Winter Favourites 2014

Take a peek at some of my Favourites for the cold season!

// ONE //

Who doesn't love a dark red lip for Winter? Revlon Lip Butter in 040 Red Velvet (RRP AU$21.95). Looks scary in the tube, but trust me this is so wearable and a must-have this season.

Warm sweaters and jackets! I love choosing cute sweater designs and just pairing with jeans. Picked up this cute little navy blue, striped jumper today with heart detail on the elbows. Dotti are running an online sale with 30% off this (and more) at the moment! Get in quick, ends Sunday 6th July.

 Also very much in love with throwing my khaki green Topshop anorak over a tee lately.

Hooded Check Lined Jacket - Topshop (RRP AU$130.00)

Heart On Her Sleeve Jumper - Dotti (RRP AU$59.95)

Robes are a Winter must! This one is so comfy, and, paired with my cute slippers, I am set for a relaxing time at home on a frosty Winter's night.

Hooded Gown/Robe - Cotton On Body (Sale AU$20.00)

Knitted Mouse Slippers & Pink Sequin Slippers - Big W (approx AU$10.00 each)

 Hot Bubble Baths! I cannot go past the Shortbread Cookie bubble bath from Philosophy (RRP $30.00 Mecca Cosmetica/Maxima and also David Jones) - the only catch is it only comes out at Christmas time!
During the year I absolutely adore Milk & Honey from Bathox (RRP $3.60 any supermarket)

My skin gets super dry during Winter, especially my hands! I am loving this hydrating hand cream Hand Food - Soap & Glory (RRP $11.95 Mecca Maxima 125ml). Blog post to come on more awesome products I picked up from Soap & Glory! I'm so excited to try them all out.

And last, but not least...

Mecca Maxima Gold Coast

Mecca Maxima opening week, Robina Town Centre, Gold Coast

It's not exactly Sephora, but it's a pretty good substitute until Sephora comes to Australia.

As a Mecca Beauty Loop club member from the former, smaller Mecca Cosmetica, I was treated to a free Nars blush during the Mecca Maxima grand opening week at Robina Town Centre on the Gold Coast.

I got myself a Soap & Glory Hand Food moisturizer (shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow) as well, because it smells amazing! Will definitely repurchase! Keen to try some more Soap & Glory products.

Inside this little bag of joy was a mini Nars in Deep Throat (yes, we all know the shock factor of Nars blushes). 

In case you can't imagine the adorable size of this sample product, I've sat it next to the standard sized Nars blush in the picture below. SO cute!!!

Normal Nars blush on the left, and the teeny tiny free sample on the right. Adorable!

A great handbag addition, and fortunately one of my favourite Nars blush colours. Super versatile and great for wear in all sesasons of the year. Pinker in pigmentation to its cousin Orgasm, and a little less shimmer for a more subdued look. Win win!

Thanks Mecca Maxima! You'll see me soon for sure.
