So firstly! I haven't blogged in a few weeks as I have just moved to Sydney (yay!) & it has been a little hectic unpacking & setting things up & getting used to a new city. I've been here just under 2 weeks now & i'm absolutely loving it - I'm currently setting up my room & waiting for it to be painted, once it is all set up I'll do a room tour blog post :)
But enough about that for now! Here are some of my favourite beauty products i've been loving recently! (been shopping a little too much...)
NYX Blush - 'Pinched'
First favourite is this amazing & affordable blush from NYX Cosmetics in 'Pinched' . If you haven't heard of NYX or haven't been able to buy it because you live in Australia like me, NYX has just started being stocked at Target!! *crowd cheers*. But really, this blush is extremely good value & has great colour pay off. Its a really pretty coral pink colour with a hint of shimmer. They retail for only $10 in Target. Definitely going to be buying more colours in this range!
Revlon - 'Lash Potion' Mascara
Revlon's new Mascara 'Lash Potion' has definitely been a hit amongst other beauty bloggers. I saw lots of reviews on YouTube & i'm going to be honest, I bought it 75% because of the amazing packaging! But as well as being super pretty, this mascara is amazing! It definitely volumizes & lengthens my lashes & it is also waterproof which is great for me as my mascara tends to smudge on my bottom lashes if the forumulation isn't waterproof. It retails for about $18 at Priceline.
Toni & Guy - Sea Salt Spray
Onto a hair favourite! I've been loving using Sea Salt sprays in my hair for a more causal natural look. It also means you dont need to use a heat styling tool on your hair as the sea salt spray really texurizes the hair. This is a new purchase but have heard great things about the Toni & Guy Sea Salt Spray & they were all right! Not only does this spray add texture & A LOT of volume it also smells amazing, which is always a bonus. I've been loving just throwing my hair up in a pony tail & scrunching some sea salt spray through it & you're good to go! The price varies at different stores but I picked mine up for $16 at Woolworths.
Too Faced - 'A Few Of My Favourite Things'
I recently went to the Mecca Maxima store at Warringah Mall which has just recently opened. I highly recommend you check it out if you are a makeup & beauty lover as it is A-MAZING. I was after another eye shadow palette & the lovely sales lady pointed me in the direction of this baby by Too Faced. There are 20 gorgeous eye shadows as well as 2 blushes & 2 bronzers all for only $75! It was an offer that was too good to pass up. I haven't got to use every eye shadow in here yet but my current favourite is 'Whiskers On Kittens' its a beautiful nude shade for your lid but also has a little bit of sparkle in there & just looks so natural & great. I believe this might be a a Christmas special so if you are keen on it I would definitely pop into a Mecca Maxima store when you can.
Sally Hansen - 'Pennies For Heaven' Polish
Okay so i'm a little bit obsessed with Rose Gold things & when i saw this nail polish by Sally Hansen I HAD to get it. It is the perfect Rose Gold colour. It takes 3 coats to become nicely opaque, you could get away with 2 but I always do 3 just to make the colour stronger. I have been wearing this polish non stop & have been getting quite a few compliments on it which is always nice! I believe this colour is also a limited edition shade so search out your nearest stores! You can pick this polish up in Priceline for $14.95.
Too Faced - Lip Injection 'Bee Sting'
So along with the Too Faced Palette I mentioned earlier in the little gift set I also received this Lip products & a tester size mascara. I really liked the colour of this lip product as its a real "your lips but better" colour & WOW does this plump up your lips. When i first put it on i'm not gonna lie, my lips did feel like they had been stung by a bee slightly as they tingle & sting (the product tells you this prior). That sensation only lasts a few minutes & then you are left with super plump glossy looking lips! I am unsure of how much this product retails for alone or if it is sold separately. But when I find out I will post about it! (i'm sure it is available online).
NYX Lipstick - 'Femme'
Another NYX product to add to my favourites! These lipsticks come in a great colour range & this coral colour caught my eye. It is definitely a more orangey coral which is not a shade i usually go for in lip products but I love it! The formulation is really creamy & long wearing. I also like applying this lightly & adding a bit of red lipstick on top, rubbing them together & it leaves a really pretty natural lip colour. This lipstick costs $9.95 from Target. I am wearing the lip colour in the picture below :)
So they are my current beauty faves! I'll be doing this kind of posts every so often when I have a bunch of new products I'm loving. Let me know what your favourite beauty products are at the moment in the comments, I would love to know!
