L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara - Review

Wow, I have had this mascara for ages! This mascara use to be my mums and now it's mine. We've defiantly had it for over 3 years and it has still been perfect!

I really love this mascara. It is in my top 5. Some people don't like it because of the brush but I think it's the brush that makes it.

The brush is plastic and has no long bristles. The brush actually picks up your eyelashes and drags them to make them look longer. I use to use this for my top eye lashes but now I just use it for my bottoms and works just as well.

I have noticed lately that the mascara has gotten a bit weird so I think it's time I repurchase! 

Empties!

I love trying out new products and seeing what the hype is and how they are like. These are some of the things I have used up.

This is my cucumber peel of mask by Freeman. I honestly love this mostly because peel of masks are so fun. I bought this for $10 at Coles which is cheap and affordable. I've had this for pretty long and I can say that this isn't completely empty but I can't get anymore out! I really do love this product and I have noticed differences. After using this my skin has become so soft and hydrated it just feels like heaven. 

I'm not going to write much here because I have a separate review which you can find a few pages back in my blog. I do have to note that since this is empty, I have purchased a new one and I have found that the formula is really weird and different. The one in the picture above gave my skin and lovely glow and since my skin isn't oily, I really liked it. Now I brought another one and its a different shade it looks very cakey and unnatural and just bad in general. I'm not sure why but I do think the colour has something to do with it. 

I'm also not going to write much here because I have recently done a separate review on this which you can find on my blog. 

Nail polish remover is honestly my saviour. I don't know what I would do it out it since I love to do my nails and try new and interesting designs but sometimes I stuff up. I really love this Sally Hansen remover because it not only strengthens my nails but moisturises them too which is always good in a remover and it actually removes the nail polish unlike some other brands.

I'm also not going to write much on this product because I recently did a review on this. It's amazing! 

I really love this face moisturiser by Bioré. It sinks in my skin so fast which is so good because I hate having the sticky feeling. The moisturiser is so hydrating and makes my skin so soft.

Again, I've done another review on this post that you can find in my blog. 

This was the very first 'liquid' eyeliner I've ever brought and I honesty love it. It was felt tip so it was so easy to use and I feel like repurchasing another one but maybe from a different brand. I usually actually just dip the tip into my liquid eyeliner by Elf.

Oh wow. Again I've done a separate review on this and it should be on my first page because I think it was the second post I ever made? Anyway, I honestly love this lip balm so much it's wasted and I'm going to cry and buy a new one.

Colours Of The Rainbow - Tag

Starting with red, I have my holy grail lip product. It's Lucas Paw Paw Ointment and its honestly just amazing and this is my fourth tube of it and just buy it. If you want to know more about this, I have done a separate review if you scroll down my blog. 

Orange, for orange I have my Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation. This foundation really does do what it says and it's just perfect for a long day. 

Yellow, I couldn't find anything yellow so I decided to go for gold. It's my NYX Glitter Cream Palette. In shade Bronze Goddess.

Green, I've had this peel off mask by Freeman for ages and I honestly love it so much. It smells like cucumber and its so fun to peel off. Definitely recommend because I have seen a difference in my skin and its really cheap. 

Blue, I recently brought this blue eyeliner by Rimmel in shade Turquoise. I brought it for really cheap and because it gave me a pop of colour that wasn't too big. 

Violet, I have Maybelline Falsies Mascara and its just amazing. Defiantly need to repurchase. 

Last is pink. I have NYX lip butter and its just amazinnggggg. It's in shade Peaches and Cream which is a pinky peach colour and I just love it. The best part is that is honestly smells like peaches and cream and I just feel so tempted to lick my lips.

If you want to know more about each of these products, I should have a review on most of them. If not there will be some coming soon! 

 

Top 3 Pick Lip Picks!!

These 3 lipsticks would defiantly be my go to pink lips. These lip products are cheap and extremely good quality.

The first pink on the left is NYX round in shade Gem. It's a shimmery bold pink colour that is seriously just fabulous. 

Next, in the middle is Rimmel Kate Moss in shade 16. It's a really pretty light pink with a hint of a lovely peach. 

Last is NYX round again, in shade Blush. It's a cute barbie pink. 

St. Ives Blemish Control Scrub - Review

So I brought this nearly a month ago and I've been using it non stop! Usually I would apply anything to my face once a week but on the back of this, it said for best results apply 3-4 a week... so I followed it. 

Since my skin is pretty normal, but also sensitive, I like to look for a few particular words before I purchase anything to put on my face. The main would be 'Hypoallergenic' which means the product is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Next I like to look for 'Dermatologist tested' which means that the product has been tested to see if it says what it does and doesn't cause irritation or anything like that. This product has both of those and more, which is one of the reasons I brought it.

What is also great is that it is 100% natural extracts. 

This is really easy to use and I highly reccomend it. You just apply by rubbing it into your skin and then washing it off. I like to use a face washer so I can also massage it into my skin. 

I have defiantly seen a change in my skin, I still have the pimple brake out every no and then but I can handle that. I do see that my skin has gotten clearer and looks a lot more fresh. 

In the photo above you can see the formulation of the face wash. You can see that it has little particles that look like sand (it's not) but those little particles are what will exfoliate your face to get the dead skin off and give you a new layer of fresh and clean skin. It also makes my skin so soft.

I use this product Thursday-Saturday and I honestly look forward to those days because I just love using the product. It feels so fresh on the skin and its just the best feeling after a long day.

I would 100% repurchase this, not only because it does work and I have seen a difference in my skin but it is also cheap, which is great for me. It's anywhere from AUD $8-$10. 

Revlon Colourstay Eyeshadow - Review

I tried this palate out the other day, the colours are really nice and they are great for everyday. 

I have some pros and cons about this product and most of them are sadly cons. 

In the photo above you can see the swatches of the eyeshadows, I'm a little disappointed because all the colours other than the brown one are really shimmery and you cant even see them. Since my eyelids sometimes get oily, the shimmers are bad. The colours hardly stay on me all day anyway. 

I tried doing a look with the two pinks and it just came out pretty horrible. The application of the actual eyeshadow was weird, it didn't even come off my brush and go on my eyelid. 

I tried another look with the sandy brown colour and the darker brown but that was pretty similar with the pinks in application wise. 

With the product being called 'Colourstay' I do imagine the colour would stay and apply well but it didnt at all. I am a little disappointed mostly because Revlon products are usually amazing but lately with their Colourstay range some of the products have been bad. 

I dont think I would repurchase this. I would obviously love to buy other brands when I get the money. 

DIY: Homemade Hand Scrub

Here is a quick post on my homemade hand scrub. This scrub is amazing for your hands because it not only exfoliates, moisturises but brightens and brings the live back into your hands.

Ingredients: 

• Lemon
• Salt/sugar
• Oil
• Lemon Zest

So, the sugar or salt, whatever you use will act as the exfoliator. It will get the dead skin particles off and that will also make your skin extremely soft.The lemon will brighten your skin and make it look youthful and same with the lemon zest. The oil will hydrate your skin and also make your skin so soft because the oil will skin in and act like a moisturiser.  

Ps. I'm sorry that the video is bad quality and shitty filmed! 

Mirenesse Mascara - Review

As soon as I applied this, my eyelashes lengthened 10 times more. This mascara makes my eyelashes so natural but really long at the same time.

That is just one coat, I don't have a photo after 2 coats but I'm sure you know what it would look like.

I would 100% recommend this mascara to absolutely anyone! It comes off so easily too which is perfect for me because I just like using water. 

I can't remember how much I bough this for but I have to buy a new one because I bought the smallest tube. 

Maybelline The Falsies - Review

Let me start by saying, I owned the left one first which is Black Drama. I had it for about 4 months and it was working perfectly. 

I'll start with the positives first, I really do love this mascara. It's defiantly one of my favourites. The formula is actually perfection, it lengthens, gives volume  and it just does everything you want a mascara to do. It's just amazing. 

One day though, I was about to use it and as soon as I pulled it out of the bottle, I could tell it was different. I didn't really care so I applied it and it was just horrible! The formula didn't lengthen and made my eyelashes just disgusting and all cluggy. It was pretty much a full bottle so I have no idea what happened, it felt empty and just weird. I know after about 3-6 months mascaras go 'stale' but I mean one day it was perfectly fine and the next it was just so different. 

After that, I knew I needed to buy a new one because I knew that hadn't happened to anyone else and I've always heard such good things about it and never anything bad so I thought it was just me.

I knew there was a sale on makeup in my chemist so I thought it would be a perfect time to purchase a new one since they were half price. So I saw the Black Drama one and the Flared one, I decided to go for something different and the the silver one which is on the right in the photo.

This is my biggest regret, I don't know why but the formula felt the same as my old Black Drama one which is so weird. I was really disappointed. It makes my eyelashes cluggy and doesn't lengthen much. 

I would really love to purchase Black Drama again when it goes on sale since it was so good.

Revlon Nail Polish - Review

Revlon nail polishes are always so nice. I really love the colour range and the formula of them.

I'm not to sure about the colour of this one though, in the bottle it looks lovely but on the actual nail it's too dark and looks like more of a off red. 

I really do love Revlon nail polish though and I can find it for really cheap so I would defiantly repurchase since all of their products are so good. 

Worst buys for under $5!

Oh my god, I wrote this WHOLE post and the whole thing deleted. So here I go again.

First, I have NYX lipstick in their matte formula. I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about these. I have found that some colours have different formulas. The colour I have in particular I have heard and experienced that the lipstick is sooo chalky and just yuck when you apply. The colour is so amazing though and it just upsets me. When applying I've found that its really hard to apply and really drying and doesn't look good on the lips at all.

Next is a Maybelline lipstick. I usually generally like Maybelline lipsticks and its not the formula I don't like. It's the colour, when buying this on the Internet, the colour looked soooo different but when I got it it was white, literally. It's like transparent and you can't even see it. It does have some shine to it as you will be able to see in the swatch below but when applying it, you can't even see on the lips. I bought this for about $3 on sale.

Now, this one is my last lip product, it's a lip liner from Revlon. This lip liner is the worst I've ever had. It's so hard and drying on the lips and its just horrible. It drags my lips when I apply. I have more I'm this liner if you interested, just scroll through my blog. I bought this for $3.99.

 Next is Rimmel Stay Matte powder. I have heard so many great things about this product, but for me I find it really cakey. When I apply it I look so cakey and powdery it's just horrible. It feels very heavy and looks weird too. I brought this for $4.99 on sale. 

Now since I can't afford expensive makeup wipes, I like to try different cheap ones. I know this can be bad for me since I have sensitive skin but I thought I'd give it a try. These wipes though, oh my god. The broke me out sooooo bad and they are just horrible. I bought these for $1 on sale, I have another brand which is amazing which I will feature in an upcoming post soon. 

Best buys for under $5!

Since I know a lot of people can't afford expensive stuff (me) I thought of doing this post on the best things I have brought for under 5 dollars. 

Number one is my Paw Paw. It is my favourite lip balm ever. If your interested in this product, I have done a separate review on it, so check it out. You can buy this for anywhere from $4-$5.

Next, I have a blue eyeliner from Rimmel. I have brown eyes so I think that blue or green eyeliners make my eyes really stand out. I have the colour Turquoise 007.I bought this for $4.97.

Next, I have NYX round lipstick in Gem. I bought this for $3.

After that, I have NYX butter gloss in Peaches and Cream. I bought this for $4.75.

I bought this next product for $3 I think, it's Elf Tickled Pink blush.

My last product is Rimmel lipstick. I have it in shade Cutting Edge. I bought this for $4.99 on sale. 

If you want to know anymore about these products let me know so I can do a separate review on each. 

Top Lip Picks for Summer!

So since its summer on the other side of the world, I thought I should share my top lip picks. I know this might sound bad, but I really dislike summer. I live in Australia so it is extremely dry and hot so when it's summer, Australia just catches of fire... literally! We have sooo many bush fires and I hate it, obviously. 

In the summer, I see alotttttt of bright colours. I think that a lot of corals and pinks are in for the summer.

First, I have a lip gloss. It's NYX butter gloss in Peaches and Cream. Which is a really nice pinky coral. Perfect for summer.

Next, in the middle is Rimmel Kate Moss 16. It's a bright pink colour. It has a really funny smell to it though, it's kind of sour. But it is so lovely for summer.

The last one is NYX round in Gem. It's a shimmer hot pink. I usually hate shimmer lipsticks but this one is sooo nice. It's not frosty which is nice too.
