July Favourites 2015

Another Month has gone. Is it just me or has this month really flown by? Before you know it I'll be 21! Here are my beauty favourites for the month of July.

I've been using the total crap out of this palette this month and I don't think its going to change in the future either. I intend on taking this palette away with me as it fits in my makeup bag. To me, its the perfect winter palette as it has such warm shades in it.

I love the new baby lips. The formula is amazing and now they have a hint of colour to them! Peach is currently my favourite. Review coming on these soon!

The Revo lip balms are a new thing to Priceline and I luckily got this bad boy in my Parcel. (Oh - update, I'm getting a free nail polish in replacement of the bronzer.) Its moisturising and it smells - and tastes, amazing.

Acne has been on my face this month and this is my favourite blemish concealing product. Its thick and it builds up well.

As you can see, I hit pan on my baby. She's been in alot of my favourite posts, shes my crease's fiance. Thats about it.

Oh my gosh i love this. Its so natural looking and you don't look cakey. Its like a BB cream but more pigmented. Review coming soon.

What were your favourites for July?

Bellabox July Review 2015

So my Bellabox for this month arrived a little late. 5 days late. Normally it takes 2 days to arrive from Melbourne, but this time it took 5 days. Which to be honest annoyed me a little bit, but I'm just glad I got it in the end. And this months box is pretty good and I see myself using...well everything. Let's get into it!

Proactiv+ Complexion Perfection Hydrator

Lightweight Moisturiser, suitable for all skin types.

I'm pretty excited to recieve this, I mean come on, its Proactiv, and this stuff is expensive. And my God, Its a pretty decent sized container too. 1 FL OZ to be exact. I'm super excited to use this and there will be a review on this in the future.

Full Size Retails At: $60.00 (89ml)

Palmolive Body Polish Shower Gel

Delicious exfoliating body wash

Delicious? Um, yes. This stuff smells so good and smells like berries. It also contains real berry seeds as part of the exfoliation beads which is pretty neat. I'll be taking this away on my Melbourne adventure when I travel there next month.

Full Size Retails At: $6.79 (400ml)

MOR Hand Cream

This was this months bonus gift, and I'm kind of jealous of everyone else as they got an Essie polish (-cries-) Not that MOR is a bad brand I haven't used them to be honest and I know they are good when it comes to hand creams and body butters. Its just....I'm an Essieholic.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub

Gentle daily scrub...healthier-looking complexion.

This is a pretty decent sized exfoliator (in my opinon). And I can't wait to use it.

Full Size Retails At: $12.99

Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towlettes

A perfect travel bag accessory

I agree Bellabox team. This is a perfect travel bag accessory. I actually wanted travel makeup wipes, but haven't been able to find them anywhere. So to get them in my Bellabox is actually great. And theres 7 wipes in there which is the perfect amount.

Full Size Retails At $7.99

Model Co Shadow Sticks (St Bart)

Newly launched eyeshadow stick

You all know how I feel when it comes to ModelCo. I don't think they are that great and use too many chemicals in their products. But from testing this product out on my hand, I rather like it so far. But I have used shadow sticks before that stain on the lids so will this one also stain my lids? We will find out and I will get back to you all on that.

So thats my Bellabox for this month. I do know that in the next Bellabox they are collaborating with Max Factor which is super exciting and I can't wait to see which makeup product they feature next month.

-Hides- ANOTHER HAUL!

I know. I'm on a spending ban. But these things I needed because I thought they'd be good for travelling because they won't break and they aren't that heavy. So heres what I bought!

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer $15.95

Normally I would not spend that kind of money on something so small. But I just had to get my hands on this as I had heard it was pretty good. And its worth the money and the hype. Review coming on this in the next post!

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation - $16.95

This is what I mainly wanted on my whole trip. I think the size is perfect for travelling. I also have a review on this coming next week - either Friday or Wednesday. Most likely Friday as I have a feeling my Bellabox will be here Tuesday. Also I was going to buy this at Target, but my local Target had nothing in the makeup section. Maybelline, Nyx, Revlon and Covergirl had hardly anything so I left. But bought these 2 next babies

Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow Lip Pencils - $4.86 (Originally $6.95)

These were the only things I found at Target. Though I kinda wish I bought them at Priceline cause they are like $2.50 or something there. But oh well. I have the whole collection now and if anymore come out, you for sure know I'll be buying them.

So thats my final haul until August. I'll be shopping like mad in Melbourne!

Review: Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation

So. I was in need of a new foundation. But I wasn't quite sure what to use. I had heard several people on youtube recommend this foundation so I thought I'd give it a go. I hadn't used much by Covergirl before, only their mascaras. And I had used their old formula eyeshadows and didn't particularly like them so I was a bit hesitant about trying their foundation. But from what I saw instore, I liked it. Here's my full review:

As a lover and previous religious user of the Revlon Colorstay Foundation. I found the formula and application of this foundation very similar.

Its a medium coverage foundation which I really like as I like some of my flaws to peek out so it looks like I just am wearing foundation to enhance my skin which is what I like to use.

Its a very flawless foundation and I found it hid my gross pores quite easily.

What I liked most about this foundation is that its a concealer, primer and obviously a foundation all in one. I haven't found the need to use a primer with it yet. I've only used one if my skin just needed a wake-me-up in the morning.

The foundation just seems to glide on and blend out very nicely.

I have oily skin and I find it doesn't crease, cake or wear off during the day. It stays fabulous.

I'm in the shade 825 Buff Beige and I was in the shade Buff for Revlon Colourstay.

It has SPF 20 in it so its good around the sun.

I would definatley buy this foundation again.

July Haul + Spending Ban!

Okay lets start off with the bad news. I've put myself on a spending ban. Just for a month. I'm traveling to Melbourne for my 21st and I thought "I don't need anything right now, I'm going to shop like crazy when I'm in Melbourne" so thats what I'm going to do. I seriously don't need anything. Apart from Makeup wipes. Thats all I will need. But I'm trying not to use them all up.

And I tell you what. THIS REALLY SUCKS. Cause 1: Target have got 30% off all cosmetics and UGH. When Chi Chi is on sale. Mama needs to buy her some. And point number 2: Maybelline have come out with some amazing new products. Which I bought all I wanted apart from one thing. The pore eraser. I haven't been able to get my hands on it. But I told myself '$16 is a bit pricey for that tiny tube. Wait until Melbourne, or until it goes on sale'. So I'm doing that.

But lets get on with the haul! Lemme show ya what I got!

 

Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow Balm Stains

I guess you'd call them a balm stain. But ugh I love these and I'm actually thinking of buying 2 more tomorrow cause I can spare $2.50 each. But I have a review coming on these in the next few weeks. And I believe these are a new product from Maybelline. YAY! 

 

 E.L.F. High Definition Undereye Setting Powder

So Shaaanxo used to rave about this product, so when I saw it at Kmart, I decided to grab it. Kmart has really improved in the makeup department and I kinda want to go ham over their makeup and...yeah. I'm thinking of doing a full face elf tutorial in the future? 

 

Maybelline Lash Sensational

Another new product from Maybelline is this mascara. And I have heard people rave about this product so I just had to get my hands on it. Review will be coming at the end of August as I have soo many mascaras to use. #girlproblems 

Maybelline Hyper Sharp Wing Liner

I just used this today and omg. I'm throwing out my other liners cause they are complete shit compared to this one. This one is just amazing. Review coming on this next week. 

*Priceline and Chemist Warehouse have a sale on this product and the Mascara. Buy the 2 in one packet for just $24! I did the math and you are saving yourself close to $15 just by doing this because buying both of them individually is close to $40.*

 

E.L.F Blending Eye Brush's

I use these all the time and they are only $3 so I just bought more cause I'm going to use them so why not.
