Monthly Favourites | September 2014

1 October 2014


Hello beauties!

Another month down, another monthly favourites and I have some absolute winners this time round! I know we say this each month, but boy has these last 30 days just flown by!



Malin + Goetz Lip Moistursier
This is, hands down, the best lip balm treatment I have ever tried! Super creamy and smooth, not at all sticky and leaves a beautiful shine to the lips! I highly recommend it to anyone with super chapped lips and can be bought at MECCA Cosmetica for $16.

MAC Eyeshadow Palette
When I travelled to Hong Kong, I had to go and create my own 15 pan eyeshadow palette because of the incredible prices of MAC products there. I am so in love with all the colours that I have where my palette contains a mixture of neutrals, oranges and plum tones. Super creamy and pigmented, if you don't own any MAC shadows, what are you doing with your life?! 

Maybelline Hypersharp Liquid Liner
Another item that I bought whilst in HK, which I couldn't be more over the moon with! I think I can safely say that I love this more than our Master Precise! Boasts a super thin making winged liner an absolute breeze and doesn't dry out as quickly as the Master Precise! 

Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara
This has been my go-to mascara of the moment after I recently rediscovered it in my collection! This beauty separates the lashes like no other and can be built up with 2-3 coats for volume. Stays on all day, no flakes but comes off easily at night time when removing make up.

Real Techniques Make Up Sponge
My Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush has moved aside for this miracle sponge! I absolutely love to use it to apply my foundation and concealer for a flawless finish. You can get it super cheap from iHerb and is definitely a great dupe for the Beauty Blender which is over $20.

Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque 
Ever since I dyed my hair and got ombre, my ends have been super damaged, so I purchased this hair mask to add to my routine to give my ends a little helping hand! It smells great, leaves hair silky smooth and I use it twice a week when I wash hair after conditioning.

Sleek Face Contour Kit in Light
This was my first ever bronzer/highlight duo and after a few uses, I hid it away because I thought it was much too orange for my pale complexion. I think though this was because I was applying it WAY too heavily and not blending. But a few months ago, I pulled it out again and used it underneath my NYX Blush in Taupe for a more contoured look and I loved it! I've been using it ever since, especially for nights out when there is flash photography to warm up my ghost like face!

Chobani Yoghurt in Coconut
I have been a huge fan of Chobani yoghurts ever since they hit stores in Australia and I love trying out all their flavours! Now you guys know how much I love coconut, so I simply couldn't resist and OH MY GOD this is quite possibly the most incredible thing in life! If you've never tried greek yoghurt, or you have and didn't like the taste, give Chobani a go, especially the ones with fruit in them. They are delicious!
