August Favourites

In this post I have some new products, along with some old favourites.





I have been using coconut oil for years , it is a Holy Grail product for me that I cannot be without. In fact it was featured in my second blog post! I have many uses for this miracle oil that include hair treatment, body moisturiser, hand cream, and of course cooking with. I also put it in coffee instead of sugar. It isn't overly sweet, but adds flavour so I don't feel the need for sugar. 

I always buy the Banaban brand. Not only is it decently priced when bought in bulk, by doing so, I am also supporting the people from the Banaban island who have lost so much from mining of their land. For more info read here.


Silk Naturals Stick Em Eye Primer.

I've spoken about this primer before, but to quickly recap, it is a sticky base that I am never without when applying loose mineral eye shadows.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in "Barely Branded"

I've been using this Color Tattoo on my lid, especially on the weekend when I wear minimal makeup. It is a lovely neutral shade that gives a nice sheen, whilst brightening my lid. 

Lasts all day, and goes on well with a synthetic eye shadow brush.

Also is a great base for powder eye shadows, making them last longer.


JLO "Glo in the Dark"

I've been loving this perfume. It is sweet, yet dark and sensual. I will have a review in the near future.
Lily Herbaceuticals Facial Oil.

Facial oil is now a staple in my evening skincare routine. It is fantastic for providing my dehydrated skin with much needed moisture, even being a combination skin type. Being the last step in my routine, it has plenty of time to absorb into my skin, and my skin loves it!

Lily Herbaceuticals Facial Oil is something that was love at first use. It's not heavy and feels so luxe on the skin. I think the bottle looks pretty good, too. Will have a review in the not too distant future.


Silk Naturals Kisser Slicker in "Winter Rose"

Another favourite to show you from Silk Naturals. It's quite a sheer lipstick, but adds just enough colour and a lovely sheen. It has a cooling effect and soothes my lips. A nice change to some of the more drying lipsticks that I have been wearing.
Pretty Little Liars

I have begun watching this series again because it has been a year or so since I watched and needed a recap before watching newer episodes. I am addicted and frustrated by the mystery of A, lol.
The Bachelor

I love reality tv. I can't imagine how the ladies put themselves in a situation to compete for one man. But, I am happy to watch it all unfold. Lol. I'm hoping Sam picks Heather.

Well, that was my favourites for August :)

      Yeah, I needed to start using my Color Tattoos, they've been collecting dust for way too long. It sounds like you are being enabled by my perfume reviews, lol. It's only fair, I guess as my list of lipsticks that I want after reading your reviews is getting ridiculously long, lol xx

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
