July Favourites

This month I was quite busy, I started term 2 of Uni and went on a trip to Brisbane so I don’t have a whole heap of favourites (as I had other expenses in mind).


Despite this, here’s my July Favourites!

Jessup Brushes


I bought some of these over a year ago on eBay and since then I had heard they had released another range. I’m not sure why but it took me ages to pick these up and I don’t look back! For around $15 AUD you get a range of face and eye brushes that are super soft and don’t shed! My favourites are the powder brush and tapered blending brush. You can get them here.

ELF Fan Brush


This brush has been my go-to for apply blush this month. Blush is my nemesis, I find it super hard to apply however this makes is super easy and makes a really natural look. This brush is super cheap-only $3 from Kmart!

Maybelline Lash Sensational 


This mascara is insane! Even though I’ve never used the They’re Real mascara from Benefit I think it is similar. It easy to apply and just you need to get it! It’s quite a mission to take off though but I really don’t mind.

Biore Charcoal Cleanser


This cleanser is amazing it really clears up all the dead skin and unclogs my pores well. I use this everyday now, I feel like it’s a good mix between a scrub and a facial wash.

Australis Fresh and Flawless


This powder I have had for ages but I’ve been loving it this month! It’s super affordable and smooth. They actually released some more colours so I think when this one runs out I will buy the coour under this one as it’s a little too dark.

Maybelline Colour Drama Lip Pencil in Fab Orange


GET THIS NOW! It will change your lipstick game! It’s a reddish orange and is so fking unique and cool! I think it’s close to the Kendall lipstick from Estee Lauder but even if it isn’t-you need it! It’s $9.95 RRP so it’s an absolute bargain!

L’Oreal True Match Concealer


Why is this in such a small tube? I will have no clue but I love how well it corrects undereye circles although I think it could work equally as well on spots however it’s slightly too light for me.


I hope you enjoyed these favourites! Xxx

NYX Glosses | REVIEW + Swatches

So sorry for being MIA for so long loves! I just felt I needed a little break and I’m not too sure why but it felt good!

Anyway, I was in Target the other day and found these NYX glosses for only $1o! That’s a bargain if I ever heard of one! They’re from a holiday collection but I still thought I’d show you some swatches!


Firstly, I hate gloss. I don’t even really like lipsticks that aren’t matte, however I thought I’d try these out-just to see if I will change my mind.

Sorry about having no makeup on! I find it easier to take off lipstick as I can rub my entire face. 

These smell funny, kind of like medicine I had as a child I think. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how creamy and smooth these were! The gloss stays in place whereas others I have found will creep down my face. Although I don’t have a heap of glosses to compare them to, I think these are a great and affordable option if you want some more glosses in your collection! 

The red, in particular, is gorgeous! Even if I only wear that the price would’ve been worth it.
Although I’m unsure if NYX will still have this, I believe they will have more Christmas collections out this year which will probably be of similar formula/colour.



Have a great day xxx

Collective Makeup Haul

Hello and welcome to my giant (which is hard giant at all), haul! I went to Brisbane/Sunshine Coast last week and I bought a bit of makeup. I’m super excited to try out all these things! 


Anyway, onto the haul!

Mac Cosmetics



I went to Mac twice, in search of Mehr. Both stores didn’t have it unfortunately however, I’m thinking of buying it online soonish. I ended up buy Soft and Gentle (highlighter), and two lipsticks; Ruby Woo and Velvet Teddy.

Mecca


I bought the second Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette at Mecca, the first one I am addicted too so I think I will get a lot of use out of the second as well! The colours in the palette are more unique than the original one however I am excited to try them out.

Priceline


Well, it wouldn’t be a haul if I didn’t stop at Priceline. I purchased four of the Maybelline Colour Drama Lip Pencils and will hopefully have the full collection soon enough! For only $9.95 rrp, they’re perfect. I also bought a Rimmel lipstick.

Myer


Chichi Viva La Diva lipsticks are super amazing quality and as they were 25% off I chose three. The packaging is cute yet tacky but I love it so much!

Daiso


Daiso is a cute little Japanese store and almost everything is $3. I wanted to try something so I bought some face wipes and an eyelash curler. The eyelash curler isn’t very good but I have yet to try the wipes.


I may as well also include this cute pair of shoes I bought from Cotton On (however, they’re from Rubi Shoes). They were only $20 so they’re a super bargain!


Well, that’s all! See? Not such a huge haul but an exciting one.

Hope you have/had a great day xxxx
