Hands up who doesn't love shopping at Kmart? *Crickets chirping* so it obviously means Kmart has upped their game, not only in clothing, homewares, but makeup! I've seen on Instagram Kmart makeup almost has their own little community happening, which is great because at least we in Australia get some affordable makeup that certain other countries don't get haha. I'm swatching today the Fifth avenue blush and highlighter that I got at Christmas.
This brand has been around for a little while now, launching when Face of Australia was taken off the shelves at Kmart. I picked these up in a Christmas gift pack that I paid $10 for, however you can buy them individually for $9 a piece which is still a great bargain for such a good quality item. The gold packaging is very similar to Milani, very chic, very pretty. But their logo FA on the top gives them away that they are not Milani. Still I do get sucked into pretty packaging and am very happy when they live up to how they look.
Fifth avenue makeup has a range of products, including eye shadows, primers, mascaras, and lipsticks etc. I am yet to try the whole range though but from what I have tried, I am very happy with!
As you can see the highlighter is a golden champagne colour, and is pigmented, creamy to blend and not glittery in your face, but somewhat like the Balm Maryloumanizer that it gives that sheen from within look. They staying power is amazing and lasts on my skin all day, without looking cakey, or accentuating my pores.The highlighter is named Goddess.
The blush, Berry Parfait is a stunning dusty rose pink, that is creamy to touch, non powdery, and easy to blend, the brush picks it up like a dream and you only need a little bit to liven up those cheeks with a healthy glow.I think for the pack price that I paid it was a bargain! even $9 a piece isn't bad, if you are wanting to try them!
Overall this makeup brand has really surprised me! I want to try their illuminating primer next, and a foundation so you will see more reviews from this brand! have you tried anything? let me know your thoughts!
