August Favourites

Hello lovlies,

Sorry I have been M.I.A but I promise you I have a good reason. Almost three weeks ago I got my wisdom teeth, plus a molar out and I was in a lot of pain and the tablets they gave me were way too strong so I pretty much was falling in and out of sleep for two weeks!

If you don't already know I am going to America (LA, Vegas and Hawaii) on September the 6th so I doubt I will have anytime between now and then to post anything. While I am away though I was thinking I'd try to do a blog post everyday (don't hold me to it though) of my outfit of the day, what I got up to and I'll post some photos I took that day. If you would like to see that let me know below or on any of my social media sites listed at the end. 

Now enough rambling, my August favourites ladies and gents! (if any boys actually read my blog posts)

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

Holy grail product alert!!!! This foundation is amazing, I went into David Jones on Friday afternoon and picked up a sample because I want to try it out before I buy it when I'm in America. I wore it when I went out for dinner on Friday night which I was only out for three hours so I couldn't really judge it based on that short amount of time. I then wore it Saturday from 12:30pm and didn't take it off until about 10:30pm that's a whole ten hours!!!! It didn't move at all and I went out and about while it was sunny then the weather changed and it was cold and raining and my foundation stayed put and didn't even move the slightest.
A little bit of this foundation goes a long way and it's super easy to blend. I'm also really impressed at how well it matches my skin tone, I find it very hard to find a foundation that after a couple of hours it starts to go darker, with this foundation I didn't have that problem. It is a little pricey but if you are looking for a good high end foundation that you will not be disappointed in I recommend you go to an Estee Lauder counter and ask for a sample.

Formula 10.0.6 Seriously Shine Free, Mattifying Oil-Free Moisturiser 

Another amazing product from Formula 10.0.6! If you know me you would know that I hate the way moisturisers feel when I apply them to my skin and the way they feel all greasy. This product goes on your face moisturising then it dries matte my favourite word. I am then able to apply my primers and continue with my makeup without feeling like my skin is one big grease ball. For only $10 at Priceline I highly recommend you give this product a try and also try out their Deep Down Detox mask. 

NYX Roll On Eye Shimmer 

I saw these roll on eye shimmer eyeshadows when I was in Target about a month ago and I was contemplating buying on then but then my brain was like "Do you really need this?" "You have enough make up" "You're going to America soon" so I put them down and walked away empty handed. For the past week after that I kept thinking no, I need it in my life so the following week I went back and picked up the colour Salmon, because I thought it would be good for everyday eyeshadow also I can apply it over other eyeshadow to give it a bit of shimmer. It's so pigmented, super easy to blend and it doesn't cause any irritation. I can't quite remember how much it was but it was under $9. 

Australis Full On Foundation Stick 

This product is amazing, for only $12.95 it's a steal! For a foundation stick it applies easy, blends effortlessly and isn't drying like other foundation sticks. The only downside of this product is the lack of shades they have, maybe if it becomes more popular they might bring more shades out. You can purchase this product at Priceline or any shop that stocks Australis. 

Dark Chocolate coated Goji Berries

New food obsession!! Since I bought these 2 days ago I have not stopped eating them oops. Apparently they are healthyish because of the dark chocolate and Goji berries. You can purchase them from Woolworth's or Coles but if you want to read more about them click here. 

Sorry I don't have many favourites this month, I promise next month i'll have more because I'll have my America favourites, woohoo!
