November Favourites!

I'm so inconsistent with favourites posts, but now I'm on holiday I'm trying my best to be consistent with my posting. Read ahead to learn more about my favourites of late and I hope you enjoy the mini reviews!

1. Sukin Mist Toner: So so refreshing after the shower or on extra hot days. I've heard really great things about rosewater and I think this is what's making my skin glow lately.

2. Sukin Super Greens Facial Scrub: I love using this in the morning, it's very brightening and refreshing. One of my favourite Sukin products, and I'm running out so I definitely need to repurchase soon.

3. Etude House BB Cream: I've been getting back into liquid face products and this BB Cream has been very handy for days I don't have much time to get ready. I usually wear mineral makeup but sometimes when I'm in a rush I don't have time to buff and build. This is really easy to slap on and it dries to a powdery finish so I don't even need to set it. I want to write a review on this soon, so keep an eye out!

4. Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner: I picked this up fairly recently at the Priceline sale but I have to include this in here because I've been wearing winged liner every day since then because it's so easy with the liquid liner!!! I love the tip, it's just so easy and precise. This definitely lived up to the hype.

5. Maybelline Lash Sensational: I did a review on this, and I'm still loving it. I honestly think it gets better with age too. I pretty much carry this with me everywhere.

6. Nude by Nature Lipgloss: I love this lipgloss because it isn't sticky, it gives a lovely natural shine to the lips, it's very hydrating and softening and it's by one of my favourite makeup companies!

7. Nude by Nature Virgin Blush: I've been loving youthful and dewy makeup inspired by Korean idols, and I think this blush helps to complete the look. It's a loose powder which is a little messy, but I think it's worth it.

Klorane Dry Shampoo: A spur of the moment buy and holey moley dry shampoos are amazing?! Where have they been my whole life? I needed something to freshen up my hair before going out with some friends, and this stuff makes my hair smell and look fresh and clean and awesome. I have really long hair that can look a little flat once it gets greasy, so this is great for volume as well as oil control. I'm really tempted to get the Batiste one next but I know I should finish this first.

August Favourites!

Natio Ageless Organic Rosehip Oil, MooGoo Acne Cleansing Cream
 It's been a couple months since I've shared with you my favourites, so I decided to because I've been having some really great luck with my products lately.

Let's start off with my skin care:

The Acne Cleansing Cream by MooGoo has been my skin care saviour for the past few months. I even bought a second one to keep at my boyfriend's to minimise the breakouts. It doesn't have Benzoyl Peroxide, which I used back in the day and it just dried out my skin and made it more sensitive. This has natural ingredients that naturally brighten and lighten my acne scars, and it also keeps my oily skin balanced.

I got the Natio Ageless Organic Rosehip Oil at a Priceline sale, and it has been amazing. I've used RHO before by Trilogy and I've never seen such beautiful and glowy results before. I massage this into my skin before bed and it leaves my skin the softest and the healthiest it has ever been.

Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Toner
I also picked up Thursday Plantation's Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Toner at the Priceline sale, and I wish I'd tried this out years ago, when my acne was at its worst. Since using this I haven't had a single new breakout. I use it pretty much every time after I cleanse my skin, so 2-3 times a day, and it's amazing how much stuff it gets off (that I didn't realise was on my face to begin with). It also smells so fresh and is a great pick-me-up step in the morning.

Choose Chi Chi Eau De Parfum Persimmon
And last of all I wanted to share my new scent with you; I recently finished Chi Chi's Watermelon perfume, and decided to try another one. I'm not one for owning many scents, just because I know I won't be able to get through them all. So I've been wearing this every day, and it smells so sweet and yummy. It smells like lollies straight up when you first spray it, but after it settles into your skin it turns almost musky and floral. An absolute gorgeous scent that lasts, and I'm in love with the packaging too.

So there you go! Feel free to share with me your favourites of the month, and link below your blog if you want me to check it out!

June Favourites



Welcome to my first favourites post! I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve been really enjoying recently, I hope you find this helpful.

1. Dusty Girls by MooGoo Earth Cream - ‘Light’


This amazing tinted moisturiser has been my go to product for months. It has surprisingly nice coverage, and is a perfect blend of skincare meets makeup. The ingredients list is very attractive, with natural goodies that calm and heal the skin.
I like how it’s talc and silicon free, two ingredients I’ve been trying to make an effort to keep out of my makeup stash. Unfortunately finding products without these two ingredients is hard these days, and Dusty Girls is decently priced for the lovely products they produce.

2. Natio Mineral Eyeshadow Trio - ‘Smokey Eye Trio‘


I bought this at a discount makeup shop early this year and I’m so glad I did. Before this I wasn’t an eyeshadow wearer at all, but I’m crazy about this trio. It is probably the most versatile makeup item I own.

I can use it as eyeliner, to tightline, to highlight and contour, to fill in my brows, and of course as eyeshadow. If you have monolids like me, that matte brown in the middle is a godsend.

3. W7 Absolute Lashes Mascara


I got this for five bucks one day I was wandering around Chemist Warehouse, and I’m so glad I picked this up. I kind of got it because it reminded me of Benefit’s They’re Real, and after looking up this mascara apparently a lot of people have named this mascara as a dupe! I think it’s very separating and making my lashes look long and curly but still soft and natural somehow…
I’m very used to using cheapy Essence mascaras which are good, but this mascara has made me realise how clumpy my other mascaras have been. My only issue with this is that I haven’t seen it at many chemists, whereas the Big Lash is everywhere (I picked that one up too, but I haven’t opened it yet because I don’t want it to dry out), and it also wasn’t sealed, so it was kind of a gamble picking it up.

4. Unbranded Teardrop Makeup Sponge


A Beauty Blender ‘dupe’ at first glance, but from the many reviews I’ve seen online, I don’t think this is as squishy and soft as the others. Initially I thought this sponge was rather hard and didn’t seem to perform well at all, but now I’ve kind of ‘broken it in’, it’s softened and I really like it. It stains, but it blends out makeup seamlessly and beautifully. I love the skin-like finish I have when I use this for BB cream and powder. I’ve used this both dry and damp and they’re both good, it’s really a matter of preference. I got mine from Aliexpress in a pack of four, but you can find these everywhere from Ebay to Dresslink.
