Our Favourites….in September

There’s lots of things we can’t live without but we couldn’t possible use them everyday. But here are a few of the things that we must and have used everyday in September.

Burts Bees Tinted Lip balm in Hibiscus (official Liptember Lippy) It goes without saying that we use this everyday, after all it is Liptember! It goes on nice and smooth and lasts on your lips for ages. It is only slightly tinted, just enough colour to make me feel like i don’t have a naked face. Oh and it also keeps my lips nice and soft and moisturised. Read about Liptember

David Jones Ultra Mascara in Black. I picked this up one day when I was trying to find a birthday present (i don’t think i did get that present) and I love it. The package says it’s volumising and lengthening but I’m not sure it does both. It smooths on my lashes easily and makes them look longer. I wear it everyday because it makes me feel like I’m ready for anything and it easily removes with warm water. RRP $14.95 from David Jones.

Eco Tan – Tan Away Glove. Now, one of us is not as keen as the other about self tanning. Honestly I just cant be bothered sometimes but I do like to have fresh glowing skin. So from the day I put my Tan Away glove in the shower not a week has passed without using it. I usually use it every 3rd day or so all over my body with my favourite body wash, followed by a lathering of moisturiser and my skin is feeling soft and silky. Click here to read the post

Mac Face and Body. Perfect for everyday or a night out on the town. Goes on nice and smooth and builds for more coverage (when I’m having bad skin days). I usually wear it how it comes for that dewy look but if I’m going out at night I will use a powder over it for staying power and a smooth matt finish. Read our post

Liptember….its Movember for Ladies

We don’t need a reason to buy any kind of beauty product, but when we discovered Liptember there was definitely a good reason. So everyone knows about Movember (all those hairy upper lips are so hip) well this is the ladies version of that (without the excess hair). In a nut shell we get to buy a special Liptembe Lippy and have to wear it everyday in September while raising funds for the Centre for Womans Mental Health and Lifeline.

Liptember was first launched in 2010 and was a great success. Over $55.000 was raised for the Centre for Womens Mental Health, the first genderspecific mental health clinic in Australia. This year Liptember have formed an important partnership with health beneficiaries the Centre For Women’s Mental Health, who provide national research and programs for gender specific mental health issues for women and Lifeline Australia, a 24 hour crisis support service connecting Australians with trained volunteers who can provide emotional support to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

We have told you previously about how great Burts Bees is so we couldn’t contain ourselves when we found out the official Liptember Lippy is Burt’s Bees Tinted Lipbalm in HIBISCUS! Can’t wait to get one and start the challenge.

If you want to find out more or sponsor us head to Liptember.

RRP$10. Burt’s Bees Liptember Lippy is available at Myer (make sure you buy it from the special box on the counter so a portion of the sale is donated)
