Current Obsessions | APRIL

-
Similar to monthly favourites, I've really starting noticing sine last year how I discover something and instantly love it and have become obsessed with it. So I thought that could be something could share.

And no, this isn't going to be all about makeup. Some months it might be, but as general as lifestyle obsessions, from beauty to skincare to clothes to music to food to an action etc. Everything that we fall in love with. I haven't planned on limiting the items for these cause I really don't want a fake amount of items to share.

I realise the bringing of the year is over, but I have to start somewhere right? 'Current Obsessions' seems to fit more than 'Monthly Favourites' cause while I continue to be obsessed with and love the item/s it's more of a passionate feeling of what I've can't be getting enough of!

So to kick it off here are this months' obsessions;

White Blazers

There's something about the clean and crisp look of them. Anything white with me, I instantly stain but I still love how casual and versatile the colour is, especially in a blazer.

Gold & White Chevron iPhone Case
I got this at the end of March and have been obsessed. A bargain of $19 from JB Hi Fi! I don't tend to gravitate towards gold but the white helps break it down for me and tone down the glam of the gold. I like chevron prints and this was a unique case with a smaller print that I hadn't seen anywhere else. The fact that it's shiny also gets me but it also means the scratches so easier and the OCD portion of me hates that but I remember that's life and it's only a phone case that can be easily replaced.

Decluttering Makeup {by mixing 2 foundations to get my shade}
I have a very dark and light foundation that I don't wear. One has shorter longevity then the other, so in order to use them up and get the longer longevity, I've been mixing the two together. These are the YSL Teint Resist and Revlon Colorstay foundations. I admit I don't get the proportions right every day but they are close enough that my face is extremely dark compared to my neck.

I like how it forces me to use what I have instead of reaching for something new. I have noticed that if I use too much of the colorstay, it breaks me out, so again it's a good way to still use up a product that I'm not so much in love with and let it sit in my collection.

Flowers in a simple vase

They add a feminme touch, some greenery and become a decor piece. Of course real flowers would add some aroma to the room but artificial flowers are easier to maintain, cheaper and don't require any water. I really want a vase of white flowers in my room to create some different interest and texture.

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
