Day of the Dead OOTD

DOTD

I love the bright colours that this print has to offer with all the sugar skulls. I'm not really skull person but I love the multi-coloured print.

These babies cost $75 from Black Milk Clothing and aren't a limited piece! Yay! There is also a swim that I would love to get also but that is on the waiting list!

The top cost me $15 from Supre - anything I can wear over these leggings that is loose fitting is perfect to me!

Here is a pic of my fav sugar skull:

This was a dress I bought for $25 but Supre usually has it on special for $15 and right now in store having a 25% off the whole collection.

The shoes are $10 from Rubi Shoes and then I ended up adding a black cardigan which was on sale for $5 at Supre. But very cheap outfit I must say and it makes your butt look amazing!!

 

Glossybox - April

20120506-174700.jpg

I received my April Glossybox in May so I've tried to test out the products before submitting my review. I was fairly impressed with the selection apart from the fact I was sent 2 moisturizers which I thought was a tad bit silly. I received a nail polish, gel eye liner and rose hip skin care oil. In addition to this I received a 15% off integrity cosmetics voucher and $25 voucher for the Iconic

I am currently wearing the Blush amour Sunset in paradise nail polish I received. This normally costs $4.95 and can be bought from their website.

In the picture the colour looks like a coral red - almost tangerine as well. At the time they did look more orange than red. Now, when I look at my nails, it looks like strawberry red. I'm thinking it changes colour depending on the light. I have never heard of this brand before, but I find that the nail polish glides on smoothly and evenly. It also dries fast which is always a bonus. I think it's a cute colour and works well with my skin tone.

The two moisturizers I received was an Orange and Bergamot sensitive skin cream from Redwin and a Protecting moisturizer from Integrity.

Redwin is endorsed by our very own Jennifer Hawkins. I thought it might have a strong fruity scent but the scent is ever so gentle. Redwin create products especially for sensitive skin and use organic products. Integrity did not have the most pleasant smell. It's probably because of the ingredient mixture of kelp extract, flaxseed oil, aloe vera, chamomile and green tea. The ingredients themselves are good for your body. Together, it just doesn't smell that great to me. I will continue to use these products but for now will say that they are like any other moisturizers to me. If I notice any significant changes in my skin, I'll share it but in general I find that they all do the same job and it just comes down to preference.

What I am really excited about to use is the Rosehip Organic Skincare 7 precious oils. It is meant to revitalize the skin and eradicate scars, spots, burns etc to give the skin it's natural feel and glow.

I am going to implement this into my daily beauty routine and see if I can reduce the spots/scars on my cheeks and chin. Will definitely keep you posted on how it goes.

And, last but not least Mirenesse Tight Liner which is a Hydra gel eye liner. It comes in a pen and feels like you are using liquid liner but sets as a gel eye liner. It is also smudgeproof which is very handy. I received the shade Saphire Blue (yes they spelled Sapphire wrong).

It was easy to apply and I am totally a sucker for packaging. I like blue eyeliners but I know they aren't for everyone. I like that it doesn't smudge. Wore this all day and it didn't smudge - even when I went to rub my eyes because I was tired. Works like magic! I think I have found my new brand of eyeliner :D

So, there you have it - Glossybox April.

Finding Formula 10.0.6

Wandering around in shops is good. You find new products that you wouldn't notice if you rush. I like going shopping by myself because I take my time, walk like a turtle and have a good browse of shops I wouldn't normally.

The other day I stumbled upon a new find: Formula 10.0.6.

I'm like the worst person when it comes to a beauty routine and cleansing my face properly. My purchase was the Best Face Forward Daily Foaming Cleanser which I have used daily since I bought it.  I also purchased Down to the Pore Strips but will review it once used :) I have combination skin and the annoying this is when my face gets oily under my make-up. I really enjoy using this product because it is refreshing and actually smells like passionfruit and green tea when it foams on your face. I have already noticed the change in the reduction of the blackheads on my face. It's amazing! My main issue is my blackheads so I am glad to be working towards getting rid of them. I'm hoping to get a toner and moisturiser from the same brand because I'm in love with the product. Right now, I am using a light Nivea toner and Oil of Olay - will review once I buy more products :D

For Australian customers, you can only purchase this from Priceline and Big W by going in store according to the website. I bought mine for $9.99 from Priceline. The online websites that I could find that sold it cheaper for $7.50 was OKme and Cincotta Chemist. US and Canadian customers can purchase this from online direct from the website here and buy it for $5.99- you will need to register behind going through check out. Other countries listed that this product is sold can be found here.

This product is part of the Bonne Bell Company and have confirmed that they do not test on animals and use plant based products on this post here. I'm glad that I found this product because I never noticed it because there has never been any major advertising for it - from what I can see.

I like sharing products people may not have had the opportunity to try, so I hope you like it.

My Favourite Eyeliner Right Now....

Right now, I am loving the Gel Eyeliners. I find that it's easy to apply, it sets very nicely and does not smudge.

It's an alternative to liquid eye liner for those who don't like or have not mastered the application with liquid liners. I feel you can still get the same effect with gel liners as you do liquid.

I have been using Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama in Black. I find that I can get a nice dramatic effect on my eyes.

I bought mine for about $15-$20(can't remember) but managed to find some stores online that sell it for $10 - Amazon, CVS Pharmacy, Drugstore.com, Bloom.com, Walgreens, Purchase Direct - just to name a few.

It's perfect to wear on it's own or if you want to make a bold statement with your eye make-up.

I think I have officially ditched all other eye liners for gel - I love it!
