July favourites make up and brushes

Hello al! today I thought I'd share with you soeme of my July Favourites that I have been using very often as of late.  They are the Elf professional bronzing brush, the Essence blush brush but I use it as blush, powder and foundation brush because its so dense and soft

 The Maybelline Dream Matte mousse foundation in Sandy Beige, I worried it would be too dark for me but its actually not. The Maybelline roll on Dark circles eraser and I use this as my every day concealer because it just works so damn well.

 Close up on the brushes that I lurve!

 Close up of these two!

now these two I just love, the mascara is the Maybelline big eye mascara and omg its seriously the only one in my collection that gives me the wow factor in eye lashes. It's a true pity this brand isn't cruelty free buuuuut we will see if I re purchase it or not. The Revlon swede effect lipstick in Fatale. It's a dreamy and creamy product to use and I adore the colour

These are my favourites for July what are yours?

What's on my face Friday edition Savvy by db and more

Hello lovelies on this dreary Friday Melbourne morning! before class I got myself ready as I normally do and thought I would share with you, my face of the day Friday edition! I tend to wear my make up when I am going out such as shopping with the bestie, class, and of course special occasions. My make up isn't anything wow but I believe it makes me feel more confident in myself and I feel better making an effort. Here is what I wore today.

This is what I wore, Savvy by db blush stick in glamourama, I also used it on my lips. Savvy by db concealer as my foundation as its a great thick product. Maybelline Big eyes eye liner, Maybelline Big eyes mascara, Chichi eye shadow pallet, Australis fresh and flawless foundation. So six great drugstore brands.

 I cropped the eye shadow like this because the brown shade I used and the highlight shade I used. I used the highlight shade first on my eye lid then added the brown into my crease and on my eye lid as well. This is my favourite powder too. One thing about the eye shadow is that it gets very messy in the pan and has a bit of fall out.

 I just love this blush stick! its rather like the Elf all over sticks and I used it on my lips and cheeks today for a pop of colour. I am also obsessed with this mascara at the moment. I like the white end more of the eye liner rather than the black.

You can see how good the concealer covers! its a really effortless look.
Happy Friday

Priceline make up haul! first impressions and swatches

Hi all on this super cold day for us in Australia today! how are you? I do hope you are well! today whilst working at the opshop/charity shop I went to Priceline and did a bit of hauling! lol here are the products I bought. I didn't actually go in to buy much at all but they had a stand that was all priced at $1 and I bought an Australis nail polish, two models prefer eye shadow pencils, Savvy by db stick blush. I also decided to get the Maybelline big eyes double ended eye liner (I must admit I have slipped a little on the cruelty free items but not too badly) and I bought 3 pocket rock it packs including the blush set, lip gloss crayons and the concealer and powder set.

 So these 8 items are Maybelline big eyed eye liner, Models prefer eye shadow pencils in icon and mystique, savvy by db blush stick in petite pink, lip crayons in obsession and I don't know why but the baby pink one is nameless? weird. Concealer and powder duo in light  Pocket Rock it due blush set in glamorurama.

 The savvy by db blush stick in petite pink is a superb coral colour I just adore it and am so glad I got it, its on my wrist above the green models prefer eye shadow stick swatch and I've never used models prefer before but these are so creamy! then I have the lip balm glosses by savvy db in obsession and they are surprisingly pigmented and very balmy on the lips. Then the swatches included the blue eye shadow stick and the blush duo both very pigmented.

 concealer and powder swatches, surprisingly these are great colours for me, both yellow in undertone and the liquid concealer quite thick!

have you tried any of these yet?

notd Ulta3 Hollywood!

Hello all today I am doing a nail of the day post and I am sporting the lovely Ulta3 brand in the shade Hollywood! its such a great blue colour, I think its really original from blues I have worn in the past and seen on line. It's really easy to apply, doesn't bubble and only takes two coats and it also dries super quickly! the wear time is pretty good too. Approx 3 days before chipping. I paid $2 for this nail polish and it performs better than some of my more expensive brands.

 I know blue in make up and nails are right on trend at the moment! so I couldn't wait to share this shade. I do have two other blues in my collection but not quite like this one. I don't understand how some companies name their shades though because wouldn't you have thought Hollywood would have been a red shade?

 It's vibrant but not in your face and I just adore it! I think it would look fab going out with the girls or clubbing! today however I am wearing it out to lunch.

Happy Saturday

Maybelline Satin collection lipstick Velvety wine and Delicate pink

Hi all today I have a review for you on two lipstick purchases I made awhile ago, I had these and forgot about them for awhile but I do love these. Maybelline Satin collection lipsticks in Velvety wine, and delicate pink.

Velvety wine is on the left, and deep pink is on the right and I picked up both of these for $5 each when Kmart was clearing out a heck load of make up.

These two are both so lovely to wear in a not so over powering way but still gives a little something to your face. The pink is a lovely nude with a bit of colour and the velvety wine is just lovely.

  The collection of lipsticks I believe is being discontinued which is a shame now I've stumbled across these lovely shades which are very wearable. It's the maybeline satin collection and it feels light weight, almost like you are wearing a chapstick but with a boost of color.

 they look great in their bullet and I do find the quality to be very good and quite long lasting.

They are quite pigmented and can be buildable!

which lipsticks have you been wearing?
Happy Thursday

green and gold summer inspired make up

Hi all again! lol another post cause I did my make up today and I was rather happy with the results! I used Chichi eye shadow pallet, Australis fresh and flawless liquid foundation, Australis fresh and flawless foundation powder, Elf gel eye liner, Covergirl lashperfection mascara (which I love) and Savvy by db lipstick in Modern romance with the Essence Dark romance mousse blush on top. I also used the Rimmel London eye brow pencil in Ash.

 I used green and gold on my lids, I did use the Elf eye shadow primer, I think for $3 it works really really well.

 I know its more a summer inspired eye shadow combination however we are in Winter and I think the dark lip looks good with it.

 I really love the green and gold together, works so well!

And this lipstick combination I adore as well as I'm really into berry and plum coloured lipsticks, I'm also getting into darker shade reds or plum coloured blushes too as I think they are super pretty. I also used the Essence Dark Romance mousse blush as a blush today as well.

Happy Wednesday
