September Favourites 2015

Feels like yesterday was the first of September. Next thing you know, we'll be celebrating new year!

As for my favourites this month, I don't have too many. Though I did buy some things this month, most of them I didn't end up liking. But heres what I did like...


This month I made my first MAC Purchase. I bought the Paint Pot in the shade Soft Ochre, and it is perfect! I love it. I use it as a primer before applying shadows and it stops creasing and fading during the day.


I've been getting hugely (Is that a word?) into highlighters this month and these 2 by Essence are my favorites. I also quite like the highlighter that came in the AC ON TOUR Palette and use that with more natural looks. 


These 2 nail polishes are the perfect way to start off Spring. Play Date by Essie is one of my favourite nail polishes I own and was the first Essie purchase I made. And Cheeky Chap, well I have a review coming shortly on it. Although it is a beautiful colour, it dissapointed me. Its in my favorites because of the shade.

Haul - Maybelline, Essie and Covergirl



Wow its been a while since I've posted a haul on my blog. So I thought I'd may as well post this one, and another one will be coming on Friday as I want to put that one out of the way too.


Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation in Buff (?) 
Its in Buff something. Just can't think of the name off the top of my head. I'm quite excited to use this foundation. One of my favourite YouTuber's (Lindsay Hughes) swears by this foundation and I've read a few reviews saying bloggers swear by it too. Review should be coming in the next month.
  Target: $19.95


Maybelline Master Smokey by Eye Studio
I got this as a freebie from Priceline after spending $25 on Maybelline. Its a gift from Maybelline as it is their 100th anniversary. I didn't get to choose what I got. But this is what was in my 'Lucky Dip'. And I'm not too excited about it, as its something I wouldn't buy myself. But I may use it, haven't quite decided on if I want to use it yet.
Priceline/Maybelline: Free


Maybelline Color Drama Velvet Lip Pencil in Minimalist
In store, this looked like such a nice colour. Unfortunately, when I got home and swatched it, I didn't quite love it so much. Its really frosty and I don't like frost finishes. So this was a bummer purchase by me.
Priceline: 30% off Original Price


Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes
This is hands down my favourite mascara by Maybelline. It grabs every lash and gives a really nice look to the lashes. This is like my fourth repurchase of the mascara and I will continue to buy it.
Priceline: 30% off Original Price


Maybelline Shine Free Loose Powder
I'm starting to run low on my loose powder and as I'm never repurchasing that one again due to personal reasons with the shop owner, I decided I might try a new one. This powder, I already tried on my face and it is such a fine powder, fine-r than the one I'm using now. It doesn't leave your face feeling cakey, and it feels like you don't have powder on because it is so soft.
Target: $11.49 On Sale - Originally $16.95


Maybelline Dream Smooth Primer Base
I tested this in store and almost bought it a while ago but held myself back. This primer is amazing. I'm going to do a review on it so I'm not going to go into full detail but just say you need to test this for yourself.
Priceline: 30% off Original Price


Essie Nail Lacquer in Eternal Optomist
I got a coupon for Essie where I could get $5 off them and I had to use it the day I got it, so I went in store and this was the first shade I saw and had to get it. Its the perfect nude for me. I'd say its Kylie Jenner's Lip Colour in a Nail Polish format. Its just great. Also excuse my chipped nails in the picture.
Priceline: $16.95 + $5 Off Coupon

A-Z of Beauty Tag (A-M)

A is for Australis. Australis is a hit and miss brand for me. I quite like their lipsticks and concealers, but their eyeshadows I'm not too sure how I feel about

B is for Burt's Bees. I've only ever tried these products by Burt's Bees and I love them. Though I mistakenly used the Cuticle Cream as Lip Balm, whoops!

C is for Chi Chi. Ah how I love Chi Chi so much. So many things I want to buy on my list!

D is for Dermalogica. This is my current Moisturiser I am using and I quite like it as I'm breaking out right now.

E is for Essie. Essie is hands down my favourite nail lacquer brand.

F is for Fragrances. These are my current top 2 fragrances of the moment.

G is for Gerard Cosmetics. Which I am yet to try but I didn't want to miss a letter :3

H is for Hard Candy. I don't know how I feel about Hard Candy. The lipgloss is nice, but the Lip Liner is hard to apply.

I is for Insomnia Cosmetics. A Site I found on Etsy and would like to try at some point.




J is for Jane Gem Primer. Shush I know the brand is Glamourflauge but I only just noticed that....

K is for Korean Makeup. Again SHUSH This is Japanese but....Its probably made in Korea?

L is for L'Oreal. BABY I love me some of dis mascara!


Finally for now.....M is for Maybelline! Maybelline is HANDS DOWN My favourite brand for when it comes to makeup.

N-Z coming on Thursday!
