June Favourites

This June i have accumulated a lot of new products, and thought i would do a "favourites". I have made a list of the top 10 things, old or new, that i have being loving for the past month.

#10 - True Match Foundation

For the past couple of months i have been using the Mac Matchmaster SPF15 Foundation, and had been loving it, until a friend of mine recommended i try the L'oreal True Match Foundation. Being sooo much cheaper i thought i would give it a go, and turned out i absolutely love it! The coverage is rather dewy, and produces a good base to work off. I personally like to finish off by adding coverage with the Rimmel Stay Matte, and a Mac mineralize Foundation. Overall, i found this foundation a total bargain, and a keeper... making it into my top 10 this month! You can pick this up at your local Priceline, Kmart, Big W... you name it.

#9 - Beanies

As its currently Winter in Australia i have been able to wear my favourite accessory pretty much everyday... a beanie! Between my brother and i, we have a HUGE collection of beanies... its actually a joke. These are my top 4 beanies that i'm loving at the moment... 

Crooks & Castle Praadigy Beanie

Brian Lichtenberg Homiēs Beanie 

Neff Daily Beanie in Mint

Diamond Supply Co Brilliant Fold Beanie

#8 - Toni and Guy - Dry Shampoo 'Cleanse'

Living in Aus, your hair gets very dirty and greasy quickly due to our beachy lifestyle.. so i use dry shampoo very often. Previously i used the Batiste dry shampoo, and loved it... except i hated the white stuff it would leave in my hair and i had to rub beyond silly to get out... so i thought i would try another. The Toni and Guy dry shampoo is, personally, i think better. Still a fan of Batiste, but i think this one has taken over, hence why it has made my favourites. 

#7 - 'Lords of Dogtown' & 'Dogtown and the Z-Boys'

These two are my favourite movie and documentary ever... and i just have to put this in my favourites because you have to watch them. Venice Beach in the 70's... what more can you ask for? 

#6 - Macrons - Adriano Zumbo 'Zumbarons' 

Everyone loves Macrons... i mean c'mon, they are tasty as ever. For my birthday my friends bought me a box full of the Adriano Zumbo 'Zumbarons'...and they are beyond words. Love them. He has also recently developed a line of home baking packets for his macaroons, brownies, cakes... and they are also beyond words... well done Mr Zumbo.

#5 - I Quit Sugar - Sarah Wilson

My mum purchased this book a while ago, and whilst i was bored at home, i saw this and decided to have a read... and has inspired me! As my friends and are a planning a trip to Asia/Indonesia at the end of the year, we have decided to go on a group fitness plan, titled "Bali Bod" - short for Bali body... and yes we realise how redic that sounds... but we try and make it fun. So i have decided that once i return to uni, i will start this lifestyle change...Ill let you know how it goes. So far i have made some recipes, and they taste delicious. Sarah claims she uses the same food products within different recipes, making it easier for us (which it does). My favourite recipe that i have tried so far was the 'salted caramel haloumi and apple'...brill. Props to you Sarah!

#4 - Rekorderlig Cider

For my birthday my friends spolied me by buying me tons of my favourite Swedish cider ever...as its not the cheapest drink I'm only like to drink it on special occasions. If you haven't tried this cider... and you are over 18 (or 21 in America) you HAVE to try it. My favourite flavours are Apple & Black current and Strawberry-Lime. I also realise how much this contradicts my "I Quit Sugar" post... but I'm just taking things slowly! 

#3 - Lauren Curtis Beauty - Youtube

I came across Lauren's Youtube channel whilst browsing make up channels.. and think i have found my new favourite Youtuber. Not only is she representing Australian products and style, but she's really down to earth and promotes the use of fake tan...which being a fake tan junkie myself, i love. She's dope... i especially love her 'Red Mahogany Smokey Eye tutorial' - its so sick.

#2 - SugarBaby - Salon Style Instant Self Tan

Being a boarder line obsessed fake tanner... I'm used to trying to find the best fake tan for my skin. Keep in mind, every ones skin is different, and this is my personal opinion. A lot of my friends had used this before, and said it was an excellent tanner.. so i thought i would give it a try... and love it! It's easy to apply, smells nice, and isn't too hard to afford, being around $20. I only used the spray, but the mousse is very good as well apparently.. so might give that a go. Thanks SugarBaby!

#1- Rihanna Collection - River Island

Being heavily influenced by the pop culture of our generation... i get inspiration from many celebs, with one of my main influences being Rihanna. Early this month i stumbled across the Rihanna collection for River Island (I understand i was very late in this phase, but I'm obsessed). Her collection is redic and i have already purchased a hat, heels and pants... and i'm especially in love with the following products...
