Hi Guys

Hows it going?, I currently I am writing this in bed with flu (yay for me!) but I suppose that comes with the ridiculous weather Melbourne has.

Anyway before I came down with the full blown flu, I was able to make it to the heat group warehouse sale on the weekend. for those of you who don't know the heat group makes Ulta3 cosmetics and distributes , Covergirl cosmetics, Bourjois cosmetics, Essence cosmetics and Maxfactor cosmetics and many other brands. Every year they have a warehouse sale to get rid of excess stock with prices ranging from $1-$15 for all cosmetics and sets they have, which if you live in Australia is a huge price drop from what we normally would pay in other retail stores. The sale is advertised on their facebook page and website so I would check them out closer to Christmas (sometimes they have another sale) or next year around this time. Also bear in mind I went on the 2nd sale day and I have friends who went on the first sale day and said it was absolutely nuts they spent 2hrs waiting to pay whereas I was in and out within 40mins, so if you can wait I would recommend going on the 2nd day.

Now on to what I got the most I paid for any one thing was $5!!!!!!! (almost unheard of in Australia), which is why I am super excited to share this post with you, now when you walk through the door you are handed a canvas bag to put all your stuff and then you come through the warehouse brand by brand and at the end before checkout you have an area you can go through you bag any get rid of anything you don't really want which does help get people through alot quicker.

so now for some pics of what I got

Everything I got at the sale 

As you can see most this at sealed and tester were provided to stop people from opening the products, now I divided my photos into brands to make it easier so show you guys what I got (which was alot)

So lets start with Boujois, most of the thing I got were $5 except for the nail polish (small ones $1 and $3 for the big one). I got 3 of the shine edition lipsticks in 27- Oh my doll, 24 - Rose xoxo, 22 - Famous fuchsia. I also picked up 2 color boost lip crayons in 01 - Red sunset and 06 Plum russian, 3 blushes in 37 - Rose pompon, 33 - Lilas d'or and blush exclusif (changes according to your skins pH). Lastly I got a healthy mix foundation in 51 - vanilla clair and a healthy mix concealer also in 51.

Hi Guys


Today I have a review of the Ulta3 Lip paints. Ulta3 is an Australian based cosmetics company so for those of you else where I'm sorry but maybe if you want this product and have a friend here they would be willing to send some to you.

So I dont have much from Ulta3 all nail polish (which is quite good and affordable) so when I saw a post on instagram asking for bloggers to do a review on their new lip paints I jumped at the chance. I know MissTango2 did a  great review of these on here blog (lots of swatches)

You view her review here
http://misstango2.com/ulta3-lip-paint-review-swatches-and-giveaway/

So I got sent all six of the colours which range from purple and orange to you normal pinks and reds.

Overall I really enjoyed these lips paints, they have a slight minty smell but nothing too noticeable. What I really loved about these lip paints was that they weren't drying on my lips at all in fact when applied they seemed to cover the dry patches. They bleed a little as with most liquad lipstick products however its nothing a lip liner wont fix.

Ulta3 lip paints - RRP $5.95 (I think) 

now onto the colours

First is Loud Purple (I believe the name says it all)
This one applies a little patchy and sheer, I found I needed a least 2 coats for an opaque colour.

Loud Purple 

Electric orange is a bright orange that again applies on the sheerer side but with 2 coats is pretty opaque

Electric Orange 

Extreme pink is a light baby pink, that applies opaque in 1 coat

Extreme Pink

Manic mauve is the most wearable everyday colour out of them all (if you like neutral type colours that is), manic mauve is a dusty rose colour 

Manic Mauve

Expressive fuchsia is a bright pink fuchsia colour that again applies opaque in 1 coat (one of my faves)

Expressive Fuchsia

Radical red a bright red with warmer under tones and again applies opaque in 1 coat (another fave) 

Radical Red 

So final thoughts are these are great and really affordable and I highly recommend them

Hi Guys

Sorry for not posting in a long time I will try to post more often.

So many of you may have heard about the new MAC alluring aquatic collection, especially about the packaging and its beautiful.

This collection launched in June, Now I don't normally follow MAC collections nothing has really got me excited until this collection. I had to rush down to Myer and pick a few things up.

My picks from the collection, I just cant get over this packaging.
I mean even the box has water droplets on it (soooo cute!)

Yes even the box has little 3D water droplets on it  I must admit MAC did an amazing job with this collection.

Everything in the collection has this blue and water droplet packaging (Which I adore) 

So from this collection I picked up 2 lipsticks, 1 lip glass and 2 extra dimension eyeshadows, however this collection also includes 2 blushes and 4 bronzers, 2 lip pencils, 2 eye liners, plus more eyeshadows, lip glasses and lipsticks.

First the eyeshadows they are smooth and buttery just what you expect from MAC. All the eyshadows are very shimmery so if your after matte shades these a not for you.

Lorelei  and Fathoms Deep (RRP $37.00)

I picked up 2 extra dimension eyeshadows, Lorelei and Fathoms Deep. Lorelei is a shimmery champaign colour and Fathoms Deep a dark purple colour also very shimmery. So far I am really liking both colours. 

I also picked up 2 lipsticks both creamsheen, most of the collection is nude shades but I got the 2 coloured ones.

Take a moment to appreciate how cute this packaging is 

I picked up Mystical and Goddess of the Sea. Mystical is a rose colour (which I'm finding quite hard to describe). So I'm going with a warm rose colour. 

Mystical - RRP $38.00

Goddess of the Sea is a light grape colour, with some mauve (again hard for me to describe) 

Goddess of the Sea - RRP $38.00

and lastly I picked up 1 Lip glass in Modern Lure, a deep wine shade with glitter. I have worn this a few times and I must say it does apply a little streaky but nothing too bad. 

Modern Lure - RRP $37.00

Overall from what I've tried its all the quality you'd expect from MAC and I'm really loving the eyeshadows and lipsticks. 

Ok one last photo of the best packaging 

Ahhhh so cute!!! 

Bye for now
