-Hides- ANOTHER HAUL!

I know. I'm on a spending ban. But these things I needed because I thought they'd be good for travelling because they won't break and they aren't that heavy. So heres what I bought!

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer $15.95

Normally I would not spend that kind of money on something so small. But I just had to get my hands on this as I had heard it was pretty good. And its worth the money and the hype. Review coming on this in the next post!

Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation - $16.95

This is what I mainly wanted on my whole trip. I think the size is perfect for travelling. I also have a review on this coming next week - either Friday or Wednesday. Most likely Friday as I have a feeling my Bellabox will be here Tuesday. Also I was going to buy this at Target, but my local Target had nothing in the makeup section. Maybelline, Nyx, Revlon and Covergirl had hardly anything so I left. But bought these 2 next babies

Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow Lip Pencils - $4.86 (Originally $6.95)

These were the only things I found at Target. Though I kinda wish I bought them at Priceline cause they are like $2.50 or something there. But oh well. I have the whole collection now and if anymore come out, you for sure know I'll be buying them.

So thats my final haul until August. I'll be shopping like mad in Melbourne!

Review: Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation

So. I was in need of a new foundation. But I wasn't quite sure what to use. I had heard several people on youtube recommend this foundation so I thought I'd give it a go. I hadn't used much by Covergirl before, only their mascaras. And I had used their old formula eyeshadows and didn't particularly like them so I was a bit hesitant about trying their foundation. But from what I saw instore, I liked it. Here's my full review:

As a lover and previous religious user of the Revlon Colorstay Foundation. I found the formula and application of this foundation very similar.

Its a medium coverage foundation which I really like as I like some of my flaws to peek out so it looks like I just am wearing foundation to enhance my skin which is what I like to use.

Its a very flawless foundation and I found it hid my gross pores quite easily.

What I liked most about this foundation is that its a concealer, primer and obviously a foundation all in one. I haven't found the need to use a primer with it yet. I've only used one if my skin just needed a wake-me-up in the morning.

The foundation just seems to glide on and blend out very nicely.

I have oily skin and I find it doesn't crease, cake or wear off during the day. It stays fabulous.

I'm in the shade 825 Buff Beige and I was in the shade Buff for Revlon Colourstay.

It has SPF 20 in it so its good around the sun.

I would definatley buy this foundation again.

June Favourites 2015

Phew, June's done with. Time to move onto July, then August, which is my Birthday month! Eeek so excited for it!

Anyway before I get too carried away lets talk about my favourites of this month.

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous I just started using this foundation and I love it. Its amazing. I have a review coming up soon for it so keep an eye out

Beauty Rush; Punchadelic by Victoria's Secret I've been using this as an all over body spray in June and it has quite a nice sweet scent to it.

Chapstick's Again I've been loving them. I use them constantly. This one is my favourite in Cake Batter.

Lady Gaga Fame This is my favourite 'Winter' scent as to me its kinda warm

Nyx Hot Black and Whipped Cream I've been obsessed with these 2 colours. Because of their amazing pigmentation and the quality.

Essence All About Matte Powder This has been my most reached for powder this month. I have a review coming on this soon too so keep your eyes peeled.

ColourPop Shadows in Selfie and Rebel Its a sad time when you have hit pan on your favourite shadows and thats the case with these two. I have used them so much this month, mainly Selfie.

Haul - Maybelline, Essie and Covergirl

Wow its been a while since I've posted a haul on my blog. So I thought I'd may as well post this one, and another one will be coming on Friday as I want to put that one out of the way too.

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation in Buff (?) 

Its in Buff something. Just can't think of the name off the top of my head. I'm quite excited to use this foundation. One of my favourite YouTuber's (Lindsay Hughes) swears by this foundation and I've read a few reviews saying bloggers swear by it too. Review should be coming in the next month.

  Target: $19.95

Maybelline Master Smokey by Eye Studio

I got this as a freebie from Priceline after spending $25 on Maybelline. Its a gift from Maybelline as it is their 100th anniversary. I didn't get to choose what I got. But this is what was in my 'Lucky Dip'. And I'm not too excited about it, as its something I wouldn't buy myself. But I may use it, haven't quite decided on if I want to use it yet.

Priceline/Maybelline: Free

Maybelline Color Drama Velvet Lip Pencil in Minimalist

In store, this looked like such a nice colour. Unfortunately, when I got home and swatched it, I didn't quite love it so much. Its really frosty and I don't like frost finishes. So this was a bummer purchase by me.

Priceline: 30% off Original Price

Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes

This is hands down my favourite mascara by Maybelline. It grabs every lash and gives a really nice look to the lashes. This is like my fourth repurchase of the mascara and I will continue to buy it.

Priceline: 30% off Original Price

Maybelline Shine Free Loose Powder

I'm starting to run low on my loose powder and as I'm never repurchasing that one again due to personal reasons with the shop owner, I decided I might try a new one. This powder, I already tried on my face and it is such a fine powder, fine-r than the one I'm using now. It doesn't leave your face feeling cakey, and it feels like you don't have powder on because it is so soft.

Target: $11.49 On Sale - Originally $16.95

Maybelline Dream Smooth Primer Base

I tested this in store and almost bought it a while ago but held myself back. This primer is amazing. I'm going to do a review on it so I'm not going to go into full detail but just say you need to test this for yourself.

Priceline: 30% off Original Price

Essie Nail Lacquer in Eternal Optomist

I got a coupon for Essie where I could get $5 off them and I had to use it the day I got it, so I went in store and this was the first shade I saw and had to get it. Its the perfect nude for me. I'd say its Kylie Jenner's Lip Colour in a Nail Polish format. Its just great. Also excuse my chipped nails in the picture.

Priceline: $16.95 + $5 Off Coupon

#1 Empties 2015

New year, more shit to throw out. I've been collecting these items since January and decided its about time to chuck them in the bin. Lets see what I have...

Loreal Base Magique Primer: I quite liked this primer, as it was creamy. But I wouldn't pay full price for this.

Avene Blemish Lotion: It actually has a long name, I just forgot it and its already in the bin so I'm not getting it back out. But I didn't like this. I feel like it cause more acne than reduce it. I don't know. Maybe I was due for my monthlys (I'm on the pill so I don't get it) and thats what caused it but I really dont know.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream: Already bought a backup of this as I use it daily and love it.

Savvy Eyeliner: I hated this. The applicator was pointy and made the application streaky.

Essence Big Lashes: My favourite Essence mascara, will buy another for sure.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner: I did like this, It just dried up because I didn't use it for a long time....I will buy another one.

Seche Vite: Dried up within 2 months :( Will not buy again.

Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara: I really liked this mascara, I will buy if it goes back on sale.

Face of Australia Lip Crayon in Macaron: This broke on me but I hardly use it and I can buy another one for real cheap anyway.

Rimmel Smokey Noir: I've had this for years and its just starting to lose its quality

What have you thrown out recently?

Short Review: Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara

Hey Beauties,

So recently Covergirl released their new mascara. The Flamed Out mascara. I was soo excited to hear we were getting these in Australia after hearing some of my favorite YouTuber's rave about how amazing it is.

To be honest, I didn't think Australia was actually going to get this mascara, as for most drugstore items released in the US do not get released here - but I was actually really happy to know we were getting this.

I've only actually used this mascara once, and I'm really impressed with the formula. It is in my top mascara picks and I would seriously purchase it again.

Covergirl describes the mascara as;

Make a bold statement with winged lashes that curve up and out. The unique wire brush coats your lashes for an instant volume boost.

This mascara has one of the most unique brushes I have seen. It starts thicker at one end, becomes thin in the middle and then becomes thick again.

The feeling the mascara leaves on my lashes is a very soft feeling. They don't feel heavy, or thick from the many coats of mascara, it feels like I've had hardly applied any coats to it.

I don't have any images of me wearing the mascara, but you can't tell in a before or after image due to my eyelashes being naturally thick. But keep an eye out on Melissa's blog for her review, which is coming up shortly, as she has an image of the mascara on her lashes.

Have you purchased this mascara recently? What are your thoughts on it?

Keep smiling,
