January Favourites!

Hey everyone!

Hope you are all fantastic and 2015 is bringing you all happiness! 

This year is already flying by and January went way to quickly but we did find some new products that we have been absolutely loving, so here are our January Favourites!

1. MAC Painterly Paint Pot: My new obsession and eye shadow primer! The perfect match to my skin tone and it applies so smoothly and creamy to the eye making your eyeshadow last so much longer and intensifying the shadows!

2. Makeupgeek Palette: Possibly my most favourite makeup item in my whole collection. Absolutely obsessed with it and will reach for it everyday whether it be for a blush shade, highlighter, simple or dramatic eye look or even to contour. I love the shades i picked as they are all very neutral and can be used for a simple or dramatic look- best palette ever!

3. MAC Lipstick in 'Faux': The perfect everyday nude/peachy colour with almost a hint of brown in it, its just amazing! Kind of similar to Brave by MAC but much more browny peachy. This lipstick paired with Spice Lipliner has been my go to lip look. 

4. Loreal True Match Concealer: Has a medium coverage and works amazing under the eyes. Been pairing this with my True Match Foundation and have loved the way my skin has been looking!

5. Loreal Telescopic Mascara: This mascara is amazing!! The brush is so small and weird looking but its separates your lashes insanely and coats them all so evenly. Perfect for top and bottom lashes and makes them look amazing!!

6. Real Techniques Sculpting Brush: I had no idea this brush even existed until i visited the states.. but OMG can we just take a second… The density of this brush is almost similar to the Expert Face brush but this has a slanted edge that fits perfectly into the hollows of your cheeks. It just takes such little effort with this brush to get the perfect cream or powder contour. So happy that i found this brush!

7. Wet 'n' Wild Waking on Eggshells palette: Also picked this up when i was in the states after hearing so many raved reviews about it… and yes it is amazing- pigmented, creamy, shimmery and for like $3.. enough said.  

8. Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cocoa Butter: This stuff has serially changed my lips. I went through a period where they were so dry and chapped and nothing fixed them until this. Made my lips so smooth and hydrated.. soo impressed!

Hope you guys enjoyed our January Favourites! What products have you been loving this month!

Updated Skincare Routune! Ft. Jurlique, Olay

Hey guys!!!

Today we're doing an updated skincare routine featuring some products we kindly received from Jurlique to try out along with some tips and tricks to getting your skin clear! 

These are the products that I use morning and night to:

1. Cleanse 

2. Tone

3. Treat

4. Moisturise

I have found that by using these products morning and night consistently I have seen improvements in my skin! 

I always like to try new skincare products for 3 to 4 weeks before I review them, and as I've been using these products for that amount of time I feel I can share my thoughts on this routine and these products. 

The first thing I do before I start my skin care routine or get into the shower is use my Garnier Micellar Water to remove all of my make up. I absolutely love this stuff as it removes my base, eye makeup and lipstick. I feel it is important to remove your makeup before cleansing your skin as using your cleanser as a makeup remover will not allow it to deeply cleanse your skin only remove the makeup. 

After I have removed my make up i then use my Jurlique Clarifying Deep Cleansing Gel in the shower and this gel has seriously changed my skin! It has a gel/mousey consistency with tiny little natural microbeads in it for exfoliation. The microbeads are very fine though so the exfoliation is not harsh which makes it  suitable to use daily. Since using this my skin is now smoother and clearer along with my pores being decreased in size and are less noticeable

Once I'm out of the shower I take my Witch Hazel Toner with a cotton pad and wipe that all over my face to close my pores. This is an important step that a lot of people miss. Toner is important as cleanser opens your pores to clean them and the toner closes the pores and tightens them to prevent any more dirt or bacteria going back in them. Missing toner can defeat the whole purpose of cleaning as you are leaving the pores open. 

After toner I then take a small pump of the Jurlique Herbal recovery advanced serum and pat that all over my skin, neck and declatage. This is to treat my skin as the product is an anti ageing serum and contains over 18 botanical extracts, vitamins and essential fatty acids. Think of this step as food for your skin, you want to put the good stuff back into it. 

I then finish up my skin care routine by taking the Olay Long Live Satin Finish Moisturiser all over my face and neck. I find it so important to mositurise your skin morning and night to keep it hydrated, soft and smooth along with providing the moisture it needs after cleansing and removing any unwanted oils. 

Hope you guys enjoyed todays post and found it helpful! If you have any questions just leave them below! 

Till next time,
