August Favourites
It's that time again folks, it's the end of the month! August has been huge, not only is it the last month of winter here in Aus but I celebrated my 22nd birthday! It's been my busiest month by far and I'm pretty sure I have bought the most makeup this month too! (damn sales). So here are the things I have been loving for the month of August!
Face Of Australia Translucent powder
I use this to set my foundation and concealer (I have been using a lot of concealer lately) and it has been wonderful. Previously I was using my Australis Ready Set Go Translucent Powder (which I still love) but it turns my face white, whereas the FOA powder is tinted and gives me the perfect colour and it's not too heavy.
HP Envy Laptop
My new baby! I got this beauty at the end of July but it has improved my life so much. It has windows 8 but I have found it user friendly, I was so off put by it on a friends computers but I do actually quite like it. I feel my blogging will improve now I have this incredible machine.
Erin Bigg Blush in Honeybell
This gorgeous blush is so highly pigmented I only need to use a small amount to get the perfect flush on my cheeks. This is my go to when I just want a little natural colour. I love all of the Erin Bigg Cosmetics blushes.
Tangle Teezer
This has replaced all my brushes as it has soft pliable bristles so it doesn't snag, break or pull my hair out, It is also fantastic for anyone with extensions. It's a little bit bigger than the size of my palm and I got it on Beauty Bay before it was available in Aus. I adore this and will probably never use anything else.
NYX Photo Loving Primer
I have been using this under every makeup application and I feel it makes big difference. Creating a smooth surface for foundation and keeps my makeup and place all day.
Napoleon Perdis 15b Brush
I love how this brush is shaped it is perfect for carving out cheekbones with its slim head and dense bristles. It creates a great line under the bone and is easy to blend with I would absolutely recommend this if you are after a contouring brush.
Face Of Australia Dark Side Nail Polishes
These polishes were highly anticipate for their intense colours. As the name suggests they are based on darker tones and have villainous names to match. I have polishes in Ursula, Maleficent, Magneto and Mystique (see a pattern here?) at present. These colours go on easily, are creamy and opaque and last quite well. Great polishes for a great low price. Available at Priceline, Big W, Target, etc.
