Monthly Favourites - June

When I compiled my favourites for this month I realised how girly they all looked, pink, pink and more pink! June has been an incredibly stressful month, finding out some bad news from doctors about my Mum's health (she has breast cancer and the treatment she has to have is pretty upsetting), experiencing 5 year 11 exams and preparing for a two week mission trip to Cambodia. Phew! I am glad this month is over.

Here are the products I have turned to.

Face: Since the arrival of my Real Techniques Stippling Brush, I have rediscovered my love for cream blushes as they are now so much easier to apply and work with, and I have remembered the incredible, natural, long lasting finish they give in comparison to powder blushes. I am in love again with my Australis creme blush in Dusky Rose, as indicated by the strange pattern that has been left in the blush as a result of the stippling brush!

Eyes: Though the Essence eyeshadow in Cappuccino Please is not at all what I would consider my favourite eyeshadow in my collection, many times this month I have picked it up for a highlight shade or all over the lid shade. I don't know why I have suddenly found it so appealing but I have certainly been enjoying using it!

Nails: As you may have noticed, I have gone crazy with FOA NOTDs lately, mainly due to my 75c haul (I promise I will shut up about it one day!). Last month featured Heart of Glass, and this month it is it's pastel cousin, I'll take you to the candy shop.

Lips: My most used lip product this month was the Australis Colour Inject lipstick in Boogie Woogie. I haven't yet written a review about it (it's coming!) but it's a lovely rosy pink shade, nothing crazy but nothing hopelessly boring either, just an everyday nice kind of pink - even nicer considering it was $5.

Other: Of course my last favourite for this month is the previously mentioned Real Techniques Stippling Brush. It's is amazing, it really is. I haven't tried using it for anything else but cream blushes but I adore this. Get it now!

Lastly, just a little side note - for those of you who signed up for B.liv samples when I posted this here, you should have received an email asking you to confirm it and then it will tell you when to expect your samples. I know that they were flooded with requests but you should have managed to get a set if you signed up within a couple of days of seeing that post.

That is all for my June favourites. I am incredibly excited because I am flying out tomorrow to Cambodia for 2 weeks (more about that tomorrow) but just to let you know I have scheduled posts and will alter the comment settings so that your comments post immediately. Try not to miss me while I'm gone! :)
