I hope this post finds you well. Its been two months since being able to tell you about my beauty favourites and I really cannot believe that it not only been such a long time but that also the end of the year is a month away!!! Given its been such a big gap I do have a lot to talk about so I am going to jump straight in.
Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous 30ml 210 Medium Beige
This has been a go to over the last couple of months it just lends itself to so many occasions. As an everyday foundation I love applying it with a stipple brush buffing it into the skin which gives such a light and natural finish to the skin but one that gives a decent amount of coverage and lasts all day. Applied with a real techniques foundation brush or buffing brush I find I get a medium to full coverage finish which has been my go to for a long day at work and a recent friends wedding and as it does not contain SPF it also is great for photos. I love that is applies so smoothly, blends flawlessly and that it lasts all day without a need for a lot of touch ups.
Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr Nude Skin Perfecting Medium
Coverage Foundation in 200 Soft Beige
I am not sure what made me pick this up again but I forgot how great it is as an everyday foundation it’s a medium coverage that applies easily and blends flawlessly it also lasts a long time. It also stands up to heat and humidity without budging.

As you may know I am a long time user and lover of the fair shade in this range which with its slight pink undertone is great for both concealing and brightening the under eye area and also doubles as a great eye shadow primer as well. After a long time I have now discovered the medium shade this has more of a yellow undertone and while it is great for helping conceal under eye circles it is perfect for all the other problem areas as well redness, blemishes pigmentation be gone!! These two work great in combination they are also easy to apply and blend.
Thin Lizzy 6 in 1 professional powder in the shade
light.
So after watching a youtube video a while back, that compared this to the much loved hoola by beniefit. I was interested to pull this out of my draw and give it another try. This product has received a lot of mixed press over the years and I was lucky enough a while back to end up with a freebie through the job that I had at the time. I had used it on an off as a bronzer as I never really trusted its 6 in 1 claim but I have to say it has been in the back of my draw for a long time. I have never used hoola myself but after watching the video and seeing how great it looked as a contour I just had to try. It makes for a great contour and great all over bronzer. The product isn’t matte but it isn’t glittery either so it is great for everyday it is easy to apply and is buidlable have really been loving this new discovery.

Designer Brands Cosmetics Pro Contour Palette
This caught my eye while scrolling through Instagram one day and even though I don’t use my other contour palette that much something just made me want to check it out. Needless to say I picked it up just after Melbourne cup and not really put it down since. It’s great for travel the palette itself is quite compact and the mirror on the inside of the lid is really handy. Like most contour palettes on the market there are three highlight shades and three contour shades. But unlike the others all these powders are all matte and unlike the more popular contour palettes they aren’t as pigmented now don’t take the previous statement as a negative this is what I actually love about this one. With the other palettes I have tried , you have to have such a light hand when picking up the product and I often find myself taking so much time to blend out so it looks natural. With this palette pigmentation is medium which I find easier to get the perfect contour that I can build if I need too I am also finding that these contour colours suit my skin tone better less grey and orangeness going on.

Models Prefer Infinite Colour Shadow Pencil in the
shade Down to Earth
This is a really easy to use shadow pencil that has become my go to recently. It makes for such as easy all over lid colour which is great for when I am pressed for time or really need to look polished fast. Blended out with a brush or finger and paired with brown or black liner this is a really easy to wear and work appropriate look. Down to earth is a taupe bronze shade that has a metallic sheen finish that can be applied as a light wash of colour or built up and once dried it does not budge. I also makes a great base for shadow.

Covergirl Intensify Me Intense Black Liquid Liner in
300
This inky black liner is the newest product available from covergirl and offers a new innovation to the world of eyeliners its rounded paddle shaped tip allows the versatility of having your liner be thin or think depending on how you hold your pen. While it takes a little bit to get used what I love about this liner is that it applies jet black and stays all day without fading to grey and even with a rounded tip it isn’t hard to create the perfect wing.

Covergirl liquilineblast in the shade 460 Green Glow
I am not actually sure why I picked this up I don’t usually go for such a bright colour but this has become my go to pop of colour over black liner this month. I really have worn it a lot and it was fun to pair it with orange shadow for a simple Halloween look as well. These liners are true to the colour in the tube and glide on so easily and do blend but you do have to work quick as they do dry down and don’t really budge after that.

W7 Zoom More Volume Mascara in Black
I usually reserve talking about a mascara for mascara madness post but this one is a great every day choice that I thought was worth sharing with you know. This mascara is from w7 which so far I have only found stocked at chemist warehouse it also is slightly cheaper than most brands on the market and from memory I picked this up for about $6. The rubber wand coats and seperates lashes without leaving excess product behind or clumping your lashes along the way it gives great volume and definition and is quick to apply which is what makes it such a great everyday choice.

Max Factor Colour Intensifying
Balm 40 Exquisite Caramel
I had recently seen these balms in a few videos from Jodi from Goo Roo Beauty and they had just caught my eye as I was looking for something for a few upcoming events but also something to glam up an every day look. I picked one up when I say them on sale for I think 30% off. Exquisite Caramel is really a my lips but better colour which pairs with any makeup look whether it be simple or glamour. The product goes on smooth has medium pigmentation isn't too glossy and lasts a long time its so easy to apply and being so compact great for a clutch purse when going out.
e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set
I have been looking for a makeup setting spray for a while and purchased this one when making my last iHerb order. Not only is this great for helping your makeup last longer, As the weather has gotten hotter this is a great cooling finish to any makeup application whilst also great for helping your makeup to not slide off in the heat. It definetly makes a difference to the longevity of your makeup look.
Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Water
As I said earlier in this post I have really been getting into black liner and even layering my liner which at the end of the long day is a little harder to get off. As usual I have a few micellar waters on the go so I do switch between and this one is the one that I keep reaching for it not only is simple (ha ha ) to use it also is really gentle on the eyes. Eye makeup including black liner just comes straight off and I find I don’t have to constantly swipe to get everything. Its also great for getting the rest of my makeup off and it doesn’t leave a residue on the skin.
