Mini Haul.. Bourjois Cosmetics Paris

my mini haul for today.. an assortment of eyeshadows and a red lipstick from bourjois paris.
i don't buy much eyeshadowss but since i've gotten a freebie shadow palette by bourjois from a purchase off priceline before.. thats when the love for bourjois began. I only own a lipstick and a 2 shadow palette that is actually by bourjois because the only thing holding me back is the price. I can't seem to justify spending $16.00 on eyeshadows i would hardly use but since they were on sale today i thought why the hell not?!

Heres what I got..

Review: Face Of Australia Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30+

What They Say:

Face of Australia has just introduced their revolutionary 3 in 1 foundation, moisturiser and sunscreen, perfect for the modern girl and foundation minimalist.

This ultra light foundation combines moisturiser with broad spectrum SPF 30 to keep skin looking fresh and ultimately protected.

My Verdict:

Finish: 5 out of 5.. matte shine free finish
Consistency: 5 out of 5.. very smooth consistency and not sticky
Ease Of Use: 5 out of 5.. very easy to use !
Price: 5 out of 5.. cheap but great quality !
Overall: 5 out of 5

I've always been skeptical about cheap makeup, but this tinted moisturizer from FOA is just marvelous !! Honestly speaking it rivals my $105 Clarins Tinted Restorative !! I love the smell of this stuff and the spf is so high you don't need to apply sunscreen before hand ! I especially love the price, it is $14.95 but as always I managed to score a bargain since i purchased it on sale !! The coverage is very sheer and lightweight, great for all the ladies out there who have clear skin and just needs to cover redness or evening out the skin tone. Applying the moisturizer is also very easy as the product is very smooth. I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and I didn't get any shine even hours after application. Overall I think I have founda another product I can't see myself without !

EDM Mothers Day Kit & other EDM goodies!!

i know mother's day has passed but a few days ago i just received my mothers day kit from EDM !! i totally love love the bamboo kabuki !! i really want another one but i think they are limited edition only and comes with the new mom blush.

i super love the new mom blush !! it just has enough red to give that
natural looking "winter flush" even on my tanned skin !!

i am so in love with the bamboo kabuki !! the bamboo kabuki is the same
as the long handled kabuki but only a shorter handle ! i find shorter handles
give more precision in application !! it is super full also !! i love EDM brushes.

my free sample and eyeshadow samples !!
i love the bold glittery blue of anna karenina and the black eyeliner !!
butterfly kisses doesn't seem to show against my skin.. il make it work somehow..

.......LIPSTICKS !!!

while i was stuck at home with the flu last week i decided i needed new lipsticks !! (not that i have anymore room in my bathroom!) so i drove my car out looking like the living dead and bought a few... in my opinion MUST HAVE lipsticks for this coming winter !!

there are two things i always look for in a lipstick
1. the lipstick HAS to have medium to high pigmentation.. to hide my darker upper lip.. i know eww right?!
2. the lipstick color has to be NUDE or close to my natural lipcolor.

Napoleon Perdis Set Lipstick in ATHENS. RRP $36.00
Maybelline Mineral Lipstick in NUDE SHELL. RRP $17.00

The NP lipstick is my FIRST Napoleon purchase ever and it didn't disappoint ! I've heard alot of raves about Hollywood stars using NP makeup but i dismissed it until i saw this lovely shade of lipstick and i just HAD to get it !! The texture is absolutely smooth and glides on easily and it is pretty moisturising yet doesn't look like my lips have been glossed over. Lovely semi matte finish !! Totally worth the $36.00 !!

NP "Athens" & Maybelline "Nude Shell"

The Maybelline Mineral Lipstick is great for everyday application !! The lipstick itself is mineral based so you won't be slathering on a bunch of chemicals on your lips and the texture is so velvety smooth almost like gloss and is very moisturising. The down side of it is the color is quite sheer and for the price i guess you get what you pay for but i still love it !!

Moisture Extreme SPF 15 RRP: $14.95

i also bought two lipsticks from Maybelline which are also extremely lovely !! I'm really digging their Moisture Extreme line !! with SPF 15 and super smooth application and a lovely hint of watermelon scent i just couldn't resist !! i bought Peach Mocha and Nude Blush !! i just love their colors !!

maybelline ME lipstick in "Peach Mocha"
this is a darker shade of mauve.. if applied heavily will look almost brown

maybelline ME lipstick in "Nude Blush"
excellent everyday shade !! lovely sheer color

HERE'S THE SWATCHES !!
