New Elf Purchases

So awhile back I bought two items from Nonpareil Boutique, nothing to amazing just an E.L.F Blush in Peachy Keen and a set of E.L.F Studio brushes. This is just a quick post to show you what I got.

The best thing about these brushes is that they're so soft and lovely, I like that they're all black too. The set even came with a little booklet that has a description and use for every brush. I also really like the blush, I did want Candid Coral but it was sold out so I got peachy keen instead. As you can see it doesn't show up that well on my skin tone but it will probably look nice as a highlighter or even mixed with another blush. Overall I was pretty happy with everything and the service I received, even though I thought shipping prices were a little too much.

Has anyone else used E.L.F brushes?

Review: Australis Eyeshadow Primer

So it's been a little while since I've done a review on anything, in that time I've bought a lot of stuff which I really want to do reviews on so I will hopefully get around to that soon. This review is on a new product that I picked up at target for $12.95 which isn't that expensive so I was happy to try it out. The product is 'Australis Eyeshadow Primer'. I've wanted an eye primer for ages now, and after using my sisters Urban Decay one I could really see the difference they make. Unfortunately there is nowhere to buy Urban Decay where I live so I've been looking for one that is affordable and accessible.

Here's what Australis Says:
Primer made specifically for eyelids to extend the wear of eyeshadow colour. It is an oil controlling formula with silica and eye shadow magnets, providing heavy-duty staying power that's gentle on the eye area.

Here's what I say:
Packaging: The primer comes in really cute packaging it's a metallic pink and black, which looks nice and sleek, it's also pretty lightweight which is also good if you need to carry it around in your bag. I also love the shape of it, and I'm sorry my photos don't do it justice but if you see it in real life you'll understand what I mean - two thumbs up for the packaging.

Application: The applicator for the primer is one of those sponges that you often find in lipgloss, it goes on nice and smooth and the colour is pretty much transparent when on and blends in really nicely for a smooth finish.

Does it work: I found that it worked okay, the best thing about it was the way it made my eyeliner stay dark all day, as it usually just comes off. Eyeshadow wise I don't think it made a huge difference but in saying that I didn't have a huge amount of elaborate eyeshadow on that day. I will definitely be using it again with maybe a smokey eye and see if it makes any difference to the staying power of the eyeshadow.  But for now I'd say it's great for making eyeliner stay, but I couldn't see a huge difference in the eyeshadows just yet, it is a tiny bit darker though. I will probably do an updated review on a different eyeshadow look and see if that makes any difference.

Let me know if you've tried it, or if anyone could recommend me a good affordable eye primer that would be awesome!

P.S: On my eyes I'm wearing colours from a natural Nyx Palette, Milani Liquid Eyeliner & Benefit Bad Gal Lash. Please excuse my horrible eyebrows too!

Asos Purchases

Just a quick little post as I haven't had much time lately between trying to get fit and healthy to working and  just being busy in general. I did do a little bit of online shopping yesterday though and just wanted to show you some things I bought  that I'm waiting for and I'm just a little bit too excited.
I bought all items from the ASOS clearance section, which by the way is amazing everything is such a great price and the even better part about ASOS? Free Shipping! I could have spent a lot more money but I settle for a few pieces that I 'need' (yeah right), anyway here's what I got.

So, I only ordered bottoms because I honestly don't have many of them and with spring/summer coming up I wanted some nice light colourful clothes just to wear with basic/vintage t-shirts. The watch was an add on at the end I saw it in the clearance and just had to have it, there is something about the colour of it that I really liked. Can't wait for everything to arrive, I'm currently waiting on three packages in the mail getting a little bit impatient ha ha.

Look for less: Emma Stone

So we all know colour blocking has been seen everywhere lately, I've seen some good and some not so good. I didn't think I'd ever like the combination of red and pinks but Emma Stone really pulls this off. I absolutely love the combination with her red hair and coral lips, it's such a polished look especially with the nude heels.  So I found a couple of combinations for obviously much cheaper, I wish we could all afford a pair of Louboutins!  Anyway here it is, the look for less!
