July Favourites! 2013

Hello! Sorry that this is a bit late! July has been a massive month for me! I've been travelling for almost half the month. First visiting family and then off to Melbourne for a romantic getaway with my lovely man! Because of this I've bought a fair amount this month but not really used it enough to make it into my favourites video. wah. So, let me show you my little pile of favourites that I have been LOVING this July.

Review: Rimmel Apocalips (Australian Colours)

I have been waiting for the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Laquer's to arrive in Australia for a very long time. They released in England early this year and a massive hype quickly surrounded them in the beauty blogger and youtube community. After a few months, they've finally been released in Australia!

Top 5 LUSH products!

LUSH cosmetics is a company that I have grown to know and trust. The company strives to produce "effective products from fresh* organic* fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics." (lush.com.au, 2013) Growing up, I was intstilled with the outlook that using natural products that mother nature has provided is a safer and smarter way of living (thanks mum). That, and I had very sensitive skin growing up, and still do, so using harsh, cheap chemicals was not an option.

June Favourites 2013

|
June has been a big month for me. I've finished up my fifth semester at university and I'll be honest it was not my favourite. I do not have a brain for accounting! Other than that, June has been a wonderful month. I've made some new friends and re-kindled friendships I thought I'd lost, I've been motivated to exercise more and, of course, I've had some favourite products.

My favourite lipsticks

This is a quick post dedicated to the 12 lipsticks that sit in this little 'crystal' (it's plastic) lipstick holder. I have these ones out because they are my most used. I like to change the lipsticks in here fairly regularly so that I don't forget about other lipsticks I like to wear.

Autumn Lips using Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush!

With my pale skin and blonde hair I've never been much for vampy lips. Mostly I was just scared of how to pull them off. I was in high school when that whole 'emo' phase got popular, so the idea of wearing vampy lips just made me cringe from memories of girls with panda eyes and cheap, thick lipstick that just looked terrible! 

First impressions: Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman!

Real Techniques brushes are something I'd been admiring online for about a year now. Living in Australia, the only place to physically purchase is from a very overpriced Priceline (the sets are $40 each). So, when I was given some money for my birthday I decided to invest!
