After doing my Winter Warmers- Lip Care I was keen to discover new products to help my lips survive the frostiness of the cool winter months.

When I was lucky enough to receive a sample of this lip balm and was instantly hooked by the scent of this product. Even though the 'fairyflossy', sweet lolly smell may not be for everyone, it was right up my alley! This is possibly the most moisturising lip balm I have ever tried! After using Carmex lip balm for a while now, I thought nothing could compare, but this has topped it! A tiny pea-size amount is all you need balm and instantly your lips feel brand new. I put it on my lips when they were sore from being in the cold for a long amount of time, and by the morning they felt revived and brand new! This lip balm works best when you apply it before going to bed as it is thick and leaves you with silky smooth lips come the morning.

The lip balm contains evening primrose, calendula, avocado and jojoba oils, all used for nourishment which you can defiantly feel!. However, this product comes with a rather hefty pricetag... this product retails for $28.00 for a 12g pot available from Mecca Cosmetica in-store or online, however this is something I will defiantly be purchasing in the full-size.

June Favourites

This month seems to have flown by and now that I am on holidays I have discovered some old gems in my collection as well as acquiring a new favourite!

From Top To Botton: Sportsgirl Eyeshadow (ONT Palette),
Eyeshadow No.31 (DB Palette), Eyeshadow No.38 (DB Palette).

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E: I have been loving this body butter this month because of its rich consistency making it perfect to re-hydrate dry, winter skin.
Designer Brands 48 Eye Shadow Palette: I have re-discovered this palette recently and have been loving the neutrals that this palette contains. The lustre finish that these shadows have brightens up the eyes but avoids looking like you just dipped your eyes in a pot of glitter! 
Mecca Cosmetica Lip De-Luscious: This product has replaced my beloved Carmex chapstick (found in my Winter Warmers - Lip Care), it is a overnight sensation, leaving your lips smooth and soft when you wake up in the morning.
Covergirl Outlast Lipstain (Shade 415 Teasing Blush): I find that this product really enhances my lips, adding some extra colours, perfect for a natural look and to make your lips look just that bit better. As well as the scent and taste of the product- delicious!
Sportgirl On the Prowl Palette: I recently found this product again in my collection.  I have previously loved this palette and have really enjoyed using the lighter eyeshadow colour in my tear duct area to highlight my eyes. I find it is the perfect blend between matte and shimmer and love using it with neutral eyeshadows.(Unfortunatly this product is no longer avaliable from Sportsgirl but their Bronze Paper Palette has a similar colour selection).

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (Very Black): I purchased this product recently because I had read and heard such good things about this mascara. I am a lover of my Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal and still use that on my upper lashes but found the size of the brush made applying it to the lower lashes hard. The Great Lash Mascara has the perfect sized brush for use on the lower lashes and does not smudge all day. And can be used for a natural look on the upper lashes too.

I hope you all had a wonderful June and look forward to posting more in July! xx

Winter Warmers - Lip Care

This is the second of four 'Winter Warmers' posts, with this one focussing on keeping your lips smooth and hydrated all winter long. During the winter time the chance of your lips becoming dry and chapped seems to grow dramatically! With having dry and chapped lips being a pet-hate of mine I like to keep a lip balm on me at all times, all year round. Having smooth lips makes applying lipstick a lot easier and leaves you with a more polished look overall. Below are some wonderful products I recommend to keep your lips smooth and healthy throughout winter.

Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in Cherry

Carmex Moisturing Lip Balm (Cherry Flavour)

Not only are Carmex lip balms extremely moisturising they are inexpensive and very easy to get hold of. They are stocked in most supermarkets and pharmacies as well as places like Target and Kmart. They come in a variety of flavours and packaging options, with the chapstick being my personal favourite. These lip balms are quite thick, so I find that applying them at night works best, and leaves your with silky soft lips by the morning. I highly recommend these lip balms as I find there is nothing better to combat and prevent chapped lips throughout the colder months.

Lucas' Papaw Ointment

Lucas' Papaw Remedies

Lucas' Papaw Ointment

If you are looking for a multi-purpose, good for everything balm to have on you at all times, look no further! This wonderful ointment helps chapped lips, burns, cuts and insect bites, just to name a few of its uses! I find that this product is amazing to help heal and repair chapped lips, leaving them feeling instantly refreshed and smooth. This is the perfect item to keep with you at all times because of its many uses, and is wonderful for use during the day time on dry lips, as it quickly sinks in and leaves no oily residue on the lips. It is also an Australian-made product which means when you purchase this product that you are supporting a local Australian business. And is easy to pick up from stores such as Target and Big W.
