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!

 

 

 

Lush - Lust Solid Perfume

So made my way to Lush  - Garden City and was enriched by all the beautiful scents that filled the store. There are so many unique flavours to the creams, body washes, soaps and perfumes!

I was in a wonderland when I went in and I've been wanting these goods for a long time but never made the purchase online.

I've got to say my best purchase was the solid perfume that I bought in "Lust". It does come in a soap which I purchased as well and spray perfume or cream but I felt that the solid perfume was compact and easy to chuck in your handbag on the go.

It is a 12g stick and smells like a fresh bouquet of flowers! The scent is so strong on application but mellows over the course of the day - I love it! You are instantly hit with jasmine, roses, sandalwood and vanilla. It's perfection.

The great thing is that it's suitable for vegans. The perfume itself is made by Gorilla Perfume who have provided this scent through Lush. Check out their website here.

This cost $7.95 which I thought was quite cheap and it's convenient packaging means you can take it anywhere! I definitely recommend this product!

Napoleon Perdis - Mauritius Peach

I bring to you Napoleon Perdis' Mauritius Peach lipgloss.

20120725-182308.jpg

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!

Hello Kitty Magnetic Gloss - Girly Lip

I've been wanting to post this for some time but it got lost in the never ending ideas for my blog.

I bring to you Hello Kitty Magnetic Gloss in Girly Lip.

20120724-175632.jpg

It is a fuchsia, shimmery lipgloss that is bold and strong in colour. Upon wearing this, I found that it did not fade nor did it feel heavy or oily. I like how this colour stands out as its quite bright but fun enough to wear during day time as well as night.

As you may or may not know, I like wearing all sorts of pink lipglosses and lipsticks. I like the Hello Kitty range which according to Beauty Heaven, is only available in Priceline in Australia! This costs $13.95 from Priceline. Sorry international peeps, the only other site I found that sold Hello Kitty make-up is Sephora.

I believe it is called magnetic gloss because of how strong the glittery parts of the gloss stand out without drawing away from the colour. For me, it really shines as the picture depicts. Shiny gloss makes your lips look amazing! I captured the lipgloss in natural light because I feel those pictures never lie.

Here is another pic I took in natural light as the other pic was taken in my car LoL

I feel that both pictures do really show the tints of the lipgloss and both pics are correct in the shade. On one hand it can be really Glittery and holochrome but on the other hand it is fuchsia and bright pink. It really depends at what angle you look at and how the gloss will shine towards you.

I like sparkly things as much as the next girl and pretty much wear this lipgloss whenever I feel like it. I think with any girl, if you find some form of make-up that you enjoy wearing then it can really make your day because you'll feel happy.

Don't under estimate the power of make-up.

Bourjois Eyeshadow & Mascara pack

As everyone knows I live in Priceline but I always go when the time is right to make my purchases.

I always check out the specials and found a Bourjois mascara and eyeshadow pack for $20.

20120723-150742.jpg

The pic is not the greatest but this was the pack it came in. Thought this was a bargain as Bourjois eyeshadow normally costs $20 and this particular mascara is approx. $16.

I couldn't figure out the shade of this eyeshadow other than it saying 08 ombre à paupières eyeshadow. It is a soft creamy gold shade and I wear it as a base or just on its own. The mascara says 10x volume and I guess you can achieve this buy adding plenty of applications. I only do a few applications and am always a sceptic when it comes to mascara and the effects they are supposed to have. Here is a pic of the two together (excuse my unplucked eyebrows):

It is a very subtle colour and for me, perfect as a base. It's a gold, creamy shimmer and you can wet the applicator to have a bolder colour.

Just wanting to share with you the products in case you are wanting to make the purchase on them :) I like the little note mentioning Bourjois' baked technology that has been used for 150 years.
