September Favourites + Mini Haul


Hello there!
I can't believe I have not even written up ONE post this month! Ive just been super dooper busy with work and friends.
My first October Post will be my Favourite items from September!!
[click to enlarge pictures]
  1. Heels
  2. Twilight Series! I only have the last 3 books because I saw the movie for the first book and so decided to pick up where I left off! and OMG the books are sooo much better than the movie!!!! Loved them:)
  3. Chichi Body bronzer. Love this. its freakin' gorgeous! Looks great in my room, and great on my body. I use it on my legs and chest when I go out. It gives it a slight faux tan look and some sparkle :)
  4. Dolce and Gabbana perfume. Its winter here in Aus and so this is so gorgeous. In summer I prefer light scents, nd this perfume is so not light! Its gorgeous to feel sexy on cold winter nights.
  5. Rimmel Lift and Renew Powder foundation. This is my HG powder foundation - Better than MAC! The only thing that doubts this powder is the colour selection.. ONly 4 or 5 colours to choose from in the range! Dodgy.
  6. The Body Shop Vanilla Oil Perfume. Smells soooo good! Theres a Lush version too that Id die to try out but its like$60 whereas the TBS version is like$20. Ill stick to what I know and love for now :)
  7. Starry EyesLiquid Eyeliner. Yay! All glittery and gorgeous! From Sportsgirl (their coool makeup collection!) I love coated my top lids in this on weekends! Sparkle my way throughout the clubs. Its a tad childish, but who am I kidding! Im no adult :) Ugggh speaking of that, my bday is soon. the big 1-9-!!!!!! ahhh.
  8. Face of Australia lipglosses. $4 each! Great value, great product! But they've been discontinued! Ugh this ALWAYS happens to my HG lipglosses :(
  9. NARS blush. Yum yum yum. So sparkly and gives a gorgeous glow, be it day or night!
  10. Benefit Valley of the STars. Great little kit. I mostly use the eyeshadows when Im at my bfs house cos he finds it weird when I bring a bucket of makeup to his house to get ready to go out. He wants to seemore of my "natural beauty" AHAHAH laughable.
  11. This is a "vintage" necklace! Lol My mum found it whilst cleaning out her room the other day and decided Id love it. Which I do! Apparently its cheap metal but I pass it as gold. Lol

BELOW As you can see below I use HEAPS of the Rimmel powder! Still going!

Im really disappointed because Ive been using the ModelCo Lash + Brow Growth Activator and it hasn't given me any results yet! I started using this product on the 20th of September, it says that I should see results after 2 weeks, it has been just over 2 weeks now, and no improvement in my lashes have been noticed :( So I shall be doing a FULL review on this product in 2weeks to see if there's a substaincial change in my eyelashes at the 1 month mark.
Yesterday I also bought a few things :)

  1. MAC powder sponges(???) - about $8. I use these instead of the sponge that comes with the Rimmel foundation.
  2. Rimmel Stay Matte foundation - Was about $15, got a free powder with it! Haven't used it yet but cant wait till the weekend so I cna give you all a quick review.
  3. The Body SHop Shea Butter Shower gel - $12.95. Ive used this the past few days, Ive managed to skip moisturizing after the shower and my skin doesnt crack as it usually does! Not sure if it comes down to the moisturie properties in this shower gel or just plain luck! It smells yummy :)
  4. Rimmel stay matte powder foundation FREE with the purchase of any Rimmel foundation. Love freebies! Ive been using this in the morning after applying my liquid foundation. It doesnt seem to make my makeup last any longer though. But I loveee Rimmel foundations!
  5. Room oils from Dusk - $6 each. Bought Vanilla annnnnnd some other one. Lol sorry too lazy to look! I think everyone should either have scented candles or oils in their bedrooms. Makes it so much more homey :) And my boy loves to come into my room when it smells yummy.

Haul: The Body Shop


So lately my Studio Fix foundation has been breaking me out really bad! So Ive had a few days without makeup, but I can't stand feeling so naked all the time!
Ive been looking for a new foundation (RIP Studio fix). It was a toss up between bare minerals (from David Jones) or the Moisture foundation from The Body Shop.
I decided on the Body Shop foundation!
Why? Because Ive tried so many mineral foundations and they do nothing for me. They look horrid and cakey on my combo/oily/dry skin and I haven't noticed any difference in my skin tone when using them.
So here's my Body Shop Haul:

From top left: Sample of Vitamin E Serum, Sample of Tea Tree Oil wash, Tea Tree Oil Facial Blotting Tissues, Moisture Foundation, Pressed Face POwder, 2 x Dusk oil fragrances.


So Why Did I Decide on TBS Moisture Foundation? Because it's cheaper than my studio fix (and Im a tad broke at the moment) and the packaging seems cute!

Tea Tree Oil Facial Blotting Tissues $4.95:
I adore these things! Miracle papers I call them :) They get rid of the oils on my nose without taking off my makeup like some other blotting tissue do.

Moisture Foundation SPF15 $31.95:
Most people always suggest I should use a matte foundation because of my oil nose, but that just makes the rest of my skin dry and cakey! So I always use a liquid foundation followed by a pressed powder. The texture is lovely and glides onto my skin nicely! So far, so good! I love the fact it has SPF15 - I need this for my sensitive skin! It has decent coverage and I love the fact it has added goodies like Marula Oil (to maintain a glowing complexion).

Pressed Face Powder $24.95
Ive only been using this just for today, but it seems to keep me shine free for the 4hours Ive had this on! The colour matches up perfectly! Not sure what it looks like in photos yet. But it's great for touch ups throughout the day!
Update: I said previously that the Body Shop Pressed Face Powder matches my skin tone well; But after wearing it for 8hours today it has actually turned pink!!! So I wont be buying this again :) But will most probably purchase the TBS Moisture foundation and just use my MAC powder ontop :)
I also bought 2 oil fragrances from Dusk: The two I went for is Morrocan Mint and Plum Delight :)

Whats everyone's favourite Body Shop product?
