February Favourites

Hey Guys

I am so sorry I have been a bit absent from my blog. This post is about 3 weeks late but I figured I should post it regardless! My life has been taken over with tests and assignments and it has just been a little crazy. Which is why I want to try and dedicate some time to my blog so that I can have my own little escape from reality! 

February went by so quickly, I started College and it just flew by, I can't believe I am practically half way through my course, which means all of the assessments are about to become a lot more difficult and more frequently due :( 

Makeup wise I have only been wearing makeup once or twice a week when I go to work or catch up with friends. I have my firm favourites however which I stuck to during February. 

Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Gel Shadow

Bad to the Bronze is my go to eyeshadow if I need something that will last all day and is super easy to do, one swipe over the lids and blended and my eyes look fantastic! Highly recommend these color tattoo's if you are looking for something easy that looks great. These retail for $11.95AU.

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder

Sadly this cant be bought instore in Australia, I purchased mine off ASOS where it retails for around $15.50 AU but can often be found on sale. I really love this bronzing powder, it is a great colour that warms up my skin and if I am feeling lazy I will use it for a little bit of contour as well. This smells like cocoa as well which I think is great, you can't tell once it is on your skin though, just in the pan.

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

I have three of these lip lacquers but I think that my favourite shade would be celestial which is a lovely deep but soft pink shade. The new matte versions are now out but honestly I think that they would not work for me, my lips are super dry and I can even find these drying on my lips sometimes. This formula lasts a long time on my lips, a bit shorter with eating and drinking but better than most other formulas I own. These retail for $15.95 AU. 

Essence Eyebrow Designer Pencil

I think this is honestly my favourite brow product. I have the shade 02 Brown which is slightly dark and red for me but because I dye my hair it works. My left brow has quite a few patches of hair missing and this just helps fill in those gaps. This retails for $3.05 AU and is an absolute steal if you can find a shade match.

Models Prefer Soft Touch Mineral Powder

I am so sorry if I have gone on and on about this product but I absolutely adore it. I have been using this practically every time I wear makeup to set and finish my makeup but I have barely made a dent in this. I own two shades, soft focus and photo ready. Soft focus is not listed on the website and is a similar colour to photo ready but not exactly the same. I prefer soft focus as I find it gives a glow to my makeup like I have been airbrushed. I definitely recommend picking this up, it retails for $16.99 AU but will be on sale in next weeks Priceline 40% off cosmetics sale. Run don't walk. 

This was everything I really loved in February. Sorry it was so late! I will try to be better with my March Favourites :)

Review: Maybelline New York Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in Pomegranate Punk

When I was on holidays and in a chemist, browsing the makeup section I came across this little baby by Maybelline. I already own another three color tattoo eyeshadows, and I absolutely love them. I had seen the shade Pomegranate Punk on a couple of blog pages, I think they were all UK bloggers however as looking at the website I cannot find this shade listed. I had also looked around in stores in WA but no luck. However I was looking at the sale section and found this! Score! I would of purchased it full price but I think I managed to grab it for around $8 AU. 

As with the other color tattoo eyeshadows, this is a great formula which is highly pigmented and lasts a long time on the eyes. This is a very vibrate colour for me, considering I am mainly a neutral loving girl, I think this will be the perfect colour for Winter however. It is a deep plum colour with some shimmer and works well as an overall colour in my opinion. Similar to Bad to the Bronze this can be worn all over as a wash of colour. 

What are your must have colours for winter?

Weekly Loves #06

This week has not been very good so I am happy to put it behind me and look forward to the week coming up, it will be full of moving and homework and catching up with the people I love. Now to the products I have loved this past week.

Seacret Body Lotion

I received this body lotion a while back in a Lust Have It! beauty box, I can't find the exact product on their website as mine is probably a bit old but I only just opened this to put on my bedside table. I have had really dry skin on my hands and arms lately so I have been making sure to apply this every night and it seems to be doing some good for my skin. 

Marc Jacobs Daisy Perfume

I mentioned this perfume in my blog post here, so I am not going to reiterate myself talking about it. But I do really love the smell of this perfume and sometimes putting it on will just instantly lighten my mood. This retails for $99.99 AU at Priceline but you can usually grab it on special, it is currently on sale for $65.00 AU at Priceline!

Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix Foundation

I have talked about this on my blog before, and I am not the biggest fan of this foundation as it does not provide as much coverage as I need, but for the past couple weeks this has been the only foundation I have been using. This has a lot lighter texture than my much loved double wear however as the weather has been quite warm lately I have been reaching for this to ensure my face can actually breathe. I have shade 54 Beige, which is a fairly decent match for my summer tan shade so I can continue to use this until the weather starts to get a bit cooler and my tan fades. This retails for $32.00 AU but I would probably wait to purchase this when it is on sale, you can usually grab the foundation for $24 AU or at least 20% off RRP. 

Maybelline New York Color Tattoo 24HR Eyeshadow

I have been feeling pretty lazy with my makeup lately and this is the only eyeshadow I have been putting on, in shade 25 Bad to the Bronze. This makes my eye makeup look like I have made an effort when all I have done is slap on a little of this (well not quite slap, you get the idea though). This retails for $11.95 AU but you can usually get it when there is a sale on Maybelline products. 

What have you been loving this week?
