I have been an extremely good girl this year. I've become quite savvy with saving money and have repeatedly opted against going on huge shopping sprees. After months of being quite good and only splurging here and there on drugstore makeup I decided it was time to go to Mecca Maxima. Albeit I didn't go CRAZY and buy up the whole store but I did buy a few bits and pieces that I have been wanting for ages. I also got a free beauty box from Mecca so a few of these items are from that.

Nars Laguna Bronzer: Have been after this for agesss so I knew it was time to give in to the temptation. Used it once last night and so far I really like it.
Blush Duo of Hot Sand and Orgasm: A blush and a highlighter duo? Yes please! Orgasm has been a cult favourite for years so the beauty blogger in me just had to buy it.
Stila Stay-All-Day Liquid Lipstick in 'Perla': I've never tried this formulation and even though I thought I was done with my phase of liquid lipsticks..I just couldn't resist? As soon as I swatched it on my arm I had to buy it. Have worn these the last two days and I love it.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray: Not only does this smell amazing but it was only $9! As a big fan of dewy makeup and facial mists it was something I really wanted to try.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara mini: Got this in the beauty box, score! I really rate this mascara so i'm glad i've got another one.
Stila Stay-All-Day Liquid Lipstick in 'Rubino': Another mini from the beauty box. Haven't worn this yet but the colour it is right up my street.

 Hey guys!

So it dawned on me: I haven't done a monthly favourites since October. OCTOBER.

I mean it isn't exactly the biggest deal seeing as I haven't changed make-up products for months and months (gosh i'm a sad excuse for a beauty blogger) BUT I have recently mixed it up quite a bit. So therefore I think it's only reasonable to give you the 4-1-1 on what I am loving.
1. Urban Decay - Naked 3 Palette
I'm sure no one is gasping in surprise at this having a lil feature in my favourites. I like this palette in particular as i'm able to get a bunch of different looks out of it (soft pink eye? check. bronzey eye? check. smokey eye? check). With these eyeshadows being high quality it's no surprise why everyone and their dog has heard about these.
2. Bourjois - 'Jasper Rose' blush
Anyone else not really a blush girl? I've never been into blushes as my cheeks go pink at anything (the cold, the hot, when i'm embarrassed etc). This is pretty much the only blush I wear. It's just a subtle pink which adds a healthy colour to my cheeks.
3. Priori Mineral Powder Foundation
Trust me I never thought i'd be a mineral power person but this stuff is amazing. Looks natural, has great coverage, quick to apply, and so longlasting. I've had this for years and everytime I go back to it i'm like "how did I forget how good this is?!".
4. Soap & Glory - Archery 2-in-1 brow
This handy product has been my go-to brow product ever since i've purchased it. I use both the pencil and setting gel everyday and my brows have never looked better. 
5. Too Faced - Better than sex mascara
Not shocked that this mascara is so highly talked about, it's probably the best volumising one i've ever used. I use this in conjunction with a curling mascara as on it's own it doesn't really give a curl to my lashes. Really liking it though.
6. Maybelline - Eyestudio gel liner
Ever since I have started using a gel liner my winged liner game has leveled up. I put it down to using this product though - it's so easy to apply. Most times I use sticky tape to help get that crisp line - it works a treat.
7. My 21st ring
A bit random, but eh, why not add this in. I got this for my 21st birthday and am so fond of it. My fingers are on the stubbier side so this is the perfect size that doesn't draw attention to them.
8. Cactus iPhone case
Best $1.50 i've ever spent on ebay! I got it from this place. I just think it's cute.
