So I recently crawled out of my hole - as in, I got a day off work where I finally decided not to sleep in till dinner - and did some damage at my local shopping centre. This post only includes the beauty related products I bought, there was also a bunch of stationery, clothes and shoes hauled home on the bus too. I seriously looked like a crazy shopaholic to the bus people. Girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, y'know? Any way, products are listed in the next text section.
Essence I <3 Stage eyeshadow base
I think I might've gotten one that was already opened because there were teeny tiny telltale signs, and the product smells like paint. You have to be careful when buying stuff from the Essence section I tell ya'.
Maybelline Color Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencils in Red Essential, Berry Much, Pink So Chic & In With Coral
I loved the first three I bought so much I went back and nabbed the second last in stock of In With Coral. Win.
Nyx Retractable Lip Liner in Dark Red & Sienna
My local target doesn't stock the Nyx Lip Pencils that everyone raves about, but I love these already.
Bourjois Levres Contour Lip Liner in Sienne
Nivea In Shower Body Lotion with Honey
Emily Quak of Emily's Anthology is one of my favourite beauty bloggers ever, and she really likes the original of this so I wanted it too, naturally. And as things usually go, when I really really want something, it wasn't in stock so I went for the Honey infused one instead which admittedly sounds lovely.
Girlz Only Dry Shampoo in Hazy Days
I love this dry shampoo line! They're even better than Batiste and are a fraction of the price. ($3)
Target Brand Face Wipes and Eye Makeup Wipes
I absolutely adore the Eye Makeup Wipes and also wanted to try out the Face Wipes although so far I'm not that impressed.
Bourgois Healthy Mix Foundation in 52 and 123 Perfect CC Cream in 32
I LOVE BOURJOIS BASES AND I WILL [PROBABLY] NEVER USE ANY OTHER BASE PRODUCT AGAIN. Review coming soon :)
Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder in 53
I was going to match this with my foundation shades but 52 looked way too light so I went for the next shade up, which looked like it would be a close match.
Nyx Butter Gloss in Devil's Food Cake
I spent way too much time trying to hunt this one down last year, without results. Lo and behold there it was at the first Target I walk into this year. I love that feeling.
Chi Chi Cosmetics Viva La Diva lipstick in Corporate Femme
I love shades like this - dark red with brown and burgundy undertones - and it looks like it could be a great colour match for my all time favourite red ever, Natio's Ruby Shine which was limited edition. Ugh it's such a sexy red.
Chi Chi Cosmetics Glamorous Eyeshadow Palette in Sunkissed
I forgot to add this into my pictures but I am trying to build up my Chi Chi Shadows so I can fit them into Z Palettes. Call it a beauty goal of mine.
Australis Velour Lips Lip Cream in Doo-Bai & Buda-Pash
Liquid lipticks and I have never, ever gotten along so I'm kinda taking a $19.90 plunge here with these. I just could't resist those gorgeous vampy colours though. I mean come on, it's like Australis labelled them 'BUY ME AND LOVE ME 4EVA'.
Physiogel Calming Relief Cream
I was actually going to buy this full price but then I got a voucher, yay.
Nip + Fab Deep Cleansing Fix
I swear this was a total impulse buy. I follow Nip + Fab on Instagram and they are seriously excellent enablers/marketers/photographers. If this works amazingly I think I may be willing to fork out alotta money for this brand.
The Reject Shop Travel Container set
The Reject Shop Storage and Display Unit with Drawers
And finally, by far the most exciting purchase this month is this super great display and organisation unit which I found while browsing the aisles of The Reject Shop. The best shopping finds are the accidentally random ones really. I have literally been waiting for a unit like this to come into my life so I could move my makeup from a heavily beat up Officeworks acrylic paper organiser into it. I have also been waiting forever to really compact and clean out my makeup as I have way too much I just wasn't using. I am so excited for my next 'Makeup Storage and Organisation' post to come up.
