January Favorites

Hey, Hi, Hello :)

So I hope everyone had a great start to the year! It's now a week into February so I thought i'd do my January favorites for the first time. So here's just a few items I've enjoyed during the month.

Firstly I have loved the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, its a great summer foundation and I've been using it all during January, I won't ramble on about it because I've done a full review on it which you can take a look at here :)

A non beauty fave is my one direction usb which is 8GB. It may be THE best usb I've ever owned! I picked it up at office works for $15, but now they are available for $9.99, here . Well worth it if you're a one direction fan like myself.

The next 3 items are all pink! Now I've never really been into pink but it is really growing on me.

For my nails I've been loving Ulta3's sunset pink nail polish, it's only $2, how can you go wrong! To read more on this nail polish and other colors I've reviewed the brand right here.

Now I get extremely chapped dry and horrible lips, and I've always found that the lush lip scrubs always work the best! I was recently in Adelaide and popped into lush and picked up the bubblegum lip scrub for $9.99. I previously had the chocolate/vanilla scrub, but the bubblegum one is a major winner for me. I exfoliates well, smells amazing and tastes incredible! Not going to lie I eat about half of these jars when ever I get one.

My fave perfume for this month is Avons 'Secret Fantasy'. It smells of a blend of red fruits and flowers with a hint of white musk. Its quiet a sweet scent and great for summer. I love the bottle and the little key chain that is on it which you have to remove to use it. One down thing is that it does not have a lid which I don't really like. 

This is my second tube of the Maybelline Pulse Perfection mascara. The first one I had was waterproof and I wasn't to happy with it. My mum then brought me home the normal one and I love it! I love the formula and I much prefer plastic/rubber bristles on my mascara brushes which it has, but that's not up everyone's ally. and of course it vibrate..... which I hate! Which makes it so hard to apply, so I just don't turn it on.

Lastly is a pair of shoes. Now I cant tell you what store I got them from because I was on holidays and  I don't know the name of the store :P They are basically just a high top which i'm really loving at them moment with a leopard print design which I've also been loving! 

My song for this month is McFly - Love is easy.

Review | Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Hey, Hi, Hello. 

This is my first blog post and I thought what better then to do one of my all time favorite beauty products!

The Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. 

I purchased mine in 'Soft Beige' . Now I actually think I may of been asleep while I purchased this shade as it's a million shades to dark for me as i'm white as a ghost! (No offence to ghosts) but it has done me well this summer as i've been tanned. There are only 7 shades available so there isn't going to be a match for everyone. 

The bottle claims that the foundation has an anti-fatigue effect with a radidant glow, I believe it does just that!  It really brightens up your face giving it a healthy glow which I look for as I have such dull skin.

This foundation has a medium coverage, but is very builderable without looking or being to heavy.

 If you do look very closely at the actual foundation you'll see that it looks very shimmery, some people debate over weather its good or not  I found that it doesn't  show up extremely shimmery unless your under a very very bright light. But I love the shimmer in it. The SPF 15 makes this foundation even better as I don't have to apply any sunscreen and found that the foundation was enough alone cause after all you've gotta slip slop slap espesh in the Aussie heat! Also the product has a pleasant smell, to me its kinda fruity and summery!

I found that this was quiet a thick foundation, but it has really easy application and the bottle includes a pump which makes life that little bit easier again. 

Lastly I just loveeeeeeee the packaging. I comes in a glass bottle making in look high end, and overall I just love it!

When I purchased mine its was $20 from Priceline, that was months ago though, lately I've been seeing them on  sale everywhere for $17 and below. I overall love this product and recommend it :)
