July Favourites

Hello Hello! 

Welcome back to my blog and hope you've had good week so far! Today's post is a early July favourites! I have been loving quite a few products this month so bare with me! 

The first products I want to talk about are all these concealers! If you want to know how I use all these I will leave the link to my 'How to cover dark circles' post at the end of this post. 

Bare Mineral Concealer in Well Rested - this is such a hyped up product but not so much recently and didn't think about picking it up until my friend told me how good it was while we were in Mecca Maxima! 

MAC Pro longwear Concealer in NC15 - perfect concealer for high lighting and using under your eyes. It's so light weight and a very thin consistency so it will not crease under your eyes!

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla - Perfect for highlighting and spot concealing, I absolutely am in love with this. This is a much more thicker consistency then the MAC concealer and I feel covers more.

Napoleon Perdis Might Concealer Stick in Mellow Yellow - This brightens up under my eyes like crazy and really helps to make me look super awake! Defiantly recommend this if you struggle concealing your under eye circles or love/ need that brightened look.

Napoleon Perdis Concealer Primer - I apply this under my eyes before applying anything, this also helps in brightening and prevents creasing.

 This has been my go to blush for July! It's the elf cosmetics blush in Innocence. 

It's perfect everyday color to add a simple flush to your cheeks. I feel as if this goes with any look I'm wearing from very subtle to an intense night time look. Best of all it's about $2! 

 Next is a NYX single shadow in True Taupe. I've been wearing nothing but this through my crease just for an everyday subtle look. It just give a subtle definition to the lid.
You can add a small amount of this and it also is very buildable for a darker color payoff. 

I love these shadows because they feel so buttery and smooth! 

My holy grail eye brow product (for now) is the elf eyebrow kit! You have heard me talk about this before so I wont talk about it too much. 

I use the wax side mostly, but if i have a random gap I will go in with the powder side to fill them in! 

Nars Sheer Glow, need I say more? I never got around to buying the full size but I recently went into Mecca Maxima and asked for a sample and I love it so much and I will be buying the full size as soon as I can. I wore this to my job interview at Myer and it looked amazing!

Let me know if you want me to post a job interview makeup look?!

I have been loving my Stilla In The Light palette so so so much! I want go into too much detail with this because I will be posting a look with this palette in the near future and I will talk about it then!

Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly... Oh. My. Goodness. This is the holy grail shower soap out of all soaps ever. I've found myself wanting to have showers just so I can use my shower jelly. It's smells absolutely amazing, it is literally like showering with a bag of lollies and ugh! I can't describe how much I love this.

Another Lush product and this is their BB Seaweed fresh face mask. I feel like this is so cool (maybe because I keep it in the fridge?) and refreshing on my face. I don't feel as if it's suffocating me although it is thick. I do have one problem that the seaweed chucks like to dry up and fall off when I wear this. But over all I don't care about that and I love this mask soo much!

I apply this once a week on Saturdays with this next product! 

My complete favourite of this month is my Lush H'suan Wen Hua hair treatment. This hair mask works wonders and has completely taken the place of my Maccadamia hair mask.This is a protein mask, including things like eggs, avocado and bananas. My hair was really damaged from bleaching the hell out of it a year back and this has completely transformed my hair. It feels and look so much healthier after using this, I will continue to repurchase this!

I apply this once a week!

I really hope you enjoyed my favourites! What are yours?

Michael Todd Haul/ First Impressions

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog, I hope you are all good!
For about a year now I have been wanting to make a purchase from Michael Todd so finally I decided to visit their site and saw they were having a sale, so around the end of June I purchased the Sensitive Skin Recovery Kit. I received it around 3 weeks after purchase.
I've played with this products for around about a week now so I was able to give a realistic opinion. 
 

Sensitive Skin Recovery Kit 

Honey and Oat Deep Pore Gel Cleanser 

Ingredients and what it claims to do: This honey and oat cleanser removes makeup and impurities and is sulfate free and will not irritate eyes. It also contains refreshing aloe vera juice.
This will leave your skin clean, fresh and hydrated

The cleanser is shown in the picture to the left one thing I love about the packaging is it has a pump bottle so you are able to get just the amount you need. You only need the smallest amount, like whats shows in the photo because you apply a touch of water and it foams up while rubbing it in. This doesn't leave your skin feeling tight which I find with a lot of cleansers, but leaves your skin feeling very refreshed.

 It works amazingly to get my makeup off, what my cleansing wipes doesn't get off this makes up for it!

Cranberry Antiox Toner

Ingredients and what it claims to do: This toner includes antioxidant cranberries and vitamins that fight bacteria and damage that the environment may have caused. It also contains tea tree oil which is fights infections and will help clear your skin. Toner aims to balance out skins pH and this toner does it without stinging or drying out your skin.

I do really wish this toner maybe had a spray or a pump like the cleanser did. To apply this I pour some on to a cotton round or even onto my cleansing wipes then wipe over my face.  When I poured some out for the photo I realized it really just looks like water but it smells absolutely amazing! This also doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight.

 Tropical Fruit Facial Polish 

Ingredients and what it claims to do: The mask includes Papaya and Pineapple Enzymes as a non irritating exfoliant to remove dead skin and impurities.

It exfoliates, moisturizes and firms. 

This product like most exfoliants is it a squeezy tube, which is great. When I put some onto my fingers I thought it was going to be a cream with bigger granules inside, it's actually made up of very tiny granules which is great for sensitive skin because it was harsh at all! 

I absolutely love this this exfoliant and it really does smell like tropical heaven.

Charcoal Detox Mask

Ingredients and what it claims to do: This mask aims to draw out impurities and toxins in your skin using mineral rick charcoal. It also cleans out excess oil and dirt. 

It contains antioxidant green tea, vitamins and black willow tree extract.

Now, first thing I will say is I thought this was going to be a whole lot more thicker. I applied it to my hand to test it and it's very thin and nearly rubs in clear! Saying that this would be great for people that hate the heavy mask feeling.
I have noticed my skin clearing rapidly after using these products and I think it's because of this little beauty. Also with the previous products, masks can also leave your skin feeling dry and tight but this makes me skin feel super moisturized!


Citrus Cream Moisturizer

Ingredients and what it claims to do: This moisturizer contains essentials oils of sweet mandarin orange, tangerine, lemon and lime. It's aim is to achieve a radiant and healthy looking complexion by restoring moisture balance and resurfacing skin texture. 

It also aims to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores.

By the photo you can tell the littlest bit goes the long way with this moisturizer. I don't need much at all to cover my whole face. This is just like rubbing a lemon all over your face, but in a good way? It's amazing leaves your face so fresh and moisturized and you smell like a lemon lolly.  

In conclusion this products are so amazing, and i recommend them 100%
They have skin kits for all skin types, the one i purchased come with the smaller sizes 'Discovery Collection' of products so you can get the feel of them and see if you like them. I think it's a great way discovering new products.
