November favourites!

Ooohhh am I excited to show you guys what I've been loving this month! I've gotten some amazing goodies lately, some of which you've seen in the MEGA HAUL I posted a few weeks back! I have been eagerly awaiting to show you what I've been loving this past month. Let's get into it shall we?..

Too Faced "everything nice" palette
I CANNOT tell you HOW excited I was to get this palette. I got my girl to cp this for me from the states as I wasn't sure that we were going to get it here in Australia. I had heard mixed reviews on this palette, some seemed to love it, others not so much, so I was a bit nervous I wouldn't love it as much as what I thought I would. WRONG! I have used this palette every.single.day since receiving it. I am SO SO in love with this palette. It has *everything* you could want. Eyeshadows, blushes, bronzer, highlighter and mascara. Everything is pigmented and I have not been disappointed in anything from this palette. If you can still get it at your local Mecca, then I highly suggest you do. I love it so much!
*not exactly everything but definitely the majority of face painting essentials.

L'oreal Infalliable foundation in Vanilla
I tested this foundation out in a sample I got a while ago and loved it, so I bought the full size. To me, this is the perfect foundation. It's medium to full coverage and really does last all day. With the right powder to set (I go between Hourglass Ambient powders and Too Faced Sweetheart beads), my face looks FLAWLESS! My only gripe is, I got vanilla which is the lightest shade and it is slightly too dark, so even lighter colours would be awesome. Either way, I recommend if you're after something with a bit more coverage.




Chi Chi eyeshadow palette in Naturals
I had bought this as a gift for someone who didn't end up wanting it, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought this. I was blown away by the quality of this $22 palette. Chi Chi is a cheaper "drugstore" brand (even though it's stocked in high end department stores), but you definitely shouldn't be fooled into thinking this is any less of a makeup brand for the prices. It is HIGHLY pigmented and very smooth to apply. I will definitely be purchasing more of these palettes and from Chi Chi. This is the PERFECT eyeshadow palette for those just starting out. Plenty of beautiful neutral shades that all work very well together. If you get only one thing from this post of recommendations, this is it! PS. Chi Chi have a great xmas deal at the moment,  get 2 palettes for only $30!


Socialeyes Tease 2.0 lashes
I got these a while back and was actually intimidated by the size of these babies. They're at least twice as long as the lashes I usually use (either Ardell or Manicare ones), but I gave them a go and lemme tell you, they are great! They are so lightweight it's not funny. I expected them to be heavy because they are so huge. These are a half/ 3/4 lash so I do need to give my full strip ones. Try but going off Tease 2.0 alone. You won't be disappointed!

Garnier Micellar makeup remover
This is awesome. I previously has the Bioderma one and for the price, I think I used it pretty stingily, so I wasnt 100% sold. For a fraction of the cost and more than 3 times the amount of product, this is definitely the better option. It works pretty much exactly the same (I didn't see any real different, other than the aforementioned). The bottle is so big you could go swimming in this haha. It's very gentle and doesn't sting my eyes (however, I don't have sensitive eyes/ skin). If you want to try the Micellar makeup removers, definitely give this one a shot.

The Body Shop body wash in Vanilla Brûlée
I love The Body Shop xmas offerings, and this year is no exception. They always do Cranberry and some variation of Vanilla and another random scent. This year it's Glazed Apple. I definitely want to stock up on other goodies for the year, but so far I've bought the Vanilla Brûlée and it is delicious. We all know my battles with Vanilla, and although not my favourite, Vanilla Brulee is a warm, comforting vanilla scent. It's not super sweet, which is also nice and more wearable I think.

What the powder looks like. 

Matcha Maiden tea
If you haven't heard of matcha tea, it is a higher antixoidant form of green tea in a powder. It has many health benefits, same as green tea but intensified (or richer), if that makes sense. I first tried it at T2 with cold vanilla soy milk as a "summer" drink. Or you can have it simply with hot water for a winter tea. Very delicious, and I'm definitely all for antioxidants and getting as much as I can out of anything healthy. If you like green tea, you'll love this. It is quite pricy though, so if you're near a T2, have a sample before you go dropping them $$.
I got mine from matchamaiden.com. 70g costs $25 (including free shipping).
T2 also stock it at 30g for $24.

What have you been loving this past month? Is there anything you recommend I try?
