Monthly Favourites - December


We are at the end of yet another month, but more strangely...the end of the whole year. Can you believe that 2012 is in fact over, and that tomorrow morning we will have entered 2013?! For me this is an incredibly strange feeling but I am really looking forward to the year to come, or rather saying goodbye to this year which has certainly had its ups and downs.Anyhow, I hope you have a fun night celebrating the new year!

Back to the point of the story, it's time for a monthly favourites post! Here are the products I turned to in December.

Face: In place of my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder I used my Face of Australia pressed powder. Initially the reason for doing so was because this is a little darker that my Maybelline one and therefore subtly warms up my face, ready for summer. I really like the finish it gives to my skin.

Lips: For lips there was no denying that my Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain had to be included in this post because I have been using it so regularly. Even though the minty scent is really off-putting, I have really grown to love the shade (Smitten), but most of all the unbelievable lasting power this has. Amazing!

Eyes: This was a bit of a surprise product for me because I really don't like eyeliner pencils. I had this Face of Australia Eye Definer pencil in Charcoal lying around and my friend picked it up and used it. I loved the effect it gave her and decided to make it work for me. I love the smokey grey effect it gives although it can tug a little during application. I must write a review on this soon!

Nails: Without a doubt my most used nail product for this month was my Ulta3 polish in Watermelon. I cannot love this colour any more, it is just gorgeous.

Other: For the other category is a pair of earrings, terribly plain, simple ones that I have worn every day. They are black with a gold rim around the edge and seem to go with everything. I think I picked them up for about four or so dollars at Diva, so it was definitely a bargain!

    1. Isn't it just wonderful?! In the bottle it looks nice, but nothing incredible but on the nails it is a totally different story!

  3. I'm pretty sure I have that Watermelon nail polish, and you're right, it's so pretty! Once my Maybelline Dream Matte powder finishes I'm thinking of switching over to a different brand... It's not working that well for me, I'm on the look out for a HG! I don't use that Smitten stain enough, it's gorgeous. xx

    1. I quite liked the Maybelline Dream Matte powder, but as you just read I like my Face of Australia powder too. It is a little bit cheaper than the Maybelline one, but I will warn you the fragrance is slightly off-putting. As for the Smitten stain, it is just a beautiful, beautiful shade! I am so impressed with its lasting power too, it sticks around for the majority of the day!
