-to product is this Maybelline quad. The shades here act as the perfect everyday eye

collection and are appropriate to wear both day and night. These shades can be build up and

give you a killer smokey effect when smudged together. I especially love using the bottom liner

shade as a smudgy eye liner. You could stop traffic I am telling you! ;) (MAKEUP TUTORIAL!)

Australian Bush Flower Essences Love System Intensive Eye Serum

I have noticed especially over the past 3-5 years my eye area definitely needing a bit of love!

This skin treatment for your eyes is going to last forever! The bottle size compared to the tiny

amound needed for the eye area is amazing and is feels, smells and give real results. I have been

using this for a few months now and I can already see the lines around my eyes have tightened

and faded slightly!! Made from actual rose stem cells as one of it's ingredients, I just love that

clever concept! (REVIEW!)

Natio Eyeshadow Trio in 'Illuminate'

This is another product I picked up when I received the Priceline goodie bag. (Actually my

husband picked it out as it was my Mother's Day present!) It is actually an eyeshadow trio,

however I have been using it on my cheeks as a highlighter/blush/illuminiator. It is incredibly

pretty, I just adore the soft pinks! (BUY!)

Scunci Hair Accessories Braided Black Hair Ties

My hair is thick and can be totally unruley. Especially in the mornings when it appears to

have had a life of it's own (Partying hard I suspect by the looks of it!) whilst I have slept.

So to have these Scunci thick and strong hair ties on hand to sort it out so I can sort myself

out during my busy mornings as a mum is a must! I can just rely on these to get my hair

out of the way when I am in a hurry and I can be as rough as I like and there is no way

ever these are going to break on me. They are brilliant!

Well, I know this post is super late!

I aim to have my June favs up later today so then I will be completely caught up again!

~ 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

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!

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!

INDEED Laboratories Nanoblur

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!

JUNE FAVS

~ JUNE FAVOURITES ~

2014

L'Oreal Paris Nail Polish in White Gold

I picked this up from Priceline recently and omg, the colour is full on GLITTER!!!

No sparse spots or crappy clear application, this glitter goes on with a full completed coat

of white gold glitter with just ONE coat! Looks so beautiful, watch out for a NOTD post featuring

this baby coming soon! :)

Bloom Black Liquid Eyeliner

I can't live without liquid eyeliner. So when I recently used up

all of my Rimmel one, I came back to this one which I had only used

a few times. I love this because the tip as you can see is nice and thin

which makes for a more controlled application. It hasn't dried out in the

slightest and I just love the packaging. Super cute!

Organic Care Vanilla Ylang Ylang Body Wash

Love this, it is so so yummy! The smell reminds me of a caramel/vanilla

fudge lolly or something similar. Such a massive bottle I sure hope I don't tire

of it too quickly! Lathers up so beautifully and feels so soft and smooth on my skin.

Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy Intense Hydration

Shampoo & Conditioner

No matter what I do or what products I use, my hair always tends to be dry and frankly

a pain in the ass. So I am always using moisturising products and products that promise

to d-frizz my hair. The fact that I heat iron the crap out of it on the hottest setting I can

possible get to probably doesn't help the situation, but that's just the way I roll.

A hotter setting means I get the job done quicker and I don't have time to be standing

around straightening my hair for hours on end in a low setting just to make my hair a

bit less dry. There are products like these below to fix me breaking all the rules of hair care!

VS Sassoon Curl Secret

Speaking of hot hair tools, I've been in love with my Curl Secret again lately.

For something a bit different than the regular boring straight hair I normally sport,

I've been trying to get that Victoria's Secret type of curl since my hair has become super

long lately. Out of all of my other curling tools, this is working the best to create the look

I'm going for. I might do a hair tutorial soon. Is that something you'd like to see? Let me know! :)

Watch My Curl Secret Demo Below!

Eve's Ready To Wear Moisturising Lipstick by Teeez

I love everything about this lipstick!

The colour is the perfect pink. Wearable to go with everything, everyday.

The packaging is beautiful rose gold and very funky in design.

I just can't get enough. Has become my go-to lip product!

Scunci Detangling Brush

I seem to have been into a lot of hair products this month.

This is great because, well, my hair is a pretty big part of my life and my overall

appearance. Being long, it needs a lot of work and to have great products to help me out

makes my life so much easier! This brush has made brushing a much more pleasant

experience. It somehow manages to get all of my tangles loose without me having to

tug or pull at my hair. It does the job quickly and painlessly! My three year old has been

using the kids version of this and loves it too. They come in fun colours and I love that

I don't have to feel so guilty about brushing my hair when it's wet because these are designed

that you can actually do that without damaging your hair because of the way the bristles are

laid out on the brush head.

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!
