Friday Favourite | Tangelo

Happy Friday everybody! I hope you all have been having a splendid week and are looking forward to an even more splendid weekend! Today I have my first Friday Favourite post, where I will be posting some of my favourite things for you to enjoy. This week's favourite is not an item but a colour that I've been obsessed with recently, which has been named by a quick Google search as "tangelo". As it is the middle of winter in Australia (although the existence of winter in Brisbane is debatable), I've been really enjoying having a pop of colour to keep me out of my go-to wardrobe of black, black and black. This colour brightens things up but isn't vampy like your traditional winter reds, so it's great for an untraditional Australian winter. My three favourite items in this colour are listed below.



1. My (dupe) Michael Kors wallet
This has been a recent acquisition as it finally arrived in the post the other day. Having a bright wallet is great because it makes spending your money a little more fun. It also is great because if you just want to carry it, it still makes a statement and will brighten up a winter outfit. I've been obsessed with Michael Kors wallets for a long time so having the faux MK brand just makes me feel luxurious without the hefty price tag. I know that people are opposed to dupe brands but I have a tendency to wear wallets out quickly so I am enjoying this one for now.



2. Maybelline Color Whisper in #40 Orange Attitude
I'm not going to lie; the only reason that I bought this is because needed to spend a little extra in order to receive a gorgeous rose gold makeup bag, but oh boy am I glad that I did! From the first time I wore it, this has become my go-to lip product. It was the first Color Whisper that I tried and I absolutely love the line! I love the sheer coverage that makes it more like a balm than a lipstick, without compromising on pigmentation. The colour is buildable too so if you were looking for a more opaque orange then it is definitely achievable. I can't say enough great things about this product, and I have never gone through a lipstick so quickly from such frequent use! I will definitely be repurchasing another in the near future to make sure there's not a time when I don't have it in my life!


3. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in #560 Kook A Mango
After a solid four months of obsessing over nude and neutral nail colours, it came as a shock when I suddenly decided that I HAD to have this colour on my nails! I've had the same colour on for a solid month and I'm still not tired of it. I love the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure range. I'm yet to have one dry out on me and I love the formula and how quickly it dries. My absolute favourite thing about them is the application brush. The only other nail polish I've had with a wide brush is the Rimmel range (which I love but often dry out very quickly), and I haven't been able to use a thin one since. As someone who is absolutely useless at painting my nails, the brush makes a huge difference and I will definitely be buying more colours from the range in the future. This is definitely my favourite nail polish right now, so the fact that they had my favourite colour just served to seal the deal.

So that is my Friday favourite for this week! Let me know below what your favourite colour of the moment is, or if you've seen anything in this colour that I can get my hands on! I recommend all of these products and if you're looking to put a pop of colour in your winter (or even to brighten up your summer!) then look no further!

I hope you have an amazing weekend!
XOXO
