By now I think you will be aware that I love a lot of products from Essence Cosmetics. They are one of the most affordable brands you can get (in NZ at least) and is now readily available at many Farmers across the country. They always come out with super fun 'trend' collections each season, and these products I'll be talking about today are some new additions to their range.

I've had months and months of huge empties post, but finally, the June roundup is a little less crazy. I am sure that my July Empties will be a biggish one (I did a massive clear out of old makeup and beauty bits). This bunch of products have pretty much been my go-to's for a while and I really like them all, but let me elaborate further.

June literally passed by in a flash, at the time it seemed to drag on but now looking back I can't help but think where did the month go? The majority of my June was spent down in Christchurch for my job. CHCH is my hometown so it was nice to be down there for a while and check out what's new in the ever-changing city and catch up with old friends and family, however, I was really missing my Auckland home and my partner. It's great to finally be back and get back into my blog properly as I felt like it suffered a bit while I was away and I was lacking a lot of motivation to write. As I was away for so long I also only had a small makeup bag of products, not my usual selection that I have at home, hence why I only have a very small selection of favourites for the past month. So mini June/life update aside, let's kick into the beauty...

It is June. Let’s just let that sink in a little bit! It really doesn’t feel like June and I have to keep reminding myself that yes, we are almost a whole half a year down. So let’s talk about May for a little bit - I’ve got quite a few favourites from this past month, most of which are all relatively new!

As always, it's time to round up my empty products from April and share some mini review of them with you all. This month my bag of empties was overflowing... I don't know how it happens but it's like everything I use finished all at once! I have a quite a bit of makeup and skincare so this might be a long one...

It's that time again where I share with you all my Most Loved products from the past month. April whizzed by so quickly and I can't fathom that it is now the first of May and it's nearly a month since my birthday! I couldn't really pinpoint a whole lot of products as most I have featured in previous months and they continue to be in my makeup rotation, but there are some new additions which have me really impressed me and I've been reaching for them a lot.
