Monthly Favourites | October 2015

So I've been quite MIA on here but after buying a backdrop for photos and my boyfriend purchasing a new camera, I'm feeling a little more inspired and am wanting to get back into the swing of blogging. To get back into it all I thought I'd start with my October favourites. These are the products I've been absolutely loving over the past month or two!

Monthly Favourites | August 2015

The end of August already? You know what that means, right? SPRING! Finally! Here's to pretty spring scenery and warmer weather. I am so excited. 
So as it's the end of another month, I'm here to talk about my favourites for the last couple of months. 

Monthly Favourites - February

Where did February go? I honestly can't keep up with this year. Next thing you know, it'll be Christmas again. I swear the older you get the quicker time goes. It's ridiculous.

Today I thought I'd share a few of my favourites from the month of February. So enough rambling and let's get straight into it.

Monthly Favourites - October

October was full of fun things but now that we've hit November, I've realised how close Christmas and New years are. Where has this year gone?
I've compiled a collection of a few of my favourite things (cue My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music) to share with you all.

#1 MAC Cremesheen Lipstick on Creme Cup

This has quickly become my go-to lipstick when I don't feel like wearing a bright colour. It's such a pretty pink colour, super moisturising and just has a great formula. I can't wait to pick up more lipsticks from MAC.

#2 Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipsticks in Vibrant Mandarin and Hot Plum

For those days when I feel like a bright pop of colour, I've been opting for these two. I bought them a while ago when Priceline had 50% off Maybelline and I've been loving them ever since. The colours are beautiful, the finish is gorgeous and the formula is amazing. Easily one of the best lipsticks in the drugstore.

#3 L'Oreal Infallible Foundation in 140 Golden Beige

This one is the perfect colour for when I'm tanned (which has been a lot lately). It stays on really quite well and has a nice consistency. It blends beautifully and has amazing coverage. Definitely a medium buildable coverage. I love how it doesn't sit on your skin or dry it out. L'Oreal definitely know how to make a good foundation.

#4 Bondi Sands Self Tanning Lotion in Dark

This has been my life saver lately when I've been wanting to wear brighter colours. I just can't do a neon yellow dress with pale skin so this has been amazing. It doesn't leave streaks, gives a nice natural tan and doesn't go too patchy as it wears off. This is definitely my favourite fake tan.

#5 Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturiser in Aloe Soothe

I recently purchased this after seeing so my people rave about it on YouTube. It's so quick and easy and perfect for use to prolong my tan. You just spray it all over your body and then rub it in. It soaks in very quickly and leaves your skin feeling super soft and silky. Great work Vaseline!

What have you been loving this month? Let me know in the comments down below.

Monthly Favourites - September

September has been a pretty good month to me. Work hasn't been too bad at all, I took a weeks holiday and spent a weekend in Sydney. Having a career in retail means it's a pretty good idea to take some time off before the Christmas period starts so it's what I do every year. So before I think to much about Christmas, let's talk about some favourites, yeah? This month's favourites aren't really new products to me but something that I've found myself reaching for constantly throughout September.

Chi Chi Fabulous & Flawless Foundation
A bought this a little while ago when Myer had 25% off Chi Chi as I'd seen plenty of people raving about it on Youtube, especially Shaaanxo. The packaging is really nice, just a really simple glass bottle with a pump. It's super easy to find your match as on each box it tells you the shade and undertone for the foundation. It's definitely buildable and has a beautiful, natural, dewy finish. I would say this is my number one foundation right now as I find myself using it nearly everyday. In Australia, you can pick it up in Target and Myer as well as www.chichicosmetics.com.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal in Black
This is my favourite black eyeliner I've ever found. It's super creamy and pigmented and so easy to use. I always use it in my waterline and find it never irritates and is easy to apply as it's not hard or super pointy (if you know what I mean). Definitely recommend picking this one up as well as the other colours as they're really affordable and such a good drugstore product.

Girlz Only Haircare Dry Shampoo
Target must have realised how good this product actually was as they've recently changed the price from $2 to $3. Hopefully it doesn't jump up anymore! This dry shampoo is so incredible for it's price. As long as you don't spray it too close to your head, it doesn't really show up in your hair and even if it does you can just brush it out. Using this, I can get away with not washing my hair for like 5-6 days which is so awesome because my hair takes way too long to dry and style. If you're new to the dry shampoo world, go pick this up and see how you like it!

Formula 10.0.6 Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask
What a mission to say the name of this one! This is such a good mask for the price. I picked it up from Priceline for less than $10 I think. It's just a standard mud mask but I find my skin to be really smooth after using it. It gets rid of all the excess oil on my face and I really like using it if I've got a couple of (rare) breakouts. I've even convinced my boyfriend to use this and he seems to really like it as well! I've used a cleanser from this range and I enjoyed using that too. 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
I LOVE this product. Before this, I never realised how much makeup was being left behind on my face after using a makeup wipe. I still wipe my face with a makeup wipe and then I go in with the cleansing water over my face again and then on my eyes. It's not harsh at all like some cleansers and seems to get off most waterproof makeup as well. It'd be suitable for sensitive skin as well which is great. It's also only around the $10 mark which is so amazing considering the Bioderma cleansing water sells for around the $30 for 150mL less product!


So those are my favourites for the month of September. What were yours?
