ADDICTED to kmart shopping

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!

Kmart makeup Fifth avenue Christmas sets

Hi lovelies! today I have some exciting purchases that I have made! I love kmart shopping, and I feel that I have said that before, in a blog post here, oops. but I do! I go into Kmart a few times a week, so I'm obsessed, but let me show you my purchases, this will be another show and tell type of blog post so I hope you enjoy!


Fifth avenue had brought these sets out for Christmas and they were rather expensive I thought, but still decent value, but I held off, the one with the brushes was originally $20 but they had it on clearance at $10, the lipstick set was $6, and the mascara eye shadow set was $7, so obviously they were marked 50% off.

Is it just me or does the gold round packaging make you think of Milani? also the quality is just as good as Milani cosmetics so for the bargain prices I paid, I think we have an aussie competitor for Milani now! The blush is called Berry Parfait, and the highlight is called Goddess, I wanted the Peach parfait one but they had run out, I'll try and get that on the weekend.

How pretty is the highlight though? I always love a good gold highlight! and this one is so pretty. I was so excited for the lipstick set, and the colours are stunning! the actual lipgloss is quite pigmented which I'm surprised about, usually I hate glosses cause its just gloss, not colour. Lipgloss is called Heavenly, Lipstick is called Rose. I think the colours really present well, and compliment one another well.

That was all I opened from the sets, now also from Kmart I picked up this pastel cute cushion, it was on clearance from $5 to $3 and I purchased the last two there, I collect fox things and just had to have these!

What have you purchased lately from Kmart?

Lol bronzing powder brown sugar

Hello lovelies! today I wanted to show you a product I have been, obsessed with lately! its a bronzer, and its super affordable, from Kmart. Who doesn't love kmart shopping? I'm pretty sure I go in, twice a week!

This super affordable bronzer is by Lol(lots of love) and its the sister company to Bys cosmetics. The range costs $2, and the shade is brown sugar.

 So the packaging is nothing to go by, its boxy, and cheap, but for its price what do you expect? but the actual product itself, is pigmented and easy to blend, for me its on the cooler shade which is great for pale girls like myself.

 I love a bronzer that gives warmth and definition back to my face and that is what this bronzer does! I also use it as a crease colour for my eye shadow.

 It stays all day long, and is able to be built up without looking like a cake face! for me the undertone of it works well, I'm a very pale girl, and rarely tan much at all, so to find a bronzer that isn't too orange based is a blessing.

so over all I'm quite impressed with the lol brand! they have a range of products, and I'll ceretainly be trying out more soon, what have you tried from Lol?
