Monthly Favourites - June

Time for another Monthly Favourites! June was a terribly busy month for me, and I spent a week away which was lovely but meant that I didn't get up to much posting (my apologies) as I had limited internet access.

Being away meant that I was using basic products that were simple,easy and did the job. My trusty Covergirl mascara was the only mascara I used this month and it is definitely the winner of the eyes category.

For nails this month I wore my Ulta polish in watermelon. I had forgotten how beautiful it actually was and then when I applied it I fell in love with it all over again! It is the cheapest nail polish I think you can get in Australia, and the quality is just brilliant. The colour range is huge (with both hideous and gorgeous colours) but so worth checking out.


 For the face I wore a lot of the BYS blush in Candyfloss. I own two BYS blushes in the shades Pretty in Pink and Candyfloss and they are amazing blushes that cost approximately four dollars! This month I was craving warmer peachy colours, and Candyfloss fit this perfectly.

For lips I came back to my Nivea Fruity Shine lip balm (Fact of the day - this review was the first ever post I did on my blog!) This balm is moisturising and has the most incredible tint to it - suitable for pretty much any lip colour. It also smells great, and is oh so cheap.

Last but not least was my 'other' category. This was a tricky one to do this month, but I thought I might include a bracelet that I have been wearing quite regularly. It's unlike any other bracelet that I own, and is bordering on a little strange. If I remember correctly, I think I picked it up really cheaply at an Op-shop. I will admit, it is a little uncomfortable, but because it is so cool I can deal with it! It's a hard, chunky plastic bracelet but inside is a material pattern with jewels. Have no idea what I am talking about? Fair enough - just look at the pictures below!




I'm curious to see what you think of the bracelet - the responses I get towards it are of the two extremes - either "Oh my gosh I love your bracelet, it's so unique and the coolest ever!" or "What on Earth is that, it's hideous!" Let me know if you love it or hate it!

  1. Watermelon is definitely one of my favourite Ulta3 nail polishes - it's such a gorgeous shade and amazing quality for something that's only $2 :) I only have one BYS blush in Coral but it is super pigmented, Candyfloss has caught my eye before but I haven't purchased it yet. Maybe I'll pick it up next time I see it - it's only $4 anyway.

    1. Watermelon is really lovely, and it is such a great price. I haven't seen the Coral shade of BYS blush, but I have read about that particular shade so many times - I gather it's pretty good!
