Savvy by db eye shadow brushes kit review

Hi guys I hope you are well, I'm putting up my review on the eye shadow brushes I've purchased from Priceline, they are $10 and a super affordable starter kit or even great for your own personal use if you don't want to spend a heap on brushes or tools. This is the Savvy by db eye shadow brush kit.

They are super soft and feels great on the skin, comes with all the brushes you need to create some amazing eye shadow looks.

 It comes with a crease brush- blending brush, eye shadow brush, eye liner brush and smudger brush.

 They feel actually pretty good for a $10 set of brushes, I picked up recently a pack of Nude by nature brushes and they were similar in softness for synthetic brushes.

Over all I'm very happy with the pricepoint and quality of these brushes, they came in two shades, gold and pink, I chose pink.

It really does help with creating some cleaner looks, and more diffused eye shadow looks, great tools for a great value price! 

have you tried these?

Savvy by db mini make over packs from Priceline review and thoughts

So Savvy by db have brought out the little packages of goodness again and omg I am in love, they are similar to the pocket rockets of last year but this year they are called Mini make overs and they are $5 each. My first one I picked up was this packet right here purely because I was so interested in the liquid lipstick.

The shade of liquid lipstick is called Ballet and in the packaging it looked quite nude which was actually why I wanted it because its so on trend right now, and let me tell you it is pigmented! and extremely runny. So they aren't wrong in saying its a liquid but on the lips its a dream.

Nude shades don't normally suit me but because I'm now blonde, and this one has a slight peachy colour in it (and yes I do believe I applied way to much but it came out super fast so be warned) but they are so pigmented! they remind me of the ocd lip tars I believe they are called. They have other shades which I will be picking up.

I love the packaging, and I do wish they come in more shades but my local Priceline didn't seem to stock that many, I picked up this one because it was the last one of this one left. And as I said nudes are very in right now. The tube is sturdy, but I would highly recommend keeping it in a make up bag, either the one it comes with or another one because if it did get squished by something in your bag it would make a huge pigmented mess. I actually squirted out that much and its that pigmented that it stained my hand so be warned especially with the deeper shades, it washed off after two washes though.

Now onto the nail polishes, I was excited to see the little bottles as they made the deal a bit more value because some of the packages only come with two items. But these nail polishes are not very good quality even though they are very pretty. They lasted me a day before chipping.

This was straight after application, the pro's are they are very pretty shades, the lighter pink one held up much better than the darker shade. The was no streaking, and it applied opaque after one coat which at the time I thought it was too good to be true.

But after one day they chipped, and I don't think its worth it just for the nail polishes if that's what you are after, I'm getting the packs for the liquid lipsticks. And I guess for a day the nails can look pretty still. Maybe with a top coat it would last longer but I am lazy with my nails and generally just want it easy and to last on its own.

I do like the size of the bottles, I think they are quite a novelty little thing, and would be good for travelling.

over all not a bad deal for $5

what do you guys think have you seen them yet? let me know and please follow and share for more

Haul! Australian brands, Cruelty free, bath products and thrifted items

Hello lovelies! I didn't mean to leave you in the lurch for so long but with hot weather, work and not feeling very well it doesn't leave me for being in a writing mood on my little blog and I don't want it to be a whinging platform so I'm back after a few days grace. Hope you can forgive me! I know we can all have days like that.

But I wanted to show you some products I have been purchasing lately as I again have been shopping as when I am stressed, I go shopping, its my thing to do when I'm stressed and or just not feeling right in myself. I thin us women are wired in that sense lol. Not to sound sexist of course.

First up I bought some thrifted items because I felt the need haha I purchased these three books as I feel the need to read at the moment. Stephen King was a big part of my life when I was younger and I hadn't actually read these and thought it looked good! $2 each.

 I didn't actually get this, its actually at my thrift shop that I work at and its still on the wall, if its still there when I go back tomorrow should I get it?

 I got my partner to buy this on ebay because the author actualy sadly passed away I think a couple of weeks ago. And its meant to be a classic and I haven't read it, its one year younger than my age and I'm thirty years old!

So here's the make up haul, at Kmart they were clearing out face of Australia big time, which was good but mkes me sad at the same time. They had products starting from $3. I purchased multiple items. I bought the blush in nutmeg, mineral therapy foundation powder in light, lip crayon in raspberry coulis, quench lipstick in forbidden fruit, and maybelline electro pop in oh orange as I am obsessed with these lip balms for some reason! I got them from my chemist for $1.88 and I also got the bys contour kit in the shade sweet which suits me perfectly, by the way the blush is super pigmented! for under $6 you need it in your life, the contour shade suits my very fair skin amazingly. The video where I try it you can view here.

next is the designer brands products I purchased, I got these clearance sale, and I love a CLEARANCE sale. the eye shadow pallet is amazing, I paid $8.00 for it. It's the urban sultry and silky pallet I think from memory lol. And the lipgloss is the Passionate plum lavish lipgloss and it was $4. Now hold the phone! I had no idea db did bath products! and this was on clearance to $3.50 and I can't find any info on it online. But its the mint burst body scrub and its amazing.

The best thing about db is that they have recently been accredited and and are not tested on animals! woohoo

like these items? what do you like? comment below

January favourites Australis, Illegal Length mascara and more

Hi all! today I am doing a January favourites as its the last day of January for me! so I thought I'd do it whilst I still had time. Can't believe the month has flown by so fast! wow. Anyways I have a few products to show you and some I am really obsessing over right now! can you guys relate? I hope so. Let me know if you do relate in the comments! so I don't feel alone heehee.

I am a huge sucker for deals at supermarkets and where I go shopping they often do clearance deals when they want to get rid of products quickly. I picked up two products for under $10 and they were the Rimmel London Comfort serum 25 hour foundation and the Maybelline fibre lash illegal length mascara. I got both for $9.95 so a complete bargain!. The foundation shade I got was Ivory and it fits perfectly for my skin shade and the mascara was blackest black. And I tell you what, I am totally obsessing over both! I've been wearing them both non stop (except for bed time of course) 

I was worried when I saw the cap I thought it was going to be like the Maybelline ones where it was a pour out one but thank god it has a pump! so extra points Rimmel! this is a 10 out of 10 foundation for me guys, I am seriously in love.

Oh my goodness I am totally obsessing over the length that this mascara gives, and I adore how it fans out my lashes. It truly looks as though I'm wearing fake lashes. I also love the packaging too, its my favourite colour (magenta) so how could I not love it?

This bronzer I picked up from Priceline a few weeks ago and it was only $3 and I love it! for days when I'm looking a little pastey and lack lustre its really nice, It's the Australis brush on mineral bronzer, I also have the highlighter.

I picked up this Khol Australis long wearing eye liner from Kmart for only $1 in the clearance bin, I've been using it off and on and I gotta say I really do like it! it does its job and it comes off without irritating my eyes.

I was super excited when Savvy by db brought the Ultra matte collections out, I think this is the Marilyn Munroe colour. I love it, When I'm not wearing hot pinks I'm wearing deep reds like these. It's a really good formula if a touch drying but a bit of lip balm helps that.

Ah the trend of hot pink lip colours continue, I'm obsessed with cool toned hot pinks, and this one I was so surprised at how pigmented it was! it really packs a punch, the shade is called read my lips and I got it from Priceline ages ago and I don't remember the brand name as its just a cheapie.

However there you go my January favourites, what are you all obsessing over? what are you favourites I'd love to know, for more please comment and follow

drugstore and cheap lipsticks that are worth keeping in your make up bag!

Hi lovelies, I have three lipsticks that I have been loving to wear as of late and these are all darker shades either plums or berry shades as I am rather obsessed with these sorts of shades! I do have a ton of these I must admit! 




First up is this Revlon lip butter which is my only one in my collection of Revlon lip butters as my friend Angie gave me one. I love it. The colour is amazing, and its lasting power is fantastic. I really like wearing this sheered out on an every day basis and then a more opaque tone for a more sexy va va voom look! so its rather a versatile lipstick, so I rather like it.

Next is Savvy by db, its their lipstick in the shade Rose I believe and I am only thinking its this shade because the sticker on the bottom has actually rubbed off. These lipsticks retail for $6.99 but I got mine for free because I had a gift voucher from points that I had earned.

This last one is a newbie and a cheapie one but I am thrilled with the colour! I got it from a dollar store just because it was half price in a sale., It was cheap anyways at $3. And I loved the colour, it didn't have a name, just a number. However its by Blush Amour, which is a half decent cheapo brand if that makes sense.

This shade is the blush amour lipgloss, isn't it a lovely deep purple shade? 

This is the Savvy by db shade andI just love it. 

and this shade is the Revlon lip butter in Red Velvet 

These are the swatches, from the Blush amour, we have red velvet, and then savvy db.



hope you enjoyed!
