June Favourites (on time for once!!)

Look at me being all good and posting my favourites at the end of the month and not half way through like usual haha June hasn't been the best of months for me as I have been sick for two thirds of it :( But I am almost all better now so yay! 

Here's just a quick post showing you what I have been loving for the month of June :)

Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer in Soft Honey


I love this concealer, even though it is a stick concealer it is really creamy and is great for both under eyes and covering blemishes. 

Natio Liquid Bronzer


My friend Taz and I bought this on sale from David Jones a few weeks ago and are both really loving it. I've been using this to contour my face and find that it looks really natural but gives you a gorgeous glow.

MAC Omega Eyeshadow


I have been using this shadow to fill in my brows lately and love it. Even though my brows are quite dark I find that this works really well to fill in the sparse areas of my brows without leaving them looking too full. 

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural


Not only is this blush adorable but its gorgeous pinky colour gives your cheeks a nice natural looking flush.

Physicians Formula Eye Enhancing Gel Eyeliner - the Purple from the Green Eyes Set


This is without doubt the creamiest gel eyeliner I've tried and is a super vibrant purple that looks amazing against my green eyes.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow in Bad to the Bronze


I bought 3 of these off of ebay recently as I thought we'd have to wait forever to get them here in Oz. However, I have since discovered these are being released any day now! doh haha I think they will be about $11.95 so not too expensive either for once! This particular shade is a  gorgeous shimmery bronze that blends really nicely and is long-lasting. Perfect for a quick day or night look.

Real Techniques Brushes


These are only a few but all the brushes are incredible. These have become my favourite brushes within only a week of receiving them. They are super soft and dense but still flexible allowing for seamless blending/application.

And here is everything swatched :)

L-R: Natio Liquid Bronzer, Rimmel Concealer, MAC Omega, PF blush,
Bad to the Bronze and PF gel eyeliner.

Have you tried any of these products?? What have you been loving this past month??

Dupe Alert: MAC Girl About Town Lippie

While swatching my lipstick collection the other day I noticed that two of the colours I own look very similar...so today I decided to investigate it a little further and believe I may have stumbled upon a possible dupe for MAC's lipstick in Girl About Town.

The possible dupe?? Rimmel's Moisture Renew lipstick in 320 Funtime Fuchsia.




How are they similar?
  • Both are very moisturising formulas;
  • They are both scented, although a prefer the vanilla smell of the MAC to the floral and slightly waxy smell of the Rimmel;
  • Both are reasonably long-wearing;
  • They both have nice packaging, although the Rimmel's bright purple tube is a tad cuter. I also found that the Rimmel lippie seems to lock together a bit more securely than the MAC one.
  • Both are very pigmented.


How they differ?

  • Girl About Town is slightly more on the cooler toned side when compared with Funtime Fuchsia which has a clear reddish undertone to it. So on colour they are not an exact dupe.
  • Funtime Fuchsia also has a little bit more of a glossy finish to it;
  • Price wise there is a huge difference. In Oz the MAC lippie retails for $36AUD where as the Rimmel retails for $13.95AUD.

MAC's Girl About Town

Rimmel's Funtime Fuchsia

L: Rimmel, R: MAC

While they are not an exact colour match they are both very gorgeous hot pink lippies with quite similar formulas that feel nice when applied to the lips. If you don't like the idea of spending $36 on the Girl About Town lipstick I would definitely recommend checking out Funtime Fuchsia. You can purchase MAC lipsticks from the Mac website or in-store. Rimmel is available at most chemists and pricelines around the country. 

Robbie prefers the smell of the MAC lippie haha


Have you tried either of these lippies???
