June Favourites ft. MAC, Napoleon Perdis and Sportsgirl

A belated June Favourites, but I do believe these posts are better late than never. I was in the midst of exams and final assignments this month, so fussing with my make up was a welcome distraction for me. I did find that I went for similar looks though, and this is what they were made up of:
June Favourites 2011
*
My favourite scent for the month of June was Guerlain's Champs Elysees, this is my second bottle of it and though it reminds me of an 'older lady' sort of scent, I find it makes me feel sophisticated. I often find myself sniffing my wrist throughout the day when it's on, such is my adoration for it. Will be repurchasing, over and over again.
*
Clinique Super Moisture Make Up in 63 Fresh Beige
I purchased this foundation on a recent trip to the Estee Lauder staff store with Melissa, and the main attraction was the cheap price tag and promise of hydration as well as coverage. I agree that it is hydrating, and my flaky skin can be concealed for the whole day when I'm wearing this. I'll be doing a full review soon, so look out for it.
*
MAC lipstick in Ever Hip
This shade is ridiculously flattering, and I can see why it is a sell out each time it is released. Happy to have grabbed it from the online MAC store, it goes with many looks and feels great on.
*
MAC Dazzleglass in Baby Sparks
Though they are sticky, I've found that my favourite lip gloss formulation from MAC is the dazzleglasses. I've been loving a super glossy and glittery lip of late, and this fits the bill to a T! Looks great on it's own or over a lipstick, especially Ever Hip!
*
Botanical Creations Body Scrub in Lily and White Tea
This range of scrubs is a HG for me, so of course they have recently been discontinued! Now being sold for $1 at Priceline, the store's own brand of body products are a delight. Highly recommend you pick some up if you see them in your local Priceline, they feel much more luxurious than their price tag would suggest.

Favourite Eye Products for June 2011
*
Napoleon Perdis eye dust in Star Light
This was used on me during a recent make over at Napoleon, and I fell in love with it. Used as a highlight for the cheekbones or eyes, this versatile little baby is crazy pretty. Something I would probably not have given the time of day to before, I'm glad to know this product exists.
*
Sportsgirl single shadows in Prom Night and Super Natural
All-time favourite, HG eyeshadows. I tend to avoid using these too much lest I hit pan (they are discontinued) I found the lure of their beauty too much for me this month. Great natural day time shades, these are the perfect companion to a bright lip or cheek,and work well with the aforementioned eye dust. Adore them!
*
MAC Paint Pot in Painterly
A perfect base for all of my shadows, I use this daily before adding colour to the canvas that is my eyelids. I have a few other paint pots, but find that this neutral skin tone shade goes with everything, and is therefore a no-brainer.

  3. Thanks for the comment Su! I really like the paint pots, glad I succumbed to my lemming for them. And I'm going to look into Sportsgirl's current make up collection and see if I can unearth some more gold;)

    Melissa, loved your post on your MAC lippy collection, might do one like it soon!

  5. How good are they Rose!? I contemplated Bare Study, but thought it was too similar to the Chilled in Ice paint pot I have from the Cham Pale collection. I love Painterly, so simple but makes all of my shadows better!

  6. Yay someone else who loves Sportsgirl makeup! I haven't tried their eyeshadows (I have enough from other brands to sink a boat) but omg their blushes and lipglosses are to die for <3 I also love Ever Hip.
