Here are my monthly favourites finally - sorry about the delay but I had to reinstall my picture editing program on my new laptop before posting. Oh yes I said new laptop....and I LOVES IT! Anyway onto the good stuff:
Foundation: Bourjois Healthy Mix was my foundation of choice for this month - mostly as I was trying to consistently use it to write a review - see how I sacrifice myself for you guys? lol
Blush:Physicians Formula Shimmer Stip in Vegas Strip.While this is meant to be used as a bronzer it can be used lightly to add some colour and sheen (no glitter here) to the skin.
Powder: Rimmel silky powder. This is a hero product for me and it's almost empty. I am yet to find a foundation that this powder doesn't suit.
Eyeshadow: I was lazy last month and rarely wore eyeshadow. I feel to put in a favourite here would almost be misleading
Mascara: I popped open my last tube of NYX Doll Eye Volume mascara. The wand on this mascara reminds me of the wooden tools they use to get honey out. I prefer the lengthening formula but for $7US this is a nice, dark, non-irritating formula.
Lipstick/Product: Revlon Colourburst in Icy Nude. I only purchased this late in the month but this shade is STUNNING. While the price on these is crazy for a drugstore product I purchased it with some found dollars so the sting was small.
Skincare: My skin was prone to breakouts and was bitchy for the whole month. Palmers Gentle Daily Cleanser with Milk Proteins and Antioxidants made my face clean without upsetting what was a pretty out of sorts face already.
Hair: Biolage Volumatherapie Shampoo and Conditioner. I have loved these, gone off them and come back around just in time to empty them out again. Lovely product for fine/brittle hair in need of some volume.
Perfume: Truth time - when I am stressed, sick etc... the first things to go for me are fragrance and eye shadow. I only wore my perfume while I was away for work and the one I took with me (and glad I did) was Giorgio Armani's Aqua di Gioia. This is a lovely perfume and I am a big fan.
Other: I have 2 products for this section:
- Chapstick 100% Naturals Lip Balm in Botanical Medley - Canberra made my lips as dry as hell and this sorted them back out. It smells nice and was pretty cheap - it's now permanently in my hand bag.
- Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF 20 PA+ - I blame Jade for this purchase and do so happily as I jumped merrily onto the BB band wagon. If you have read my blog for 5 seconds you've probably seen me bitching somewhere about coverage for redness and SPF. This has both and made my skin feel as soft as it did when I was young(er). Gorgeous product - please go and check out Jade's review if you are interested.
Nice faves! I really want to try some Skin Food products, do you own any others? :)
ReplyDeleteVintage - thanks and yes I do. I also purchased their Agave Cactus Sun BB cream SPF36. It is slightly thicker and darker in colour. It also has a sponge aplicator bottle (not a fan) but you can squeese out from the tube and use your own sponge (fingers tend to stick on my dry skin). Here is a link - hope it works - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320549251309&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
ReplyDeleteI am just starting to explore BB creams. I am wearing Skin79 BB cream today. I am busting to try Skin Food, after reading yours and Jade's review!
ReplyDeleteI love Healthy Mix. I find it interesting that we've got such different skins, and yet we both love it.
ReplyDeleteI was playing with the BB's in Kawaii Fashion the other day... They made the backs of my hands feel amazingly soft! Might have to get myself one. Cool story. d:
Su - I've got the impression from some reviews that Skin79 coverage is a bit sheer so I'm very interested to hear your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - I love BB and seems there are ones to suit every type of skin, go on dip your toe in the water :)
Great faves, I'm still loving healthy mix and the bb cream too, thanks for the link love :D
