Spring Favourites!

I feel I don't try enough products or have enough variation in my routine to have a monthly favourites post every month so I've decided to do seasonal favourites. Here in Australia we have just finished our spring season so now I have some products I've been loving within the last 3 months. Here we go!

Maybelline Better Skin
You can see my first impressions / review here.

Australis Contour Kit
This beauty I only new to my collection but has become an amazing staple (I'm considering going out and buying a backup, if I can find one). My favourite shades wold have to be the two in the middle. The yellow powder in the highlighting row to set and brighten my under eye area and the lightest contour shade of the three to contour and shape my face.

Anastasia Beverley Hills Brow Gel in Brunette
This lil' baby is amazing when you're time poor and with our Queensland temps it doesn't easily sweat off! I love being able to just brush this amazing product through my brows and move onto other things.

Dior Extase Mascara in Black (not pictured, sorry!)
I can get easy lash volume with this formula from Dior. It's not cheap at $52 AUD a tube but as a one off purchase I am extremely happy with it. One coat is all it takes for this to give me beautiful, full, flirty lashes.

Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Primer
This primer is a nice lightweight formula so it doesn't feel thick and heavy in our warmer climate. I feel it gives my foundation the perfect base to smooth over and it really does help my makeup last all day. Bonus it smells and feels like moisturiser.

Smart Skin Facial Cleaning Wipes
I adore these facial cleansing wipes available from Woolworths for $2.12 for  pack of 25 wipes. I use these everyday to remove the bulk of my makeup before I cleanse my skin so I can get the best results and a deep clean from my cleanser. They come in scented and unscented and are both alcohol and oil free. "Cleanses, tones and removes makeup for soft and refreshed skin". My skin doesn't feel striped after using these wipes which is awesome.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes in Radiant Magenta and Diffused Heat
Hourglass can do no wrong. Especially when it comes to these blushes, they are AMAZING, anyone else agree? I love my two shades that I have as I can choose if I want a brighter or softer blush colour. They are so highly pigmented, easy to apply and blend and are such beautiful spring colours.

Radiant Magenta, Diffused Heat

Eco Tan Exfoliating Glove (not pictured sorry!)
For the smoothest skin I use this glove. It is made from bamboo fibers and is machine washable! This glove is fantastic at removing old spray or self tan or just for giving your skin a great exfoliation. This is perfect for use before getting a new tan.

Vera Wang Princess EDT Perfume
This is my go to signature fragrance, I adore it. I love the flirty soft smell of this gorgeous heart shaped bottle.
"Oriental-floral fragrance, launched in 2006 as a modern and playful magical elixir. It celebrates youth and femininity in its top notes that bring the aquatic nuances with pure and sharp notes of water lily, apple, freshly-sweet mandarin and apricot.The heart is composed of exotic guava, Tiare flower, tuberose, with a touch of dark chocolate. The base brings powdery traces of vanilla, amber and wood.The bottle looks like a heart-shaped jewel, very fine and elegant, a symbol of magical charm and romantic in lilac tones." This is my signature fragrance, I adore this amazing scent, it's my daily go to." (From here)

DNKY Be Delicious
This is such an amazing green apple fragrance I love wearing it in spring as a fresh, uplifting scent.
A refreshing scent in an iconic apple-shaped bottle tempts you to take a bite out of life. A sophisticated blend of apples, exotic flowers and woods creates a fresh, juicy scent that can only be called delicious. (From here)

Yuva Gentle Foaming Cleanser
I only have the travel size when it comes to this skincare beauty but it is easily one of my faves. It is a foam that easily spreads on wet skin and gives a deep clean. I love that this product doesn't leave my oily/ combination skin dry or tight. Yuva is not tested on animals and Australian made and owned! The key ingredients in this cleanser are lavender, sage, rosemary, aloe vera, oakbark and yarrow extracts.


Maybelline Color Elixir Glosses.
These beautiful glosses smell amazing for starters and go on so smoothly. The colours are rich and opaque but not sticky or heavy and long wearing. I only have four of these babies but if we ever get the colours that have been released in America I will absolutely get some more. From Maybelline, A new generation lip lacquer that delivers the creamy shine of a lip gloss, saturated colour of a lipstick and cushiony comfort of a lip balm.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner

I have been loving this liquid lately, I get a short angled eye brush and get the liquid off the applicator and find it so much easier to apply that way, It really is glossy when applied but I set it with a matte black shadow to keep it in place on my oily hooded lids. From Maybelline, Ultra-glossy formula + soft, flexible brush for a smudgeproof line! Dare to shine all day! 

Why You'll Love It

Eye artistry made easy:
- Flexible brush tip, providing ultra-exact and ultra-thin line.
- Smudgeproof and waterproof
- Smooth & even application
- Safe for sensitive eyes and opthamologist tested.
- Contact lens safe.

For Best Results

2 SIMPLE STEPS
1. Line lash line from the inner corner to the outer corner
2. Repeat for a thicker, more dramatic line
