A few products really stood out to me this month, and I
ended up using them over and over as the weeks went by. I also took these along
with me for my anniversary weekend away and they served me well.
Samantha Chapman for Real Techniques Stippling Brush
This is brilliant for pigmented cream and powder blushes,
and since this month was all about bright cheeks it was in constant use. It
buffs out strong pigments so nicely and I’ve also found it great to use with
shimmery or sparkly blushes (Milani
blushes, I’m looking at you) I am contemplating buying another one of these
so I don’t have to wash them as frequently…
BYS Blush Trio in On The Brightside + Coral Me In
I used the first two shades of each palette alternately
throughout the month, and these two palettes were the only cheek products I
took away with me for the long weekend. I love how the shimmer in some of the shades gives a great glow to the cheeks, and how the lasting power of every
shade is just phenomenal!

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask
This smells edible and I adore the concept of an overnight
mask, as I often dread washing off clay masks etc as they can be quite messy.
This gives a really good dose of moisture to my skin, and I’m kinda crushing on
the brand at the moment so I’ve been using this each weekend to keep the
flakies at bay.
MAC lipstick in Girl About Town
I traded in some empty eyeshadow pots after a big depotting
session to get my hands on this bright pop of happiness! I often swatched the
shade on counter when browsing but never thought too much about it, until I saw
the beautiful Ling of Six Inch Heel wearing it to one of our shopping sessions.
It looks seriously HOT on her, and if I do say so myself, looks pretty damn
good on me as well! I think the fact that I paid $0 for it makes it even
prettier!
Clinique Chubby Stick in Whole Lotta Honey*
This is one of my very favourite nude lip colours, and I can
see myself easily reaching the end of the crayon in this lifetime -quite an achievement with a collection the
size of mine! The formula of these is ace, and I can’t wait to try out the
new Intense colours they have just launched as I do like pigmented products for
zee lips. |

What were your favourite products in June?
Do you like the idea of blush palettes like these ones?
