May Favourites 2015

Rubi Cheeks (Highlighter)

This highlighter is so pretty on the skin, I got this free in my gift box from the Hoyts Girls Night Out recently and I haven't stop using it since. It's a lovely peach/gold colour that is so pigmented! My skin has such a nice glow when I use it. This is the first Rubi make up product I've used and I really eager to try more of their products, they're definitely good quality. ( Just to note it says its a blusher but I find the colour is more suited for use as a highlighter)

Skull Watch

This is an accessories favourite that I've been loving this month. I wanted a new watch for more everyday wear and something that wouldn't break the bank. This watch was an absolute bargain at $10 and I love the design. It's perfect because its small and the fact that it was so cheap I don't have to worry too much about damaging it. It also goes with most outfits too which is another bonus.

I picked up this watch from Cheep in Caruosel. 

Maybelline Master Graphic Eyeliner

I'm always on the lookout for easy to use liquid liners, I seen a video Lauren Curtis posted about this eyeliner and she made it seem so simple to use. I picked this up a few weeks ago and I haven't used any of my other eyeliners since. This is AMAZING! It's so easy to make a thick or thin line by turning the nib of the marker at different angles. It's really pigmented and it last's all day. If you're looking for liquid liner that's easy to master then this is for you.

Rubi Shoes Tan Ankle Boots

Now that Australia is coming into winter, boots are a must have for your wardrobe. I own a couple of pairs of boots already but they're all black so I wanted something in tan or brown that I could wear with jeans and in particular navy outfits ( I own a LOT of navy clothes). I picked this pair up from Rubi shoes and I love them, the colour is perfect and they are so comfortable, if you follow me on Instagram  (username: lipstickwanderlust) you'll have noticed I'm getting great wear out of the altogether! :)
