May Favourites

Hello all!

It always feels like I go to sit down and write a post and I’m again writing my favourites! It’s so easy to write these posts as I just talk about what I have been loving!

Anyway, onto the goods:

Makeup:

Too Faced Original Chocolate Bar Palette

This was an enabled purchase for me as my sister was at Mecca and texted me saying, ‘do you want choc palette?’ and I said yes. For $65 I think this is a semi-luxury palette but everyone needs it! Firstly, this smells AMAZING and the pigmentation is so good! This palette can create both a natural or creative look.

Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder

Ugh this is the most adorable packaging. I love clean, cut things so this packaging is amazing in my eyes. It looks a bit orangey, but it doesn’t blend out that way. It is extremely blendable and can be used as a light contour. For $ 49 this is an expensive bronzer, however, if you love makeup like me, it’s worth it.

LA Girl Pro Concealer

This is the first concealer I have found that can cover these dreaded dark under eye circles I’ve been getting recently. I think the reason why is because it has a pink undertone. For $3, you can’t go wrong!

Rimmel Blush in Coral

This is an everyday colour that has a smooth payoff. It’s a coral shade that I believe would look good on every skin tone. It is great for adding a bit more warmth to my cheeks.

ELF Highlighter in Gotta Glow

I want to compare this to Nars Albatross as I think they might be the same. It’s perfect for the cheekbones and not at all chalky. I am amazed at how much definition this can give your face.

MAC Painterly Paint Pot

This is holy grail for me! I cannot put eyeshadow on without it first. It covers up all my veins and makes all eyeshadows pop. I would recommend this to everyone who wears eyeshadow as it just makes everything better.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

My lips have been terribly dry and chapped recently and this saved them! It isn’t tacky or liquidy which I love. It is a life saver!

Chichi Viva La Diva Lipstick in O.M.Nude

The perfect nude colour for light skinned girls! It has pink undertones but is mostly brown. The formulation is amazing (on par with MAC), and I need to collect more of these!

Music:

Kendrick Lamar

I love his new (ish) song King Kunta, which tells a historic story through song. It is incredibly catchy and if you have yet to hear it, do now!

Bad Blood Music Video Taylor Swift

PLEASE TAYLOR LET ME BE APART OF YOUR SQUAD IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

Those are all my favourites for this past month, what are yours?

Current Top Five Lipsticks (May 2015)

Hello guys!

It has been too long! I’m so sorry and wish I had more time because I really do love blogging, but I’ve been stressed recently due to uni work and money and have just wanted to sit around doing nothing all day. Yep.

Anyway, I’m back in the ball game! Let’s talk lipsticks! Everyone loves them-especially me- and although I don’t wear it every day (although I have enough to last me 200 years), I love them too! So what are my current top five lipsticks?

Mac Diva

This was my first Mac lipstick and since then, I have bought 3 more! This is a matte formulation so it stays on throughout dinner (I had chicken and avocado with salad and at least 3 drinks), although you made need to touch it up. It’s a beautiful blue-red shade that I think will suit every skintone.

Chi Chi Viva La Diva in O.M.Nude

I have wanted this shade ever since Shannon Harris did her lip swatch video. It is a gorgeous nude with pink undertones which is fantastic on lighter skin as true nudes tend to make most of us look like concealer lips (helloooo 2006 Kris Jenner)

Maybelline Colour Drama in Nude Perfection

This is supposedly a dupe for Mac’s Velvet Teddy, but I can’t say if it is. I can say it is the perfect everyday nude that is great for both lining, and applying! It’s a really smooth consistency and I hope they release more nude shades with this line.

ELF Matte Lip Colour in Tea Rose

This shade has purple undertones in it, so it can really add oomph to a look! I love the smell of these and they taste amazing-I can’t describe it but for $2 you may as well try them yourself!

Rimmel Apocalips Matte Lip Cream in Atomic Rose

This looks like a pink shade but it is so much more coral! They really didn’t get the tube correct but with this formulation you won’t care! It dries matte and still feels creamy! It doesn’t flake off which is a major plus. They need to release more shades, as there’s only four.

Well, those are my top five lipsticks at the moment! I hope you liked this post and if you haven’t checked these out; please do!

iHerb Haul

Hello y’all!

I know I talk about it often, but I love iHerb! Cheap products, fast affordable shipping and great customer service! I have ordered 5 times from iHerb and I don’t think I will ever not order from them!

iHerb is known for selling Real Techniques brushes for their US price, ELF products cheaper than Kmart and Physicians Formula. If it is your first time ordering, you can use this code to get money off: PWM749. They give you a code to give to others after your first order so I don’t get anything from this, so use the code!

Anyway onto the goods:

I picked up another ELF blush in Mellow Mauve. I love these blushes and this colour is gorgeous! It’s a light pinky purple and I’ve never seen a blush like this-at the drugstore, NARS does have a blush that is purple. I also bought this highlighter in Gotta Glow it’s a light yellow colour and is really lovely!

I bought another ELF eyebrow kit. I have one in medium but I bought this in Dark as I wanted a darker powder. The gel is mostly similar to the medium one, yet I haven’t tried the powder yet.

I picked up two lip liners as my collection isn’t at a nice stage yet. I love natural colours as lip liners, and picked up Raisin and Mauve Luxe. They’re both matte (obvs) and I haven’t tried them yet but I am excited to try these out!

I decided to order two of these matte lip colours as I have seen a bit of hype around them. They smell amazing and come in Tea Rose and Natural. These were $2.40 each, which is such a bargain.

I also bought this fan brush as I have been wanting one for a while. These ELF brushes are super affordable and rarely shed! I would definitely recommend ordering some.

Lastly, I ordered this Physicians Formula mascara as I hear Tati from GlamLifeGuru and I am impressed! The packaging is so cute too, and this was only around $7!

Hope you liked this haul, have a great day xx
