Bellabox November

Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well. This week Novembers Bellabox has arrived at my door. Due to my internet issues I missed talking about Octobers box and reviewing what I received in September. So this post will just be about the current box and hopefully next month I can be back to my usual reveal and review post. BB for November has arrived with the theme ready set glow and as it definitely has gotten a lot hotter here in QLD over the last month I thought it the perfect theme for the start of summer!! This box is a little lighter than the previous ones but this month we have received a few really exciting products!!!!

Laqa and Co Cheeky Lip in the shade Cray Cray
This is the much talked about hero product for the box this month. Early in the month BB teamed with beauty you tuber Katrina Maree to announce not only its inclusion in the box for every subscriber but also if you got in quick the choice of colour in which you received. I was lucky enough to receive my choice. This cheeky lip is a twist up chubby pencil that is a cream consistency but does dry to a powder finish and it can be used both on the lips and cheeks. Cray cray is a coral/orange colour which in the tube does look quite bright but swatched and blended out it gives a lovely wearable coral pink flush I have not yet used it on the cheeks so not sure about staying power but will get back to you on that next month.

Nyx Baked Eye Shadow in the shade Lavish
I was very excited to see included in the box. I already own a palette of shadows from nyx which I do enjoy using and I have looked at many times but never purchased before their single shadows. Lavish is a metallic gold and perfect for the party season ahead really cannot wait to give this a try. I think this also may make for a good cheek highlight as well. You can also use these both wet and dry!!

Redwin Coconut Balm 
This is a multi purpose balm that includes papaya extract and jojoba oil for deep hydration. This I have received in a previous beauty box so I know its a decent product but not that excited to see this again. I will most likely give this one to a new home.

Ulta 3 Nail Polish in the shade Kiwi Kaos
This is a good inclusion always love a good polish and the ones from Ulta 3 are really great quality. This colour however probably wouldn't have been my first choice but I will try it I just think it will go on my toes!! 

Sebamed Liquid Face and Body Wash received a 20ml sample full size is 300ml.
This is something that I have not seen in a long time and makes me remember my days in pharmacy when I worked in the skin care sections. This wash is unique in the respect that it is pH balanced to the skin whilst being soap and alkali free it helps to balance and moisturise the skin without being harsh and is great for any one but particularly those with sensitivities.  

Bic Soleil Glow Razor 
This is the bonus product for the box this month. This 3 blade razor has a comfort shield to effortlessly glide over the skin as well as a lubricating strip infused with vitamin E and aloe to pamper the skin. I do have a razor that I use consistently but I do always like a disposable one for travel so will add this to my toiletries bag. 

So that ends BB for November. As I said some great inclusions in this months box and I am very happy to give everything a try. Until the next one happy reading and happy shopping.

Empties Hits and Misses #2

Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well. I am sorry it has been so long between posts but so many things have gotten in the way that getting a post up every week again just hasn't been feasible. Hopefully I have worked eveything out and it wont be so long till the next one!!!.

So I did this post back in February and given it usually takes me forever to finish anything I didn't think I would be doing another one anytime soon but my bag has gotten pretty full and so I thought I better put down my thoughts before I take out the trash!!

Misses!!!
Pantene Shampoo Aqua Light 750ml.
I had originally been introduced to this by one of the beauty boxes and I really enjoyed the sample so the next time I saw it on special I bought the full size. Have no idea why but I didn't seem to get the same results as the full size and I got about half way through this one and switched to something else my other half ended up using the rest he didn't mind it.

John Frieda Beach Blonde Cool Dip Shampoo and Smooths Seas Conditioner sample size 50ml.
This is another beauty box shampoo and conditioner introduction and once again I really liked this at first I found it cleaned my hair really well and the conditioner made my hair feel really soft. But it was the third time I used it I got a real hit of the mint that is in these products and I found my scalp and skin tingling it wasn't the most pleasant sensation and it lasted for quite a while post wash as you can see there not empty but I am throwing them out anyway!!

Hits!!!
Imperial Leather Foam Burst Foaming Shower Gel Tropical Sunset 200g
If you don't know already from reading my blog I discovered these last year and I am a big fan. These are a great shower gel. The product itself is so soft and smooth a little goes a long way and they  wash well. The instant foam action means its also great for shaving. So quick and easy love this edition to my shower.

Johnson's Body Care Mosturising Body Wash 1L
I was introduced to this earlier in the year when staying at a friends place even though I had been prepared and packed my toiletries bag I had forgotten to replace my shower gel which I had finished on a previous trip. Luckily this shower gel was already in the shower so I 'borrowed' a bit for my shower that night. The scent was so soft and the product itself lathered perfectly and cleaned well I was impressed and couldn't walk past it the next time I was in the shops.

Rexona women long lasting protection stress control antiperspirant deodorant 50ml roll on.
This featured in my last empties post so I wont babble too much but I will say its still working effectively, I still enjoy using it and I will probably keep repurchasing.

Formula 10.0.6 Seriously Shine Free Mattifying Oil Free Moisturiser 75ml
I have written about this a couple of times and you will often see it featured in my instagram fotd's its one of the best moisturisers I have found that not only helps keep me matte but also moisturises sufficiently its great under foundation as well as on its own it not only combats my oily T zone but also helps moisturise the dry areas on my forehead. I have already repurchased!!!

Physicans Formula Nude Wear Touch of Glow Nude Glow Concealer
I have enjoyed every last bit of the concealer and I was sad when the bow on the lid broke but I was devastated when I realised I had used it up and didn't have a back up :(. This concealer is so light and creamy great for brightening up under the eyes but also doubled as a highlighter it just goes on so smooth and blends so easily. I haven't bought another on the basis that I want to use others up now but definitely on the repurchase list.

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Oil Free Foundation in the shade 210 Medium Beige
Love this foundation worth the all the hype that came with it and I couldn't pick up another fast enough when I realised this was finished I have had so many misses with foundation of late that its nice to have one in the collection that you know you can put on anytime and it just looks perfect every time. This applies, blends and builds perfectly it smooths the skin and looks flawless and it doesn't cake. If you want to try something new give this a go.

On the Fence!!
Innoxa Skin Perfecting Pore Vanishing Cream 10ml
Now this product has been much talked about and definetly received a lot of hype and for many its a holy grail product but after using the entire tube I am still on the fence. As I have mentioned before my T zone is quite oily and the pores on my nose prominent. So in reality it takes a lot more than vanishing cream to make them disappear. It s just some days I felt like it didn't help to minimise the appearance of my pores and I found with some foundations I would find separation in the areas I had applied yet other days I would look smooth and flawless. On the plus side though definitely helped makeup last longer on my skin. I also wouldn't repurchase as 10ml for $18 is quite pricey in my mind.

So that end all the empties I hope you enjoyed and until my bag fills up again Happy reading and Happy shopping!!

Mascara Madness #12

Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well. I'm sorry for the delay in my posts but problems with my internet connection have not been faring me well. Hopefully it is fixed now and I can get back to regular blogging. So I thought I would start with a post I haven't posted in a while!! Mascara Madness where I take the pitch of the advertising of a mascara and compare it to the reality of the performance!!!  

Rimmel Wake Me Up Wonder'Full 001 Black 

The Pitch: Rimmel's first mascara with vitamins & cucumber extract, that helps lashes feel more nourished throughout the day and instantly energises with its light and refreshing scent Precision brush with soft, lash-hugging fibres smoothly wraps each and every lash with clump-free volume, stretching them all the way up from root to tip.

The Reality: As the pitch says this is a very light mascara and it doesn't leave your lashes hard or crunchy even after building a few layers. While the brush definitely lifts and separates the lashes the large wand can be tricky to maneuver and swipe too quickly and you will end up with clumps. 




Loreal Miss Manga Mega Volume in the shade Black

The Pitch: Miss Manga Mascara builds 15 times the volume of natural lashes, both top and bottom. Lashes are amplified for wider, bigger and more open doll like eyes. Eyes are 
instantly opened and widened for the ultimate Manga Doll Eye look. Featuring a cone shaped, flexible brush that is thin at the tip, 360 degree application becomes effortless as the brush can easily capture both long and short lashes


The Reality: The conical shaped brush is definitely what sets this mascara apart from the others and it really does help to catch and fan out every lash as well as making it easy to apply mascara to the bottom lashes as well. While it does help to amplify and volumise the lashes the 15 times is a little advantageous of its pitch. However it does have a smooth application without clumps, my only problem with this mascara is that I did find over time it does flake a little particularly in the heat. 

Maybelline Lash Sensational 

The Pitch: A revolution in mascaras, Lash Sensational The secret is our Fanning Brush which reaches every single layer of lashes for a lash-multiplying effect. The result, Thick beautifully fanned-out, sensational looking lashes 

The Reality: While the mascara itself applies well for me it wasn't the sensation I was hoping for. A lot of hype came with this mascara and it really didn't live up to my expectations. The brush is hard to use and I did find it would easily clump. The formula itself is also quite wet taking a bit of time to dry. Not a favourite.

Max Factor Masterpiece Max in the shade Black

The Pitch: Masterpiece Max creates bold thick lashes for chic beautifully framed eyes, The IFX brush delivers 4x more volume vs. bare lashes. Smudge-proof and touch-proof for all day confidence.

The Reality: What this advertising pitch says is really what you get with this mascara. It applies so easily and it really does volumise the lashes with ease giving the lashes both volume and definition without looking  over done. It also doesn't clump or flake in the heat. 


So that ends this mascara madness, I hope you enjoyed this post and if your in the market for a new mascara that this post helps you choose your next one. Until next time Happy Reading and Happy Shopping.

Bellabox September

Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well. Another Bellabox arrived at my door during the week which while it was a little late this month but it did show up just before my birthday so I was happy to have a surprise to open in advance of the day. This month I have decided to change things up and I won't be doing a review of the last box. Its not that I didn't enjoy all the products I was sent for August but I thought just for a change and to make this post a little shorter even though there is a lot of products in the box this month!!!!

Jurlique Purely Age Defying Firming Treatment Mask received one mask full size is a pack of 5
This is a regenerative and restorative mask that says it has multi benefits to help reduce the visible appearances of fine lines and wrinkles whilst restoring skin elasticity, firmness and radiance. Interested to try Jurlique is a brand that I always enjoy there products happy to give this one a try.

Paula’s Choice Clinical KP Treatment Cloths received a pack of 10. Full size is a pack of 60 wipes

These cloths are designed to improve the appearance of the skin. They contain both salicylic and lactic acid to help smooth the skin, eliminate bumps and reduce redness. I am really interested to try these ones. I have never seen a product like this before so it will be interesting to see how they work.

Derma E Vitmamin E Oil 14,000 IU recived a full size 60ml.

This is an all purpose vitamin E oil that helps to moisturise and soften dry skin as well as helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I have not used a vitamin E product in the longest time so am very happy to see this one and give it a try.

Milani Cosmetics received a Secret Cover Concealer Stick in the shade 04 Deep
This concealer says it is a maximum coverage product that helps to cover all skin discolouration, conceal blemishes, scars and under eye circles.  So while I am happy to see a milani cosmetics product I am a little disappointed that this isn’t a colour that suits my skin tone. Deep is going to be way to dark for me and while I could use it as a cream contour I may see if I can find it a better home first.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. Received a 5g tube full size is 50g.

This moisturiser is a water gel that is designed to release moisture continuously for 24 hours keeping skin plump and supple. It also has a light weight formula.  Happy to see this one included this month I have tried the SPF 15 version previously and enjoyed it so happy to see how this performs.

Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E. Received a 5ml sachet sample full size is 250ml

This is the bonus product this month and to be honest not that exciting these sachets seem to just get thrown in I have now received so many over time.  Also having  already received two other moisturising products in the box this month it’s a bit overloaded.

So that ends September bellabox. Happy with the products I received a very full box this month.  I hope you enjoyed this shorter type post. Let me know if you prefer to see the review of the previous months box return. Would love to know your thoughts!! 

Until next post Happy Reading and Happy Shopping.

A Healthy "Summer" Glow!!

Hey Readers, 
I hope this post finds you well!! Earlier in the month I was contacted by the social media representative from Aloha.com who asked me if I was interested in writing a post about my tips to achieving a healthy "summer" glow all year round. While they were very happy for me to put a makeup focus on this one. At the same time they also wanted me to incorporate my favourite healthy recipe. While makeup I love and can write about. Food and cooking really isn't my strength!! Aloha however have a great section on their website for recipes!! That look so yummy even I want to try!!  So as you can probably tell by now Aloha are a company that are focused on everyone being able to lead a healthy lifestyle and their website promotes being able to do this in the most simple, easiest and honest way. Their website is really easy to navigate and has a great easy to read magazine that I have enjoyed reading over the last couple of weeks. 

OK so onto my top makeup products to achieving a healthy "summer" glow all year round!!! 

Now for me living in a Australia where we get summer pretty much all year round anyway,  I am always looking for a good option when it comes to protecting my skin from the sun, heat and all the other effects it can have on the skin. While tanning can give that gorgeous glow to the skin there's a fine line between brown and burnt and in all honesty neither is good for the skin any way!! At the same time though for a day of fun in the sun I want something that looks natural, protects my skin and at the same time giving me a sun kissed glow before I've left the house.


Chi Chi Super CC Cream with Caviar Extract SPF 30 Shade Medium.
After loving the BB cream in the same line I just had to try this one. It really is more than just a CC or Colour Correcting cream. It has a light to medium buildable coverage that goes on smooth, evens out your skin making it look flawless. Its also light weight and even with the SPF 30 it doesn't feel or smell like sunscreen. It gives the skin a nice beachy glow which is always nice even if your not spending a day out in the sun and it does all this without making me look too oily. 

OK so these next products are for when I want a glowy look but I want to be a little more selective about it!!!!

Initially you would look at the next two products I am going to talk about and think yeah seen heaps of youtubers rave about those great for hiding dark under eye circles. At the same time most probably don't look at concealer and instantly think of glowy makeup. But trust me these two can do both. 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser Concealer 10 Fair.
OK so I have raved on about this enough over the years so I won't go on too much more but I have to say great for covering dark under eye circles and brightening up the under eye area. At the same time it has gotten a little bit too light over time particularly when I am a bit tanned so I love applying this over lightly applied foundation cheek bones, a little above the brows, down the centre of the nose, cupids bow and on the chin. A great matte highlight but blended out with a little more foundation gives you look a great glow from within. The sponge tip makes it so easy to apply and the product itself is so creamy and blendable.

Rimmel Match Perfection 2 in 1 concealer and highlight in 060 Natural Beige.
Like the maybelline instant rewind this concealer is great for under the eyes and because the colour matches my skin tone a little better,  I love just applying it to the areas I want highlighted blending out when I am on the go. It just gives a soft highlight to the skin that looks natural and its brush application makes it so easy to use.

Now you all know by now that I love a good multitasking make up product and these next three do just that. They add colour, warmth and of course glow to any makeup look they stand alone as well as pair well with others and two of them are great not only on the face but dusting down your neck and decolletage as well!!!

Youngblood Mineral Raidance in the shade Sundance
This is a gorgeous blush, bronzer and highlight that adds just a beautiful warm glow to any makeup look. It is shimmery but it isn't too overpowering. As you can see in the photo it is well loved and I love it particularly because you can customise the shade easily dipping your brush into just one or two of the colours but I do also love them swirled together. It is quite pigmented and at the same time easily blended. Which is also great along the decolletage area for a bit of extra glow on a night out.

Me Me Me Goddess Rocks Luxury Bronzing Rocks 
These are gorgeous little pebbles of gold, copper and bronze that used with a fluffy brush give a perfect all over glow to the face and body. I love the glow that it gives and great when you just want a simple sweep of something all over the face. They are a little glittery and powder can get all over the bathroom bench but the finished look is worth it.

Maybelline FaceStudio Master Highlight Hi-Lighting Blush in the shade 30 Coral  
I have not owned this for long but I include it as its the first blush highlight I have been instantly impressed with in a long time. Its got just enough blush/highlight mix that it gives the perfect amount of colour and highlight to the cheeks not too overpowering with shimmer or pigmentation easy to apply and great for everyday.

Now the last product I want to talk about before this post gets too long!! Is the quickest and easiest way to add a natural glow  to your makeup I have found yet. 

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter 
This little pencil from Chella is so easy to use and its pencil application is accurate and easy to apply the product itself is quite creamy and easy blend out even if its just with your fingers!! When I am in a rush or just want an instant brightening to my makeup I love applying this to the inner corners of the eyes and a little on the cheeks blended out. It also pairs well with bronzer for an easy highlight contour look. 

So that ends this post on my top products for a healthy summer glow I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I have enjoyed writing this one. Thanks to Aloha.com for asking me to write this one. Don't forget to check out their website!! Until next post happy reading and happy shopping!!

The Parcel by Marie Claire Special Anniversary Edition

Hey Readers,
I hope this post finds you well!! This weekend I am here with the new edition of the parcel by Marie Claire. Now I know I should be saying that this is the Spring edition but this month month/year Marie Claire magazine has turned 20 and to celebrate they not only have launched a special edition of the magazine but also have created a special edition of the parcel. As I too have a birthday this month I was really excited to receive this one and could not wait to open it to see what was inside. 

Now I just have to say that after looking at all these products I did have a sense that I had seen this all before!! Its not that I have received this products in another box nor have I purchased any of them previously BUT they are all advertised in the birthday edition of the magazine so I thought I would use the magazine as my backgrounds for all my pictures this post (I hope Marie Claire don't mind) and I hope you like the new backgrounds too!!! 


Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum received a 10ml deluxe sample full size is 30ml
This serum is said to be a multi tasker that can understand your skins needs and is able to provide custom damage repair. Able to help reduce inflammation, wrinkles. Repair uneven skin tone and dullness. Interested to try I have been thinking it would be nice to find a product that helps all those skin issues I certainly have redness and uneven areas that could use some help.

Loreal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick received one in the shade 377 Perfect Red
Its a Happy 30th Birthday to Loreal this year and earlier this year to celebrate they have released 30 colour riche lipsticks in 3 different finishes (satin, matte and cream). I received 377 Perfect Red which is a gorgeous bright and bold red. Not being a lipstick wearer it is a bit bright for my liking but I will probably be able to find it a good home. 

St Tropez Gradual Tan in Shower received a 50ml deluxe sample full size is 200ml.
This is the first ever in shower tan!!! It promises a streak free, gradual glow that also hydrates. Ok you know my deal by now I don't fake tan as a general rule but I have to say this stuff I want to give a try I am very interested to see if it works and if it does I feel its the perfect solution for some one like me who won't really take the extra time to fake tan or that time poor person who needs a quick fix!!

John Frieda Frizz Ease Smooth Start Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner received a 250ml tube of each.
This shampoo and conditioner combination is said to help block frizz whilst in the shower. Enriched with olive oil this said to smooth strands, replenish moisture and help hair to defend against humidity. Have not tried a John Frieda shampoo or conditioner before so happy to be able to give it a try also happy that its more that just a sachet sample my hair is quite long at the moment so its nice to have enough sample to cover all my hair.  

MOR Rosa Noir Hand and Body Milk received a 50ml deluxe sample full size is 500ml
This hand and body milk combines shea butter and macadamia oil to deeply nourish the skin. The scent is a combination of wild rose, hibiscus and fig. Interested to see what this is like and I am also hoping that the scent isn't too strong being a milk I am also hoping its a little lighter than a general moisturiser as coming into the warmer weather I tend to prefer a lighter option.

Redwin Coconut Balm received a full size 25g  
This is a 100 percent certified organic coconut oil balm. This is another multi tasking product as it says it will help repair dry hands, heal elbows and lips. Soothe cuts, burns and insect bites. Interested to try once again hoping the scent isn't too strong I don't usually choose coconut scented products. 

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge EDP received a 1.5ml spray sample full size is 50ml.
This is a new feminine fragrance from Estee Lauder that combines red roses with ripe fruit and velvet creme.  First impressions of this one is its quite a soft scent not too sweet and not too over powering. 

So that ends the contents of this parcel and I am excited to try everything out. And cannot wait till the next one. I hope you are having a good weekend and until next post Happy reading and happy shopping!!!

August/September Favourites

Hey Readers, 
I hope this post finds you well. Originally I thought I was getting in early as I wrote most of this post half way through last month but sadly my wedding planning took over and I was never able to add pictures and have this post go live. So I thought I would add a few products that I have been loving from this month and just tell you about all the stuff I've been loving from both August and September!!!!

Maybelline 24hour Color Tattoo in the shade 25 Bad to the Bronze 
This has been my go to shadow since I bought it and its one product that has left me wondering what I did before I owned it. It just the perfect all over lid colour that is so easy to apply. The product is soft and creamy and blends easily over the lid just with your fingers so simple and liner mascara and your out the door!!! It also pairs well with most of the other eyeshadows in my collection, it also lasts all day and is fairly easy to remove. 

Essence I Love Nude Eyeshadows in the shades 05 My Favourite Tauping and 04 Sweet Like Chocolate.
I bought these after seeing them advertised by essence via instagram. I've always enjoyed essence shadows and was interested to see these as there are a a mix of matte, satin and shimmer finishes in the range. My favourite tauping is a matte taupe shade that is very similar to tease from the urban decay naked 2 palette just slightly more brown. It makes for a great overall lid colour when wanting a completley matte look and a great transition shade as well. Sweet like chocolate is a bronzey brown that has a satin finish. While it does pair well with the other shadow it also holds its own for an easy one shadow look. I really love how easy these shadows are to apply, their pigmentation and they're reasonably travel friendly as you can see by the pic the print on the top has worn away quite easily.

Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter 
I was actually gifted this one via a bellabox promotion on facebook allowing you to choose an extra product for your bellabox. To be honest even though I replied I hadn't thought I would actually manage to get something extra as usually with these things its limited amounts to go around. I was lucky enough to get this extra to my last BB. I had been wanting to try since receiving the contour version of this product in a previous bellabox. I have to say now though that I have actually used this product more than the contour one. Together they make a great pair and I have been really trying to perfect contour and highlight of late but this highlighter is just the perfect shade not too gold and not too white. Its smooth to apply, blends easily and is also matte so no glitter particles. It not only makes a great face and cheeks highlight its also great for the inner corner.

Lucas Papaw Ointment 
This has always been a go to for me and I have raved about this many times before but I recently picked it up with the lip applicator and I haven't looked back since. It just makes the product so easy to distribute over your lips and is way less messy than using a finger to apply. I also find the smaller size tube has made it a bit more pocket friendly.    

Anatomicals the buff stuff citrus body scrub.
This was a impulse purchase while in Target one day I didn't really need a body scrub but something drew me in and next thing I knew I couldn't wait to try it. The smell of this one is just so citrusey (not a word I know) and the buffing particles while a little rougher than I am used to they aren't too harsh and scratchy and they leave your skin feeling so soft and smooth.  

Lorraine Lea Microfibre Face Cloth.
I had discovered a long time ago that a microfibre cloth is a great option for taking makeup off. Introduced to the cloths via a beauty box it was given to us as a way of removing unwanted fake tan from the skin as I don't fake tan and wasn't going to start. I tried it one night to remove my makeup and it worked perfectly. It was many year later and earlier this year that I was  re introduced to these cloths via Lorraine Lea and I really haven't looked back since. It really is a great way of removing a hard days makeup simply with water and they really do make it easy to remove everything off your face including liner and mascara. In winter especially it has been nice as you can be in a warm shower and apply the warm cloth to your face to not only melt away a days makeup but also relax after a hard day. Now I have to say that they do get quite dirty and it seems that once it has a hold of your makeup using water alone does not wash it all out so I do recommend using you shower gel or shampoo once your done so it clean to reuse the next night. 

Models Prefer MPA101 Airbrush Foundation Brush
This has been my go to brush so far this month and given I am a bit lazy with washing my makeup brushes over the last month it has been a bit of a re discovery given they are all now clean and ready to use again. This brush is really an all rounder don't be fooled by the airbrush foundation title. It is prefect for foundation application, apply and blending product flawlessly. But its also great for blending out concealer and buffing in powder as well. It also double nicely for bronzer its the perfect fit for me for contour as well being small enough to add blush to your look. I love the softness of the bristles and the fact that the brush isn't too heavy making it easy to handle.

Sigma E25 Blending brush.
Again a go to this month. The E25  was my first ever Sigma brush so I guess I am a bit bias when I say I love it and when admit that I like it so much I actually own two!! I love using this for applying shadows to the crease but this month I have discovered just how good it is for cream shadows both application and blending. This brush is small and dence enough for me to pick up cream shadow sweep all over the lid but fluffy enough to be able to blend out and into the crease have love this for a quick eye shadow look of a morning!!! 

Ok so that ends the favourites for August and September I hope you enjoyed it. 
Until next post Happy reading and Happy shopping!!
