May Favourites

Hello everyone!

We’re at the end of the month and my uni break is almost over! Today I wanted to bring you a classic favourites post, I wish I did them more often, but I just forget to TBH. Anyways, we’ve got a mix of skincare and makeup in today’s post, and a few classic features!

Makeup:

Bourjois BB Cream

I got this from Priceline in their half price sale, it’s normally $25 which for me isn’t a totally ideal price, I mean considering that it’s drugstore. I find it so hard to match my skin to a foundation, it’s never the right colour so I was surprised to see that this BB cream worked well for me! It helps even out my skin tone and covers some blemishes, but not entirely of course. I wear the shade 02/medium and yeah, I’m loving it. It’s pretty runny – the formula, but I love it for no makeup makeup days. Ever since I was in highschool, I really struggled with acne and I didn’t exactly know how to cover it because I got into makeup late. My skin has healed sooo much since my teens and I just love this BB cream because when I had bad skin a few years ago, I would just wear foundation and not even consider something like this, because it didn’t cover it well. Now a days, I love letting my skin breathe and I’d wear this to work when I’m not bothered to do a full face. Also on a side note, it’s a shame to see drugstore BB creams have such little shade range. I searched far and wide for a good BB cream, constantly swatching and trying to match up, but most of the shades were light/beige which is pretty disappointing. Would love to see more tone diversity in drugstore makeup!

Too Faced Peach Perfect Setting Powder

If you follow me on IG you’d know that I love this setting powder, I’ve been using it for a year now, and it will last you ages. Smells amazing and works so well. It’s a shame that Mecca has raised the prices of it because I got it in 2019 for $49, and now it’s $53. Still pretty good considering most high end setting powders, though I wish Australians didn’t have to constantly cop a price increase.

Revlon Glow Lip Oil – Bouncy Beige

A great addition to my lip product collection. I have 3 of the shades and gifted the last shade to a friend. I didn’t like this at first, but I love it now haha. I pair it with the Savvy lip liner in currant – best nude lip! Doesn’t last that long per se because it’s an oil, but you can easily reapply and there’s no drama! Love it and can’t stop recommending it!

Skincare:

Youth to the People Overnight Mask

I got this in a Sephoras Favourites box and it’s quite nice! I love the ingredients and vibrant colour. It’s a pretty good overnight mask, I wake up with softer skin and I haven’t had any reactions to it or anything. Tick and tick! I definitely want to try more from the brand, I keep hearing and seeing such raving reviews from their products so I defs need to check it out.

The Chemistry Brand Hand Chemistry

I got this for half price at Priceline! Such a bargain and I’ve wanted to purchase this forever! It smells so nice and it’s a really unique hand cream. I haven’t tried anything from the brand before, but I’ve heard good things as well. Anyways, this hand cream is so lightweight and isn’t greasy, it smoothes my hands so well and I just keep it in a drawer on my desk, for whenever I need! Invest in a good hand cream and you’ll thank yourself in the future!

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

We all know this one, I got mine from Sephora and it’s the Berry flavour. I stopped using this for a while, but last month/this month I’ve been really going at it. Sometimes my lips just get randomly dry to the point that lip balm is just not cutting it. I pop this on and I wake up and everything is fine again! I’ve pretty much finished it now, it took some time, but I got there!

That’s it for my favourites this month, what were some of your favourites from this month?

See you back here next week!

With love,
