December Favourites



Top Row - Tea Tree Oil, Kerastase Noctogenist Treatment, Face Shop Makeup Base, Clinique Superfit Makeup
Middle Row - Vera Wang Princess, Fabulous Triple Tough Nail Vitamin Boost, Revlon Polish in Fuschia Fever
Bottom Row - Media Makeup Brush, Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner

Media Makeup Brush
I got this when I started a makeup course earlier this year (went to like 3 lessons then left for personal reasons). Its like a small contour brush, but I use it to blend my eyeshadows into each other. I dont use it to apply any e/s or anything, just blend. It feels SO soft. LIke gorgeously soft. Ive never felt a softer brush!


Fabulous Triple Touch Nail Vitamin Boost
My nails used to be short, they used to crak, peel, break, they were just DISASTOROUS. I tried a bunch of Sally Hanser products cos Ive heard good things about that brand, and things like "Diamond Strength" intruiged me to purchase them, but nothing worked! I bought this for half the price of the Sally Hanswer products, this was only $8 from a chemist, and I noticed a difference in a week!! Whenever I stop using it my nails begin to act up again, so its definitely all about maintanance. Cant give enough kudos to this product!


Kerastase Noctogenist Over Night Revitalizing Treatment
Its a teeny tiny bit pricey, okay, very pricey, and I seem to go through this like toilet paper, but it leaves my hair so soft and it smells DELICOUS and classy. Ive noticed my hair is softer and easy to manage. Will do a review if you like :)


The Face Shop Makeup Base Corrector in Green
I have redness on my cheeks and nose, but I put this all over my face cos it acts as a moisturizer and primer too! It tones down my redness without looking to green and washed out. The texture is lovely and soft, its a cream, and its a light mint green. I really love this. Ive tried different Green correctors (MAkeup Forever, and Maybelline) but they always show the green waaaay too much! I love this stuff because it blends wonderfully and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. I can have no makeup days when I use this.


Clinique Superfit Makeup in 16 Bare (N)(VF)
Ive gone on and on about this stuff, and whenever I switch foundations then come back to this I realise how much I love it. Just everything about it is lovely. Ive done a review on this already, its in my top 3 foundations list aswell. Definitely give this a go if you have combo skin!


Would you like me to review any of these products?
Just ask!

FOTD: 1/12 Sportsgirl Animal Instinct Palette

On Sunday I bought the Animal Instinct Cosmetic Palette from Sportsgirl, and I havent yet tried it, SO I thought Id do a Face Of The Day using the products from the palette!!

Here's the palette itself:

The 2 colours on the left are the lipglosses, the 2 colours in the middle is the blush, and the 2 colours on the right are the eyeshadows.

Also on my face I used the products below to create a subtle base.
L2R: The Face Shop Make Up Base, ModelCo Face Base Skin Primer, Revlon Skin Lights, Vani-T Krush Minerals Liquid Foundation.

Face Shop Make Up Base in 01 Green
Ive tried other green correctors such as MUFE Corrective Makeup Base and Maybelline Redness Corrective Concealor, but this one is so easy to use compared to those 2!!! The texture is really smooth and it leaves your face looking remarkably less flushed, and has a velvet matte finish! Love it!!
9/10

ModelCo Face Base Skin Primer
This is about $10 from ModelCo counters in DJ's, I used this every. single. day. last year, but then got turned off because I bought a bad one which left my skin with white fur balls all over it? It was weird? Anyways I couldnt return it because I chucked out the receipt like WTF? ANyways learnt my lesson, keep receipts. ANyways, Onto the product itself, its wonderful. It says its a hydrating face primer and can be used instead of moisturizer, but I tend to slap on my moisturizer and then this ontop and it makes my makeup last significantly longer and doesnt make my face feel tight like other primers!!
9/10

Revlon Skinlights Instant Skin Brightner in 01 Natural Light
I guess this is like an Illuminizer? Ive had this one tube for about 1 year now and its still as good as ever, however its one of those products that arent great, but arent bad, so I use it for a week straight then forget about it. But its gorgeous, I definitely reccomend it! Its not GLITTERY its more shimmery and toned down, so you can use it by itself or mix it in with foundation, or put it where you'd like to highlight i.e. cheeks, eyebrow bone, etc.
8/10

Vani-T Krush Minerals Liquid Foundation
Ugh. Just horrible. It looks so tacky and the skin and its hard to blend compared to other foundations I use. I do not like this at all. The colour was matched incorrectly and the lady who served me was just a plain old BITCH. Its too expensive, doesnt last long, shitest mineral makeup Ive ever used ay. Ill give it a point for being a mineral makeup, and the cute packaging, but apart from that NUP.
1/10


Its kinda Spring-time inspired :)

Haul: 11/9

Ive had such a busy busy day today! Woke up at 7am (waaay to early for me!) and headed straight into town, read the latest WHO magazine, and went to work. Work was exhausting! Im a waitress so I get loads of blisters! Its so unfair. Does anyone know how to prevent or treat blisters? My feet get so sore!
Just popping past Priceline today and decided to have a bit of a squiz! Here's a look at what I purchased:
  1. Simple Face Wipes
  2. Naturalites False Eyelashes
  3. Rimmel Renew and Lift Powder Foundation
  4. Australis Creme Eyeliner with Brush
  5. Face Shop Nude Nail Vanish
  6. Natio Face Mist
  7. Face Shop Eyelinger
  8. Prestige Eyeliner


Simple Face Wipes
I bought these because every on here seems to love them! I used to use the light moisturizer in this Range so I thought I may aswell try their face wipes! Good quality for such an affordable price!

Rimmel Renew and Lift Powder Foundation

Love this stuff! I bought this in Ivory ebcause Im currently using their Lasting Finish foundation in Ivory as well; The two of these items go together so well! I remained flawless all day! I only had to touch up once.

Australis Creme Eyeliner

I bought this becausethe cute little brush applicator that comes with is just way to gorgeous to resist! Haven't tried applying it yet but Ill definitely use it when I do a winged eyeliner look sometime soon :)


Naturalites False Eyelashes

The word "natural" got me hooked. Im not a fan of the whole big dramatic false eyelash look, only because there is no way in hell Id be able to pull it off! However, those who do pull off falsies I envy quite a bit! I havent tried these on yet but when I do ýou all will be the first to see! Hit or miss, we'll find out soon!

Natio Face Mist

Im on a mission to find the best face mist stocked in Australia! Ive recently become obsessed with these gems ever since I used the Rose Balancing Mist from Jurlique! Its great for an afternoon refreshment! Cools you down and makes you feel alive.

So that is what Ive purchased today :) Has anyone tried any of the items Ive purchased?

Also, It would be great to her from you all what things you'd like me to write about - More reviews? More hauls? More FOTDs?
