Stila Oil-Free Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer

 STILA SHEER COLOR TINTED MOISTURIZER

It thought i'd kick off the week with a review of the Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer. I have been using this tinted moisturizer everyday for the past two weeks and am so blown away by it. It is one of those products that perfect your skin's tone and appearance and still lets your natural skin shine through. It is perfect for girls who are looking for something light, undetectable and that has high protection from the sun.
I have been wearing this with my Clarins Instant Smooth primer and have been setting it with Revlon nearly naked powder and am amazed at the longevity of this combination. It stays put all day! So in love with this stuff!

J Bronze by Jennifer Hawkins Review

When I first heard that our Australian Sweetheart Jennifer Hawkins was releasing a tanning range I was quite skeptical, as often celebrity endorsed products aren't that flash. However, I bit the bullet and purchased the Dark Tanning Spray, Face Flawless Tan and the Instant Illuminiser. 

First thing is first, the packaging is gorgeous. It is sophisticated, simple and resembles the qualities of a high end product. I tried the Dark Tanning Spray first, and the first thing I notice was it's powerful scent. It has a strong coconut fragrance that is 'so sweet', and resembles Malabu Rum. It can be quite overpowering and found myself coughing and sneezing a lot! I wouldn't recommend applying this in a small space because you may pass out and die from the fumes! The spray nozzle can be a little blotchy so its is best to blend in the product with a mitt or your hands. Once I had applied the spray I tried the face tan which is a lovely light-weight formula that sinks into the skin instantly, avoiding that clammy, sticky residue that other self tanners give. The entire tanning process only took about 10min and soon it was time to crawl into bed and see how the tan developed over night.
9hours Later.....

Best finish I have seen in a self tan! It is a beautiful red based tan that looks so natural and deep. The red undertone gives the illusion of a fresh out of the sun holiday glow that is SO natural! Seriously this tan is Fantastic!

I am now on the 3rd day after applying and the colour is starting to fade. However, it is fading so evenly and still has that gorgeous red undertone that makes me look naturally sun kissed. This is my new favourite self tan that is a stable in my summer routine.

On to the Illumaniser. I was not as impressed with this product as I was with the others. This is a wash-off shimmer that can be applied to legs, arms, or anywhere that is exposed to an extra element of glow. However this illuminiser seems to had a lot of silver sparkles that actually makes my legs look dry and flakey. I kind of want to test this product out and a highlight for my face (ill let you know how I go). The scent of this illuminiser is heavenly and smells a lot like Marc Jacobs Daisy.
Overall not a fan of the illuminiser, Sorry Jen, but the self tans are Amazing!!!

Threw on my leather jacket and some connies and I'm good to go!

Top 5 Spring Lipsticks

I don't think you understand just how hard it was for me to narrow my favourite lipsticks to 5. I was so close to making this a top 15 lipstick post! But I did it, and feel so guilty about my other lipsticks that are back in the box feeling neglected. Oh gosh I actually feel sad! 

I have gathered a handful of 'some' of my favourites, ranging from super affordable to higher-end shades. The following 5 are the ones I know I will be reaching for over the warmer months. For me Spring is all about colour, and the brighter the better and for Spring I love to wear peachy pinks :) One of my favourite looks is simple skin, mascara and a rocking bold lip! I just find it looks so fresh and flattering, and a perfect way to bring a pop of colour into your 'get-up'. 

So without further delay I introduce my top 5 lippes. 

Ranking in at number #1
RIMMEL APOCALIPS - Stellar
This is such a vibrant and unique product that I have been wearing constantly since spring came around. It is a gorgeous coral with a strong pink tone that is just heaven on the lips. It is a great alternative to a standard red lip. As it is a Lip Lacquer it's not as dense as other lipsticks and the longevity of this product is unbelieve'a'bubble! I often wear this to work and by the end of a 6 hour shift it is till in tact. AND ITS ONLY $12.95!

Number #2
REVLON JUST BITTEN Lip Stain & Balm - 040 Rendezvous
This has been my go-to everyday shade for spring as it is super moisturising and stains my lips at the same time 'WINNING'! It is a sweet orange shade that is gorgeous with blues eyes as it will make them pop.

Number #3
CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine - 69 Flirt
This lipstick has been a staple in my handbag for about two years now. It is the perfect everyday shade that adds just a splash of colour to your lips. It is a gorgeous pinky-peach with a subtle golden sparkle that has a texture similar to a lip balm or light gloss. The only thing I dont like about this lipstick is that it does not last long on the lips. Other than that its pretty bloody nice :)

Number #4
YSL Rouge Volupte' Shine 14
I bought this lipstick duty free on the way to Bali a few months ago and wore it pretty much everyday while I was there. It is a bright peach that looks super hot with a tan! Iv been waiting with great angst for the weather to warm up so I can whip this beauty out again. AND it smells like mangoes!!!

Number #5
Mac - Sunny Seoul
This lipstick is just so pretty and preppy and I know it will be another staple this Spring. It is a darling pink shade that iv been wearing constantly over the past couple of weeks. It is very similar to Chanel Flirt, yet it is opaque and doesn't have shimmer.
