December Favourites

Hi everyone and welcome to my December favourites post! With December meaning Christmas I was able to buy and receive a bunch of new products to try out (and maybe even fall in love with). Many of these are high-end because it was Christmas time and so I decided to splurge. I have a range of products including makeup and skincare which I would like to share with you all. Enjoy! 

Face of Australia precision brow pencil- Taupe

I have done an entire review on this product already (click here to see it), however I love it so much I decided to add it into my monthly favourites for December. This product is amazing quality, the pencil has a great texture and application and the value for money is astounding!

Cost: $8.45 AUD

Napoleon Auto Pilot eye and lip makeup remover

 This is the first actual eye makeup remover (in a liquid form) that I have tried. I always used to simply wipe away my eye makeup with makeup wipes ($2 ones at that). I received this for Christmas as part of a set that contained a face primer, lip primer, sample size eye makeup remover, sample mascara, five makeup wipes and five serum testers. This stuff is a holy grail for me. It is literally AMAZING! It literally only takes a few drops onto a cotton pad, one or two swipes and BAM!! All your makeup is gone. Mess up your eyeliner? Grab a Q-tip, put a few drops on and wipe away to reveal a blank canvas ready to start again. 

I will be doing a full review with demos in the future so stay tuned to look out for that! I cannot rave about this product enough. It is amazing. HOLY. GRAIL!

Cost: $39 AUD

FOA liquid eyeliner

 I am very new to eyeliner. This is my second ever eyeliner I have purchased and I have to say I love it a lot more than my last. The last one I had was a felt pen liner by Rimmel and it wasn't very good. The pen was too large, my liner would flake after two hours and pigmentation was dull. 

This is a game changer! It is so much easier to use and I can get so close to the lashline. It is such a versatile liner- you can create a thin line for a more neutral look or a thick, dramatic line with a wing for a more nighttime appropriate look. For a beginner like me, this product is amazing. 

Cost:$8.95 AUD

Napoleon contour kit

 

I had never contoured before in my life before buying this kit. I am still trying to perfect what I have come to call an art however this product makes it easier for me. The colours themselves are perfect for me- from the cool-toned mocha brown to the cream-white, shimmery highlight it's amazing. I love how everything I need is all there in one compact, sleek design: My blush, contour shade (or bronzer) and highlighter. I absolutely love this product and recommend it to anyone. 

Cost: $65 AUD

Spin for perfect skin

For almost two months I found myself debating over whether or not I should get a facial cleansing brush. Everyone raved about them but I couldn't understand it- my theory was that it would be too harsh on the skin and would cause more harm than good. Oh, how wrong I was.

It was around christmas time that I decided why not and asked my grandmother to get it for me. With a coupon code, I was able to get this bad boy from the Vanity Planet website for $45 AUD (including shipping).

I don't want to give too much away because I will be doing a full, in-depth review and demo in a few weeks... But I love it. 


Cost: $100 USD (for a coupon code simply look up reviews of the product on YouTube, and most youtubers have a code- you will have to be subscribed to their channel to use it)

 Givenchy Dahlia Divin perfume

This one was also a Christmas present and I have but two words for this perfume: marry me. I am extremely picky about my perfume. Extremely. If it has musk, I don't want it. Too sweet? Nope. Too strong? Not in a million years. I went perfume shopping with my stepmum and she knows this too well.

If you love floral, fruity scents that aren't too subtle but not too overpowering you'll love this one. Givenchy, I am sorry for mispronouncing your name when I first met you. Please forgive me my love.

This perfume is my absolute favourite. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous- it's simple yet elegant and the scent is to die for. Yes, I have expensive taste. Yes, you should try it too. Yes, I will continue re-buy this perfume for all eternity. 

Cost: $119 AUD (50mL)

I hope you all enjoyed my December favourites! Have a lovely week and I'll see you all in my next post. Please comment if you liked this post and if you have any requests!
