August Favourites

My first favourite item I already discussed in my Luxe Box review. It's the Pur Minerals Pressed Powder. I've been using it constantly all month.  I love it because it takes two seconds to dust on in the morning and it's been great with the heat not having a heavy liquid foundation on.

From my last Sephora order one of the samples I received was Jack Black's Double Duty Face Moisturizer ($17).  I always have problems with moisturizers because my skin can get really oily and they tend to only enhance that and clog up my pores.  But, this stuff absorbs SO fast into my skin and almost leaves a matte finish on my face. I cannot rave about this product enough, I love it. Plus it has SPF 20 and has antioxidants in it to keep your skin looking youthful. 

Also this month I went to Shoppers looking for a new mascara to try out.  I just happened to pick up Physicians Formula`s Custom Eye Enhancing Mascara Duo.  I only bought it because it was on sale and I`ve heard a few makeup guru`s talking about it. Because I got it on sale I`m not sure what the retail price is but I believe it`s around $13.  Each tube has a black mascara and a coloured mascara that is supposed to enhance your eye colour.  I got the one for green eyes and the colour is green.  I`ve never worn a coloured mascara before and I must say it`s not as shocking as I thought it would be, it actually looks really pretty, especially if you`re playing with colours in your eyeshadow.  The black mascara is great too, it has a shimmer to it but no fall out.  There is almost zero clumping and it really separates, lengthens and curls the lashes nicely.  Probably my favourite mascara I've ever used.  The only downside is it isn't water proof, so any hint of tears and you have a runny glittery mess under your eyes. 

Lastly, I want to share one of my new favourite clothing sites, gojane.com!  I really like their shoes and tops and I even bought 3 pairs of shoes from them this month.  I love this site because they are always having great sales. I got all my shoes for 30% off. And for labour day weekend, starting today, they are having an up to 75% off site wide sale!!!! If you are a Hello Kitty fan then you'll be as excited as I am that this adorable purse is 30% off :) Also, one last tip if you buy heels from them, go half a size larger than you normally get. I had to exchange mine because they were too small.

Happy shopping!
