Another Nonparielboutique Haul!

Hey guys, today I'm going to be sharing a haul from Nonparielboutique, one of my favourite online makeup shops!

 

 

I got all NYX products bar one because they were 25% off at the time!

 

Left to Right Back to Front:

NYX Glitter Powder in Silver, NYX Glitter Crystal Liner in Crystal Pink, NYX Glitter Crystal Liner in Crystal Champagne, NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Toyko, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sparkle Nude, Lavender, Blackbean, NYX Lipliner in Coral, NYX Long Lip Pencil in Plush Red.

 

Left to Right, Back to Front:

Wet 'n' Wild Vanity Palette, NYX 5 Colour Eyeshadow Palette in I Dream of St. Maarteen, NYX Blush in Expresso, Spice, NYX Mosaic Blush in Rosey.

 

So that's all I got this time but I will most probably be making another order on this website sometime soon because not only does it sell brands we can't get in Australia (ELF, NYX, Wet 'n' Wild etc) it also sells them and very similar prices to the US and shipping is fairly cheap and fast!

 

Have a great day!

I got all these nailpolishes from MBeautyLounge (http://www.mbeautylounge.com/). This website is cheap as chips but the shipping literally takes forever (about 6-7 weeks). I have bought from them twice, both times they didn't send me one of my polishes and I had to chase them up about getting a refund. I still feel like this website is worth it because of how cheap it is though!

Small Makeup Haul!

 

 Hey guys! This is a small haul of the things I bought the other day during my lunch break (having a Priceline 10 metres from where I work destroys my pay check before I even receive it).

 

Left to right, back to front: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick's in Pink Blush and Heart Breaker (on sale for $7.96 each, usually $10.00 each) , Essence Lipstick in All About Cupcake ($3.95), Essence Twighlight glitter eyeliners in Alice had a Vision - Again and Jacob's Protection ($4.50), Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Hour's Lip Tint in Stay Very Berry and Australis Paparazzi Perfect Blush in Shoot to Thrill ($12.95).

Australis Paparazzi Perfect Blush in Shoot to Thrill

 

The 2 Rimmel lipstick's are freaking gorgeous. So pigmented and amazing for the price, I will definitely buy more. The Rimmel lip stain is so far incredible and I will probably do a separate review raving about how great it is. The Essence lipstick is also amazing. I already have one in the makeup purse I keep in my bag but it's running low so I decided to restock. I adore it. The 2 Essence glitter liners are pretty disappointing. They remind me of glitter glue you used to use in primary school. My NYX ones are 10 times better and are the exact same price. Overall the glitter in the Essence liners is just too sheer. And finally, the Paparazzi Perfect blush by Australis is amazing. It looks so freaking awesome in the pan, it makes me happy just looking at it! The overall swatch is pretty nice too, but the pan is just so stunning.

 

Thanks for reading!

P.S I just made another order on NonparielBoutique! NYX is having 25% on there at the moment and I couldn't resist. The coupon code in NSS25. On the website it says the code is NSS20. I tried that and it didn't work, before wondering why the code would have 20 and not 25 in it. I tried NSS25 and the code worked. Go spend!

 

Pastel NOTD!

Hey guys :) Just a quick post today because I'm going to work soon. This is a nail of the day which features a pastel base with a slanted silver french tip! I got inspiration from a video I saw ages ago where a black base and white tip was used!

 

 

The minty base is using one of my newest nail polishes that I wrote about here. It's called After Dinner Mint and it's so gorgeous! I painted 2 coats of this colour on in the morning and that night I stuck a piece of tape firmly on my nail in a slanted position and then painted one coat of Rimmel's silver nail polish called Your Majesty. I highly recommend waiting at least 1 or 2 hours after you've painted your base colour before you go ahead and stick your tape on. I have tried this before after only waiting 20-30 minutes and it was a disaster!

 

 

Hope this NOTD has inspired some of you guys to add a twist to your usual 1 colour manicure!

Review: NYX Long Lip Pencil in Pinky

Hi guys! Today I have a quick review of NYX's Long Lip Pencil in the beautiful colour, Pinky.

 

 

First off, this pencil is so long, they're about 1 and a half times longer than your average lip pencil (comparing to a Savvy by DB one). It's going to last freaking ages!

 

 

 

Pinky is a super hot pink colour (It's probably at about 70% opacity/brightness in this picture). You can build it up to be much much brighter, or you can wear it sheerly so it's not so in your face. It applies smoothly onto your lips but does leave them feeling a little dry as most lip liners do. I don't think I could ever wear just this on it's own, it definitely needs some kind of lipgloss/lipstick. Pinky lip liner requires sharpening as it doesn't have a twist up option. This will result in loss of product which may deter some people. However, for the price of $2 I don't think 20c of possible wasted product is an issue.

 

 

Pinky contains 2g of product and retails for $2.00 (Currently down to $1.50) off NonParielBoutique (http://www.nonpareilboutique.com/nyx-long-lipliner-pencil-lpl18-pinky.html). This liner is amazing for the price. I highly suggest it!

Review: Australis Face-O-Holic Kit!

Morning everyone :) I wanted to get this post up ASAP. It's a review of the Australis Face-O-Holic Kit in Touch and Glow. It's limited edition and is currently in Target's bargain bins for 5 bucks as they are trying to get rid of it! Here's what it looks like:

 

This is what the packaging looks like on the outside.

 

 

 

And this is what the kit looks like! First off, it's freaking huge. I should have done a comparison photo but this compact is almost as big as my face! It contains a whopping 45g of product! The Face-O-Holic kit comes with a Paparazzi Perfect Blush in the colour Flash It, a pressed powder in the colour deep natural and an illuminator on the end. One thing I love about this product is the ratio is fantastic. The compact is divided so that you get a tonne of pressed powder, and then a smaller portion of the blush and illuminator. Obviously you would go through a lot more of the pressed powder than the other 2 because powder goes over you're whole face, blush and highlighter go just on the cheeks!

 

 

The left side blush is really gorgeous. I love how it's marbled because you can dip in the middle of the pan, or on the top and get a completely different blush colour every time. It's really pigmented and stays on a good amount of time, I haven't noticed fading. It is shimmery though, which some people may not like!

 

The pressed powder is quite nice. I do prefer my Rimmel Stay Matte as I feel it keeps me matte for longer (I get an oily nose and chin). In saying this I do think it's good. Would I buy it separately once I use up the one in the kit - no, but I still will happily use up everything in the pan!

 

The highlighter is probably the stand out of this palette. It's so stunning. It's a shimmery white colour with freaking awesome pigmentation. This is something I would buy separately but I don't think it's available on it's own unfortunately!

 

Blush, Pressed Powder, Highlighter

 

This palette is incredible! When it came out a few months ago it retailed at $20 and if I had of seen it then I would have 100% paid the 20 bucks to get it. However I'm glad I didn't see it then because I got it for $5 a couple of days ago! Hopefully there are still some left in Target's bargain bins in the beauty section because they are a steal! Goodluck finding one!
