Bit of fashion...

Something a bit different but I had to share my obsession with Lonely Lingerie by Lonely Hearts Label. 

I've purchased bra's from these guys since late 2013 and just omg. So nice 🙏🏻 

Their latest collection is so lovely and sexy but so comfortable for everyday wear. 

Check them out online :) you wont be disappointed!

Blush Collection!

Blush is such a glorious thing. It brings your skin back from zombae to healthy human once more. 
This is most of my collection of blushes at it ranges from drugstore to high end. 
Here's a swatch comparison of all of them :) 
My day to day absolute favourites are Clinique's Plum Pop and Tarte's Achiote. These are both powder blushes. 

My favourite cream blush has to be Nyx's  Glow. The colour is so gorgeous and is very buildable. It blends so easily into the skin and is just the perfect shade for that oh so natural flush. 

If I'm after a big kick of colour there are a few options i go with. Generally - non glittery blushes are my favourite. 
Nars dual intensity blush in Adoration is so gorgeous and swatches so damn well. Probably the most pigmented out of my collection. 
If I am looking for that sparkley flush I will go with Nars Orgasm (not featured in image). 

These are just a collection of some of my faves, what are yours?

Jeffree Star

Hey Guys! 
Long time no post...i know, i know i suck! However...now that I've finally settled into my second uni degree and my new apartment everything is back up and normal!
So I thought today I'd start with two newly released colours of Liquid Lipstick by Jeffree Star called Posh Spice and Blow Pony. 
Some colour swatches :)
                    

Now i know these colours are quite similar to earlier colours he's released - but! They are significantly different :) as shown here. From top to bottom we have; celebrity skin, posh spice, i'm royalty and blow pony. 

                

Celebrity skin is a much more pinky/peachy nude colour and significantly darker. Whereas Posh Spice is much more a natural light brown nude. 

Blow Pony and I'm Royalty are both purples obviously - blow pony is a much more pastel light purple. Which i feel is a much more daring, fun colour rather than a deep purple like I'm royalty or even Pansy by Limecrime. 

The formula for both of these are exactly the same as his earlier ones, much more of a creamy mousse as opposed to a much more liquid. They do take a bit longer to dry matte in my opinion, but it doesn't settle into little lip lines and doesn't dry out your lips too badly. 


Hope you're all well!

Lush Limited Editions

So recently Lush re-released some limited editions from last year again for a limited time. Due to stocking up like a mofo I still have a few bottles of things however, I decided to snap up some other things to give them a go! 
So in this magical box of gorgeous smells we have a few different things, all of which I've had a chance now to use and give a full review :) 

So White is a glorious shower gel that has one of those scents I remember from my childhood...but I'm not sure why or where from. It's very frustrating haha. But it's so lovely, really creamy and leaves you smelling very lovely. 

Next up we have the one I stocked up on the most of. Lord of Misrule bath bomb. I've never tried it before this purchase and I've heard so many wonderful things about it. Most of the comments on it were along the lines of "I wish I stocked up" so I decided to buy 5. Boy, am I glad I did!! The smell is divine, the way your body feels after...so sexual haha. 

Next is the candy mountain bubble bar! This little wonder is used to make your bath a bubble bath! It smells the exact same as snow fairy, a really pretty sweet girly scent - which I usually hate but I love this one!

Golden wonder up next and this bath bomb scent is so glorious. The product description tells us that it's a champagne-like fragrance of sweet orange oil, cognac oil and lime oil. 

Blackberry Bath Bomb. Pretty self explanatory right there. So pretty, utterly obsessive with the scent. This is a regular purchase and always leaves me feeling so relaxed and smelling so divine!

Twilight Bath Bomb lavender, ylang ylang and ovaltine. This was a new one for me and I'm glad I tried it out. I love the smell of lavender, I recently got a LaVanilla roller ball perfume which is a combo of vanilla and lavender. And it smells very similar. A dusty lavender scent! 

Bath bombs are a really inexpensive way to relax once...maybe twice a week averaging around $7Aud it's pretty decent :) 
What are your favourite bath bombs?

Ultra Matte Lip by Colourpop

Liquid lipstick collection grows by the week I swear to Jesus. This week my Colourpop order with my bestie Shannon finally arrived for their launch of liquid to matte lipsticks. 



Colour wise I didn't venture far from my favourites, purples and browny vampy colours. 
I got Lychee, Zipper and Tulle. 

Lychee is a gorgeous light purple. 
Zipper is a deeper purple. 
Tulle is a browny nude. 

Formula wise it's pretty decent. There is no scent to it and I find it quite liquid and takes a while to dry. But once it does the finish is very similar to Limecrime, probably quite drying on the lips and would settle into cracks. So use a good lip liner or moisturiser! 

Price point is amazing so any fault makes you kinda look over that. They're $6 USD so depending on the day they're around $10AUD. 

Would I purchase more? Quite possibly. I'm gonna wear the heck out of these for the next few weeks and see how they wear. If they're awesome I'll probably get a few more in slightly more adventurous colours :)

They're Real! I swear ;)

Benefit has launched more colours of they're real push up liner. Green, purple, blue and brown. 
I purchased the green, purple and blue - the brown looked like poop in my opinion :/ didn't want to be smearing poop over my eyelids! 
Here's the packaging from the outside

And the standard packaging with a colour twist on the top so you can distinguish between each one. This is a very handy feature. 

Now these are similar in all the packaging ways but the formula is slightly different from the original black - and each colour varies as well. 
I've personally found the blue and purple quite creamy and dry very nicely, whereas the green isn't as creamy and dries patchy and looks crumpled? Like when you put glue onto your hand and then stretch it out and relax. Weird crackly effect. 

The colours are really lovely and muted which makes them super every day wear friendly. Removal wise you do need an oil based remover as typical makeup wipes or mircellar water take much longer and lots of rubbing required. 

Price wise they're pretty expensive...but I really like them. Would I repurchase? Only my favourite one out of the three - which is purple by the way!

Hope you're all doing swell and enjoying all the newest makeup launches for the season!

Hectic month!

Apologies for the lack of posting guys! I got accepted into a new degree and I've been super busy with work over the past month so my reviewing skills went down the tubes. 
I have so many new products to share with you guys that I've collected and OMG I just can't wait to begin. 
I'm going to try and create a schedule to post two reviews/comparison posts a week on both high end as well as drug store :) 

Hope you've all been swell!
