Today I wanted to post a few things. First off, I wanted to post about some items I have purchased in the last week. I am really excited to test these items out! Some of these items are a bit out of my comfort zone, but I think its nice to try something different out once in a while!
So after taking this photo I realised I completely forgot to include my
Benefit Speed Brow!
As you probably can tell, I went a little overboard with the Maybelline lipsticks. I dropped into Priceline to purchase some of the Maybelline lipsticks, as I have seen and heard great reviews on their Vivid colour range. As a result i've ended up purchasing more than expected... Priceline is currently selling them as buy 1 get one 1 free so it was too hard to resist! The cost is great and for about 4 of these lipsticks, it would be equivalent to 1 MAC lipstick right now (MAC lipstick goes for about $36 in Australia). So for the price, I am willing to try out alternative colours I may not normally use.
Below are the colours I purchased (and yes there is 8 lipstick above in the haul picture, but I hadn't realised one was a duplicate!) My impressions on some of these lipstick colours aren't as scary as I would consider after first glance (especially the orange!) I can't wait to try them all out!
The other items I purchased at Priceline included Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. I love these nail polish strips! Please see my next post about my thoughts on this particular product! I purchased 3 different designs for half the price! So I purchased them to use when I have a really bad nail day.
Left to Right: 680 - Tutu Much, 410 - Love Letter & 480 - I Love Lacey.
The final item I purchased was a box of Schwarzkopf Brilliance Luminance in L43 - Smouldering Red. Right now, my current hair colour is a red balayage (ombre) that starts as a dark brown red and ends in a bright cherry red. Currently I have been using Fudge Red Corvet, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'll fill you in with another review soon about this item. So I've decided that I needed to even out my colour and I am hoping this will do it. I love the Schwarzkopf range and haven't had too many problems with the brand in the past...
Now onto the less affordable items...
At the start of the week I purchased 2 nail polishes from the new Chanel L’ÉTÉ PAPILLON collection. I LOVE these colours. The picture really doesn't do these nail polishes justice! The colour is a little sheer but are smooth to apply and doesn't lift the previous layer of polish. The aqua green 'Azure' is a two toned metallic with a blue colour in different lights. This polish reminds me of the ocean. The blue 'Bel Argus' reminds me of the wings on a Ulysses butterfly when the polish reflects in the sunlight. This is a must in your nail polish collection! I have had so many complements about these two colours! (on a side note - these polishes are about $39 a bottle!)
Anyway, apart from being blinded by these polishes and their beauty... I purchased the Benefit Speed Brow. This item was previously recommended by a friend. I have also heard great reviews about this item! The Speed Brow is a mascara that helps to fix eyebrow hair into place. I love it and it is now a holy grail item of mine.
So for now I am really happy about all the items purchased this week. More information will be posted soon!
Until next time,
