Sticks & Stones

These are just some swatches, comparisons & opinions on the Bourjois products I hauled recently, shown here . I didn't include the mascara in this post as I haven't opened it yet. Bourjois Blusher #54 Rose Frisson If you have tried any of the Bourjois blushers you will notice a beautiful rose scent when you open it. Out of the 3 Bourjois blushers I own, this one has the strongest smell but it doesn't bother me. This blush is highly pigmented (shown below, swatched directly from the pot) & I would describe it as a satin finish, as there is no obvious shimmer but it is not matte.  Delice de Soleil bronzing powder The Delice de Soleil bronzing powder is meant to give a 'delicious natural & radiant tan'. I find the pigmentation is not the best, it took a few swipes for it to show up on my bare arm. It is mainly matte but it does have a few shimmer particles. Originally I wanted the chocolate bronzer but I have not been able to find it online! So I settled fo...

I've been waiting a while to receive all my packages that I ordered around the same time so I could put them into a collective haul-style post this time. I've been using some of the products in my FOTD's so I'm happy I can finally show you properly, now! Cherry Culture Nyx Eye Shadow Base in White, Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp Nyx Black Label Lipstick in Nude La Splash Glitter Splash (names below) Cherryculture.com has regular specials & I'm pretty sure I got these Nyx products between 15-25% off when they are a good price anyway. The glitters were $5.99 each, and they have the biggest range! I can definitely recommend these glitters, and I've used them in a couple of looks and you can see how glitter can also be wearable but then also dramatic (obviously!! It's all up to you how it turns out ;)). I found this website has extremely quick shipping as I ordered these not long before beauty joint but I got them 2 weeks before!  Giveaway Prize  Techn...

Although I technically ordered a couple of these products before the end of last year, I have received them within the new year with much excitement & unfortunately, a little bit of disappointment. So here are my newest acquired makeup products for the year. First up, my number one baby at the moment. I have been wanting this for soo long so when it finally came back into stock from www.kissandmakeupny.com I had to buy it. I'm sure most of you have heard about it/seen it/ tried it before but it is everything & more. I don't have too many "high end" products so when I do get them I cherish them. It is the perfect colour, doesn't look muddy & orangey, it has a slight shimmer but nothing to upset the face if you use it for contouring, which it is good for, too.  www.ozsale.com.au had another China Glaze sale on not too long ago. Unfortunately when I opened the packet I could smell nail polish straight away, & I knew something had gone terribly wrong. ...

It's far from fall here but some days have been feeling a little bit cooler, so I hopped on the fall makeup bandwagon lol. These camera angles make my forehead & nose huge & my chin tiny! eep.  Products Face: Revlon Photoready foundation Blush: Wish I could remember which one! I don't have too many to choose from so I'll guess its...Nyx peach? Contouring: Nude by Nature eye definer Eyes: Vani-t Eye pencil in bronze (unfortunately makes eyeshadow crease almost instantly) Urban Decay Naked 2: Snakebite for lid & lower lash line, Suspect in crease, Buster in outer crease, Blackout to slightly define outer v, Bootycall to highlight UD Whiskey liner on waterline, Zero for lashline  Lips: Australis Samba l/s with a tiny dab of Nyx Harmonica in the middle. So yeah that's pretty much it, thanks for looking! Bonus pic of chester! If he hears the water running at night when I'm washing my face he'll come running in. He has found a new bed in the basin!

Ughh guys, I am so sorry for being so boring lately. :( I don't have much time to do my makeup too exciting lately let alone take pics... I also haven't bought too much stuff lately.. but here's some things I have bought over the last 2 months  Chemist Haul (sorry for the bad pic!)... Lady Jayne Bristle brush, Lady Jayne small plastic hair ties, Swisspers Day Cream with SPF (I need a new day cream & this one smelt lovely, I'm liking it so far) & my HG Makeup remover wipes by Garnier.  On this website a while ago, http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/ they were having a huge sale for cosmetics, Revlon, Maybelline, L'oreal etc, they had some big bargains. I got this bronzing stuff, All About Glo for $19 instead of I think $39? Anyway I thought I had better stock up for summer, & also they were sold out of pretty much everything else haha) & in the spray bottle is "Rock Chick Wave  Spray"  Top- Pressed Bronzing Powder, Under that in that gold thin...

haha sorry for all the FOTD posting (which isn't even that much) but I want to get some out of the way for when I am away. I have older pics to post too like the one I posted yesterday so if it seems like some times my hair looks faded or my eyebrows look messy it's coz they are not posted in order.... (I still have some from months ago that I wanna post!!) Sorry for the posey pics I was in a posey mood :P Not much changed with my hair, I just got it dyed that same dark red/purple colour (to match my extensions which I barely wear! my hair is long anyway haha) & my side fringe re-cut.... which I think I may grow out again & style it to the middle haha that doesn't make sense.. oh am I the only one with the horrible short hairs around my hairline at the top!?? ahah Natural Light.... I wish my eyes were more squinty haha! Deer in Headlights lol Trying to show off some of the blonde I have in my hair.... Which is hard to show since it is hidden  Eyes: Bourjois Kohl ...

When I'm not really sure what eyeshadow to do, I usually just do golds or bronze. Add a bright lippy & I'm good to go, almost :) Also- I really want to do other posts not just FOTDs, but when I get back from Phuket expect a hugee haul. eee so excited! I may also start posting about makeup basics :) Eyes~ Nyx JEP in French Fries Sleek Storm Palette- See pic The usual e/l & mascara =) Face~ FOA Outback Primrose blush Physicians Formula Beige Glow Pearls Lips~ Nyx Spell Bound L/S   Ignore the numbers   I hadn't used these over french fries before so I really liked how it turned out!
