Beginning of the month means one thing here on BA HQ. Time to whip out the hits and misses of June! I’ve combined my May and June favourites and not-so-favourites in one post because I, er, forgot to do a May hit and miss list so … here you go! Things like that happen sometimes here, folks. I’m not that organised after all. 😛
I’ve also added a few non-beauty favourites this time which I love in June. Alrighty then, let’s get started!
One of my guilty pleasures when perusing YouTube is checking out travel videos. I like to see what people bring with them when travelling. It could be what they have in their handbag, carry-on bag or even handbag.
Why, of course I’m nosy! Aren’t you? 😛
A very popular search term is “what’s in my travel makeup bag?” and whilst I cannot be 100% certain that these people are serious about bringing that much makeup with them when travelling, I’d say I’m about 90% sure a lot of makeup is taken along.
I don’t know about you but it astounds me the amount of makeup one needs when travelling especially when it’s just a short break. For example, in a particular video I saw, this YouTuber brought somewhere along the lines of 3 eyeshadow palettes, 2 cream eyeshadows, 3 mascaras, 1 blush palette with 6 shades, 1 lip palette with over 10 shades, 3-4 foundations and so on. I’m not even exaggerating. You’d think she was packing her makeup for a long trip, right? Her trip was less than 2 weeks long. In a lot of cases, that amount could be one’s entire makeup collection!
This begs the question: how much makeup do you bring with you when travelling?
Man, I waited for months for the Maybelline Colour Sensational Colour Elixirs to be launched here in Australia. The US and UK already had this collection for months before this even touched our shores. I have Emma to thank for sending out the alert that this has finally launched in Australia.
I didn’t want to buy more than lipgloss to try out just in case I end up not liking it and wasting the rest. I stood in front of the Maybelline shelves for ages just trying to decide on just one shade. One shade out of so many. Such a tough job but one’s got to do it. 😉

Remember a month ago when I shared with you my thoughts on an instant Holy Grail chemical exfoliating serum from The Skincare Company? Since I absolutely fell in love and adored the serum, I thought I’d also pick the brains of the founder of The Skincare Company, Joanne Auld, to find out more about its philosophy, its products, layering of their serums and that B-word. Botox.
Oh yeah. We’re going there, people. We’re going there.
