Haul: ColourPop, MAC, OzSale.

I haven't bought much makeup since my last Melbourne trip. Mostly because I don't feel like I need anything. But, I've been having a hard month and a bit, so I treated myself to a few things.

Also I couldn't really say no to ColourPop's Free International Shipping deal. I didn't quite spend $50USD so I bought with LipNGloss and she just paid me for hers. I don't buy from ColourPop very often, as I can't justify to spend $25 USD on just shipping, its a bit pathetic if you ask me.

LETS GET INTO THE HAUL


First ColourPop item I got is a Lippie Stix in the Matte X Formula, in the shade Cami. I haven't worn it yet, but the colour is gorgeous. Formula wise in comparison to the regular Matte formula, the regular is more of a cream finish, whereas the Matte X seems to be maybe a bit more drying, and very similar to the MAC Matte finish. Again I haven't worn it but thats what I can tell by swatching it.


 On OzSale I bought 2 Maybelline Colour Tattoo's. In the shades Lavish Lavender and Pomegranate Punk which are both not sold in Australian Stores. I honestly think I like Lavish Lavender over Pomegranate Punk, I dont know why, I just do. These both cost $6 each


 I bought 1 Ultra Satin Lip, and I love this one. Its the only Lip Product I got from ColourPop that I've worn so far. This is in the shade Frick N Frack and it does look a lot darker in photo than it does in person. We've had horrible weather here in Hobart, and what else do you do on a miserable rainy day? Blog!


 I only bought one Super Shock Shadow from ColourPop. This is I Heart This which is a metallic finish. I again haven't worn this yet, as I'm project panning some other shadows. But I do love this one!


 From MAC's Its A Strike! Collection I bought Pearlmatte Face Powder, which the Lady said its pretty much a highlighter. And its gorgeous. I've used it, and it is a very subtle pink highlight. I think its perfect for summer. This is in the shade Trophy.


 Finally - I bought Loreal's Infallible 24hr Matte Foundation. About time right! I will be filming a first impressions tomorrow and posting a review on my blog next week.


Finally, I got 2 Ultra Matte Lips. In the shade Saigon (Red) and Bumble (Mauve/Brick Shade). Saigon is in collab with Karruche (I hope I spelled that right! I don't watch her!) and it is a GORGEOUS true red. Which is exactly what I was after.

Fall Collab (FallAboutTheMermaids)

Today, I did a collab with MakeupMermaid23 (On Instagram) and a bunch of other fellow beauty enthusiasts.

Seeing as we were from all around the world, we decided to do our interpretation of an everyday fall makeup look. Heres mine.


Here are the steps I used. If I can remember exactly what I did as I did it a few days ago and forgot to write it down. But I do have a GRWM coming to my YouTube soon.

Primer: Nude by Nature Smoothing Primer (I think thats the name?)

Foundation: Maybelline Super Stay 24hr in Classic Ivory (Again, I'm not positive on shade D:)

Concealer: For redness peaking through my foundation/pimples I use Maybelline Fit Me in Fair, and for under eyes I use the Urban Decay Naked in Fair Neutral.

Powder: Under the eyes, Banana Powder by Australis (Stickered as its in Project Pan.) and for the rest of the face Maybelline Shine Free Loose Powder in Light.

Bronzer: My current favourite, Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer.

Blush: Benefit's Hervana, which is in Project Pan but not stickered.

Highlight: MAC Lightscapade

Eye Primer:  MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot

Eyes: I probably started using Salted Caramel from the Chocolate bar from Too Faced, then I think I used Milk Chocolate. Then I went in with the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Barely Branded and went over the top with Marzipan and deepened the outter V with Triple Fudge. On the lower lash line I used a little bit of candied violet.

Waterline: Rimmel Scandaleyes in Nude

Mascara: Roller Lash by Benefit

Lips: Lined with Bound by ColourPop with Touch of Spice Matte Lipstick from Maybelline.

My face looks extremely dark and orange in this photo and I don't know why. But it wasn't like this in person. Infact I went to MAC like this and they complimented me.
