Recently Bought Items// Lips, Face & More

These are the items I have slowly collected over a few weeks. Unfortunately the delivery person in my town quit so we have had to collect our packages from the post office this past week, and I still have more waiting in the mail so that is frustrating.
Also I've found a few bargains but unfortunately they would probably be over, but if I find them I post on instagram so follow me @missashii_x
So I hold whatever lipsticks I don't stash away in my bag in an empty plastic chocolate container (oh you fancy, huh?) but I have wanted a separate lipstick holder to hold my faves so I can find them easier. I purchased this from ebay for around $12? & It feels really sturdy. Only downfall is that it fits in every lipstick size apart from my Maybelline Colorsensational lipsticks but I can live with that.

www.ozsale.com.au had a sale on Revlon Lip Butters a while back & I was going to buy from there but found a good seller on ebay with even cheaper prices. I already have Creamsicle & I like the formula so I got a couple more. I wanted Peach Parafit but that seems to be sold out regularly!

You can't really see it properly but as soon as I tried these out a little bit chipped off the corner of them so Sweet Tart is already out of shape, boo :/

Not too keen on Gumdrop on me, I really shouldn't have bothered with that one :/ but Sweet Tart is really pretty! Unfortunately no lip swatches for these colours. Also as I type I have the swatches on my hands & its been a few hours, but out of all the swatches these 2 have disappeared the fastest. But it's ok as they are not marketed for long wear.
 Ulta3 is a brand I have only seen in Terry White Chemists & they have an awesome selection of lipsticks. I bought a couple some years back but since then they have changed the packaging & probably the formula. For $3.95 they are a steal & look a lot more expensive than that! I already had the old Harem Pink colour which seems to be nothing like this, but I bought this again because of Mishelle who compared it to MAC Impassioned and it was such a close match!


The lip swatch is not true to colour but still looks pretty.
& now for another lipstick (can never have too many, right!?) It is the highly demanded Revlon Lip stains. They have only just been released in Australia so that is exciting. I think they are $17.95? I got mine in the colour Lovesick I thought it was the brightest pink there but apparently not, but I still really like it. They have a peppermint smell & feel a bit tingly when on the lips but is ultra moisturizing & lasts for a long time. However it goes on quite sheer-ly but darkens over time.


 Another cult item I bought was another Maybelline Colorstay Tattoo eyeshadow (click here to see swatches of my other ones) in Edgy Emerald, a beautiful medium green colour I've wanted forever. Super pretty & shimmery! I'm wearing it under similar colours down bellow.



 I also ordered a couple of China Glaze nail polishes from www.ozsale.com.au (they were just on sale & must come around every 4 weeks or so?).
 Firstly I got the Ridge Filler because I really like to use that as a base coat for my toenails obviously as it fills in any ridges for smoother application.

 & then I got these 2 colours, when I received them I realized I had ones similar to Pool Party already but I've wanted a pastel lavender colour forever. However I don't think it looks particularly good on me (much like Revlon Gumdrop)
 I added some sparkles & hearts from Justin Bieber's Nicole by O.P.I One more lonely girl which makes it look nicer, but I'm getting used to the colour anyway :)

Something I bought a little while ago was the Garnier Roll On Anti-Dark circles in Light-Medium. It looks very light on my hand but when I put it under my eyes it exactly matches my foundation, however I like it to be a little bit lighter for brightness so I think I will give this away to a friend. Plus I don't really have any dark circles to begin with.


One of the bargains was at Coles none the less, for Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation (loove) for only $12! Yep you heard me! I bought it in a lighter shade & my normal shade- soft beige. Love it so bad so at least I'm stocked up for a while.
 I also bought the Stay Matte powder in translucent, thanks to Tanya Burr from Pixi2woo, although if you know me you know I like the dewy look, but in summer I want to keep the oily away and I wore this on a 35C day and my foundation looked perfect before I had to take it off! & this was only $10.


 Another bargain was this Garnier pack in Woolworths for only $20, I bought it last Thursday so they may have it there still. After testing it out I decided I really liked it, I saw you could only get it in light or medium but I went medium even though it is a bit darker I can mix it with lighter colours if needed.
 I probably will give the face wash a try, but I like what I use at the moment but it is good to change up your skin care every once in a while which is what I think I need atm anyway.
 I use the body lotion for dry skin from Garnier anyway and I really do love it so lets see if I love this as much!
 And here's the beach bag that came with it, a decent size except you would want to add an extra small bag for your phone keys lipgloss etc to keep it from getting sandy.
So those are my most recent {cosmetic} buys! I will probably hopefully have a few more come through the mail next week.
Let me know if you have tried any of these products and if you like them!

  3. As much as I want to, I can never do lavender lips either! But the lavender nails look REALLY nice on you! By the way I am dying to try those Revlon lip stain crayons! A lot of the colours look pretty and I hope they don't settle into cracks like the marker lip stains do :)
