December Favourites

Ah I cannot believe it is the end of 2022! This month has been hectic and I'm totally over this year. Let's just start 2023 already! Been a busy month and I wasn't able to update the blog as much as I wanted too. It has been difficult lately to write up posts so I think in 2023 I'll take a new approach to the blog. Will still be continuing on with the One Year Challenge in Style Boutique along with more Style Boutique related posts. In regards to music reviews, I love posting them however they aren't as popular as the Style Boutique posts and take more time. So I will continue to post them just not as detailed but there will be lots of lovely photos included! I will eventually get around to posting my J-Pop and K-Pop Collection as I haven't had any spare time to take photos for it. Plus I was hoping my last K-Pop order for 2022 would come in which is a Red Velvet album.

First off, I wanted to post this gorgeous Hermione doll I brought! I've been eyeing her off in EB Games for about a year now but she is always $40 there. I was in BIG W buying some Christmas gifts and she was there for only $15. Absolutely the most beautiful doll I've seen in a long time and she looks so much better out of the box. I have actually brought the matching Luna and Cho dolls too but don't have photos yet. Had to hunt those down but found them for $15 as well during the Boxing Day sales.

Gaming

I have actually been playing my Switch this month! I brought Mario Kart for it after putting it off forever. My friends are quite happy about that and I can finally play with them. E-Shop vouchers were recently on sale so I picked a few up to get some new games on the Switch. Been obsessed with casual puzzle or colouring in games. I wish Crosswords DS got a port onto the Switch as I love that game and it would be perfect on there. Thinking about getting a stylus to use for the pixel colouring games as it would be easier than using the fingers.

Beauty

Colourpop order finally came in and it was amazing! I've tried a few things out so far and I quite like them. The lip creme is really good and I was surprised at how well the colour turned out. I was worried it would be too dark on me. Rock Candy is a great palette and love the formula. I brought this one as I was on the lookout for some darker shades and some good silvers. 

Make-Up Haul - Revolution Beauty & ColourPop

My 2022 has been totally obsessed with purchasing make-up and I've become hooked on it! Years ago I used to wear make-up all the time but stopped for a while. Now in my current work position, it is easier for me to wear it each day. So I just started collecting items here and there and suddenly I've picked up quite a few! In the last month or two, I've brought a nice selection and it seemed like a fun blog post to write about each one! Revolution Beauty would be my top brand and it only takes one look at my collection to figure that out. At first I was purchasing it at Priceline whenever I visited a store and since their range is quite small, I decided to try purchasing from the Revolution website. It is a great site to use and I'll write a review at the end of the post!

Starting off with some lip products and this has always been something I've never had much luck finding the perfect product. When I was a teenager, it was always the old Lipsmackers or whatever lip gloss you received as a gift. Then I was using whatever lip balm I brought at the shop even if I hated it. Like I'd paid for it so I wanted to use it all up. On my first Revolution Beauty order, I brought the Fruity Pebbles Lip Oil and I was instantly hooked! It is so hydrating and I love how easier it is to apply. The scent I got was lemon-lime and sadly it was on sale so I couldn't find the other scents anymore for purchase. Since I liked the first lip product I got, on my second order I brought the Glam Balm in Coco Nutty Coconut, Cocoa Pebbles Lip Gloss in Hoppy and The Aristocats Marie Lip Gloss in Berloiz. All of these are amazing and have lovely scents. Perfect for popping in my bag and I do apply it a few times during the day.

My main make-up obsession is eyeshadow palettes and I have no idea why I'm so addicted to them. It started with a few and now I have stacks! I do actually use them all and cycle them so I'm not always using the same one. I already had the Joey palette from the Friends x Revolution collaboration from Priceline and found the Chandler one on sale on the Revolution website. The shades are totally me as I love bright fun colours. I kinda have a love hate relationship with this palette as it is super pretty but turns out it is super pale! The lighter shades like Hello Mr Bing and Erica barely show even with primer. Tulsa is too die for though! I like all the palettes in the Friends collection, but I haven't picked anymore up as the shades are similar to palettes I already have.
