May 2014 Favourites

Hey all

I have been pretty good with uploading favourites monthly but this months I decided not to as I feel I don't have enough items to talk about in a video. Also I am not sure how often I will uploading as of late as I am not feeling it right now. Maybe soon I will be in the mood to film again.

Makeup

I recently have been loving the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation. It was on sale for half price at coles a few weeks ago and I couldn't say no the price. Boy was I surprised with how good the foundation is! Don't get me wrong I knew it had a lot of hype but I don't always seem to like the foundation that everyone is loving. If you haven't tried this foundation then you are missing out seriously!

Next we have Socialeyes False Lashes which I hauled for you this month! I am slowly getting a little better with false lashes and this have something to do with it! I recently was the makeup artist for a friends art project and I used the Flirt Socialeyes lashes and they looked amazing on the model! They didn't look fake and they made such a different (the model has naturally long lashes but this made a statement!)

The NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder which I recently hauled from a beauty joint order. I am really enjoying this bronzer for an everyday look, as it is matte and not too dark. It has made me start wearing bronzer everyday again which is something I had stopped when my Nars Laguna smashed! Also it makes a great crease colour.

That is all for makeup favourites most of the other products used this month were ones that I have already praised in other months!

Television

Game of Thrones! I am addicted to this show and I don't know how I am going to cope with it being off air for another year! I will be rewatching all the episodes and reading the books to keep me sane!

Reign I became addicted to in May and it is sadly over for the season. I love this show as it based around Mary Queen of Scots so you can imagine how beautiful the clothing and the hair is. The two love interests are pretty cute too. Also there are Australian's in the show which is pretty cool and something that will generally draw me in.

Big Bang Theory Kale and I have been watching this most nights throughout the month and we became pretty addicted. I was never really interested in the show but now I love it.

Lastly Sex and the City has been another show I have watched a lot of this month. I watched at least three seasons in May. I have nevered finished the show and last year I decided I was going to watch it from start to finish. That went well, I finished season 1 quickly then I couldn't find the season two dvd so I put it off. Then Jess (Housemate Tag) watch 4 seasons without me! So I just never got around to watching more. Now however I have been committed to finishing the show! Hopefully I can post that I finished it next month!

Random

I don't have much other favourites this month other than Yoga. I signed up to do a month Bikram Yoga and really enjoyed the Yoga side. I didn't go to that many of the classes as I got sick with a pretty bad cold in May but I really enjoyed it. I think I will continue with Yoga from now on even if it is using my Wii. However a 40 degree room for someone who constantly has a blocked nose is a little too much!

Okay one more Sample week!

New products April 2014 #1

Hey all

This week I recently got some new Clinque products. I went for cult favourites really, I'm sure you have all heard of them.  I had to share anyway I am that excited. 

Firstly I got Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. I have been lusting after this ever since I finished my Antipodes Grapeseed butter Cleanser. This one is talked about a lot in the blog and YouTube world, so was something I just had to try myself. I recently have felt lost with my skin care routine as my skin is slowly becoming more like it's normal self after treatment (minus the acne, for now). It can feel like I am not taking care of it properly do I am excited to have a new high end product to motivate me with taking better care of my skin. 

The other talked about product I picked up is the Bottom Lash Mascara. I'm awful with putting mascara on my bottom lashes and when I try I don't think it looks any good, I'm hope this mascara will make me a pro while giving my eyes an extra pop. This isn't an essential product to anyone's makeup collection but I am worth it, right? 

I also got two samples while I was there and they are the clarifying lotion and the liquid facial soap. I haven't heard that much about either of these products. Only that my mother raves about the lotion. Looking forward to trying them out and letting you know how they are.

Sample Queen!

I have so many samples at the moment. So I am going to start using a sample a week at least and post a mini review on my blog. It will free up a lot of room in my storage and I will hopefully find new products I love. I will not be able to tell you where each sample has come from as it is difficult to remember but most likely it is from a sample box.

I am thinking of posting these on a Wednesday as that is a day where there is a gap in my blog. I will still have posts that are not in a series of course! Just I enjoy series on here as it helps me keep focused on what to blog about and when. 

Also on a little house keeping note I finally changed the time on my blog so now if I schedule it will be on Australian Melbourne (Sydney's too) time. I have no idea why it took me so long.

New Products September 2013

I have recently been using some new products and I thought I would share them with you!

 The Antipodes Grapeseed Butter Cleanser. Also the Clinque Perfectly Real Make Up.

I plan to review these some time soon when I use these. 

I have been using the Clinque for about a month now. The cleanser I have only be using for around a week now. These are two luxury products that will cost a lot of money to re-purchase if I choose to. I will keep you in the loop about them.
