Hello Hello!
Tonight I thought I'd discuss something that every person who uses beauty products should know.
Make-up expiry inparticular is a very important thing to be aware of. Obviously, as we use them on our face, lips and eyes if we don't swap our products out and use them longer than we should, it could cause infection and spread a lot of germs and bacteria that we have on our face etc.
Something handy that I found out a while ago is there is a little symbol on most products that tells you how long they last for. Obviously, there are some products that you need to throw out more frequently like Mascara.
Look out for the symbol as shown below on your products and that is a good guide for you on how long you should use them for. Whether it be 3Months (3M), 6Months (6M), 12Months (12M) you should really abide by these guideline.
If you have any questions regarding this feel free to ask!.

I hope everyone is having/had a great weekend!
Tonight I'm going to talk about my favourite nail polish at the moment! I originally found a picture of this colour on pinterest (gosh it is addictive) and thought I NEEDED this colour! I am so obsessed with the corals and bright colours lately!! I found the colour at my local beauty supplies store - Salon supplies & furniture at Underwood.
The colour is called Flip Flop Fantasty and it is a hot pink/corally colour (the picture doesn't give it complete justice). I have gotten so many compliments on it!. The formula is pretty good, I only needed 2 coats and looks perfect. I found it has chipped pretty easily but I do have thin nails and unfortunately cannot control them chipping sometimes (oh wouldn't it make life easier?). I bought this one for about $9.00 but I get a discount from being in the industry.
If you're wanting a bright fun colour this definitely is the colour for you - plus they have many many more amazing colour.

Good Evening lovely people!
The other week I went to the MAC store at Carindale here in Brisbane to check out there concealers, among other things. I decided to get a concealer , because although I am happy with my Cinema Secrets or Graftobian concealer Palettes, I thought as I am doing youTube Tutorials now it'd be better for me to use easier to get products as well.
They have many different types of concealers but I decided on the moisture Cover one because it is currently winter here in Australia and my skin can get a bit dry and obviously can help out a bit with that!.
So I've been using it for a few weeks now and I'm really loving it!. My colour is NW20 which the lovely ladies in store matches for you if required. It gives quite a bit of coverage and blends in very well - with a nice consistency. Also, I have realised the places I put the concealer is a lot less dry, which is great! So far I have realised that a little goes a long way - which I also love because some people may find it expensive.
They come in 12 different shades so there should be pretty much a colour for every skin tone! I purchased this for $34.00.

Hello Hello Everyone!!
I hope everyone is having a lovely night/morning or whatever, wherever you are!!!
Tonight, i'm going to talk about an inexpensive makeup brand I have found. I have already done a blog on 2 of the lipglosses I bought a month or so ago but since then purchased a few more products and believe that there worth a mention!.
They sell this brand at Target, here in Australia. They are really inexpensive - the cheapest thing I purchased was the eyeliner and that was $2.95 and the most expensive was the bronzer which was $6.95. I have been using these products for about 2 weeks now and have to say the quality and the longevity is brilliant for the price!.
The products I bought are
1. Stay All Day - Long Lasting Eyeshadow in "Steel the show". This is a creamy metallic eyeshadow that is beautiful on it's own or as a base to make the eyeshadow stick to the eyelid better. This particular eyeshadow is available in 6 colours. I can't remember the exact price but I believe it was about $4.00.
2. Long Lasting Eye Pencil in "Bling Bling" and "c'est la vie". I am thoroughly impressed by these babies!! When they say long lasting, they really mean it! I swatched it and then let it sit for about 5 minutes and then I rubbed it like crazy multiple times and it did not budge at all! After that it still lasted for hours until I had to scrub my hands!. These come in 9 different colours and bought them for $2.95 each.
3. Sun Club - Matte Bronzing Powder in "brunettes". I originally bought this bronzer because I am in LOVE with my NARS Laguna but I use it so often I needed an alternative so my Laguna didn't go so quickly. This isn't the same by any means but it's a beautiful matte bronzer (I personally think matte bronzers are the best) and sits on your skin nicely and lasts as well. I like it as it's not an overly orange bronzer like a lot of them out there at the moment. You can buy these in 2 colours - Blonde and Brunette and buy them for $6.95.
4. I love rock Gloss eye pencil in Black. I have to say this is the smoothest/softest eyeliner I have ever tried. It just glides on with ease. Although it doesn't last as long as the long lasting pencil but I find it still lasts a while on the waterline and for tightlining. I just wish it would have the same longevity as the Long Lasting pencils. I bought this baby for $2.95.
As I said before I have already done a blog on 2 other lipglosses I bought by this brand so check that out.
If you want to check out some of the other products and colours etc check out the brand website http://www.essence.eu/ they don't have prices on there as it's a european website but atleast you can get an idea on different colours!.
Have a Beauty-ful Night!!
