November Favourites

Hey guys!

I’m so excited to be writing another favourites-it feels as though it’s been so so long, as I skipped a month. Despite that, I don’t even have a huge amount of favourites but let’s get into it.

Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liquid Liner

Holy crapola! If you struggle to do eyeliner flicks, this product will literally do them for you. It is so easy to use and creates a perfect line. Tip: wait for it to dry completely before blinking too much, it can transfer onto your lower lash line (easily fixable though, just get a thin eyeliner brush and brush it out).

Victoria’s Secret Strawberries & Champagne

I don’t wear perfumes. I mean, I didn’t even own any before this & I’m not sure why as when I put this on, I actually feel as though my outfit, makeup and hair are complete.

Jordana Blush in Coral Sandy Beach

I found all these Jordana products at a dollar store in NZ, so I thought I would try at least one, and I was not disappointed. I love blushes that are deeper pinks, such as this.

LA Girl Liquid Matte Lipstick in Bazaar

These liquid lipsticks are the bomb.com! I would say more… but something’s coming up.

Model’s Prefer Liquid Light Primer

The seasons have changed and in the southern hemisphere, it’s summer, and in my town it means it’s hot-SO HOT. I have had to change my primers up to something that will prevent my makeup sliding off my face, whilst feeling like I don’t have makeup on. This one is fabulous and does both these things well. Bonus: it also semi fills in pores-does it get any better?

Australis Tint My Brow

Brows are the one thing I always do. I have a routine down however; it’s always exciting to change up products. This brow tint has red undertones, which is great for some people however, I hardly notice them. I feel as though I can wear this alone, without filling my brows in before with a powder, and that’s how I know it’s a damn good product.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

BEST CONCEALER DOWN. Not kidding, I need to buy like 30 backups. It can be used alone, under eyes and even to cover acne. It’s the absolute best and I regret not buying more (but I will find them online somewhere, I’m sure). PS: sorry for my ugly hand. 

Music Faves:

I’m about to do an entire post of all of my current favourite songs, so you can look forward to that (if you want to). But I will say, Love Me Like You by Little Mix is so good, you should take a listen.

Hope you liked! Xx 

Models Prefer Lipstick Swatches

Hello!

Recently I was at Priceline and saw these Models Prefer lipstick packs for $5 each. I bought both and decided to do a lipstick swatch post.

The lipsticks are a creamy formula and are amazing quality for around $1.70 each. The bright colours are very opaque and although the nude colours all kind of look alike, they are all incredible!

Anyway, onto the swatches:

Top: Heartbreaker, Forbidden Kiss, Va-va Voom

Bottom: Sweet Dreams, Kisschasy, Paparazzi Pink

There you go! Hope you liked these swatches and I would definitely recommend these, you can pick them up from Priceline!

My Current Makeup Brushes

Hello everyone! It feels like so long since I have sat down and written a blogpost. I don’t know about you, but I love makeup brushes. Although I don’t own an insane amount, I do own quite a few. My favourite brand of makeup brushes is Real Techniques, which I buy off of iHerb. As I live in Australia, it’s a much cheaper alternative. For an even cheaper option, you could buy Jessup Brushes off ebay. It’s about $12 for a set, and they’re amazing quality.

My makeup brushes change so often, so I thought I’d tell you about my current ones.

Face Brushes

I use two different ones, depending on what I feel like. This Jessup flat top brush is amazing. It doesn’t shed often and is great for applying foundation. I also use this Real Techniques Buffing Brush, which is just as good.

Contour Brushes

For contouring, I either use Models Prefer Angled Brush, or Real Techniques Contour Brush. These are both very good, but I prefer the angled brush as it has more bristles and is a bit more stable.

Powder Brush

I love this Revlon Kabuki Brush, although the only problem is that it is black which means I had to wash it a couple of times before to let the ink out. It also sheds quite a bit.

Blush Brush

Real Techniques Multi Task Brush is so good for blush, you buy it in the Travel Essentials pack and can be used for a lot of different things.

Concealer & Highlighter

I use these two foundation brushes to dab on my concealer or to highlight my brow bone, nose and cheeks. These are both by Real Techniques, and I don’t think I have ever used them for foundation.

Eye Brushes

I have to be honest, I don’t do eye shadow often. I have quite a lot of them, surprisingly. These are the brushes I use when I do decide to do my eyes. They range from Jessup, to Real Techniques.

Those are my current brushes, I might do an update of these, if my brushes change dramatically in the future.

Have a good week! x
