June Favourites

Hello everyone! Today is my first Favourites Post, I thought I would include beauty and non-beauty products in this so lets get straight to it!



Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara. RRP  $26.95
At the recommendation of Carli Bybel a beauty vlogger I went out and purchased this mascara. Now yes, I'm looking at the price tag and thinking that is a very pricey drug store mascara! At the time of purchase it was on special, I don't remember how much but I certainly didn't spend the full price for it. I have to compare this mascara to the Benefit They're Real Mascara in terms of the brush. It's a firmer plastic brush similar to the Benefit mascara however it's about half the width, so you do have to work at it a little more but the results are worth it. For me personally I like a mascara the lengthens as opposed to volumises as my lashes are so short a volumising mascara really doesn't do much for me. There's 4 sections of short firm bristles, as you pull the wand out of the tube the mascara gets caught between each section and as you work it through your lashes you can see the how much mascara is left on the brush. I though that was particularly clever. Since the bristles are firmer it evenly coats each lash and doesn't give your eyelashes that spidery effect.



                                                     L-R Benefit They're Real, Loreal Telescopic

Stilla In the light eye shadow Palette. RRP $39.50
I am yet to do a separate post on this but this truly is my favourite palette out of my whole collection and here's why, It's a great basic nude palette, it's got a great colour range that can take you from a classic nude look to a more dramatic smokey look. The quality of stilla eye shadow's are unbeatable in comparison with my Urban Decay palette the shadow's feel alot softer. You've also got stilla's famous Kitten shade in it, I can see why this eye shadow has such hype behind it.




Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub RRP $9.95
This has been the first winter were I have had chap free lips. This scrub isn't to harsh it doesn't pull and tug at  your lips and it also has a moisturisinng quality to it to, so your lips don't feel incredibly dry even after you've washed or licked the product of. It's so easy to over look the health of your lips and this product has been a  gem during the cooler months.

                                                        Looks like it's time for a new one

MUA Bronzed Perfection £3.00
Since purchasing Benefit Hoola Bronzer my Makeup academy bronzer has been seriously neglected, not to mention that it managed to smash for a second time! However I've come back to this bronzer. The quality and the price is uneatable, i'm so glad I found this, it's a bronzer everyone should check out.



Lush A Million Kisses Lip Tint
I can't find the price for this but i'm pretty sure it was $9.95. I would have completely over looked this in the shop had my sister not taken her sweet time mopping about. First of all it's vegan and cruelty free, the smell is amazing and I would have to say its more of a stain then a balm. I have to apply this with a brush as it stains my fingers. Super pigmented and moisturizing and creamy. Ticks all the boxes doesn't it? When I want some colour on my lips this is what I go to. I'll definitely be going back to purchase more and I encourage you guys to check them out.




And now onto Non-Beauty related Items.

Simpsons Tapped out RRP FREE
I'm not one for games, I get bored of them to easily but this one for some reason has me hooked. Since I downloaded it I literally have been playing it EVERDAY! In a nut shell homer has managed to blow up Springfield and it is his job to not only clean up Springfield but to rebuild it too, one house and shop at a time. At each level  you get new decorations buildings and you get to unlock all of the Springfield characters. You also have specific task for each character my favourite task is to comb Snakes bitchin' hair.


Dusk Aromatherapy Relaxation Candle $14
You know how much I love this candle, I've already done a separate post on it. Nothing un-winds and relaxes me better than this. When this is burning before I sleep I can guarantee myself a great nights sleep. Recommend this candle to everyone.  



Valley Girls Skinny Jeans RRP $14.95
I bought a maroon and Black pair and the beginning of the month and I wear them nearly everyday, So I went back and picked up another 2 pants in a Dark Blue and Khaki colour. There comfortable, affordable and they come in a variety of colours.

New released Makeup in Australia.

First of all I encourage you to watch this video to see the new makeup that has been released in Australia.



Rimmell Acopalips Lip Lacquer 501 Stellar RRP $15.95 - In one pricline that I went to they were priced at $7.97  which is 50% off so it does pay to have a look around at a few different pricelines.


                                  ( it's more of a coral colour however its showing up red in the photo)

So these are liquid lipsticks, they don't feel to dry on the lips and they aren't overly shinny to so its a nice balance between a matte and glossy finish. It has a doe foot applicator, the bottom is also clear so you can see the shade without having to open the product. Since I only got one, i'm not to sure about the other shades but the shade that I got smells like watermelon. Smell is important, I feel as it can sometimes be the difference between loving and hating a product.

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Metal 70 Barley Branded, 55 Inked in Pink RRP $11.95










I already have a few of these color tattoos and I love them. They're great to use on there own or as  a base. I had actually been eyeing Inked in Pink and was ecxited to see it being released here in Australia. And these two shades have proven to be very popular, every store that these products are sold at were either not in stock or sold out. Luckily my local priceline that I wasn't intending in going to had these two babies not to mention that they were the very last ones! I also have to agree with Rachael on this one the formulation of the metal shades are definetly creamier then the other colours that I own.

Covergirl 3 in 1 Foundation 857 Golden Tan RRP $19.95 


This is the first Covergirl product that I have ever owned. This foundation claims to have the power of a primer,the coverage of a concealer and the blendability of a foundation. It's shine free and also has a SPF 20. I'll be interested to try this and see if it does as it claims.


Have you tried any of these products out yet?If not go out and check these for yourself's!

Mini Haul

Since my spending ban I can honestly say I'm really not into purchasing as many things as I previously would have. In fact I'm really working on using up the products that I have now. However when a certain opportunity arises and I find my self in a drugstore I can't help but walk away with a few cheeky things.

Only 2 things! so the first is a Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Eye Pencil I got this in the shade 012 Bronze, I'd seen a few reviews about this and when I saw it on sale for $4 I had to get it. The formulation of the pencil feels creamy it does glide on the eyes fairly nicely, and it is very pigmented. Recommend going and checking these out they have quite a good colour range.

                                          (sorry for the flash guys had to take these on my phone)

And the last thing Maybelline New York Eyestudio Quad  in the shade 90 Irresistibly Ivy.  Again I saw many a review on these and the green shade definitely caught my eye. I picked this up for $5. I love the colours in this quad, there really soft and nicely pigmented and the size of the packaging is great to throw in your handbag and carry it with you through out the day.




I'll definitely be looking into both ranges of eyeshadow quads and eye pencils. These are some pretty good finds in the drugstore. If you haven't got your hands on these I definitely suggest swatching them for yourselfs!
