Makeup Haul

 

I've expressed my love for free shipping many occasions and it is one of my weaknesses. If I see it I feel obliged to buy something just to not waste the opportunity. This happened a couple of weeks ago and since I was in the mood I also bought a couple of items from another website. Someone needs to take my debit card off me.

Makeup.co.nz #003

So I was at uni and I was taking a little 'break' on Twitter when Makeup.co.nz had a little competition. The first five people to retweet got a prize so I hit that retweet button as fast as I could. 

 

Being the most amazing people that they are I was also sent a couple of the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks.

 

 

I won a 'How 'Bout Them Apples?' Cheek and Lip Cream from The Balm in Pie on Twitter.  This is my first Balm product and I mostly love it as it's miniature and it opens up like a book. The colour is gorgeous, cream blush confuses me so I've mostly been using it as a lip colour.

 

 

I chose to get Redrum* and Unicorn Blood* from Jeffree Star as I'm a sucker for reds and the other colours scared me.

 

These are amazing. They're very similar to the Lime Crime Velvetines in that it's a liquid lipstick and they last quite a while.  These don't dry out as much as the Velvetines which is a plus so they're not that uncomfortable to wear.

 

For me it was easier to use a lip liner beforehand so I could apply it nicely as my lips don't naturally have a defined line so I have to create one.  The applicator is very squishy and flexible and is easy to use.

 

When you first apply it you can somewhat feel it on your lips but the more you wear it the less you notice it on your lips which is great.  They last very well, for me it does however wear off on the inner section of my lips especially when drinking and eating but it's easy to just re-apply.  They come off easily with makeup remover, I use the Elizabeth Arden Eye and Lip Remover.

 

I may be jumping the gun a bit but Redrum would have to be my new favourite red.  The formula is great and the colour is gorgeous, for me it's the perfect red.  Unicorn Blood definitely lives up to it's name, it looks almost brown in the bottle and swatched it's a dark reddy brown.  This would be great for a night time look or the day if you're brave enough.  Overall I really love them, especially Redrum.

 

The Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks are NZ$32.  Makeup.co.nz are now selling Milani  products and it's exciting.  

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! A little fact for you all, I swatched both my arms as I realised it was impossible to take a picture of my right wrist with my right hand (the side of the button on the camera). I should of thought that through.

 

*These were sent to me but the review is all my own opinions.

Beauty Sale 2015

Hello everyone! This week was the first week of semester two so I am done with my placement, handed in my dissertation draft and my catalogue assignment. Hopefully I can start to make time for the blog as it needs some love.

 

So about a month ago my aunt brought me along to a pretty big cosmetics clearance sale.  She took me to the same one pretty much the same day a year ago which I blogged about here.

 

 

As you can see I pretty much got the exact same things I bought last year.  This time however I knew how amazing the Elizabeth Arden Makeup Remover is so I bought two bottles which were only $10 each.  One is already open because I couldn't just not wear mascara.

 

I kinda described the scents of the perfumes in last year's post so check that out; I pretty much copied and pasted the 'official' description. I'm horrible at describing scents, all I know is that they smell amazing.

 

I also bought a bigger bottle of the Juicy Couture for my Mum as it's her favourite perfume and she ran out.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! xx

 

P.S: Why has it taken me so long to think of using my bookshelf as a photography set for blog photos.  The idea pretty much occurred to me last night.

Makeup.co.nz #002

So I think blogging will only be once a week kinda thing for a while.  During the semester break I'm doing a placement for one of my papers and I have to do 60 hrs.  So I'm going in three times a week and the rest of the time is made up of me combating procrastination and trying to get my dissertation done (the draft is due at the end of break eeeeek). So yeah that's pretty much my life these days.

 

I do however always seem to make time for some online shopping. When I saw Makeup.co.nz had free shipping on all orders I had to have a look. Never one to turn down a great shopping opportunity I found a couple of things and made my way through checkout.

 

 

As you can see my love for anything red or berry coloured is still strong and I got these two.

 

Maybelline Colour Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil

I've been hearing many people rave about these pencils so I headed straight for the Maybelline section.  The colour is in 510 Red Essential (of course) and oh my god it's amazing.  It's like a lipstick but it's a pencil which kinda blows my mind.  First of all it smells amazing, like lollies, part of why I love it is because of that.  With it being a pencil you would expect to be quite drying but it's actually very moisturising. It goes on easy and doesn't dry on your lips which is a major plus for me.

 

Australis Velourlips

I've been wanting one of these for ages so I had to pick one up.  The colour is in Doo-Bai and is a dark berry shade which I love.  It's very similar to the Lime Crime Velvetines in that it dries instantly when you apply it.  It's great in that it doesn't smudge and lasts pretty long.  I also love the applicator as well, it's easy to outline your lips and then just fill them in.

 

Australis on the left and Maybelline on the right

 

One thing I've noticed with the swatches is that while Velourlips dries instantly the Maybelline Lip Pencil doesn't. Like I said it's very moisturising and at the moment it has smudged off my hand while the Velourlips has stayed put.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! Makeup.co.nz also now have the Jeffree Star Liquid Lipsticks which I have also heard are amazing so maybe that will be my next haul.

Stuff I bought off eBay #002

I'm pretty sure I can thank Cass for a number of purchases I've made because everything she blogs about is amazing. Case in point this brush which I saw her post about I think a month ago. Whenever I see the words 'cheap' and 'eBay' I have to have a look and on that particular day I was feeling spendy and bought it.

 

Cass said it was pretty good for contouring. I myself am a contouring novice so I'm not exactly sure why I got it but now that it's mine it can't hurt to do some practice.

 

What I do know is that it is very soft so if I don't ever use it I can just touch it and rub it on my face (that's not weird right?).

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! xoxo

March Beauty Box

Beauty Review is an awesome site in which you can find as well do your own reviews of products.  It's great when you are looking to buy and want to see how good it is before you take the leap and spend your money.  If you're a member you can also get sent products to review which is great.  Another great thing is Beauty Boxes, it's kind of like a mystery box. You don't know what's in it but you know it's going to be amazing. I bit the bullet and bought the March one way back last year and it arrived while I was in Australia.

 

 

The last image is what I got in the box. I chose to have an exfoliator and was happy to see it was from Skinfood as I already have their mud mask and love.

 

I haven't tried much of it yet but I'm pretty sure the lipstick isn't for me. It's in the shade Angle Pink which is really light and doesn't suit me at all *sigh*  I'm really excited about the other products especially the bobby spinners. I can't seem to manage regular bobby pins so hopefully they're easier to use.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post and have an amazing Easter break! Make sure to eat lots of chocolate because it doesn't count during Easter right? :p I'm on break now for uni so most of my time will be dedicated to assignments which have seemed to pile up :/

Beauty Joint #001

Last month or so I made my first purchase on Beauty Joint.  This was completely influenced by Cassandra Myee after I basically looked at all of her posts on what she got from the site.  I had an idea of what I wanted to get and as usual I went overboard in the lipstick department. 

 

Milani Baked Blush
I've seen bloggers say great things about this brand and after seeing Cass's swatches of hers I wanted to get one for myself.  I got the shade Rose D'Oro and it's a gorgeous rose pink with flecks of gold in it.  I got this shade as it looked like the less intense one but it's very pigmented so I need to figure out the right amount to use.

Jordana Lip Liners
I got the shades Sedona Red and Plush Plum, you always need a red and a purple lip liner.  They're really good for their price, they go on easily and nicely just like my Chi Chi one.

Wet n Wild Lipsticks
These were kind of the main reason for the purchase, I've read and seen people saying good things about them so I got some.  I, with no self control, got three.  From top to bottom: Sugar Plum Fairy, Mauve Outta Here and Cherry Bomb.  The lipsticks are great but they're very dry, you could always put a gloss over it.

Hope you all enjoyed this post! xx

 

Feel Unique #003

It's always a bad idea to go onto sites like Feel Unique when I'm board as there will always be something added to the basket which somehow I will end up buying.

 

I can't remember if I was looking for something in particular or in fact wanted them all but I've read great things about all these products so I just had to see for myself.

 

Maybelline The Eye Eraser

Lately I've been seeing this concealer being raved about by Essie Button so naturally I had to get some for myself.  I'm pretty sure you can't get these in NZ so when I found it on Feel Unique I was pretty pleased.  It's a bit different to other concealers in that you have to twist the top for the product to come out and oozes through a fluffy applicator. It's a bit weird but I'm getting use to it.

 

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Pink Gold

This probably was a bit unnecessary but the colour was so pretty that I just couldn't help myself.  Once again I had heard great things about these so thought I would get one especially since they were WAY cheaper online than in Farmers.

 

Rimmel Apocalips Matte Liquid Lipstick

I mentioned the red one in Monday's post but I also got another one. I was only going to get one but I couldn't decided so I got both. The other shade is Atomic Rose and is more of a nude shade.  Like I said about Burning Lava it's long lasting, had great pigmentation and overall is just gorgeous.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! xx

Red Red Red

When looking through my lip products I realise that one colour dominates the rest.  It's not surprising as when looking at lipsticks I'm immediately drawn to the shade of red. I can't really explain why, I just love the colour and I always see people *Taylor Swift being one* look absolutely amazing with a red lip and I just have to have it.

 

 

When looking at all these swatches I started to realise how similar the shades are... It's not intentional I swear.

 

Top to Bottom

 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Crème in 435 Love that Pink

Even thought it has pink in it's name it's more red that pink. It definitely had pink in it, and maybe orange making it not a true red. I'm pretty sure this was the first kinda real lipstick I bought, the purchase may a slightly been influenced by it's name.

 

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 985 Infra-Red

As it's name suggest it's a bright red with orange tones.  I remember almost not buying it but my weakness for all this red got the better of me and here we are.

 

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 625 Are You Red-dy

This one is more darker than 985 and is more of a true red which is why I bought it. I'd come to realise I like these shades of red more rather than the orange tone ones.

 

Rimmel Apocalips Matte in Burning Lava

One of the two 'lip glosses' that I have and is pretty amazing. As it's name suggests it goes on matte and pretty much stays on all day. It's the perfect red and could almost be a dupe for the one below...

 

Lime Crime Velvetine in Red Velvet

The Velvetines are known to be amazing and stay on all day. When deciding on what one to get I couldn't go past Red Velvet.  It's a little bit more of a brighter red that the Rimmel one but otherwise they're basically identical.

 

Rimmel Kate Moss in 107

As you can see it's more of your darker red, in fact compared to the others it's more purple-ly than anything.  I'm a real big fan of the darker winter reds, the more the better.

 

Lime Crime in Glamour 101

This shade is about as dark as they come which is amazing. It's kind of like a burnt brown-y red I guess but I love it all the same.

 

So that's my collection (so far) of my red lip products. Hope you all enjoyed this post! xx

Naked Basics Palette

I bought this last year as a gift to myself to celebrate me getting my degree after three long years.  I've always heard amazing things about the Naked Palettes and I want them all but I decided to start small so I went for the first Naked Basics. 

 

I haven't used them yet as my eyebrows are horrible so I just avoid the area all together and also I have no idea what I'm doing. The shades are neutral and gorgeous so they're perfect for everyday wear.

 

 

I love Venus, it's the shimmery one of the palette so need I say more. I have a weak spot for all shimmery things if you didn't know.

 

Other than that I love W.O.S and Naked 2. W.O.S is what I describe as skin colour (I'm not good at this) and Naked 2 is a warm brown and is just overall gorgeous.

 

From swatching it they're very buttery and have great pigmentation so I'm excited to try them out.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! This is pretty much the most expensive makeup item I own and I was very excited when it arrived.

iHerb #001

Hello again

This was the last online purchase I made for myself last year (I think), it was so long ago I can't remember.  I heard a lot about iHerb, mostly on the Makeup Obsessives Facebook page so I wanted to join in and bought a couple of things.

 

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush: iHerb has Real Techniques really cheap so it would be stupid of me to not get a couple of things.  I've heard people rave about this brush for putting on foundation, I've tried it once and it didn't go so well. I need more practice with it so hopefully I'll start to love it as much as everyone else.

 

Real Techniques Sponge: I've always wanted to try out a Beauty Blender so I went for next cheaper option. Like with the Buffing Brush I wasn't really sure how to use it, I need more practice.

 

Elf Undereye Setting Powder: I've watched Shaaanxo use and rave about it in many of her video's so of course I had to get some too.

 

Hurraw! Vanilla Bean Lipbalm: Once again this is a Shaaanxo inspired purchase. I got two, one for me and the other for my Dad as one of his Christmas gift's as he's always taking mine.

 

 

 

Real Techniques Your Eyes/Enhanced Starter Set: I went back and fourth deciding whether or not to get this. To save myself from buyer regret I got it and now I'm all set to navigate my way through putting on eye shadow.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! xx





Velvetine Dash

Hey

Last year I made a couple of purchases which I didn't manage to blog about so here they are.  This post was suppose to go up yesterday but I was distracted by the Golden Globes, I just love award season.

 

At the end of the year news broke that Lime Crime soon won't be available anywhere in NZ but the website.  Shipping from the website is $10 which is way too much for me.  I have a couple (four) Lime Crime lipsticks but I don't have any of the Velventines so I quickly jumped onto Makeup.co.nz and got myself one as well as a Tangle Teezer.

 

 

I've always wanted a Tangle Teezer just as an alternative and would be easier to take around with me rather than a bulky hairbrush. Of course I got a pink and purple one because I like everything to be aesthetically pleasing.

 

I had a difficult time deciding on what Velvetine shade to get but I eventually decided on Red Velvet because I'm a sucker for a red lipstick.

 

 

The colour is amazing! Sooo pretty. It goes on nicely, dries quickly, and of course it stays on for hours so I don't have to paranoid all day whether or not I look weird with worn off lipstick.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

Christmas Gifts 2014

Hey

I'd thought I would share what I got for Christmas as I'm always interested in what other people got for some reason.

Pretty most of what I got were chocolate/lollies and they're pretty much all gone now... I'll just mention the interesting stuff.

From the Parents..

Alarm Clock: I think my parents are trying to hint at something... Seriously though I do actually need this. During the holidays my sleeping cycle is just messed up, don't even want to say what time I woke up today.

Ring: This is one my favourite gifts. I just love bows and in the middle is a tiny diamond which my Mum had to mention as I never noticed it. It's just soooooo pretty.

Phone: This was my 'big/main' present. I put it on my list but I never thought I would get it so I was surprised.  My old phone was just annoying, it was old so it couldn't get any new updates and it was also pretty bulky and my thumbs were too big for the screen.

The award for the present I wasn't expecting but love the most is this, a new desk chair.  The photo is bad, it's more of a darker purple, but it's a purple chair! How cool.  Anyway for sure this is the present I will use the most, I'm even using it right now.

I also got some new pyjamas, earphones which I really needed as my others stopped working and my siblings and I got some Australian spending money for our trip which I am really excited about.

From the siblings..
My brother got me a ITunes voucher which was much needed. I wiped clean my IPod and put all my music back on. I've been meaning to do it for ages, feels good.

My sister's gift was really surprising but awesome.

How did she know!!! Seriously though how did she.  She's not really that interested in makeup, my Mum might have possibly told her but oh well it's awesome.

One's a matte and other is more glossy. 

The one on the right, the matte, is Showy Flamboyante and is a pretty pink shade and is perfect for summer days.

On the right is Vivacious Exuberante, a glossy pink red, a colour perfect for Christmas. I wore this on Christmas day and is what I'm wearing in my profile picture.

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

Smashbox Christmas Win

Hey

Welcome back everybody! Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years and are ready for what 2015 brings. This is the first post of 2015!

 

During the lead up to Christmas Smashbox, on their Facebook page, had a little 12 days of Giveaways in which everyday you enter and there are 12 winners. I of course entered everyday and I won something! It was very exciting. 

 

 

For that day you had to comment which shade of their new Be Legendary Lip Lacquer you would like to win. I chose the shade Currant and it's gorgeous.

 

 

The applicator is thinner in the middle and is very soft and flexible.  I personally like it, it's more malleable so you can get a more precise application of the product.

In the tube the colour looks like a dark purple but on the lips it's more of a berry purple. It goes on very easily, the colour is very pigmented and glossy.  The formula isn't thick and at first it's a bit more of a regular gloss but you can easily build up the colour.

This is one swipe of the colour

 

Overall it's very moisturising, doesn't dry out at all and the colour gradually wears off so your lips are still tinted which is great.

 

There is a range of shades which all look gorgeous as well.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

XO Beauty Haul

Hey

 

When I got my allowance (how often do I start off like this?) I made a list of all the things I wanted to buy. Getting my hands onto some new makeup brushes from XO Beauty was on top of the list.

 

XO Beauty is Shaaanxo's brand and sells makeup brushes, eyelashes and you can also buy hair ties and jewellery.  They're really good quality, not that expensive and since it's based in New Zealand I don't have to wait as long to have them.

I wanted everything of course but I controlled myself. Because of this I struggle choosing what to get, trying to figure out what was more important.

 

I knew I wanted to get another Flat Top Face brush, I use this to put on foundation (as taught by Shaaanxo, all I know about makeup application is thanks to her). I got another one so I don't have to worry when ones drying out from being cleaned. 

 

I also got a Lip Brush and Tapered Crease brush because they seemed like very important tools to have. I don't like being caught out in situations so I always make sure I'm prepared.  I haven't ventured into eye shadows yet but I have purchased my first Naked Palette, Naked Basics, in celebration for getting my degree. I know that the Tapered Crease is an important brush to have for eye shadow so I got it in preparation.

 

I also picked myself up some hair ties as I pretty much have only one and because they're so gorgeous.  There are three different styles to choose from, I went with the Original xo as I just love the simple designs and colours.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! I was tempted to get some eye lashes but I don't think I'm at that stage yet, maybe next time.

Once'it Purchases

Hey

Sorry there wasn't a post on Friday, I didn't feel like blogging so decided to take a day off.  Today's post is a another edition of my online shopping spree I did a few weeks ago.  For some reason I decided to visit Once'it and when I saw the Revlon sale I knew I would be buying something.

 

When I first looked through I thought I was going to get a lipstick but decided I had too many and went for a couple of lip glosses instead.

I got two Super Lustrous Lip Glosses; the one on the left is in Pearl Plum and the one on the right is Pink Pursuit.  They're not as pigmented as the Tanya Burr glosses, they give a light colour to the lips which make them perfect to go over a lipstick.  They're perfect to just chuck on to give your lips some colour and gloss.

I also saw a sale on hair ties/band things which I thought were really cute. They came in a number of colours but I went with the striking black with a colourful floral pattern.  I'm still figuring out how to wear it but will be a good summer accessory.

Hope you all enjoyed this post! xxx

Feel Unique Spree

Hey

A couple of weeks ago during my little online shopping spree in which I bought stuff off a couple of sites I paid a visit to Feel Unique and got some bits and bobs to try out.

Zoella Beauty Makeup bag/Pencil case

I like a lot of others were excited about the launch of Zoella Beauty and as soon as I got my allowance I knew I wanted to buy one of the cases.  As you can see I got the pink Guinea Pig one, it's so cute and I just love pink and the white polka dots.  It's pretty big, big enough for my brushes and other stuff so I'm really happy with it.

 

Tanya Burr Lip gloss in Afternoon Tea

Yet another famous beauty YouTuber's line which I had to get my hands on.  I had a hard time picking a colour, they were all so pretty, so ended up with this one.  The colour's very lovely, a soft shade of pink and it smells like lollies! YUM! It's very pigmented compared to other lip glosses I've had so you can just wear it on its own.

 

Rimmel Kate Moss 107

I've been wanting this lipstick for the longest time. I was going to buy it when I went to Farmers but there was none left, so I resorted to buying online.  The colour is amazing, a rich dark red which I am obsessed with, I'm pretty sure I want the colour in every brand of lipstick or lip gloss HELP.  My life now feels somewhat complete now that I have it.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

Beauty Repurchases

Hey

This post is a continuation from the one on Monday as I bought these in the same trip.  These however were things I've owned and really loved and needed to replenish as I was starting to run out.

 

Elizabeth Arden Makeup Remover
I've already written about my love for it here so I won't go on about it.  It's the first makeup remover I've used and will probably be the only as it is so good. My makeup comes off so easily and it is able to take off mascara and lipstick so it's the only thing I'll ever need.  My face also feels so smooth afterwards, it's amazing.

Revlon Colourstay
Once again please refer to another post where I express my undying devotion to it here. It's the best foundation I've used, though in saying that I've only used two and I'm pretty sure the other one was too dark for me.  Anyway it gives me a good coverage, I use the oily/combination one which help disguises my oil ridden skin.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
To finish things off I like to use this.  Once again I got this after watching Shaaanxo say that it was amazing, who needs another reason.  It works great for me, keeps my makeup good throughout the day. I use the translucent one but I really want to try out the others to see how they are.  The one I'm currently using has hit pan so I needed to get a replacement urgently.

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

Farmers Haul

Hey

 

It's the start of another week and once again I am still studying, it's like a never ending cycle. But fortunately my last exam, hopefully forever, is on Thursday so I'll be free! That basically means I'll be trying to find a job and other things to occupy my time.

 

A couple of weeks ago Farmers were having their sales which they have every Thursday and of course I couldn't resist.  What really drew me in was the 25% off Revlon Foundation as mine was running low and needed more. I of course got a few more things so it wouldn't feel lonely.

 

No Issue Jumper & Whistle Skirt

 

When I saw these particularly, the jumper I knew they had to be mine. The jumper isn't something I would usually go for but I couldn't resist the pink even if it is neon. It's nice and lightweight, the sleeves are in a knitted style so will be nice to wear on a cool night.  The skirt is a nice black skater style business type skirt if that's how you want to describe it and is very versatile.

 

 

Maybelline Colour Sensational, 625 Are You Red-dy 

You guys know that I have a problem when it comes to red lipsticks, I literally want all the shades there are. I probably shouldn't have bought this but oh well it's mine now.  This one is more of an actual red, not orangey or pinky, just a classic red. I justify the purchase as I don't have one of those, I'm obsessed with the whole pin-up look and this would be the perfect red for it.

 

Chi Chi Lip Liner in Fly Girl

I've always wanted a Chi Chi lip liner after watching Shaaanxo rave about them constantly.  I couldn't decide between nude or red so I went in between with a fleshy pink.  It really does go on smoothly and keeps my lipstick in place. I definitely need to get more.

 

Sunglasses

While we were there my Mum wanted to have a look at the sunglasses, the rest of my family got some new pairs so I wanted to get some myself.  I ended up getting two pairs as I just couldn't choose.  They both have a similar cat-eye shape, one is black and the other has a tortoise shell design.  To me the black looks more glamorous and the other more casual but I'll just wear them around anywhere.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! I got some other things from this shopping trip, they were repurchases and there will be a post on them on Wednesday.

Makeup Clearance Company Haul

Hey

Last week while wandering aimlessly around the city I came across a Makeup Clearance store in the Downtown Westfield.  It was the first time I'd seen it there and needed to have a look.  I got the chance on Thursday which was a special day as my Student Allowance finally came so I was in the mood to spend.  So yeah I kinda went a bit crazy especially when it came to the lipsticks, I was good though in that I didn't even go near the O.P.I's.

 

 

 

From Left to Right:

 

Maybelline 985, Infra-Red

I nearly didn't buy this one. I already had the three lipsticks and the concealer but I just couldn't help myself.  I can't resist a gorgeous red, and I knew if I didn't get it I would regret it forever.  I basically bought it so I could emulate Taylor Swift.  The bullet looks very red but when applied it's more of an orangey red but is still a gorgeous colour.

 

Revlon Super Lustrous 485, Raspberry Freeze

As soon as I saw this colour I wanted to get it.  I already has a Super Lustrous lipstick which I have raved about numerous times on the blog such as here so I knew it was a good lipstick.  The name is also what got me, the same goes with nail polishes if it has a cool name I'm more likely to get it.  I just like the pairing of Raspberry and Freeze, I dunno I'm a bit of a word freak.  The colour is a demure purple I guess, all I know is that it is gorgeous.  It comes off a more pinkish purple but still purple if you get what I mean. I'll stop now.

 

Maybelline Colour Whisper 290, Strike a Rose

I've always wanted a light pink colour that was more like a gloss type thing and as soon as I swatched this I knew I had to have it.  As the name 'Colour Whisper' might suggest the colour is more like a tint/lip-gloss situation. I love it, it gives a nice pink gloss to my lips and my fear of having patchy lips is not needed as it's not that noticeable.

 

Rimmel Kate Moss 103

I was so excited when I saw they had these lipsticks. Unfortunately 107 was not there *sigh* but I did find this colour which caught my eye.  It's a pinky nude which I thought was gorgeous. I don't really have a nude so I got it of course, it will be nice to wear just on an everyday basis.

 

 

L.A. Girl Pro Conceal

As soon as I saw this I knew I had to get it.  I've heard Shannon from Shaaanxo rave about it and use in her video's so I knew I had to find some.  I got the lightest shade that was there, Natural, so hoped it would be ok.  So far I've used it once and it wasn't too dark, YUS! I've noticed it's more thicker and more yellow in colour compared to my Collection Cosmetics concealer but I really like it.  My Collection Cosmetics one is definitely more brighter so will maybe be better suited for the under eye area.

 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! I'm struggling with studying at the moment, there is just so much to study and the lecturer's have given no hints to what the questions are going to cover *sigh* lets hope my memory has improved.
