April Favourites.


I know I am a little late posting this, but better late than never. This month is absolutely flying by, I haven't really shared to much information about it yet but I am having Breast Augmentation done this Friday which is so exciting, although extremely scary. So for the last few weeks I have been trying to get an assignment done, exercising as much as possible (as I won't be able to for the next two weeks) and organising my wardrobe so I can get rid of all of the clothes that soon wont fit me anymore - which I will definitely be putting on eBay, and I will give you the links if you want to check them out.

For the month of April I fell in love with a few new products, and rediscovered a couple of old ones as well. I have been using a lot of different products during May as well so I will post my May favourites probably late next week!

Clarisonic Mia in Baby Pink - I am so glad I finally decided to get this product. I have been using it for about 2 months and it has improved my skin dramatically. I have acne prone skin and always have, I have never had terrible acne but its not unusual to get a couple of break outs here and there. I feel like since I have been using my Clarisonic Mia that has decreased sufficiently and when I get a break out it goes away much quicker. My skin is left feeling so clean without feeling stripped of the necessary oils. I have been using it with the Neutrogena Acne wash in Grapefruit which I think is pretty good but I will do a more in depth review with this and some good products to use with it.

Soap & Glory Hand Food - I got this travel size hand cream for $5 which I think is such a great price and is the perfect size for my handbag. It smells amazing and doesn't leave my hands feeling sicky.

LumiNail - This month I have been using LumiNail a lot mostly these three colurs; Miami Pink, Carribean Coral and Long Island Lilac. I like these polishes, but I don't think it is the quality of a manicure from a salon as it is easy to peel off if you pick at them the slightest bit. I do like them though and they do last longer than normal nail polish.

MAC Face and Body Foundation - I have been liking this foundation for when I want less coverage than I get from my Pro Long Wear foundation. I use a couple of layers and apply it with a dense powder brush which I might give more detailed review on later. 

MAC 134 Powder Brush - I like this brush for applying MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural or my Nude by Nature powder. Is perfectly dense and wide and easy to use.

MAC Select Cover Up Concealer - I have been using this almost everyday underneath my eyes and the tiniest bit goes a long way. I literally use the smallest amount and still have too much. I really like the way this concealer makes me look much more awake.

LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub - I absolutely love this lip scrub, perfect for regular use without scrubbing too much and leaving your lips sore. My lips always feel soft and absorb lip balm so much better after using this. I have been using this for months, but a lot over the last few weeks and remember why I love it so much.

Jimmy Choo Perfume - I am absolutely in love with this perfume, I have been using it every day without fail and it smells lovely all day. This is definitely my new all time perfume!

March Favourites.



Neutrogena Acne Stress Control
I have been using this face wash for about 6 weeks - and it has definitely made a noticeable change to my skin. I have quite good skin in general, I get occasional breakouts on my chin but I do believe that when I do get them, it is because of stress and/or hormones. This face wash is a cream wash, which makes it easy to use and it makes my skin feel very clean. I will probably do another post on my skin care routine, and will do a bit more of an in depth review on this product then.

LeTan Jet Dry Instant Spray Tan in Bronze
I got this product form Kmart for about AU $7 which I think is pretty great for a decent spray tanning product. I like LeTan products in general, and I think I will also do a self tanning post in the near future so I will share my opinions on a few other LeTan products aswell but basically this is great for if you want to quickly achieve a nice even tan, and it is really easy to use. I am really fussy about the smell of some spray tanning products, but this one doesn't smell bad at all and for the price I definitely have no complaints.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush
As you can see, this brush is a very loved brush and desperately needs to be cleaned. It is great for applying liquid foundations, and I paid about AU $20 which isn't bad for a good quality brush. It looks like it is a bit of a weird shape but that is only because it needs to be washed. 

Moroccan Oil
I have actually posted a review on this product already but I had to add it into my favourites because I have been using it every single day. I love this product because it makes my hair feel so much better and look softer and shiny.

Lola by Marc Jacobs
I have had this perfume for about 6 months, and received it as a gift. I liked it when I received it but I think only recently did I realize how much. I have been wearing it every single day, and I think the bottle is so pretty however, it is annoying to keep in my purse. 

MAC Prep and Prime Translucent Powder
This has definitely been my most recent discovery, which I love. I got it because I love the Prep and Prime Primer, and thought I'd give this one a go because I felt like it was time to use a new powder. I usually dislike powders that aren't pressed because I find them to be way too messy but this one I like because it makes my face look so much better, my pores look smaller. I will probably do another post on just this product, I have been using it for a few weeks but when I have been using it for a little while longer I will do a full review.

Also, I started my first few days of Tiny Tea but decided to stop and start again on Monday as I feel like I am wasting it if I keep using it while I plan on eating bad food, especially since on Thursday night I had a big night with my girlfriends and alcohol and bad food don't usually go well with a detox. I don't need to lose weight, I weigh 55kgs at the moment and my mail goal of the detox is just too detox my body of all the toxins and to give me more energy. I will definitely post an update on my experience when I start using it properly though.
