Beauty Favourites // January 2014

 
It has been a while since I've done a favourites post, but I decided that I wanted to share some lovely things that I've been using this month.

Face of Australia Bronzer Tinted Tanning Mousse* - For the first time in a long time I've been using fake tan *gasp* and though I still glow like a ghost, I have been enjoying the tiny bit of colour that I've been getting with this. The fact that it does apply with a tint is infinitely helpful to a klutz like me, and the mousse texture is pretty easy to work with, leaving no streaks thus far (though I did miss a patch which was pretty funny!)

Etude House Sugar Cookie Blush in 002 - Glowy pink cheeks and pretty packaging is a blush fiends dream! I bought this (and some other shades) on my last day of teaching placement, so not only is it pretty it also reminds me of a great accomplishment. Blush win!

Savvy Cheek Balm in Blissful Blush - Such a great texture for a cheap $3 blush, I'm very happy with this coral shade and love how easy it is to blend. This was probably my favourite shade from my recent Blush Week post.
Maybelline Color Whisper in Petal Rebel* - Glossy pink lips are my kryptonite right now, and this little beauty along with my Covergirl Gloss Balm in Haute Pink Twist* have been gracing my lips a lot this month.
 
Maybelline Color Bloom Balms in Pink Blossom and Peach Blossom - A beautiful gift from my friend Carly who was recently in Bali! Adore how these apply clear and deepen quickly, and the stain is such a nice thing to wear under other glosses or lipsticks. I really hope Maybelline brings these to Australia, they would sell so easily!
PureTan Pure Moisture Coconut Body Crème* - The smell of this is summer, straight up. I do wish it was a touch more moisturising for my elbows, but it leaves my skin soft and smelling of coconut so suffice to say I am addicted. Love the whipped crème style texture, swoon!
 
Dermalogica Oil Free Matte MediBac Clearing spf30* - I adore this matte sunscreen, it works brilliantly as a primer underneath makeup and I used it while on holiday in Albury as well as anytime I was outside in January. It doesn't break me out and I find that my makeup is always better when I wear this underneath.

  1. Oh! I saw the photo and wondered what those bloom things were. Hopefully they do bring them to Australia! I also really want to try that Savvy Cheek Balm :)

  2. You're so good at these roundups! I get terribly lazy and never take pics or remember what I liked last week. Definitely interested in that Dermalogica sunscreen now! I'm still lemming the La Roche-Posay fluid version but feel quite satisfied with good old Neutrogena water light.

    1. Oh thank you so much for saying that, I often think I miss too many items (indeed this time I did miss a few) I want to try the LRP one as well.

  3. "Petal Rebel" is one of my fave lippies! And Savvy is so underrated I reckon, especially for the price and quality! And that etude house blush is so cute.

  7. So cool that your favourite shade from your Blush Week post was only $3 and local too! Might have to take another look at Savvy next time I'm in Priceline ;)

  8. Neutrogena makes a nice sunscreen for body (all mineral), but for face I like Clarins all-mineral sunscreen right now!

    And I love all the blush in this post :) So cheerful.
