August Trash | Empties #2

There's nothing more satisfying for a beauty junkie than finishing a beauty product. When this happens emotions can range from being sad, happy, relieved to good riddance... I hope you enjoy this trash talk and leave me a comment letting me know what I will find in your trash can (:

1. Imperialis Face Moisturiser

The Lush lady gave me a sample of this when I went in for some skincare. I think it was okay, I don't remember it being amazing but then again the sample only lasted a couple of day. I wouldn't repurchase because I have a tonne of skincare waiting to be used and it's quite expensive..

2. Maybelline Express Care Eye Makeup Remover

I think this product is discontinued. I picked up a bottle for 50% off at Chemist Warehouse and then I loved it so much, I picked up 3 more. I think I still have 2 backup bottles. They replaced this with the Total Clean Eye Makeup Remover which I haven't tried yet. The two-layered products you have to shake usually works pretty well for me even with waterproof mascara.

3. Clarisonic Brush Head in Delicate

To be honest, I change my brush heads every 6 months. I use it at night only and maybe 5 nights a week. I find delicate is best for me all year round as I can use the high setting during summer and lower settings during winter where my skin is more dry and sensitive. The current brush head I have on my Clarisonic is about 2 months old and I don't think I'll be repurchasing soon as I'm trying to see if I can stop using it.

4. Face of Australia Purifying Cleansing Wipes

These really did nothing for me. To be fair I have only found one wipe which works for my face - Nivea Pure & Natural. Everything else hurts and in this case, doesn't even remove any makeup. I rarely use wipes anyway so I used these up by wiping my makeup area and swatches.

5. Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser - Normal/Combination

I absolutely LOVE Liz Earle like omg.. This was a great moisturiser, without being thick or heavy feeling, just so comfortable on the skin. I think I still have one (or two..) jars of this left so I won't need to repurchase this but definitely would when I run out.

6. Proactiv Toner

I turned to Proactiv earlier in the year when my skin was freaking it out from the move interstate.. It had worked for me when I was younger so I thought I would give it another go. The toner is probably my favourite from the core range - it's alcohol free with glycolic acid. I wouldn''t repurchase because I'm trying to have a more "natural lifestyle" but I would say don't diss Proactiv until you've tried it. True, it's not going to work for everyone (nothing does) but it has also done wonders for a lot of people and you might just possibly be one of them. (Side note: For me, Proactive cleared up my 'wide T-zone' but I still constantly battle with hormonal acne around my mouth.)

7. Ihana Powder Brushes

These shed like nobody's business and they hurt my face. I've had them for a while and I tried to make it work by washing them with a conditioner and thinking they would stop shedding after a while but nup. These have got to go.

8. Skin79 BB Cream (Hot Pink)

This has nice coverage, SPF25 and I usually use this everyday under my foundation (or alone) as a base. I won't be repurchasing this one in particular because I hear the gold one is more geared towards normal/dry skin and I also picked up the Lioele Tripe the Solution because my friend (who hates BB Creams) raved on about it.

9. Moroccanoil

I picked this up ages ago when it was all the rage.. and I totally fell into the hype. Now, I don't think it's anything special at all. Every brand has come out with this type of hair oil (including Aldi) and I find they all work (or not work) all the same. My favourite hair serum is CHI Silk Infusion before heat and Davroe Moisture Sense Argan Oil.

10. Oral-B Brush Head in Sensitive

I brush my teeth.. as I'm sure you all do. I prefer the Sensitive one but I've been using the Precision Clean lately (because it comes in a bulk pack at Costco) and it doesn't hurt my teeth or anything.

11. Lush Bubblebeard Reuseable Bubble Bar

This is a limited edition Christmas product and I got about 3 uses out of this. It's white and it comes in the shape of a beard/moustache. The scent is pleasant but not overly sweet like floral or fruity.

Don't forget to let me know what you've finished up lately. Thanks for reading!

5 Friday Faves #1

It's Friday, YAY, and welcome to my first ever 5 Friday Favourites! I've been all alone by my lonesome self this week so I have had a bit more time to pamper myself (because I'm not cleaning up after an almost full grown man). You'll notice there are only four products in the photo because the fifth is a virtual favourite aka blogger, youtuber, tv show etc. Hope you enjoy. Let me know your favourites in the comments below!

1. Vice & Velvet Handmade Body Mousse in Blushing Phoenix

{I won this product from a V&V giveaway - lucky me ;)}

This body mousse smells and feels amazing.. The mousse is feels very light and blends well on the skin. I thought this tub was going to go so quickly but it's actually lasted quite a while. I'm so bad at describing scents so from the website: "An exquisite blend of fresh lychee pulp, sweetened oolong tea and palmarosa syrup, emboldened with a drop of aged vetiver." YUM (:

2. Cococare 100% Coconut Oil

I picked this up from iHerb a while ago. I personally wouldn't repurchase this one as I found one at Costco that I can eat as well as use externally. So I have been loving coconut oil in general (not this one in particular). I use it as a night eye cream, eyelash serum, hair mask, teaspoon in my daily morning english breakfast tea, cook with it. There are so many other uses for coconut oil that I haven't explored yet.

3. Lush's Ro's Argan Body Conditioner

OMG the smell. If you love the smell of roses you will love this.. even if you don't you will love this. I actually use this as a body lotion. So after I step out of the shower, I will gently pat myself dry and apply the 'conditioner' onto slightly damp skin. The scent lasts all night and onto the next day you will catch whiffs of it. It'll even make your clothes smell amazing if you get dressed straight away.

4. Vera Wang Princess

{This is a tester I received when I used to work at duty free}

This is a winter fragrance for me. "The scent sparkles with the captivating, sweet, tart aroma of delicate lady apples and the coveted tahitian tiare flower and finishes with a tasty vanilla chiffon" says the Vera Wang Frangrances website.. whatever that means. It smells a little bit fruity and floral but the vanilla adds depth and warmth. Usually not the biggest fan on vanilla but with the apple and flower, just smells special.

5. Kitsch Snitch

I have been watching her videos and following her blog for a while now but I found out about the Balm deal at DJs from her so I just want to give her a shout out. She's from Melbourne and her videos are so relaxed, they're great.

Hope you've enjoyed by first 5 Friday Favourites. I'd love to know what you've been enjoying lately. If you have any product suggestions or full review requests, leave me a comment below. Have a great weekend!

Revlon for Liptember // Hump Day Haul

Today, we are hauling for a great cause. Revlon released four lipsticks for Liptember, with proceeds going to the Centre for Women's Mental Health and Lifeline. They are available at Chemist Warehouse, My Chemist and My Beauty Spot for only $9.99 a pop!

I picked up two colours in - Liptember Pink (Rose Apres-Dimi) (left) and Liptember Red (Rouge Adore) (right). They also had a Coral and Shimmery Purple shade which were pretty but not something I would wear. Liptember also released their own lipsticks in crazy fun bright colours.

Liptember aims to raise awareness and funds for women's mental health issues. You can sponsor me at: bit.ly/pbliptember  or register on liptember.com.au to take part yourself!

I love it when I can help a good cause and have some retail therapy at the same time. I'd love to know what you've purchased lately!

Bright Pink Lip Combo // Makeup Monday #3

Today I want to share with you a bright pink lipliner and lipstick combo that I have been enjoying. I know you're supposed to wear subdued / deeper colours in winter but since I don't have much time in the mornings to do anything fancy with the eyes, I like to make my lips pop a bit more so I'm not all bland. Love to know your favourite lip colour of the moment. Hope you enjoy!

| L.A. Colors AL569 Fiery Red Auto Lipliner
It's not the best lipliner in terms of longevity but you will still see colour after a meal. It is just ever so much deeper than the lipstick and provides a nice base. It's also great that you don't have to sharpen it and it's currently US$1.50 on CherryCulture!
| Bourjois Sweet Kiss Lipstick in 57 Fuchsia Class
This is definitely a lipstick that you need lipliner with because it is quite hard to apply precisely (unless of course you use a lip brush but who has time for that :p). It's a super pretty fuchsia pink colour as the name suggests and the staying power isn't great but it is moisturising and doesn't dry out my lips at all.

Swatches
| LA Colors Fiery Red + Bourjois Fuchsia Class (You can see the lipliner adds a touch of red to the lipstick)
| LA Colors Fiery Red
| Bourjois Fuchsia Class
| LA Colors Fiery Red right next to Bourjois Fuchsia Class

Top: LA Colors Fiery Red (More red than pink)

Bottom: LA Colors Fiery Red + Bourjois Fuchsia Class (More pink than red)

The Lipstick Tag // Makeup Monday #2

This tag was originally created by Maxi from The Lipstick Blog. Hope you enjoy !

How many lipsticks do you own?

120.. and they're just the ones in Melbourne that I can find (not including glosses, balms, pencils or liners). I brought the large majority of my lipstick collection with me when I moved but I know there are a few left in Sydney and a few hiding in bags somewhere..

First ever lipstick - Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick in Jive

What was your first ever lipstick?

I remember so clearly going to Priceline in high school and buying the Australis Colour Inject Mineral lipstick in Jive. First ever lipstick I loved and bought a backup for.

What is your most worn lipstick?

It's probably Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Pink Please. It's not my favourite lipstick in the world but it's so easy to wear. Literally goes with everything and somehow it always ends up on my lips because it's always just sitting in a convenient place.

Favourite lipstick brand - NYX - Shown here is a selection of colours from my Black Label + Round Lipstick collection

What is your favourite brand for lipstick?

Definitely NYX. They're Black Label Lipstick are AMAZING and they're Round Lipstick aren't so bad either. Not to mention they're lip glosses and tinted lip products are also amazeballs.

What is your favourite finish?

Definitely cream. Can't stand a frost. Will sometimes go for the odd matte look.

What was the last lip product you bought?

Haven't shopped in a while..(for lips).. I think I bought the Bourjois Sweet Kiss 57 Fuchsia Class at the Priceline 40% Off sale.

How many lip products do you currently have in your handbag? (Including balms and glosses)

Only 4. I've been very good (something burst in my bag from cabin pressure so I just cleaned it out). A random lip balm - Maybelline Baby Lips Color in Berry Crush - MUA Lipboom in Cheeky - Milani Buzz Worthy Lipgloss in 03 Bee Rich.

What lipstick do you use to rock a red lip?

TBH I rarely rock a red lip but when I just recently picked up this red lip combo - Essence Lipliner in 10 Femme Fatale and Lipstick in 48 Red Carpet

My lipstick collection (in Melbourne) + storage

How do you store your lipsticks?

In a big clear acrylic container from IKEA. I don't think they sell it anymore but it has three sections and a detachable you can use to hold brushes (because it's supposed to hold ALL your makeup). I don't use the detachable bit, but I place all my pink/coral/peach lipsticks and a container full of lip liners into the big section (half); nude/berry/red lipsticks in a smaller section and tinted lip balm types in another smaller section. I used to be able to fit all my lipglosses in there as well.. but unfortunately no more. They have been migrated to an apple container .. i.e. the container that you get when you buy apples..

What lip products are you currently lusting after?

Chanel Rouge Allures - yes the clicky ones. Can never have too many Dior Lipsticks.. and I'd like a few MAC ones too. I think I only have two lipsticks and two lipglosses at the moment.

I tag everyone to do this! If you blog or make videos leave a link and if you don't just answer the question in the comments below.

This was a fun tag and I'm not ashamed of how many lip products I have and you shouldn't be either - whether you have 2 or 200 ! (:
