Face

My two favourite powders to set my makeup are the Ready Set Go finishing powder from Australis and the loose translucent powder from Face Of Australia. Both are very fine milled and are great at keeping the shine away.

One of my favourite highlighters ever (not just an Aussie favourite!) is the Australis Mineral Face Highlighter in ‘Pearl’. It is a pink toned highlighter, so perfect for cool toned skin and leaves a subtle glow. I love using this to highlight the top of my cheekbones and my cupid’s bow.

Eyes

My favourite Aussie go-to mascara is the Multi Mega lash from Australis. It’s light, stays on all day and defines lashes! Great for days where you want defined lashes, while still appearing natural.

My favourite Aussie high-end eye shadows are the color discs by Napoleon Perdis. The texture of them is silky smooth and the colour pay off is the best! My favourite base shade is ‘Trench Coat’, a gorgeous taupe.

Lips

The best lip liner you will ever find is the Infinite colour lip liner in ‘Clearly Sealed’ from Models Prefer! When you can’t find a lip pencil to match your lipstick, this product is the solution. While it doesn’t give off any colour, it will keep your lipstick from bleeding!

My favourite Aussie lipstick, hands down is the Colour inject mineral lipstick from Australis! It is really opaque, great colour pay-off and is moisturising. My favourite shade, is the limited edition ‘Lick the icing’ and a purple shade from a few years ago which was just called ‘Limited edition 01’ (I think).

Nails

I love nail polish and have many favourites, but picture polish is one of my favourite Aussie brands! Favourite shade-Tiffany! As the name suggests it is the colour of those little blue boxes…you know the ones 😉

Another of my favourite Aussie polishes are the minis from Chi Chi. Favourite shades- Cat fight, a beautiful pink/purple metallic with a hint of blue shimmer and High Heeled Housewife (love the name) a taupe/brown shade.

I have 14 days left of my 60 day (beauty) spending ban, so I thought it would make the homestretch a little easier if I made a post spending ban wishlist.

There would be no point in doing a spending ban, if I was going to go and buy a heap of stuff after it, so this is a wishlist of a couple of items I’ve had my eye on during my spending ban (and resisted) and a few more expensive items that I can save for.

Products I have resisted during the spending ban

post spending ban wishlist

1. Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream in ‘Tok-I-O’- As soon as I saw this on Australis’ instagram, I knew that I had to have it! I own very few purple lip products, so this will be one of the first things I will buy post spending ban!
2. Maybelline Color Whisper in ’95 Mad For Magenta’- I bought one color whisper just before I started my spending ban, but didn’t actually wear it until a bit later. I loved it as soon as I wore it and knew I had to pick up another (or 2) after my spending ban.
3. Essie nail color in ‘Mint Candy Apple’- I have wanted this Essie shade since Priceline started selling the brand! Unfortunately every store I have been to, it is always sold out so I may be waiting a while to get my hands on this one!
4. Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse in ‘081 Fair Ivory’- A few weeks a go I saw the TV commercial for this foundation and saw that they have really pale shades. I thought ‘finally a drugstore brand that finally has a shade pale enough for me!’ and when I swatched them last week…I was so excited by this product! This was the hardest product not to buy during my spending ban! I could easily wear fair ivory or ivory (they’re very close in shades, Ivory is a tiny bit darker)
5. Concealer (not pictured)- I was looking for concealer the other day and realised that I don’t have any…at all! The last one I had started to smell funny, so I threw it out.

Products that I want to save money for

1. Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-con No.7- Plush Shadow in ‘The Tease 202’- When I heard that Marc Jacobs was releasing a beauty line, I was excited to check the products out. Unfortunately (as far as I know) they aren’t available in Australia, so if I want something I will have to use a mail forwarding service from Sephora. I love the look of this palette, but because using a mail forwarding service can be expensive, I may not ever own this….unless I decide to do a large order from Sephora.
2. Nars blushes in ‘Gaiety and Luster’- I have wanted these blushes for ages, but can’t justify paying $45 (from Mecca Cosmetica) for just one blush, although I may eventually get one or both from KissandmakeupNYC for $29 each. Which I think is still a lot to pay for just one blush!
3. Benefit Count Down To Love advent calender- I really want this, but as it’s $99 here in Australia, I will have to really cut back on my beauty spending if I do get it.

I didn’t end up posting a FOTD Friday post yesterday, but I will update you one my spending ban progress. I am happy to say that I did not buy any makeup/beauty product since last Friday! (despite looking at makeup stands in a few different stores last week)
