Haul: 25/9 + Review

Hello hello!

Yesterday, after work, I caught up with my friend and did a little bit of shopping. Only bought a few things from Priceline though!

Here's what I purchased:

From left to right:

Face of Australia Lipgloss in Balmain

Savvy by DB Lipgloss

Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder
Australis Fresh & Flawless Foundation

Ill do some tincy tiny little reviews on each of the items incase any of you are interested.

Face of Australia Lipgloss in Balmain - $ 3.57

Its such a gorgeous colour! Its like a metallic soft purple, but its very sheer. Its very moisturizing, and its definitely become a staple in my purse! I got this on sale, the normal price is a dollar or two more.

Savvy by DB Lipgloss - $4.95

Yuhhk. Dont like this stuff! But thats just my opinion. Its not moisturizing and its dull and boring.

Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder - $11.40

I bought this in "Natural". It claims to be oil free, and fragrance free.

Australis Fresh & Flawless Foundation - $12.95

This foundation, on the surface, has many reasons why you should purchase it:

• Cheap - under $15 for 28ml!
• Oil free
• Fragrance free
• Wont clog pores
• SPF 15

However, In my experience today when I tried it on and went to work, it may not CLOG pores, but it does NOT hide them in anyway! By midday the foundation was half gone! and my pores were so huge and noticable *Cringe*

Also, on my pessimistic role, the application was dreadul. I had to practically drag it across my face, and it left a streaky effect all across my cheeks and nose. I tried to blend with my foundation brush, and this did help a bit but it still looked cakey.

Oh wells, Not much lost, only a days worth of disgusting makeup and $15. :) Im glad I tried it though!

*** I may try using it again tomorrow with my ModelCo primer, maybe this will affect the durability of the foundation, and also the way it sits on the skin.

Also, here's just a pic of me trying out a purple look.

Without eyeliner.

and With.

I used my favourite palette - the 48 coloured "Be Yourself" palette.

Hope everyone is out and about on a friday evening! Have fun!

Mini Haul

Yesterday I went job hunting (with not much success, silly recession!) and I bought a few goodies :) So I bought (Clockwise from left)

Cotton on Singlet
I love this! I actually bought it in a large so that I could wear it with a dress, and accessorize with either cute leggings or a nude cardi and vintage jewellery. My fav part is the peachy lace detail.

SHOP magazine
Im totally addicted to magazines! Whether it's fashion, gossip, or beauty; I practically buy every issue of every magazine out there :) My fav mag is the Cosmo Hair and Beauty specials (I think they have a new issue once every 1 or 2 months).

Schwarzkopf Silhouette Hairspray
Honestly, I just bought this because its bright pink! Turns out it's pretty good hair spray too :)

'Little i' Peppermints
As above, I bought this for the cute packaging!! It even has a little mirror on the inside when you slide the lid open! Now thats innovative thinking :)

Savvy by DB
This duo eyeshadow was under $5! Bargain! Im actually starting to warm to Savvy. I do think they should spice up their packaging a bit, I mean their current dark purple/brown isn't too lovely.. Saying that though, these shadows blend nicely.

Australis Season Jewels Palette
I love Australis! They've done nothing wrong in my eyes. This palette has 8 'in season' eyeshadows and 4 lipglosses; There's a really cute light pink lipstick/gloss that I adore! And it was under $10!
