September Favorites :)

September was a great month for discovering new products, from body, face to jewellery. These are the products I've been loving through out last month, so I'm just going to jump straight into it.

Couleur Caramel

Black Short Mascara

RRP: $37.95

www.couleurcaramel.com.au

This mascara lengthens and separated my lashes quite impressively. I was super impressed how my lashes looked and felt after I've applied this product. It felt super soft and didn't flake through out the day. This mascara does have a scent, which is a pleasant smell. Kinda like coco butter but better. Which I found quite nice, as many mascaras don't have a pleasant scent. Its a water based formula enriched with soothing acaria gum, protective beeswax and shea butter. It leaves a natural curl in your lashes upon applied, almost looks like fake lashes. The best thing about it, Its all natural!

Rimmel London *

Lash Accelerator Endless Fibre Mascara

RRP: $17.95

www.priceline.com.au

 

Lash Accelerator is used for my everyday makeup, I wore this almost everyday of September, as it looks natural and instantly adds length. I did notice some changes. My lashes appeared longer and stronger. I was asked many times if I got lash extensions or if I was wearing fakes. The brush is lash-catching to give the perfect separation without clumping. Its the perfect mascara if you're wanting cute, girly eyes.

Curtis Collection *

Luxe Liner - Black

RRP: $35.00

www.curtiscollection.com.au

Great liquid eyeliner for precise, controlled application every time. Very fine tip glides smoothly onto the lid, delivering colour intensity in a single sweep. This liner creates a subtle definition using the tip of the liner for a thick black line with a dramatic finish. By using the side of the pen, you can create a bold, thick, glamorous cat eye. Loved how this liner didn't crack like other liners, lasted the whole day. So easy to wash off at night too.

Swisspers

Facial Cleaning Wipes - Original

Pack of 25 Wipes

RRP: $5.99

www.swisspers.com.au

 

Ive always loved and used Swisspers cleaning wipes as theyre actually made to do the job. It removes all my makeup off, even those water proof mascaras. Also cleanses, tones and moisturisers without drying out your skin. Leaves it feeling like a babies bum haha. Im really liking the product changes to the packaging. They've now got a plastic flip cover instead of the adhesive that most makeup wipes have, which lead to drying out. So the flip cover was a smart choice, really does make your wipes last longer. The sheets are fairly big that it covers my whole face and also a lot thicker, which makes it easier to use. They're perfect for those lazy nights where you cant be bother walking to the bathroom, easy to store in your bag or inside your bed side table. If you haven't tried these, what are you waiting for?

 



Calvin Klein *

Downtown

50ML

RRP: $90

David Jones & Myer

 

The femininity of downtown s displayed in a light soft pink colouring bottle. The liquid is a pink tone, which sprays on clear. I found the colouring to be very cute, girly and sweet. The cap of the bottle is a silver hollow design with a bright fushsia accents that adds a modern edge. Which using your cap to filter your photos, so you can enter that Calvin Klein competition on instragam. The fragrance balances feminine woods with soft floral notes. Opening with Italian Cedrat, Bergamot, Tunisian Neroli, Green Pear and Watery Plum. Downtown is developed with notes of Pink Peppercorn, Violet Leaf and Gardenia Petals and dries down with Texan Cedarwood and Velvet Musks. Which you can really smell the warm musky, woody scent while wearing it.

 

 

LUSH

Rub Rub Rub

Shower Scrub

RRP: $12.95

www.lush.com.au

 

This product makes shower ten times funnier. Actually, using LUSH products are fun full stop. This Rub Rub Rub is a bit of a variation on the normal shower gel. Its packed full of mineral-rich with Sea Salt and a refreshing dash of lemon juice and the tropical scent of mimosa blossom that gently exfoliating the skin, leaving it feeling super soft and shiny. I tend to use once a week, maybe twice when fake tanning, to ensure I get all that dry, dead skin off before applying a gorgeous tan. Its suitable for all skin types. So everyone can join in on this LUSH shower party.

 

Marc By Marc Jacobs

Enamel Stars & Disc Necklace

RRP: $129.95

www.davidjones.com.au

 

I got this necklace from my boyfriend as a gift to celebrate our 2 years together. Before receiving it, I was eye balling it at work, as its just a gorgeous piece. I wanted it so bad, that I saved it as my wallpaper on my phone (how sad am I?) I was actually going to reward myself with this necklace for all the hard work I did with opening David Jones Malvern Store. As Marc Jacobs is a very popular brand, it kept selling out. Guess I have expensive taste. So I was glad my boyfriend was actually paying attention this year round and brought it for me. Decorated with enamel stars, silver engraved balls and enamel logo discs by Marc By Marc Jacobs/ The aqua blue enamel contrasts beautifully with the gold-tone chain.

5 Beauty Products I've Finished - May 2013

5 Beauty Products, I've Finished. - May 2013

 Vera Wang; Preppy Princess:
I was given this as a Christmas present last year. I've always loved Vera Wang, and trying Preppy Princess for the first time, was exciting. This smells exactly how you'd imagine a preppy girl smelling- one of those girls who shops at the high end store, maybe upper-middle class, gets good grades in school, hold hands with her boyfriend at the park. It's a fresh scent, not obnoxiously flowery or sweet- it's young and innocent but suitable for a woman of all ages.

Swisspers; Facial Cleaning Wipes.
I've tried the other Swisspers wipes before (green tea and cucumber) but this one is the best in terms of the smell. I really like the fresh scent. Unlike many other wipes I've tried, Swisspers is perfect for me, coz the wipes are not too soggy - they just have the right amount of the cleansing stuff on it. And it does remove make up pretty well too! This is a great thing to use when you're just lazy to remove your make up at night. Plus, I never find a need to apply moisturiser after using this. 

Maybelline New York: Fit Me Pressed Powder (Sand Beige)
The package is very inviting, it's small but cute. The only thing I hated about the package, was that you had to keep flipping the powder up, just to use the mirror. Which would leave me covered in powder, if I didn't clean it up. Besides that, the formula was very lightweight, didnt make my face, look cakey or patchy. Blends very well with my foundation and other beauty products I use. 

Australis : Eyeshadow Primer.
FINALLY!!! I have been looking high and low for something to stop my oily lids from gathering eyeshadow in the creases and ruining my hard work! I decided to give this a go, despite it being considered a budget brand and I was excited to find that it does its job to perfection. I have worn this almost everyday for 8 hours with no fading whatsoever, just a dab on each lid, gently massage it in. Eyeshadow will not budge. I also have sensitive eyes and this is gentle as can be! Packaging is super cute, I love how Australis make all their products look alike (MAC inspiration?) Hot pink bottle with a black lid and doe foot applicator. 

Maybelline New York: Dream LUMI Touch. Highlighting Concealer.
this product is amazing. I used it every single day. It was easy to apply and looked amazing blended in. I used it under my eyes, brow bone, down my nose and a little on my chin. Even though it says "concealer" it looked more like a bright highlighter. To be honest, I truly felt like I could pull off Kim Kardashian's  hight light / contour look. The texture was very creamy and was quick to dry, so you have to be super quick to blend into the skin. It didn't look cakey or to light for my skin. It was perfect shade to lighten dark areas and make my features stand out.
