Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm + FOTD + Uggies :)

Yesterday I exchanged a Clarins moisturizer because, after using for 4 weeks (hoping it would get better), it broke me out horribly, but because the moisturizer was $78 and my regular Clarins moisturizer was only $45 I had a few extra dollars to spend. So I purchased this lip balm :) It's less sheer than what I usually go for, but I actually don't mind it. I won't be repurchasing because it's not ultra moisturizing like my regular $10 lip gloss, and it's too dark for me; However, I do reccomend this as it is a beautiful colour! Even though it isn't "solid" like most lip balms, it does dry less shiney than a gloss :) But still has a subtle sheen which is really nice! So if you're not ready for lipstick but don't like have sticky glossy lips, then this might be for you :) It's approximately $26  - I'm shocking with remembering the prices! haha

The above picture was me trying to be all arty haha I was taking it as though I was reading the back sorta thing -Here's what the packaging says about this Lip Balm:

"Fresh, Luminous lip balm in fruit-inspired colours with a sweet fruity aroma and taste. Deeply replenishes lips with soothing moisture for lasting comfort."

Love the scent, taste and colour but like I said before, it's not moisturizing enough for me - but my lips are SUPER dry

Below is my face of the day :) I'm having difficulties with my camera, buttt I was trying to show you the glow on my cheeks, but it didn't show :( ANyways I'm using Chi Chi blush in Burning Up and Revlon Bare It All in 245 Peachy Tease which gives me a really nice glow :) I'll try to get better pictures!!! Still sorting out the settings.....

Mitchdowd Boxers are the BEST! from Myers :D have had these ones since Year Nine, so about 5 years!!!

And each winter I get myself one or two pairs of Cotton On Ugg Boots :) for only $24.95!!! They;re horrible quality and get smelly and dirty and break apart in about a month or two, but like for under $25 and they're way comfy....

December Favourites

Top Row - Tea Tree Oil, Kerastase Noctogenist Treatment, Face Shop Makeup Base, Clinique Superfit Makeup
Middle Row - Vera Wang Princess, Fabulous Triple Tough Nail Vitamin Boost, Revlon Polish in Fuschia Fever
Bottom Row - Media Makeup Brush, Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner

Media Makeup Brush
I got this when I started a makeup course earlier this year (went to like 3 lessons then left for personal reasons). Its like a small contour brush, but I use it to blend my eyeshadows into each other. I dont use it to apply any e/s or anything, just blend. It feels SO soft. LIke gorgeously soft. Ive never felt a softer brush!


Fabulous Triple Touch Nail Vitamin Boost
My nails used to be short, they used to crak, peel, break, they were just DISASTOROUS. I tried a bunch of Sally Hanser products cos Ive heard good things about that brand, and things like "Diamond Strength" intruiged me to purchase them, but nothing worked! I bought this for half the price of the Sally Hanswer products, this was only $8 from a chemist, and I noticed a difference in a week!! Whenever I stop using it my nails begin to act up again, so its definitely all about maintanance. Cant give enough kudos to this product!


Kerastase Noctogenist Over Night Revitalizing Treatment
Its a teeny tiny bit pricey, okay, very pricey, and I seem to go through this like toilet paper, but it leaves my hair so soft and it smells DELICOUS and classy. Ive noticed my hair is softer and easy to manage. Will do a review if you like :)


The Face Shop Makeup Base Corrector in Green
I have redness on my cheeks and nose, but I put this all over my face cos it acts as a moisturizer and primer too! It tones down my redness without looking to green and washed out. The texture is lovely and soft, its a cream, and its a light mint green. I really love this. Ive tried different Green correctors (MAkeup Forever, and Maybelline) but they always show the green waaaay too much! I love this stuff because it blends wonderfully and leaves my skin feeling refreshed. I can have no makeup days when I use this.


Clinique Superfit Makeup in 16 Bare (N)(VF)
Ive gone on and on about this stuff, and whenever I switch foundations then come back to this I realise how much I love it. Just everything about it is lovely. Ive done a review on this already, its in my top 3 foundations list aswell. Definitely give this a go if you have combo skin!


Would you like me to review any of these products?
Just ask!

FOTD: 1/12 Sportsgirl Animal Instinct Palette

On Sunday I bought the Animal Instinct Cosmetic Palette from Sportsgirl, and I havent yet tried it, SO I thought Id do a Face Of The Day using the products from the palette!!

Here's the palette itself:

The 2 colours on the left are the lipglosses, the 2 colours in the middle is the blush, and the 2 colours on the right are the eyeshadows.

Also on my face I used the products below to create a subtle base.

L2R: The Face Shop Make Up Base, ModelCo Face Base Skin Primer, Revlon Skin Lights, Vani-T Krush Minerals Liquid Foundation.

Face Shop Make Up Base in 01 Green

Ive tried other green correctors such as MUFE Corrective Makeup Base and Maybelline Redness Corrective Concealor, but this one is so easy to use compared to those 2!!! The texture is really smooth and it leaves your face looking remarkably less flushed, and has a velvet matte finish! Love it!!

9/10

ModelCo Face Base Skin Primer

This is about $10 from ModelCo counters in DJ's, I used this every. single. day. last year, but then got turned off because I bought a bad one which left my skin with white fur balls all over it? It was weird? Anyways I couldnt return it because I chucked out the receipt like WTF? ANyways learnt my lesson, keep receipts. ANyways, Onto the product itself, its wonderful. It says its a hydrating face primer and can be used instead of moisturizer, but I tend to slap on my moisturizer and then this ontop and it makes my makeup last significantly longer and doesnt make my face feel tight like other primers!!

9/10

Revlon Skinlights Instant Skin Brightner in 01 Natural Light

I guess this is like an Illuminizer? Ive had this one tube for about 1 year now and its still as good as ever, however its one of those products that arent great, but arent bad, so I use it for a week straight then forget about it. But its gorgeous, I definitely reccomend it! Its not GLITTERY its more shimmery and toned down, so you can use it by itself or mix it in with foundation, or put it where you'd like to highlight i.e. cheeks, eyebrow bone, etc.

8/10

Vani-T Krush Minerals Liquid Foundation

Ugh. Just horrible. It looks so tacky and the skin and its hard to blend compared to other foundations I use. I do not like this at all. The colour was matched incorrectly and the lady who served me was just a plain old BITCH. Its too expensive, doesnt last long, shitest mineral makeup Ive ever used ay. Ill give it a point for being a mineral makeup, and the cute packaging, but apart from that NUP.
1/10

Stupid in Love is the best but saddest song.

Yesterday I went shopping in town and bought a few things.

1. Body Butter $5
2. Inglot Pressed Powder $30
3. Australis Lipgloss $12
4. Revlon Mini Nail Polish $6
5. False Lashes $12 (on sale at Priceline)
6. 3 for $20 Undies from Cotton On Body
7. Funny Lipgloss from Inglot $5 each
8. Ipod Classic in Silver $324
9. Dior Lipgloss in Clutch Pink $48
10. St Ives Anti Blemish Scrub $4
11. Grey Shorts from Cotton On Body

I only purchased the travel sized St Ives scrub because Im always sucked into beauty products that everyone raves about, but they end up doing nothing for my skin!!! So Im going to try this out for a week before I purchase the full size!!

Eeep. Forgot which colour I purchased but I am so mad! Arrgh.

So I went into Inglot the Rundle Mall store, and asked if I could have some help choosing a Pressed Pwoder in the right colour.

She held one up to my skin tone and was like "Yeah this is it."

And Im like cool.

Then she went back to the stand and was like "Uhh, actually, Do you want to go a bit darker?"

And Im like "How much darker?"

And she just tried the foundation on my neck and was like "Yup! This is perfect! Matches your neckline"

And Im liek okay whatever, Like shes the professional, right?

I purchased it. $30. No biggy. $15 cheaper than my MAC powder,

Went out that night and my sister was like "Wow you have like a black face"

Ughhh. So I looked in the mirror and I had like some bad fake tan thing going on!!!!!!!

So I needyour opinions, please girls!!!!

Do I have any right to return the powder? Seeing as she sold me the wrong colour? Or is it my fault for trusting a professional and taking her advice, and then it back firing on me?

Should I just leave the powder alone, and take it as lesson learnt????

And here's just an outfit of the daaaay. Lovely lovely.

Im wearing the Revlon nailpolish in this piccy :) Its gorgeous ay!

Haul: 16/9

Hello Lovelies!

Ive been a tad busy the past few days so thought I may aswell update my blog with some of the items I have purchased recently! :) Hope everyone is doing okay!

1. Palmers Natural Bronzer - great stuff! Buildable, and very natural looking for pale people like moi!
2. Biore Nose Strips - Love/hate relationship with these! They do unclog some pores, but not all. If I over use my nose gets dry! Ill always use these those, I think its a pyschological thing seeing the pore gunk on the white strip afterwards.
3. Simple Light Moisturizer - For under $10 this moisturizer is amazing! I love it, I always use it if I cant afford expensive brands. You all should definitely try this!
4. Lush Fresh Farmacy - Have only started using this, its definitely different to apply! Im used to cetaphil or exfoliates, so its weird making a lather.
5. Lush Bath bomb $7.50
6. Face of Australia lip gloss $4.95
7. Revlon Palette below

These are the most gorgeous spring colours! Very light and airy fairy :) I played around with the colours a little bit! Just for fun :)

then today I popped into Priceline and bought a few more things! Not that I really needed any of them!

1. Eco Tools Makeup Powder Spongers
2. Henna Earth & Body Hair Treatment - Under $6! Cant wait to try this out, Will give a review on it :)
3. Dusk Vanilla Oil - Smells so yummy! My room always smells like Vanilla, Mt Annan or Plum Delight!
4. Art of Makeup Lip Palette below ---- $3!!

The colours are gorgeous! They look so delightful together in the one pot :)

FOTD: Smokey Eye

This morning I attempted a smokey eye again because Im really trying to perfect it! Practice makes perfect, right? :)

Its not overly smokey or anything, there's no eyeliner on the bottom lash line, just the top.

So its a natural version of the original smokey eye :) Hope it looks okay!

Ive been reccomended several types of brushes for blending, So hopefully Ill be able to purchase a couple to help me out :)

This is what I used on my face:

Clockwise from Top Left: MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle, Revlon Bare It All in Peachy Tease, Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation in 100 Ivory, Rimmel Anti Fatigue Concealor, Revlon Sugar Dust in Sprinkled Pink, Bourjois eyeshadow in o8 Beige Rose, and the Be Yourself Palette; used the bottom left hand corner colours (They're black and greys, but looks blue and green in the pic!)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day :) x

Haul 27/8 and Regrowth :o

Cotton on Underwear, Revlon Glitter, Bourjois eyeshadow, Revlon Bedroom eyes in Black, Models Prefer Palette. (Also, the black background is a Supre Low-back Dress and Forever New Bandage Dress) + Famous Mag, and NW Mag!

Clearly my Regrowth is hot as! Lol. How shamefull of me walking around with regrowth this bad! But Iam determined to grow my hair out! Im so self conscious when people look at my hair though - But hopefully Ill pull through! I just keep thinking about nice,shiney, healthy hair when it's all grown out! Yay!

Has anyone attempted to grow out their hair? What was the result? Epic fail or Glorious conquer?
