News: 30% off NYX Cosmetics at Target (Finished)

In case you don't follow NYX Cosmetics Australia on Facebook they posted that they were having 30% off so if you're interested head in before it all sells out.

Sorry for all the short blog posts but I'm so stressed with uni assignments and... I'm planning a last minute trip to wait for it...EUROPE. I'm so excited but I've only just booked tickets which means I have a lot of planning to do. Plus I'm still at uni and have a tonne of assignments to get through. So once again I apologise.

Anyway...I really want to pick up a couple things but I'll have to hold off because I need to save for the trip :( but I may pick up one teeny tiny thing). Sales on NYX products in target doesn't come around often.

Let me know if you pick up anything from the sale?

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: 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
