October Favourites 2013

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful October and enjoyed getting into the halloween spirit. I can't even believe that it's November already like where did the time fly?! Nothing extra interesting happened in the month of October for me which is kind of sad {I was probably recovering after the one direction concert I went to in September}. And I was super bummed out that I didn't get the chance to try out any "new" beauty products because I was trying to save my money, nonetheless I recovered some oldies and discovered a couple of newbies that I have been using and loving in the month of October.

Vineyard Peach Body Butter 

The Body Shop 

I nearly forgot that I had this body butter in my collection but it has always been my favourite. It smells like fresh peaches and boy does it make me hungry because it smells SO good! I usually use it on my arms and legs and it sinks in so quickly, hydrates them and leaves them so smooth. I was so devo when I found out that it was a limited edition body butter and is not sold anymore! :'(

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara

I have been using this mascara everyday this month because it gives my short, stubby lashes a nice lift {with the help of Mr eyelash curler}. It's also waterproof which is fantastic because I don't get home after work looking like a racoon.

Australis Eyeshadow Primer

Australis

I have been using this eyeshadow primer ever since I got it {First haul here} and have been loving it. It makes my eyeshadows stay in place all night which is it's main purpose. Definitely loving this one. 

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm {Pink Blossom}

Burt's Bees

I have always loved Burt's Bees lip balms and I decided to try the tinted lip balm. They give a nice pigmented colour which is build-able which is perfect for adding a little colour to the face without going overboard in heavy lipsticks. Love it!

Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

Yes To Carrots

These towelettes remove dirt, sweat and make up AND they smell like cucumbers! They are also Oil-free, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic which is wonderful for my acne prone skin. What I like about these face wipes are that they actually get all my makeup off so easily leaving it feel fresh.

And these are my favourite beauty products for the month of October. What were your beauty favourites?

Australis Haul

Hi everyone!
So, the other day I had the most random urge to visit Priceline Pharmacy to check out all their cosmetics which are currently on sale because its September in Australia which means "30 Days of Fashion and Beauty" is underway!

Im not going to lie when I said that I had no idea what I wanted to buy, I kind of just walked around and looked at everything until I saw something that caught my eye! As I walked past the Australis display I remembered that I have never actually given the Australian cosmetic brand a try and decided to look through their range.

And as if its pink and black colour scheme on the packaging hadn't won me over already, the fact that they had products that none of the other displays had, just made me want to buy everything. For example, I didn't see any types of setting sprays in other make up displays until I got to the Australis stand.

I have never used Australis before and I bought these products in the spare of the moment so I'm not 100% sure if they do their duties to the best of their ability! I only bought these products because I didn't own similar products at home.

From left to right: Eyeshadow Primer, Lip Treatment Trio,  Colour Corrector - green, Matte Me - Lipstick Mattifying Base, Make-up Finishing Spritz and Conceal Correct 4-In-1 Palette.

So these are the products I ended up getting!

{1} Eyeshadow Primer: Normally my eyeshadows don't last all day and I have been on the hunt for an eyeshadow primer and this was the first one that I saw that was in my price range. I have tried this product already and it literally just glides onto your eyelid.

{2} Lip treatment Trio: I think they had a special offer because I ended up getting this product as a freebie! It has three different sections - the green is an exfoliator, the white is a moisturiser and the pink is a gloss! I think its a good concept and it smells like lemonade which is a bonus.

{3} Colour Corrector: I got this product because its supposed to reduce the redness of blemishes and uneven skin tone. I have tried different green concealers before but they have all been a creamy texture, and I decided to give this one a go because it is a liquid concealer.

{4} Matte Me - Lipstick Mattifying Base: There have been many times where I want to wear matte lipstick and end up being disappointed because they don't end up lasting as long as I want them to. I got this so that my lipstick will last longer as well as enhance the colour.

{5} Make-up Finishing Spritz: I have always wanted a setting spray so that my make up can last longer all day and I'm glad that I found this because it is infused with aloe vera and rose water and smells absolutely amazing.

{6} 4 - In - 1 Concealer Corrector Palette: This concealer palette is compact which is really good because you can take it anywhere. It has four shades - purple to hide dark circles, green to cover up redness, and two skin tones concealers to even out skin tone.

And thats it, I hope you enjoyed my first haul!
Let me know your thoughts on Australis cosmetics.
Have a lovely day!
