April the season of Autumn. But then again, its always really hot in Queensland so I guess what season it is don't really matter. In April I tried to buy and try products (mostly skincare) that would help me in winter ( Which starts in June) but as I'm writing this now in the middle of June I can confidently say...what winter? The weather is sooo bipolar. In the morning its so cold to the point where I stay in the shower for an extra 15 minutes cause the hot water against the cold is too nice but when I get to uni the weather is either warm now or all the rooms have heater blasted to the max.
Anyways, here are a few products I have chosen all my favourites out of my favs!
This nail polish is probably one of my most exciting finds! I found this nail polish on sleepandwater and from that point on, I started to search everywhere for it. Then I found it at Healthyworld Pharmacy. But it doesn't stop there. Guess what? They sell it at the normal price of only $10 or something like that. They have a lot of other colour choices too!
Since it was my birthday about a week or so before, Priceline gave me a $5 coupon to use in their store. $5 doesn't seem like much but price line is always having sales like 30-40% off certain brands (the coupon is valid for 1 month from your birthday). So when it was my birthday they were having 30% off Australis products. I've never really paid attention to this brand and therefore I decided to do a bit of research into their most loved products. The product that I set my eyes on was the fresh and flawless compact...which I didn't manage to get. I actually got the wrong one :( The fresh and flawless is a circular packaging but i somehow stupidly brought the square one, oops. It's ok. I'd rather I brought the Fresh and Flawless though. With the $5 coupon I only brought this for $3 extra. Deep Natural is also the perfect match for my skin tone. I think I'm around a NC20.
MY FAVOURITE MOISTURISER! OMG. This stuff is heavenly. It's natural, Australian made and works. This is the Sukin Moisture Restoring Night Cream. I'm not sure if its meant to help with redness but for me, when I wake up in the morning I can visible see that the redness that I normally have on my face is way better. It also helps with my dry skin. The only negative thing I would probably say about this product is I don't really like the smell and the normal RRP is around the $20 mark. But I got this at Chemist Warehouse's 50% off all cosmetics sale, therefore the price was around $12.50. I like it so much ill probably make this one of my holy grail products!
This stuff is apparently 'better' than vaseline. Although I like it because it smells like a pot of sugar, I wouldn't say its better than Vaseline because it doesn't give me that shine that vaseline does. In short, I just like this product because it smells awesome, is cheap and its hydrating- at night. I wouldn't used it in the day time though because it leaves a unpleasant white cast on my lips when I apply a lot.
Finally I have a face oil. Swisse Argan face oil is amazing, a little price but worth it. When I first used it, I used a whole pump which was a totally waste. This product you really only need the smallest pump (not even a pump) for your whole face. This will be one of my most used products for winter. Good bye dry skin! Note, I really hate the pump because when I try to pump a little bit the pump is very flimsy and ends up pumping too much! what a waste.
This lip product is my go to everyday! I brought this when Priceline had a 40% off cover girl products. I think I brought it for around $2 hehe bargain! I went there the next day to get some more but they were sold out :(. I was so excited to get my hands on this because of all the fuss eleventhgorgeous made about how awesome they are. They love this product and I can see why. Its so affordable for what you get. This product is very similar to Revlon colour burst lip butter in Sugar Plum. Its very smooth and it really hydrates my lips! The colour is also not very overwhelming.
So, thats it for my April favourites! The other products that I didn't talk was because there was really nothing to talk about (except for the Barry M foundation- i'll do a separate review ). See you at my June favourites!
