Haul: Myer, David Jones and Priceline

Over the last 3 months I've accumulated quite a few things, there have been a few things I needed to pick up plus a few sales. So let's get into it...

Kit Cosmetics in Myer

 1. Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser - $22.95 AUD

2. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion - $26.95 AUD

 3. Mario Badescu Buffering Lotion - $26.95 AUD

 They also gave me a sample of the Mario Badescu Whitening Mask

Myer

 4. Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Set - $46.80  ($52 RRP)
I got this when they had 10% off but even at $52 it's still a good deal. You get a full size doll eyes mascara, mini kohl eyeliner, mini gloss in love lipgloss in peach show and a mini nude nail polish. 

 They also gave me 2 samples Teint Miracle and Teint Idole Ultra 24H

5. MAC Brush cleaner - $18 ($20 RRP)

 David Jones

 6. The Balm InStain Blush in Swiss Dot - $20.21 ($26.95 RRP)
They were having 25% off.

 Also a few months ago I was looking for a cream or serum to lighten my hyperpigmentation so I went to the Kiehl's counter in DJ and asked what they would recommend. I asked them to write it down for me which they did but the lady at the counter also gave me a sachet sample of her recommendation which was the Highly Efficient Skin-Tone Corrector. I thought it was really nice of her to give me a sample without buying anything. And I just wanted to share that lovely experience. 

 Priceline

 7. Essie nail polish in Smokin' Hot and Fiji - 2 for $20 ($16.95 each RRP)

 8. Models Prefer Infinite Colour Lip Colour in Clearly Sealed - $4.80 ($7.99 RRP)
I got this to put under my red lipstick to stop it from bleeding. I don't like lip liners so a clear lip liner was the way to go for me.
Have you done any shopping lately?
I also wanted to say thank you to my new followers. I started this blog hoping to share my experiences and what not. I never imagined people would actually follow me (although I hoped) and I'm so grateful that people enjoy my blog. So thank you.

Review: UBU Shady Lady Eyeshadow Brush (No. 30)

Claim: "All eyes on you baby. Love your lids with this short synthetic bristle brush perfectly molded to your eye shape."

If you want a brush to apply eyeshadow all over the lid then this is NOT the brush for that. 

There are a few reasons why it's a bad all over the eye lid brush. 
1) Bristles are not flexible 
2) Bristles are too firm 
3) Bristles from the base are fairly thick but as it tapers to the top it becomes too thin therefore not enough eyeshadow can get onto the brush to actually be applied smoothly all over the lid. 

However, this brush is really good for applying eyeshadow on the lower lash line. So if your looking to set your eyeliner with eyeshadow this is a handy tool. It is the right amount of thickness and firmness to apply eyeshadow on the lash line. 

Cons:
- Doesn't do what it claims

Pros:
- Great for lower lash line
- Cheap 
- PURPLE

Rating: 2.5 

Where and how much: K-mart - $6.00

Review: Essence Quick Dry Top Coat

Image: Essence Quick Dry Top Coat

Claims: "Extremely fast drying top coat. Protects your nail polish against chipping"

How long would you expect a "quick dry" top coat to dry, 60 seconds maybe 2 minutes? Well don't expect too much from this top coat. Every time I've used this top coat I've had problems with my nail polish smudging or sheet lines when I wake up. 

The top coat does dry fairly quickly however the nail polish remains soft and smudges if your not careful. I tried it a few times but the last time I tried it I left it for an hour and a half to fully set and without doing anything that would ruin the polish before going to sleep but when I woke up my nail polish had sheet marks. All I can say is disappointing. 

Yes it is a cheap product but from essence I expected a lot better. I've used a few essence products but this was the WORST. 

In terms of protection from chipping I don't believe it makes much of a different. My test for this was rimm…

Review: Optiva Aqua-Capture Serum and Nourishing Night Cream

So firstly my skin type is dry/normal. I'm prone to hormonal breakouts. Every time I get a pimple it scars whether or not I've popped it (gross I know). So my main issue are my scars. But like I mentioned I do have somewhat dry skin and I really do feel like these have helped with my dry patches and preventing my skin from flaking. 



1. Optiva Aqua-Capture Serum 
30ml $24

"This super concentrated skin hydrating serum has a light formulation, which is easy to apply and works deep into the skin. The serum strengthens the skin barrier in just two weeks improving its tolerance for the long term. Specially formulated to offer an immediate comforting and calming effect. Apply after cleansing and before moisturising both morning and night. Clinically proven to reveal healthier skin in just two weeks."

Overall I think this is a really nice serum, but honestly I'm not really a serum girl and this product hasn't converted me. I feel like it's an unnecessary step. But if…
