March and April Favourites!

Hello Lovelies!

I thought I should do a favourites blog, but as I am really lazy right now I am going to combine each months favourite into a favourite I have been loving for these past two months!

Each product will be sorted into categories and will include it's AUS price as well as the shop/shops it can be purchased from.

Beauty:
  • L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Powder (light & medium) - $26.95 (Priceline)
This powder is so soft and silky it honestly feels like there is nothing on your face! But, what I thought was amazing when I have been using this powder is that if you put it over the top of foundation as a pressed powder it really helps control the oils and stops your face from looking shiny ALL day!
  • Rimmel London Metal Rush (Gold Save the Queen & Royale Blue) - $7.95 (Priceline)
At the moment I have been wearing Royale Blue every day and although there has been a little chipping to the top of SOME of my nails it hasn't been very noticeable. The Metal Rush collection is really cool because depending on what direction your nails are in the colour looks completely different! For instance Royale Blue in one light can look green, purple or blue. But it can also look blue and green or blue and purple.
  • M.A.C Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation (1.0) - $59.00 (M.A.C)
I have been using this foundation for a few months now and I have noticed that on its own it can make your skin look a little shiny and oily, but it does keep my face sunburn free.  This foundation works really well with my L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Powder and as a result my face doesn't get oily and I am able to keep the same coverage all day.

Hair:
  • Joico K-PAK RECONSTRUCT Liquid Reconstructor - around $20
OH. MY. GOSH.
I have used the liquid reconstructor for just over a month now and I have noticed a massive improvement in my hair! The quality of my hair has improved immensely and all I have to do is after I towel dry my hair I spray a few spritz all over my hair and then let my hair finish air drying. When it comes to straightening my hair there is less breakage, my hair smells amazing and it feels so soft and smooth!!
  • REDKEN 5TH AVENUE NYC FOR MEN Silver Charge shampoo - $25.50 (Hairhouse Warehouse)
I have finally found a silver/purple shampoo that doesn't feel like it is completely drying up my fried hair!! The Redken Silver Charge silver shampoo with steel lock technology is AMAZING!! When I opened the bottle the first thing I noticed was how dark the shampoo was. This silver/purple shampoo is so pigmented that it really does tone your hair in 3 minutes. (My hair is platinum blond but I am slowly trying to get it to an almost white colour and this shampoo has dramatically changed my hair colour! I have no more yellow tones in my hair and they are taking longer and longer to come back!)

My hair is slowly starting to feel more and more normal and I think it has a great deal to do with this shampoo!

I know this isn't a big list of things but over the past two months I have tried many different products and these are the ones that I am really loving right now.

L'OREAL PARIS Nude Magique BB Powder - Review!

Hello girlies!
Recently I have been wearing a full face of makeup more regularly (everyday) since I have been on break and in this time I have changed my pressed powder over to the new L'OREAL Paris Nude Magique BB Powder and I have to say this pressed powder has become one of my everyday essentials.

The L'OREAL Paris Nude Magique BB Powder is the type of powder that you can wear over the top of BB cream, over the top of normal foundation or on its own. On its own it has slight coverage, but mainly gives your face a matte finish.

The L'OREAL Paris Nude Magique BB Powder comes in two colours Light and Medium. Admittedly I own both Light and Medium but that is because my skin tone is between Light and Medium. The Light is soft and can come across as slightly see through and the Medium covers the last bit of my imperfections.



Steps to working with L'OREAL Paris Nude Magique BB Powder:
  1. Prime the face
  2. Apply fondation
  3. Cover spots with concealer
  4. Apply L'OREAL Paris Nude Magique BB Powder. The powder comes with a sponge, but I have found that if you apply a thick amount of the powder to the middle of the cheeks, middle of the forehead, bridge of the nose and centre of the chin. Then using a pressed powder brush, in a circular motion spread the powder over the face
  5. Finish by applying mascara/eyeliner/filling the eyebrows/blush
  6. Lastly spritz a finishing spray to hold the makeup in place throughout the day
RATE: 9/10
COMMENT: This is the best pressed powder I have ever used!
