Matte Liquid Lipsticks | Brand Comparisons

Matte Liquid Lipsticks were huge in 2015. It feels as though every brand you could think of brought some out. Huge brands such as; Colourpop, ABH, Jeffree Star and Stila to name a through, have released their individual matte liquid lipsticks.

For the last couple of months, I have been collecting a bunch of different brands of matte liquid lipsticks to try and review for you! These are just a few, however; I know this is going to be a long post. Hope you enjoy! PS: I don't like to wear face makeup when doing lip swatches, as I find it difficult to remove-sorry for the ugly!

Online Purchases | HAUL

Hey Guys!

As you probably know, or can assume: I LOVE ONLINE SHOPPING. It’s the absolute best, I mean sitting with no pants whilst buying things, is there anything better?

Recently I have collected a few things so I thought I’d share what I got.

Beauty Joint

This was my first purchase from BeautyJoint, despite spending hours at a time putting items into my cart. I’m quite weary when it comes to a new shop for the first time. However, obviously everything was fine and great and I think I am now addicted.

Shipping was super-fast, I live in rural Australia so I expect that parcels take time, especially when coming from the US, but this took around 2 weeks.

I picked up;

LA Girl Pro Conceal

Jordana Extreme Lash Mascara

LA Girl Matte Liquid Lipstick in Instinct

LA Splash Liquid Lipstick in Rose Garden

3 Elf Liquid Lipsticks

Asos

I’m addicted to Asos. I check it constantly, every day, as though it is another social media. They have so many brands and have such a huge range of prices and clothes. I love it.

I got:

This shirt was actually shorts, they sent me the wrong item from the set however, I don’t mind.

A white 70’s style crop with rusty edges.

This checked playsuit/pinafore. I should have looked at this better to see if I would actually wear it. Not sure if I would now that I have it-oh well.

A white and thin black striped dress, which by the way, already has a stain because I am a child and cannot eat properly.

Boohoo

Boohoo has been a little bit of a nemesis of mine in the past, their sizes are always so random! I wanted some skirts though, and these ones were cheap as chips.

I got this Cher from Clueless type one which I am actually in love with! I love the buttons.

I also picked up this mint green plaid one which is stretchy, but does fit well.

I’ve wanted a pair of culottes for so long ever since, StealTheSpotlight has raved about them so I bought this pair however, I just don’t think they look right on me, eh!

Well, there are some of my recent online purchases, what are your fave go-to stores? 

A Thrift Haul

Whyyy hello there peeps!

Yesterday, Katie from stealthespotlight (one of my absolute fave aussie youtubers), uploaded a video of all her top trifting tricks.

I took this as a sign that I needed to visit the thrift stores. I have been thrift shopping a couple of times and they’ve either been 

super successful, or a waste of a trip.

Today, I picked up a bunch of stuff and I thought I’d share it with you all.

I bought this plain black pleated skirt. It can be high waisted which I love and it was only $5, super bargain.

Another black skirt, which surprisingly looks similar to the first one. Also $5, also a bargain.

I bought this high waisted knee length skirt however I think I will hem it 2 inches as it comes a bit lower than my knee.

This camo shirt with faux leather sleeves is super casual for an everyday look if it were paired with jeans.

This shirt is huge and navy. I keep very low-key with my outfits and usually only wear black/white however, navy is always an exception.

This is a nice cream jumper; however it looks a bit yellow in this. It’s so comfy and I’m so excited to wear it.

Ugh I have so many shirts and I was so excited to find these pants. They were in a pile so I’m not sure if they were someone else’s but I think they just forgot to put it back.

This cream shirt has a collar that I love so fking much! A nice iron and this shirt will be good to go!

This is a navy shirt with white lines on the sleeves, and is from GAP. Not sure if it’s authentic but it still had a tag from GAP on there and it said the original price was $44.99, and I got it for $5.

Basic af dress that I think is still cute, nice long necklace and boots.

I know this throwover will be so great in summer as it is the thinnest material and a jacket can really make the difference to an outfit.

Right? Right! I found this shirt in the men’s section and it was $3, I’m as shocked as you.

Have a great day! Xx 

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
