2015 Beauty Favourites

Hey guys.

No photos in todays post as there is just going to be way too many things to type and there is a limit as to what you can have in each post AND cause I'm just too lazy to take photos.

One of my aims this year is to start sharing favourites. And that includes monthly favourites. So I'm starting 2016 off with a bang sharing some of my Beauty favourites of 2015. These are all items that I would repurchase and do recommend.


Eyeshadows

2015 was all about eyeshadows in my opinion. I spent way too much money on various eyeshadows, and I think I'm going to kick back the amount I spend on them in 2016.

My favourite eyeshadow palette all the way up to November was the original Naked palette by Urban Decay. I have had the second, and a dupe for the third, but got rid of them as the Naked palette was the one I always reached for. I love the shades they are so pigmented and its also perfect for travelling as there is everything in there. From a subtle everyday look, to a dramatic night time look.

My Holy Grail crease colour this year was Natural Collection's Milk Chocolate shade. Its very similar to - I think it's naked from the Naked palette. I hit pan on it in 2015 and I would repurchase in the future online

As a base for my shadows from September onwards I used Mac's Soft Ochre Paint Pot and Oh My Gosh, I haven't found anything better than this. I have done a review on this I believe, if not I have one coming. But its something I will repurchase when I'm done with it.

ColourPop Shadows. What can I say. Total game changer. I easily spent about $70AU on them in 2015 and I'm probably going to spend the same amount on them this year. They are incredible. I'm about to place another order as a matter of fact.

From November to December my favourite Palette was the Kat Von D Monarch Palette. Its a beautiful warm, Autumn palette, and like the Naked its perfect for day and night looks. I love the pigmentation and I want more of her palettes.

Foundations

I loved the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous this year, I discovered it after I finished up my Revlon Colourstay and they are basically the same thing. The only thing is the Covergirl one is a teeny bit too dark for me but it works still. I will repurchase both these foundations but more so the Covergirl one as it is like $15 cheaper than the Revlon one.

Mascara

This one is easy. Maybelline Lash Sensational. It blew me away. It seperates, it lengthens. Its just incredible.

Powders

One powder I finally decided to try after hearing raving reviews was the Rimmel Stay Matte. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me and now I love it and have hit pan on it in under 4 months.

I also jumped on the Banana Powder bandwagon. I'm using the banana powder from the AC ON TOUR palette and its the only shade I use.

Eyeliners

Maybelline's Hyper Sharp Wing has become my favourite liquid liner as its so thin an precise.

Rimmel's Scandal Eyes line is so rich and creamy and it lasts. Its perfect for the waterline.

LipLiner

Essence lipliner in Satin Mauve is my favourite to pair with Lumiere, and Ofra's Wine Lipliner is my favourite to pair with a natural pink lip.

Blush

Maybelline (I can't remember the name and its faded away) Mauve blush is my favourite everyday Blush for the winter and Benefit's Hervana has been my favourite everyday blush in the summer.

Primer

I got into primer as soon as Maybelline released Baby Skin. I love Baby Skin so much and I have a backup.

Its a great dupe for Benefit's Porefessional but I only have a few samples I got from beauty boxes and I can't bring myself to buy the full size, yet.

Lips

Innoxa Full Cream Lip Colour in Red Rose is my favourite red. Hydrating, moisturising. Wonderful.

ColourPop Lumiere OMG. Just amazing. Everyone needs it.

Mac Mehr, yes I've only used it 5 times but I love it to death. Its my everyday nude shade.

Chi Chi's Checkin In Has become my new daily nude. As I'm liking the matte look, not satin.

Midi by ColourPop is my favourite nude matte lip. Its not tacky and feels like you have nothing on.

Australis' Shang-Hai and Mel-Burn have become my favourites, not so much for everyday, but for the occasional day.

Skincare

Out of all the skincare items I have tried this year, my favourite brand has to be Real-U. They are amazing, and don't cause my skin any harm.

June Favourites 2015

Phew, June's done with. Time to move onto July, then August, which is my Birthday month! Eeek so excited for it!

Anyway before I get too carried away lets talk about my favourites of this month.

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous I just started using this foundation and I love it. Its amazing. I have a review coming up soon for it so keep an eye out

Beauty Rush; Punchadelic by Victoria's Secret I've been using this as an all over body spray in June and it has quite a nice sweet scent to it.

Chapstick's Again I've been loving them. I use them constantly. This one is my favourite in Cake Batter.

Lady Gaga Fame This is my favourite 'Winter' scent as to me its kinda warm

Nyx Hot Black and Whipped Cream I've been obsessed with these 2 colours. Because of their amazing pigmentation and the quality.

Essence All About Matte Powder This has been my most reached for powder this month. I have a review coming on this soon too so keep your eyes peeled.

ColourPop Shadows in Selfie and Rebel Its a sad time when you have hit pan on your favourite shadows and thats the case with these two. I have used them so much this month, mainly Selfie.

Favourites | April 2015

Another month gone by, another month to share the loves I had.

First of all this month I swear every day I have worn makeup it has included one of these shadows from Shaaanxo x Colourpop Collection. To me, these are the perfect winter shades and they aren't too dark but are buildable to be a darker consistency. I actually placed another order with colourpop this month including some more shadows and some Lippie Stix. I can't wait to get them and haul them for you guys!

As the nights begin to get colder, the more chapped my lips begin to get, and this is sounding like a poem whoops. But I've been using alot of lip balms this month and my top two are my Nivea Pure and Natural in Milk and Honey and Burt's Bees Rejuvenating Lip Balm With Acai Berry - Now thats a mouthful!

One of my favourite foods this month has been eggs. I truely love eggs and will eat them any hour of the day. I particulary like my eggs to be a tad runny.

My favourite song for the month would have to be Uma Thurman By Fall Out Boy. This song makes me want to get up and dance every time I hear it. Its great.

I didn't get a photo of this product because it lives in the shower and it was wet at the time. But I have been regularly using Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser (?) and I will be doing a review on it shortly so I won't talk too much about it here, but I'll say that I have noticed a difference for sure.

I've been trying to get into the habit of cleansing my skin this month and with cleansing your skin, Moisturiser has to be included am I right? I've used some samples this month so I'm just showing what I am currently using. To me, all moisturisers do the same job so I dont notice much difference using different types.

A site I've kinda been obsessed with this month has been OzSale. Though to be quite honest, right now I am over it, mainly due to the fact I went to buy something and It would not allow me to pay via paypal for some reason. And yes they accept PayPal.

And my final favourite for this month has been.....Donuts. I had a Simpsons marathon and thats what I think caused my addiction to donuts, thanks Homer. Just kidding I dont know what caused the addicton actually. It kinda just, sparked out of the blue.

And they are all my favourites for this month! What have you enjoyed this month?
