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

HUGE Collective Haul ♡

I've been shopping again ...
I need professional help

  ♡ MAKEUP ♡

♡ Eyes ♡

Miki - Smoky Blacks.
I found these eyeshadows very powdery but they blended out very beautifully and are super duper pigmented. They last really well if you put something underneath them as a base. They also have a super cheap price tag which makes me a very happy chappy haha :)

Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit - 03 Dark
Well pigmented, long lasting, great colour, overall fantastic. I find this suuuper duper easy to use and it's my current go-to eyebrow product.

Maybelline Eyestudio - Brown
Very well pigmented, lasts extremely well, has a semi matte finish and was quite easy to apply and blended out super well and all that good stuff. If you're on the hunt for a brown eyeliner I highly recommend this :) 

Sorry for the change of background, not quite sure what
happened here haha 

Loreál Colour Infallible - 036 Naughty Strawberry & 031 Innocent Turquoise
These eyeshadows are heavily raved about on Youtube and the interwebs and well so because they are incredible! They're soooo pigmented and they're super duper easy to blend. They leave a kind of satin finish on the eyes. They look so pretty and they're so gorgeous and ahhh - they're amazing! The only thing that some people might think is a negative is the smell (if you have some of these, you know exactly what I mean). But they're on your eyeballs so it doesn't make much of a difference anyway haha :P 

Loreál 16hr Infallible Eyeliner - Black

This eyeliner is my new favourite. It's super duper creamy and glides on like an absolute dream. It's really pigmented and as the name suggests, it lasts a long time as well and doesn't vanish after an hour like my Maybelline one. I'm not sure what the white thing on the other end of it's for ... if you know let me know in the comments! :)

♡ Lips ♡

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balmstain -005 Crush Begun
This balmstain is glossy, decently pigmented, ridiculously easy to apply because of the pen format of the stick, doesn't really taste of anything and long lasting cus it stains your lips once it starts to wear off. Possibly the only flaw is the smell. But the quality of the actual product makes the smell worth putting up with. 

Loreál Colour Riche - 250 Make me Blush
This lipstick smells like candy and heaven. Sometimes I just sit down and sniff it, it smells SO GOOD! It's also very very pigmented and creamy and lasts for a fairly decent times and is almost matte on the lips. I'm also obsessed with the colour and it's perfect for everything.

Loreál Colour Riche Runway Collection - 680 The Muses Kiss

This has the same scent but not as strong, but has the exact same formula as the lipstick above ^^ Much love for this lipstick <3 

Maybelline Colour Whisper - 290 Strike a Rose & 305 Red Around Town
These are quite sheer as the name would suggest so it just depends what you're after. They're glossy and last well and smell delicious :)

Maybelline Colour Sensational (Limited Editon, sorry!) - 1000 Lavender Voltage
This is semi-matte but crazy pigmented! It also lasts ages and even though it's not very creamy it's not uncomfortable to put on or wear at all. It also doesn't have a distinct taste or smell and I would highly recommend these if you're into bolder colours :) Out of all the lipsticks this one is the most drying though, but it's not a problem if you put a chapstick on first :)

♡ Nails ♡

Revlon Colourstay - 310 Vintage Rose 

Revlon nailpolishes are my favourite so when I saw this new shade I instantly grabbed it. I was not dissapointed. Pigmented, glossy, long lasting, easy to apply, quick drying just greatness.

Sally Hansen Sugar Coat - 600 Sour Apple

These might be my new obsession. Super fast drying, pigmented, matte and the coolest thing about these is that once they dry they feel like sugar!

Revlon - Temptress 168

This is the perfected Barbie pink colour! I wasn't ready for how pigmented this is, you can leave it at one coat, it's that crazy. Again, last very well but I did find it took a little bit longer to dry and less glossy than the Colourstays but still love it! :)

NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel - 152 Tudor City Teal

This isn't as long wearing as I expected it to be, it chipped quite quicky. Dries fairly quickly, less pigmented than the Revlon or Sally Hansen but it's still fairly decent. But if you're patient and careful enough the colours really pretty and fairly glossy :)

♡ Beauty ♡

Aveeno Postively Radiant Intensive Night 

I've only used this a few times but I can already tell I'm gonna love it. It's very liquidy and sinks in immediately. I also wake up with super soft skin and I'm already in love with it. New staple alert ...

Number 7 Lift and Illuminate Eye Cream

Another product that I've only used a few times, it's a creamy consistency but sinks in real quick. I haven't noticed anything yet using this, but I'll keep you guys updated :)

 ♡ Clothing ♡

 I made another order on Boohoo and I got this swing dress, I don't think there's any left now though (sorry again..) This is the same style dress as one I bought last time and I'm in love with it. It's super duper nice fabric and flows sooo beautifully and twirls when you spin around. It also fits me perfectly and it's super cute and great to throw on for a day out :)

I also got another dress (well, playsuit actually) and I was completely obsessed with it and wore it everyday for maybe a week after receiving it which maybe was the reason why I stained it. I still have photos of the playsuit but it has stains on it so I didn't include them. The fabric was thin but opaque and soft and comfy and perfect and I got in grey so it was perfect for everyday wear and it was perfect in every way. And then I stained it. Ah, the struggle :(

If you guys have read all of this then hats off to you sir, well done.
Sorry for all the word vomit, there was just so much stuff haha :P 

Give me requests for what you'd like to see next from me! Thanks xx

Ciao xx

Lush Haul ♡

Here's some awesome goodies I picked up from Lush a while ago 

Note : I bought these items 2 months ago before their christmas collection came out so that's why there's none of them in here, otherwise I would've had a much larger splurge haha

That heart isn't a lush product by the way, it was just something I put there haha :)

♥ You've Been Mangoed Bath Melt. I got this cus I had never tried a lush bath melt and I was really intrigued by them. This bath melt is definitely not one for night time, it smells like lime and lemon grass and it's very refreshing. I used it in a morning bath and it smelt soooo good and definitely left my skin feeling super soft :) 

♥ Sunny Side Bubble Bar. This is also a citrussy one and it makes heaps and heaps of bubbles. I found this super refreshing and it makes your bath water go sparkly golden orange so it's quite a messy one as it'll leave glitter around your bath haha. 

♥ Sex Bomb Bath Bomb. Haha yes, it's a funny name but don't let this fool you. This bomb is incredible. It turns the water pink and smells like absolute heaven. It smells like roses and something else I can't quite put my finger on. It's one of my all time favourites from lush

♥ Creamy Candy Bubble Bar. This has to be my favourite scent from lush. As the name suggests, it smells like creamy candy. It's delicious and I've been tempted to eat it on more than one occasion. It also has shea butter chunks in it so it's super duper moisturising as well 

♥ Space Girl Bath Bomb. I've done a whole blog post about this with photos of the bomb in water and stuff, this is a close second favourite to Sex Bomb. It smells like blackcurrants and leaves your bath water looking incredible. Ugh I love this bomb soooo much

Hope this makes you guys wanna go into Lush and pick up a few goodies now haha :) Let me know what your favourites are in the comments! 

Ciao xx

Huge Drugstore Makeup Haul ♡

Surprise surprise, it's another haul. This is quite a biggun so bear with me here haha. This was not purchased all in one go, this is everything I've bought since my last makeup haul ... yeah, I know I know, I just ... I need help. 
________________________________________________________________________

♥ face ♥

♥ I'll start with BB creams. I got this one from Garnier which I also featured in my July favourites*. I loooove this so much haha.

♥ I also picked up another Collection concealer in Warm-medium 3 which is also in my July favourites.* 
♥ I also got the Rimmel stay matte powder. This is perfect for keeping your makeup on your face all day. I highly highly recommend this, I have mine in 001 transparent so it's perfect for all skin tones.
♥ Next is foundations. I wanted something that would be very light on my skin that would just make my skin look a little bit better without being heavy so I picked up the Revlon Nearly Naked. Once again, I have two because the first one I bought in 150 Nude was WAY too dark and made my face look orange. So I went back and got the one in 120 Vanilla which is perfect for my skintone. They're amazing foundations if you want something that's very light.
________________________________________________________________________

♥ eyes ♥

♥ I picked up a Nyx jumbo eye pencil in 614 Lavender. These fade a bit on me, but the colours are gorgeous and for the price they're quite good. And they have a maaaassive range of colours :)
♥ I got two Revlon eyeshadow palettes. First one is 010 Sweet innocence and I really freaking love this! It's nicely pigmented and lasts a long time on my lids and doesn't crease. It has six different colours which are all fairly neutral except for one dark purple and I've just found this very very handy. The other one I got was 585 Sea mist. They're both super good quality :)
♥ I also finally hopped onto the band wagon and got a Wet n Wild trio palette. I got the one called Walking on Eggshells in 380 and oh my goodness, this is SOOO GOOD! It's so pigmented and buttery and extremely velvety and easy to blend and lasts ages and doesn't fade or crease and wow. It's so incredible, and it's also really really cheap! If you haven't tried these yet then what are you waiting for!
♥ I also got a Revlon Lash potion mascara. I got this mostly because I was attracted to the packaging haha, it's a decent mascara, there's not much to say about it. It does the job and makes my eyelashes black :)

________________________________________________________________________

♥ lips ♥

♥ I got two of the Revlon matte balms (never one to miss a trend), one in 205 Elusive which is a beautiful slightly medium pinky shade, and one in 230 Complex which is a browny- orangy nude. I really like these chubby stick things, they last a decent amount of time and the colour payoff from these is soooo good! They're also super creamy and not drying at all considering they're a matte balm. I really highly recommend these :)

From left : Revlon 205 Elusive, Revlon 230 Elusive, Nyx Pure
Red, Revlon Juicy Papaya, Revlon 820 Pink Cognito

♥ I also got two more lipsticks from Revlon (whoops). I got the Revlon lip butter in 027 Juicy papaya which is a gorgeous coral orangey peachy pink colour. These are so super moisturising and they're quite sheer, I'd say they're halfway between a lipstick and a lipbalm but I've just really been liking it and their colour selection is huge and you have to go and try one haha :)
♥ I also got a Revlon super lustrous lipstick in 820 Pink cognito. It's a pink with slight golden shimmer in it, but it's very very sheer.
♥ Last but not least I got a Nyx matte lipstick in Pure red. It's a beautiful cherry red colour and they have heaaaps of different colours to choose from. The pigmentation in these is INSANE. They last super long on my lips and like the Revlon matte balms are not drying in the slightest even though they're matte. I just really really like this and I have to look into getting more of them :) 

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul and

hope I've helped in some way and that I didn't buy too much ... I'm sure I'm not the only one that buys a ridiculous amount of makeup. Right? *nervous giggle*

Ciao xx

Boohoo Clothing Haul ♡

Hi everyone! :) 

For those of you that don't know, Boohoo is an online clothing store and they're got some amazing clothing are pretty reasonable prices. They had a sale for 25% off of dresses, so I decided to buy a few things.
I ordered these on the 25th of June and they arrived on the 9th. This was a bit more than two weeks but considering New Zealand is in the middle of nowhere, this was pretty reasonable shipping time. 

I was quite happy overall with the things I received, and would definitely buy more things from them :)
_________________________________________________________________

Jen Tartan Print Collar
Smock dress - size 6

First thing I got was this dress, which I was most excited to receive. It's a red tartan smock dress. It's got a small black collar at the top which I think is super cute. I am 157cm tall, or 5ft1. I am actually quite short for my age, but I found that this dress still fit me quite well, and it would also look gorgeous if you're taller. The fabric is lovely and it's very comfortable. I wore it with some black tights, and boots.

 _________________________________________________________________________________

Cosette Teired Pleated
Babydoll dress - size 8

Next thing I got was this this dress, it's white and pleated. This dress is not opaque so you'd have to wear a cami underneath it so that your bits and bobs don't show. Other than that, the fabric feels lovely and it's quite comfy and very very pretty if you were tall enough for it :) The dress came half way between my knee on me. It's quite big, so I suggest buying one a size smaller than your usual size. I wore it with a heart shaped necklace and red Vans.

 ________________________________________________________________

Jess Club Swing dress
Size - 8

Last dress I got is my favourite out of all the dresses and it's a grey swing dress with dark grey specs. It's tight around the top and then it fans out as it goes along and it hangs beautifully at the bottom. Another thing I love about this is that when you spin, the dress twirls and does all that fancy stuff and it looks sooo pretty! I tried to take a photo of it spinning and it didn't work out but I promise it does spin! :) One thing that is problematic is that it is very sheer fabric, so you'd have to wear a cami and maybe nude coloured undies or else it will definitely show and you don't want that or else you'll just look silly haha. But otherwise, the fabric is comfy and soft and I love it :) I wore it with plain white socks and limited edition white Converse with little pink polka dots on them.

 ________________________________________________________________

Holly Slash Neck Oversized
Tee - Size 6

This is probably my favourite purchase out of everything even though it's simple. It's a baggy white top and it hangs off your shoulder, and I don't have anything like this in my wardrobe. It's such soft nice fabric. It's not sheer fabric, although I'd still wear a cami underneath just incase. It's got tiny rips in the side and it's not too long or short, it's just perfect. It's so simple and easy to wear and I'm so happy I finally have this in my wardrobe :) I wore it with colourful leggings from Supré and cream flats from L.K Bennett. 

_________________________________________________________________________________

Tiaami Ombre Printed
Leggings - Size 8

I'm addicted to leggings, I actually think I have a slight problem. Apart from sweatpants, they're like the only thing I wear. I love leggings that are unique, like ones with pretty patterns on them and these caught my eye and I instantly added them to my basket. They fit me really really nicely and they're a really nice length and I think if you were taller they'd fit you as well :) They're not the same fabric as typical leggings but they are still comfy and still do stretch. I think this would look great with a simple top, like the white one I got. Here I'm wearing it with a white cami and my red Vans again. I was also wearing a silver owl necklace from Forever 21 but I forgot to take a photo of it haha ;)

_________________________________________________________________________________

Janey Fur Trim Lace Up Boots - UK
size 3

Last but not least I got these boots which are absolutely adorable. They're black with fur on the inside and coming out the top as well. They're so so comfy and warm and I love love love them. I wore them yesterday and they're soooo comfy. They also look super duper cute! The UK size 3 is a NZ size 5, and I am a NZ size 3 so I was worried that they'd be too big for me, but they still fit all right with plenty of room left :) I wore these with a long, white knit and black leggings ... yes, leggings again.

The clothes at Boohoo are still on sale so you can still go and grab some while you can :)
