July Favourites

Homemade Greek Coffee Frappe:

I tend to go through fazes. I will drink 2 cups of coffee for 10 days and then all of a sudden I won’t like it for a month or so. Very odd, but regardless of whether I will be off coffee again in the next few days I love Greek Coffee Frappes. So damn good and so much cheaper than Starbucks!

Makeup at ALDI Supermarkets:

Lacura is the brand and it is brilliant. I think it is stocked in all the ALDI stores. On a recent shopping adventure I bought the Lacura Mineral Foundation, and the blush. I think it is up for the best foundation I have tried since Rimmel’s Wake me up foundation. The Lacura line is so pigmented and the most you will pay for the makeup is $4. Bargain!! The Voluminous mascara could be better than Maybellines 'The Falsies' mascara. That is quite a big statement considering I am a mascara hoarder and have tried nearly every one out there in an attempt to get stunningly long and full lashes 

Rimmel 'Kate' Lipstick in 107: 

Until 2 years ago I never bought a lipstick. When I was a kid I would raid my Mum's makeup drawer and try all the bits and bob's in there. I hated lipsticks, they always felt so dry and almost chalky. I hated lipstick until one day I was brave enough to try a 'fire hydrant' red lipstick by Revlon. I loved the way it felt and would just glide on like a balm. I was converted. I made my first MAC lipstick purchase with the cult classic 'Russian Red'. Somehow I didn't think that was brave enough, so I tired 107 from the Rimmel range. What a beautiful colour?!?! A gorgeous, deep ox-blood/plum colour. And it is so smooth to apply and so long lasting! I wish I didn't have to save this colour for Autumn and Winter but somehow I think plum in summer doesn't go together too well.

St Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter Moisturising Lotion:

This lotion is so long lasting and so hydrating. It soothes any redness after shaving and prolongs your shave or wax if you use it twice daily.
