November was yet another blink-and-you’ll-miss-it month for me, despite celebrating my 27th birthday, nothing really seemed to happen. I’ve been using quite a few of the same things on rotation lately, but there were still some stand out products that I thought it best to mention. My pick of the bunch for November: By Terry Ultra-Correcting Foundation, Benefit ‘They’re Real’ Mascara, Echolife Floral Facial Mist, b collection by Bloom ‘Barcelona’ Nail Polish & Byredo Gypsy Water perfume.

The Benefit Creasless Cream Shadow/Liner in the shade RSVP has been one of my most reached for products lately. I fell in love with the idea of a simple wash of champagne colour over the lid as part of a basic summer makeup look, and this does just the trick. The Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liners can be work as either an eyeshadow or a liner (as the name would suggest), but I tend to only wear them as all over lid colours. RSVP is a really gorgeous champagne gold shade, and exactly what I’ve been looking for in an eyeshadow.
The wear of these shadow/liners is pretty good considering I have oily eyelids, but of course it helps to wear them over a primer (I use Urban Decay Primer Potion). I apply it to my lids with my fingertips and then blend it out with an eyeshadow blending brush (Tip: If you are going to buy one of these babies, be sure to store them upside down to help retain their shelf life) The Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner retails for $34 AUD and is available for purchase online from
Adore Beauty.

This was my “last hurrah” splurge before embarking on
Project 10 Pan recently. Any beauty obsessed girl worth her salt knows about the now cult-status Naked Palette from Urban Decay. They will also know that this precious gem has been sold out for A VERY LONG TIME. Granted, I could have traded one of my organs for enough cash to buy one from someone selling them on ebay but miracle of miracles Sephora decided to get them in stock. And lo and behold… They are
still in stock. Also shown in this haul: MAC Lustre Lipstick in Lustering, MAC Fashionflower Beauty Powder in Apha Girl, MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Adventure, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Bonheur, Benefit D’Finer D’Liner, the Laura Mercier Silk Road Eye and Cheek Palette and a tube of the Mirenesse Sexy Secret Weapon Mascara which was a gift from
Adore Beauty.
