Haul: February & March 2013

This is a haul from mid February till now. I've done a bit of damage but not too bad. My birthday was in March so I wanted to spoil myself a bit. Don't judge. Hehe.

1. M.A.C Lustre Lipstick in Freckletone - $36 AUD

From the year of the snake collection. I wanted to get the limited edition embossing. It's so pretty.

2. M.A.C Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Springsheen - $42 AUD

3. M.A.C Mineralise Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle - $47 AUD
Which is so raved about.

A pharmacist near my uni was having 50% of Rimmel so I thought I'd pick up a few things.

4. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Pink Blush - $5 AUD
Light blue based pink

5. Rimmel Vinyl Gloss in Fashion Icon - $6.25 AUD

6. Rimmel Vinyl Max Lipgloss in Outrageous - $7.50 AUD

7. Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy - $49.99 AUD
This is currently on sale at My Chemist, Chemist Warehouse and The Beauty Spot. I've been lusting after this for AGES and it finally came on sale so I got it. Sale ends 18th of April.

8. Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Polished in Coral Silk and Midnight Magic - $5.21 AUD
These have finally come to Australia. They are originally $6.95 (not bad) but Target has 25% off most of their cosmetics.

9. Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum - $5.48
PF is 50% off at Priceline. I wanted to try something from PF but this is all that interested me. I actually thought it was going to be $10 (that's what it had marked) but when they scanned it, it came up as $5 if I'd known I would've picked up another. I might try it out and if I like it I might go grab another.

Haul: Gerard Cosmetics

In early March I came across a promotion for Gerard Cosmetics which included 2 lip glosses for $20 since I've been wanting to try these products for a while I decided to give their products a try. While I was on the site I checked out the sale section and there was a lipstick and lip gloss combo which was also $20. So I thought perfect... 4 lip products for $40 plus free shipping. In Australian dollars it cost approximately $54. The colours I bought were; 1. Lipstick in Nude 2. Lip glosses in Nude (light pink nude), Deduction (dark and vampy) and Salmon (peachy orange) My order came in less then 2 weeks, which was amazing. I couldn't believe how quick it came. However when I received my order I noticed something odd about the lip gloss in Seduction. It looked almost as if the tube was half empty. So I sent an email about my concerns and they responded to me within a day. And this was their response. "Hi love, We are so sorry this has happened :( Ple...

Review: wotnot Natural Organic Facial Wipes

For a long time you could only buy the wotnot facial wipes online. But you can now find them in Priceline for $7.99 or with the travel case (like shown above) for $9.99. While it is very pricey for make-up wipes, personally I think it is so worth it. If in doubt wait for the 40% off skincare sale. Some important things to note, these wipes are: "Certified organic pink grapefruit and petitgrain Certified organic papaya (pawapaw) Certified organic rosehip 100% natural and biodegradable fibre Free from alcohol and artificial perfumes Free from parabens and petrochemicals Ideal for sensitive skin" The wipes are large, moist and very refreshing. They have an earthy type smell which is not off putting...I swear. So don't be afraid if you're sensitive to smells. Not only are these wipes made up of amazing ingredients but they do the job and do it well. I wear light to medium make-up on my face and more medium-heavy eye make-up. And I find that the...

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 un...
