Zoeva Rose Gold Brush Set - Review ♡

left to right
106/Powder, 102/Silk Finish, 112/Luxe Sheer Cheek, 110/Face Shape, 142/Concealer Buffer, 222/Luxe Soft Definer, 231/Luxe Petit Crease, 317/Wing Liner
After hearing so much hype from everyone everywhere about these brushes, and after wanting them for about two years, I finally bought them! :D 

I got these brushes about maybe two months ago and I've been using them every single time I've put makeup on. Not just to test them out but because I am actually obsessed with them.
I got them from the Zoeva website. The shipping and handling was great, I got them within a week I think and they came in a big box with lots of padding so there was no damage at all. The brushes themselves were all wrapped individually and they were put inside of the brown Zoeva bag that you get. The brown bag you get is really nicely sized and the material is beautiful and would be perfect if you wanted to take your brushes somewhere with you.

All the brushes in this set are absolutely gorgeous, there's 8 in the set and each one of them has a matte black handle with a stunning rose gold barrel, ugh they're so pretty. I love these not just because they look adorable on my vanity but also because they're actually such amazing quality. They're all soooo incredibly soft *drools*. They're not incredibly soft to begin with but I found that the more you use them the softer they get. I've used them heaps and washed them heaps and none of them have stained or shed.
To begin with I found that the three luxe brushes were the scratchiest, I presume it's because they're made from natural hair. But after washing them and using them they got softer and softer so I guess this set of brushes needs a bit of breaking in haha.

I think these brushes are really really reasonably priced and they look super duper stunning, and they're all really soft and just absolutely incredible quality. These have been my new favourite brushes for a while, if I could I would definitely marry them <3

PS. They're dirty in the first photo but they're brand new in the second one so you can see how they wear out and stuff. After washing them they always look brand new though! :)

Have any of you guys tried these brushes? Let me know your thoughts!

Lipstick Splurge ♡


Rimmel Kate Moss in 106 - I've had other Rimmel lipsticks previously and the Kate Moss collection has always been my absolute favourite. They're so incredibly pigmented and glide on really nicely and they don't dry your lips out either! Their formula is just incredible and they stain your lips slighty as well so they last really well. I even love the smell of them!
Loréal Colour Riche in 600 Doutzen's Nude (Privee by Doutzen collection) and 286 The Queen's Kiss (Project Runway collection) - Firstly, these lipsticks smell so good. Best. Smelling. Lipsticks. Ever. I love the two colour I picked up in these, one's more of a nude and the other ones a berry purple colour that would look really nice in the colder months. These lipsticks are have a glossy finish and are decently pigmented, they're also super buttery and moisturising as well. 

__________________________________________

Maybelline Colour Drama in 630 Nude Perfection and 510 Red Essential - These lip pencils are a new release from Maybelline and there's been a lot of hype about them going around, and rightly so! They're sooooo creamy and easy to apply. They're also really pigmented and last really well too. I can't really fault these, they're just stunning. I picked up two, one's a dark berry red and the other one is a stunning Kylie Jenner esque nude colour.
__________________________________________

Rimmel Apocalips in 501 Stellar - I have no idea why I've not heard so much hype about these lip laquers cus dangggg, this impressed me sooo much! The colour I picked up in this is a gorgeous bright neon fuschia. It's so incredibly pigmented, it's unbelievable, definitely one of the most pigmented things I have ever used, I was so blown away by this. Despite being so pigmented it's super easy to apply with the doe foot applicator. It has a very glossy finish but it lasts really well as well. If you've not yet tried these I would highly recommend trying one out! 

I definitely don't need to buy any more lipsticks for a while now (although we all know I probably will haha). Thanks for reading, ciao! x

Drugstore Makeup Hurl ♡


♥︎ Face ♥︎

Rimmel Wake Me up in 030 Classic Beige - This concealer has very quickly become one of my favourites. It's not crazy high coverage like the Collection lasting perfection, I'd say it's around medium coverage but it blends out very very easily and is very dewy and looks extremely natural under your eyes. It's also the first concealer I've ever used that has actually matched my skin tone, so if you have light yellow undertoned skin like me, this is perfect!

Maybelline Fit-Me in Medium Pink - This blush is well pigmented, blends well and gives a nice flush of colour. The colour I have in this is also perfect for those of you going into spring and summer.

Rimmel Stay Matte in 001 Transparent - This was a repurchase from me as my other one was not only almost used up, but also completely ruined as I dropped it on the floor and it smashed (oops). This powder is my holy grail, it's very finely milled and doesn't look cakey, it keeps me matte for the school day without needing to top up and it even smells delicious haha :)


♥︎ Eyes ♥︎

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 05 Too Cool and 55 Inked in Pink - I've had colour tattoos before and I've loved them so I decided to get more. They're great as a base under other colours, or even on their own. They last for ages as the name would suggest, are easy to work with and blend and the colours are absolutely stunning 

NYC Trio Eyeshadow in 781 Long Beach Sands - All the colours in this trio are shimmery, and they're super pigmented, I have found that they are however slightly powdery but it's nothing that you can't work with with some good tools

Art Deco single eyeshadows in 554 and 530 - Both shades I've picked up are mattes and they're both super pigmented and easy to blend and buttery and all that good stuff. I can't really fault them, they're brilliant. Their casing is also magnetic so you can stick them into Z palettes. 


LA.Girl Glide Gel Liner in very black - This glides on without any tugging or problems and it's crazy pigmented. I bought it mainly cus it says it's a gel which made me think that it would last in my tightline and waterline much longer, and I'm not sure if it's a placebo or not but I'm pretty sure that it lasts longer than any of the other eyeliners I've tried putting in my waterline haha 

Kingdom Liquid Eyeliner - My mom bought me this from Japan and it's pen shape makes it super easy to work with. The liner flows out soooo well and it applies super easily as well. It's one of the easiest liquid liners I've ever used, I'd highly recommend this and I'm gonna be very sad when it runs out :( 


Have you guys tried any of these? Let me know your thoughts!

End of Summer Clothing Haul ♡

I recently found these photos of a clothing haul from around December that I was meant to a blog post on but must've forgotten to haha, so here they are, 4 months later :P


 
These playsuits are both from Boohoo and I got them for $12 each I believe. They're both a similar style, they have a low back and a v-neck at the front. They're both super duper flowly and loose and are made out of the comfiest material ever! I've worn these out heaps and they're just so comfy and easy to wear. The top one is plain black and the bottom one is white with little strawberries on it. Both are in size 6.

 With the strawberry playsuit, I'm also wearing my white cardigan which is from Glassons and I believe they're still selling them. 

(PS. Sorry for the photo quality on the second strawberry playsuit photo!) 
_____________________________________________________

 As you can see, I have an ever so slight playsuit obsession. This one I got from Supré and it's a simple grey playsuit with a wrap at the front. It comes in slightly around the waist but is still quite loose and comfy. I thought it would look really over a bikini or to go to the beach with (not that I ever go to the beach, but one can dream haha)








This shirt I got for my mom since we're both unhealthily obsessed with the Big Bang Theory, but it was so cute I just had to put it on here. I tied it up on the side since it was really big on me and I wore them with my ripped shorts that I got ages ago from Supré, and the shirt is from Jayjays









This dress was from Factorie and it's a skater dress so it hugs your top half and then flares out. It's light blue with little white flowers on them and I just thought that it was soooo cute. This dress also looks great with the cardigan that I got. I don't know why I'm covering my body so much in this photo, so sorry that you can't really see anything haha :/
I'm wearing this dress with a flower crown that I picked up from Jayjays 







Here's a more close up photo of the flower crown, I am absolutely obsessed with it. It has little leaves and white flowers it fits perfectly. I have an absolutely tiny little pea head but I've found that most of the headbands from Jayjays fit me really really well, so if you have a little pea head like me go to Jayjays to look for some stuff, I find they fit super well :)








 So um actually, I splurged again on clothes last week since me and my two best friends went shopping together so I have another clothing haul coming up very soon, but I stumbled upon these photos the other day so I decided to put these up first haha. Whoops. 

Ciao
