What I Loved in August

So as August ends (ummm where the hell is this year disappearing to???) I thought I would share a couple of products that I have been loving recently and simply can't get enough of!

Erin Bigg Cosmetics, Baked Finishing Powder in Matte Bronze (RRP $49 at Lipstick Republic)
This is the first I have used Erin Bigg Cosmetics and what a fantastic way to start! I really feel like this product was made for my skin. I'm a fair skinned lass and can find it hard to get a bronzer that doesn't make me orangey (hello oompa loompa!). This is perfection. The marbled powder gives me a great natural looking glow, is great for contouring and helps to set my foundation. Just luscious.

Garnier Perfect Blue Smoothing Base Perfector (RRP $16.99 at Priceline)
This gives me such a good base for my makeup. It hides my pores, smooths my skin and gets rid of any shine beautifully. Since I opened this I've used it almost daily - I can't get enough.

Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Colour Balm in 07 Super Strawberry (RRP $35 at Clinique)
This is a super moisturising balm which gives a great hint of colour. Perfect for everyday use. The only down side is longevity - the colour needs reapplying quite regularly but for me that is fine as it wears off evenly (and feels so good to apply!). They are a big hit to the wallet but for me it is justified. I NEED some more of these colours in my life.. I feel a shopping spree coming on!

Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector (RRP $50 at Clinique)
I unfortunately was blessed with dark circles that just won't budge - very frustrating. Now, this is no miracle product (I am still looking for one for my dark circles) as it hasn't made any reduction to my dark circles but it does help with puffiness, thanks to the cooling metal applicator, and it also brightens and hydrates my under eye area. I love the way it leaves my skin feeling and it is tinted so it does provide a small amount of coverage.

Be a Bombshell Eyeliner - Onyx (RRP $19 at Violet Box)
I have done a review on this product (here) and absolutely adored it. It is perfect for me and since opening I haven't touched any other eyeliner. It is easy to apply and wears all day. Perfect!

Mirenesse Sexy Secret Eye Primer (RRP $39.95 at Mirenesse)
From the name I first thought this was just an eyeshadow primer but quickly discovered it is easily used as a concealer. This works amazingly at covering up my dark circles and doesn't go cakey and lasts all day. It works okay as an eyeshadow primer, but for me it is much better used as concealer. I'm in love.

Mimco AliceBand (RRP $34.95 but I picked this up on sale for $9.95)
I adore this headband, it adds the perfect pop of colour to an outfit and looks great with my hair colour. It is super comfortable to wear and I've found myself reaching for it many times this month!

Tea Tonic Relaxation Tea (available at Tea Tonic)
I'm planning a wedding (eek 2 months to go!) so need as much relaxation as possible at the moment!! This is a lovely caffeine free tea which is tasty (a hint of lemon), smells good (a hint of lavender) and is perfect paired with a good book whilst putting your feet up!
