August Favorites Makeup, Skincare and Random

Hey guys,

Today's post is going to be about the products that I have been loving for the month of August. There are some repeats but most of them are new products. These are products that I would reach for almost everyday. I have divided them into Skincare, Makeup and Random. So here they are

For skincare I have been using The Witch Hazel toner every single day for the past one year now. This is my 3rd bottle. I love that it doesn't sting but also just clears my pores from any makeup or dirt. The Hydraluron is a new product I have added to my skincare for the past one month It is a serum used before your moisturizer. Eysilix is a serum for your eyes, again I use this everyday day and night. Both the Hydraluron and Eysilix are made by Indeed Labs and can be purchsased at Priceline. Another product I have been loving this month is the Maybelline Baby lips. Honestly this is the first time I have tried this lip balm and it is so easy to use. I used to use the MUA hot lips but that came in a pot and I had to use my fingers, which I find is not very hygienic, so this tube has been amazing.

Now onto makeup, I have been using my Illamaqua light liquid foundation almost every single day because I don't like to cover my face with too much makeup everyday and this is a very light formula. It gives a light to medium coverage thus I don't use concealer, which makes it look more natural. To set my foundation I have been using the Rimmel Stay Matte powder. For blush my go to blush has been Benefit's Bella Bamba which is a bright watermelon pink with a golden sheen to it. Beautiful colour for medium skin tones. Maybelline's line stiletto is my holy grail liquid eye liner and I am so sad that it has been discontinued. This is another product that will always be on my favorites list till I run out of it. For lipstick I have been reaching for Maybelline's Yummy Plummy, which is a pretty mauve pink and looks quite natural on me.

Random products I have been loving are my Victoria's Secret Body spray in Gorgeous and L'occtaine shea butter hand cream. The L'occtaine hand cream will be repurchased because it is the best hand cream ever. It gets absorbed by the skin so quickly and does not feel greasy at all.

Hope you guys enjoyed my favorites and if you have tried any of these products and love them do let me know in the comments below.

Love ya!

Product Empties May 2013

Hey everyone!

Today's post is going to be about the products I have used up and all of them have been repurchased again as I totally cannot live without most of them.

1) Rimmel London gentle eye make up remover: 

This is probably the only drugstore makeup remover that has been good for my eyes and skin. Although it says it is a eye makeup remover I do use it for my face and seriously it is the only product that has never broken me out. I have tried other makeup removers from MAC(not drugstore but I have used it and it doesn't suit me), Revlon, Maybelline etc and till date this is the only one that has suited my sensitive skin. This is my third empty bottle so you can guess that it is my HG makeup remover.

2) MAC brush cleanser:

This product is good for spot cleaning your brushes but there are other brush cleaners out there that do the same job. I bought it from overseas and it costed me around $12 but it retails for I think $20 in Australia. I had purchased two bottles so when I run out of my second one I may try another cheaper brand.

3) Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle:

I love this lip product so much that I have already bought 3 of them incase I run out. They are so creamy and smooth. This colour in particular is MLBB and I love using it for work because its not overpowering yet gives a flush of colour to my lips. <3

4) Estee Lauder Day Wear Moisturizer:

I got this in a gift bag and loved it so much that I bought a full size. Recently ran out of that so I bought another one. The sample was for normal to combination skin and my first full size was also normal to combination as I dont get very oily. The second one that I have purchased is for Oily skin so I will see how that goes. I personally love the product but again its not a must have. There are cheaper more amazing moisturizers but for me when something suits my skin especially if it directly touches my skin I stick to it.

5) T.N.Dickinsons Witch Hazel Toner:

Faboulous toner!! I have used a lot of toners and this one is really good. It doesnt smell all alcoholy, although it does have 14% alcohol but its not all chemically smelling. It contains 100% distilled witch hazel which is good for acne prone skin. 

6) Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Lotion:

I use this product at nights when I take my makeup off and after I wash my face using it like a toner. Everytime I do that I have leftover makeup on my cotton pad. I cleanse my face really well but this product takes that 0.1% of makeup left on the skin. I would truly recommend it.

If any one would like me to do an indepth  review on any of these products do let me know in the comments section below.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Much love,

DG.
