Urban decay palette naked 3 dupe Maybelline blushed nudes palette

Hello! today I'm sharing my thoughts on the Maybelline blushed nudes palette that I purchased for $18.99 at Coles supermarkets last week whilst it was on sale, I did this in my grocery shopping cause I feel like I'm getting myself something for free (meaning its not coming out of my allowance but it kinda is haha) do any of you do this too? 

 The packaging is such a pretty rose gold colour, Rose gold seems to be right on trend at the moment, and the shades in the palette are amazing. I didn't swatch all mainly the really light shades take a bit of work  but the dark ones are amazing, the mauve colour that's nearest the black is my favourite out of the lot.

 Supposedly a dupe for the Urban decay naked 3 palette, I don't know for sure as I don't own the palette but seeing swatches online and reviews, it's a pretty close call! These kind of palettes are literally coming out of the woodworks everywhere! So the eye shadow comes housed within a typical plastic packaging, contains two sponge eye shadow applicators. Overall I think they did a good job on the actual packaging itself.

 The colours in this palette are stunning, not too powdery or chalky which is a bonus considering the price of it in Australia. Overall the shades are what got me to buy this palette, I love the tones, the satins, mattes and shimmers.

have you tried these yet? what are your thoughts on this palette? is it a dupe? what are your thoughts on its price in Australia?

July make up favourites! Monthly make up faves Primer, contour, highlight and bbcream

Hi loves! hope you are all well, today I am bringing to you a post full of my July make up favourites that I've been reaching for, again and again this month!

I love this bbcream! the colour and coverage is fantastic for days that you don't want to over do the make up. $9 from Kmart and Priceline when on sale.

This will give you a healthy and light coverage that will make your make up stay all day, hide pores, and contour the shiz out of your non contourable areas. Does that make sense? Well I'm talking about Palmers Cocoa butter eventone bb cream in Extra light. Bys contour kit, Maybelline bare skin pore reaser and Elf whipped highlighter.

I'm so happy Maybelline has released this in Australia! its a fab primer, and one that actually does reduce the size and appearance of my pores! Great price too, and even better when on sale. I purchased this for $6 on ebay ages ago.

This contour kit I keep reaching for because I've finally found a shade that is great for my fair skin! also a great bargain under $10 at Kmart. 

 Last but not least is the shimmering facial whip by elf! I love this stuff, gives a nice healthy glow in all the right places. $3 from Kmart.

So these are my July favourites, what are yours? any good drugstore products I need to know about? comment below!

shop my stash my three top favorite make up products I keep going back too concealer primer and mascara

Hello lovely people! Today I'm showing off my three fave products and am telling you why they are my three fave products.

The first one is the Maybelline Big eye waterproof mascara in black, I love this mascara purely because its versatility in being able to actually get into the lower lash line. I got mine for $10 when it first came out. I use this product so so much, the eye lashes aren't crispy but are black and adds length and volume, fans out in such a pretty way too, so I love this mascara. 

Next is the Essence cover stick and I love this cover stick by essence because its a really natural looking cover stick and the price is amazing! its under $5 and it lasts all day long without looking cakey and on my skin type which is combination dry/oily that is amazing. I really love the packaging too as its sturdy, and safe, its easy to travel with, and pack in a make up case, and the concealer blends out lovely as well on the skin and into other products as well. For such a cheapie product this one is hard to pass up, this one has been a re purchase and I'll keep re purchasing this one over more expensive brands any time.

 If you couldn't tell by now I do somewhat have a problem with make up! I keep buying make up however I am trying to "shop my stash" and this is why I am showing you these products in this segment today.

This is the best primer I have ever used, It cost me $10 and I really love it, I've used a few primers in my time and this one really helps my foundation last, especially on my oily tzone without me having to cake on the powder which I loath doing. I prefer I more even, naturalish look if possible. This primer is lovely, contains argan oil, and blends perfectly. Doesn't break me out and isn't heavy at all. For a bargain budget primer this one is fab.




What are your shop my stash products that you go back to?
