November Favourites

Just another monthly favourites for today with November all done and dusted. I'm just ready for December to be over as well! We had Black Friday week just end and it wasn't too crazy this year. I think most people shopped early due to stock shortages or did it online. It was nice to have less customers around the place in the current times. The weather is finally warming up and it will be interesting to see how our first summer goes with wearing masks. Going to get better humid as well as they are predicting a wet summer and I feel the humidity a lot more with masks. I actually have to sew more masks as I've worn all mine out! The joy of wearing them 8 hours a day for work. Anyway enough chit-chat, onto what I've been enjoying this month.

Gaming

The new Animal Crossing Series 5 amiibo cards came out this month and whilst I did not get Dom the Sheep in any of my packs, my friend did! And she traded him with me! I'm so happy to finally have him in my town and I would've never thought it was possible. He is absolutely hilarious and fits in well with all my other sheep villagers. Gaming wise I've been playing a lot of the new New Horizons update as well as some 3DS.

In December, I am planning on doing a new Style Boutique outfit challenge series. I only really thought of it the other day and it will be pretty basic. But I thought it would be a fun way to end the year! So please keep an eye out for that soon!

Beauty

Managed to make it into a Priceline store this month! The store that was close to my work moved to the far end of the shopping centre so it wasn't as easy to get too. I visited the store in search of this specific palette which I hadn't been able to locate. Lucky this store had it and I finally own the Australis Barbie eyeshadow palette. Yes I mainly brought this just for the Barbie branding. I've actually been wearing eyeshadow a lot more recently and wanted to build up my collection. The colours in this palette are very pretty and I strangely like the brown tones more than the pink ones!

Make-Up Collection & Reviews

Recently I was doing some decluttering and getting rid of some items I no longer needed. One of thing things I organised was my make-up collection. Now I used to wear make-up all the time about a year ago, but nowadays I rarely wear it. So I thought it was time to take a look through my collection and review the products I own to see how well they actually work. I'm not a huge collector of make-up as it can be quite expensive to buy in Australia and I just wear basic stuff. So here is a look at my make-up collection! I've listed the RRP of each product so it gives an idea of whether the product is worth the money or not. The RRP is in Australian dollars so you might notice that some products may be more expensive here than in your country. I always buy my make-up products on sale because you can usually pick them up for about 25% to 50% off at Priceline or even at supermarkets. I've also listed a rating out of five for each product to gauge whether the product is good or not.

Australis - Primer The Original
I picked this product up one day because my original primer had stopped being produced. I'm not too knowledgeable about primer but I find this Australis one works way better than the Face of Australia one I used to use. The formula is great and creates a matte finish. It works well with my type of skin, but I wish it worked a bit better in filling in smile lines and under the eyes (the joys of getting old).
RRP: $14.95
Rating: 5/5

Australis - Make-Up Finishing Spritz
Not sure about this product, this is the first setting spray I've used and I guess it works. My make-up stays on during the day and it doesn't seem like the make-up (especially powder) comes off if you touch it. Reviews on Beauty Heaven has similar responses to my review with people not sure it the product works or not. But I guess it's better than no setting spray. The spray smells nice and would be great as a mist spray if you were travelling or on a hot day. I've started using the spray to set my brows as I don't use any other products on them. I'm lucky to have thick eyebrows that have that trendy look to them. One tip with this spray is the wait for your mascara to dry before using it as it can make it streak and transfer the mascara onto the skin.
RRP: $15.95 for the 150ml bottle. I actually have the 50ml one which is available at Coles and I brought it on sale for about $6.
Rating: 3.5/5
