Sportsgirl Lighten Up - Berrylicious

So the week before my birthday, I bought a lot of bits and bobs from all over the place and now am getting a chance (or more so remembering) to blog about them.

Here is Sportsgirl's Lighten Up Berrylicious lipgloss.

Why did I buy this? I bought it because it had a light and mirror on it. That is really the reason. Here a picture of where the light sits:

Perfect for anywhere and can be worn during the day and night.

The colour is right up my alley with pink sparkles mixed in with hot pink and a purple tinge. I wear it during the day and wore it on the night of my birthday. It spreads on evenly and does not have a gluggy, sticky feeling. It feels so light on the lips and has a polished finish that makes it easy to wear. It has a natural feeling when worn and does not dry out. The only time you need to re-apply is after you've had a drink or eaten.

When I wear it, it smells like rainbow paddle pop. For those that don't know what that is, it's an icecream with this yummy creamy, bubblegum flavour.

I actually haven't had a paddle pop in years but remember the distinct taste and this is the healthier way for me to enjoy the aromas without eating junk :)

I bought this lipgloss for $4.95 on sale but this normally costs $9.95. Because this is a past season item, the new lipgloss colours and range are on their website here - you will need to click on "beauty" and "lips" as it does not directly create a link for some reason.

I recommend this product to anyone because it's not too bright and for me, pink goes with everything! It doesn't draw away attention to other parts of your make-up or outfit that you may be wearing and brings a bit of colour into your face as well.

We <3 KA'OIR Cosmetics

So I discovered this brand Ka'Oir (pronouned Kay-Or) when I was looking at Snooki's Facebook page. Yes, I like Snooki and yes I like Jersey and Geordie Shore!!

The colours in the range are in your face, eye catching, vivacious colours that make you stand out in any crowd! I absolutely love the range and wish I could wear the colours in my every day life. I couldn't really tell you how this...

...would go down in the office. Should I try it?

To be honest, I would love to buy all the colours but realistically, I don't think I would wear all of the colours. I guess if I'm really game, then I would want every lipstick to match a certain piece of clothing. Who knows I might do it!

So, right now there are specials at Ka'Oir where if you buy 4 products out of the Lipsticks, Lip pops or Eyeshadow it will cost $54 in total. Thought this was a good deal to mix and match want you like. You can even buy every single item in the the different ranges and save on the total cost as well.

The reason why I was attracted to Ka'Oir as well was because of Snooki's signature lipstick:

Her lipstick is a baby pink girly lipstick and very Snooki! She named it Snookilicious. I like it! I think her lipstick is more "normal" in comparison to the other items on offer.

So check out the website here or just click on any of the pictures :)

I think this cosmetics range is perfect for any party lover or any bubbly, funky, out there girl! or guy if you fancy make-up! The range is not tested on animals and advertises that the products go on smoothly with no chapping. I want to put in my order when Snooki's lipstick is available on August 13th.

Have fun with it!

Maybelline Color Tattoo - Tenacious Teal

On another Priceline run, there was Maybelline Color Tattoos on special! Currently Maybelline is on a 3 for 2 special but I paid $7.95 on special. From memory it was $14.95 regular price I think!

Instantly drawn to this range, I thought I would check out what was on offer. I was tossing up between the purple and teal and decided on this deep, rich colour. I may go back and get the purple but haven't decided yet. I liked that the Tenacious Teal was still bright even as a darker shade.

Ok, so this isn't the best application and I sort of just rushed it on. It is a cream gel shadow and it is a lot brighter in person than in picture.

The model pic seems a little bit too bright in my opinion so it makes me think the below pic had some other colours blended.

Possibly I might have to add more of the cream gel on to get this effect but I believe some editing may have been involved with this pic too.

What's good about this product is that it does not crease like it advertises and has 24 hour wear. Not that you need to wear this for 24 hours.... I think it is just promoting that it's long lasting.

I like the Tenacious Teal because it's one of those electrifying colours. It stands out but also makes you look a bit more lively in the face.

I think with this colour you can go with simple nude lips or bright pink lipstick would really work too! This colour is versatile in that it's bright enough for summer but also great for an evening occasion.

Hello Kitty - Majorelle Eyeshadow

I went into Priceline as I normally do every week to see what is on special.

What I found was that I got a free cosmetics bag if I purchased ANY Hello Kitty product. Awesome I thought!

So I purchased a compact mirror and an eyeshadow named Marjorelle. Please note these items can only be found in Priceline.

The eyeshadow is a deep blue glitter with a charcoal undertone. Here is a lame attempt at a picture of the eyeshadow:

I tried real hard to get the lighting right for this picture. The eyeshadow looks more charcoal grey in this picture. I can definitely say that when you put this on, it is a charcoal blue with glitter scattered across. No snapshot really captured the colour I found, so really sorry about that!

In the Hello Kitty range, they do mono as well as duo eyeshadows. The eyeshadow cost $9.95 and the compact mirror on my original picture cost $10. I believe other colours in the eyeshadow was light blue, purples, greens and pink.

I am really into deep blue at the moment and pairing it with hot pink, so this is why I bought this particular eyeshadow - to match with Hot Pink lipstick.

Always check out your local Priceline as you never know what freebie or bargain you can find :D

LiLi out!

Napoleon Perdis - Mauritius Peach

I bring to you Napoleon Perdis' Mauritius Peach lipgloss.

I am still deciding whether I like this lipgloss or not. The colour is amazing but it is hard to get this smoothed out on your lips without having that strokey look. I tried butting my lips but then I found the cracks in your lips stood out and also that it doesn't even out on your lips. I feel that you do have to paint this lipgloss on to achieve the look you want. And, by paint I mean lap it on.

I think if I perfect getting the lipgloss on my lips, I'll post a video up or photo up LOL!!

Here is a picture of it on:

I really hope you can see the colour but it's a soft peachy shimmering lipgloss with gold glitter or alternatively it is a gold shimmery lipgloss with a peachy glitter through it. It's both really! Haha :D I love the colour but still figuring out how to wear it.

I think it's a great summer lipgloss if you're heading to the beach or a summer party. It's definitely a great lipgloss for going out and if you're wearing a gold sparkly dress, it would add a nice touch. To be honest, I don't think this would suit any dark coloured outfit at all. It's too softly toned to go against anything bold in colour.

I bought this for $23 from Big W and Ebay sells it for the same price. There are many Napoleon Perdis counters at the shopping centres, so you can definitely have a test with the make-up artists also.

Have a nice day!
