So on this rush trip I was still able to get a bit of shopping in with my brothers' girl Kadie, we got to go to Garden City where I remembered they had MAC (again) so I had to buy a few things.
Firstly I wanted Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle but they had sold out :( The S.A was showing me some other loose powder highlights that were meant to have a wet finish but they looked a bit too glittery. So I settled on Lightscapade which is a beautiful, soft shimmery highlight. I still want to get soft & gentle eventually, although I think it will take me forever to use this baby up.
Next I thought I would finally buy Paintery paintpot because I see so many people rave about it. I haven't properly experimented with it yet, unsure if I would prefer to use it on it's own or over a primer. It would be perfect for neutral, matte eyelooks. Don't think I could ever use this up, either!
And from the start I knew I wanted a bright lipstick. I asked for Impassioned (been lemming this for a loong time!) but she said it was limited edition- say what?? Not sure I should believe that one! Maybe it is in Australia, I don't know. So then I asked for Vegas Volt, but changed it to Morange soon after because I had been wanting this for a long time as well. & I am so glad I got it- It is the perfect orange for summer! I also got Kadie to buy her first MAC product, Honeylust (I swore that was the name but it's only showing eyeshadow on google :S) lipstick which is perfect on her.
& I never intended to post this picture as I do not have anything at all on my face, but it's always nice to see a full-faced picture of the lipstick. I did not use any other lip products with it here.
So everybody knows makeup is more expensive over here, but I will share the total anyway.
These 3 products came to the cost of *drumroll* $118.00 0.o. Lightscapade being the most expensive at $47 holy moly I knew it was going to be a bit but I bit the bullet, although I believe that the total cost, if I were in the U.S, would be $62.50 so I had lost $55.50 but it is always nicer to go in store, you don't have to wait for shipping & worry about damages & I had good service so it was worth it-- sort of.
www.ozsale.com had a sale on MAC a couple of weeks ago although there was barely anything to choose from, I did purchase a couple of lipsticks & blush so hopefully that wont be too far away!
I also went to Sportsgirl because of Sleep & Water & Mishelle from Mishelle's sleepy time. I was going to buy a couple more lipsticks but I thought I had better not this time, although I wish I did now.
I swear I saw a review on this from somebody, but can't remember who, so I had to buy The Scrub Up Body Exfoliator. It is vanilla-flavoured which is a scent I normally like, however it is almost over-bearing in this product. However I can easily look past the smell. This is quite a soft exfoliant so you may want to use a Salux Cloth with it, which is what I used the second time around.
You get a huge amount of product for only $9.95, the only downside is being in a tub I always get water in it while using it in the shower.
I also bought the Pout About It! Lip colour in Fruit Tingle for a good price of $9.95. Although, when I got home I realized I had similar colours already. I haven't worn this properly yet but it is a good, muted orange-y matte colour. But now I wish I had bought something different instead, the bright pinks & reds look gorgeous. This looks quite neon, but I've seen it look muted on others so I think I will add a nude lipgloss over the top when I wear it.
Also when I got home I had realized that I have another lipstick from a different brand that had the same exact packaging, although the Sportsgirl one at least had a label you could see properly. The one on the right is in the colour Sunburst from the David Jones makeup line & I *think* it was $14.95 when I got it. I don't use it that much, though. The only label on it is a barcode sticker but it doesn't even say the brand so luckily I could remember it. The only real difference between the two is Sunburst is a tiny but darker.

I did mention at the start of something else we bought up in Perth, so here it is!
Our new baby, a Jetski!
& the first time I've ever driven one, trust me I was actually terrified lol
Thanks for looking! xx
MORANGE LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU I'm a little bit jealous LOL. I always try it on at the store but it just looks so bad/weird on me! Can't wait to see what looks you do with it =)
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that you have a Seadoo! I've never been on one but I really want to be! I'd be really scared too lol... I hope you're enjoying summer as it's cold as HELL in the northern hemisphere right now ha ha

I only have a few of their products but the ones I do have, I love them. And ok :)
DeleteI just ordered a Paint Pot. I hope I love it !
ReplyDeleteSo far I've found I still need to use a primer with this one, but it's great for blanking out the eyelid! I'd probably also use mine on the lips, heh.
DeleteLovel haul, Morange looks amazing on you - I certainly could not pull that lipstick off! And omg, is that a jetski I see?? Ahh, I've always wanted to ride one! Looks like so much fun! x
ReplyDeleteThanks huni, I'm sure there would be similar colours to Morange that would look stunning on you. Yess it sure is-- and it is awesome! Ours came with a sea biscuit & knee board too
DeleteI have yet to try a msn
ReplyDeleteI only have 2, and I really like them.
DeleteI love Morange I was going to buy it but got the similar shade in the pro longwear formula. I really want to try some sportsgirl lipsticks too

I used to love Sportsgirl beauty products, but haven't used them for a long time (I think since NYE). I'll have to go in and check them out.
ReplyDeletePretty sure Impassioned is not LE lol! Ouch, MAC is criminally overpriced here - but at least you won't be using up those products you bought for a long while :) Fruit Tingle is a great summery shade and Morange looks fabulous on you! :)
ReplyDeleteI know that's what I thought, everytime I go to buy it, it's not there though, and theres no tester :S
DeleteYep thats the way I look at it, I wont be buying them again for a loong time!
