Hey everyone! One of my Christmas presents was the beautiful Modern Renaissance Palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills. It has quickly become a favourite and I am constantly reaching for it.<br />
<br />
I bought mine from <a href="https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/anastasia-beverly-hills-modern-renaissance-eye-shadow-palette.html" target="_blank">Cult Beauty</a> where it's currently<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #030304; font-size: 15px;">£41.00 or AUD$68.</span></span><br />
<br />

First of all, it comes in really unique packaging with the exterior a light mauve velvet type of material. Inside it comes with a double-ended brush and of course the 14 matte and shimmery eyeshadows.<br />

<br />
The colour palette is very warm, with a range of oranges and pinks/reds. It ranges from a few lighter gold toned shades to deeper warm orange and red-browns.<br />
<br />
The quality of the eyeshadows are some of the most pigmented I have used. I would compare them very similarly to Makeup Geek eyeshadows. You only need the smallest amount on your brush for most of the colours to get intense pigment.<br />
<br />
I find the darker shades are the most pigmented, particularly Cyprus Umber and Realgar. Both Vermeer and Primavera however are gorgeous light shimmery white and gold shades, and are very pigmented.<br />
<br />
Some of the colours take a bit more work to get as pigmented, particularly Tempera, Golden Ochre, Buon Fresco, and Warm Taupe, which are some of the lighter mattes. However they are still very nice in quality and I still use them just as much as the other shades in the palette.<br />

The included brush is a double-ended one with a blending brush and shader brush. Unfortunately I found the brush to be quite a let down. The blending side is not overly soft, and rather scratchy on the eyelids. The other end is more decent, with quite soft bristles, but is quite a bit smaller than your regular shader brush, although this does make it good for the lower lash line or to work in smaller sections of the eye. </div>

If you're thinking of buying this palette, I would highly recommend it. The pigmentation is amazing, it has gorgeous packaging, and it isn't your regular nude palette, so you probably won't be buying a palette filled with shades you already own tons of.<br />
<br />
Hopefully this review was helpful for any of you to decide whether to buy this palette! Let me know if you bought it and what you think of it.<br />
<br />
I'm also wanting to do a tutorial using this palette, so stay tuned for that!<br />

It's been a while, but I'm back with a post all about my highlighter collection. Highlighting and highlighters seems to have blown up recently, and I have to say I'm loving it! So here is an overview of all the highlighters I own with swatches and some mini reviews.<br />
<br />

I have separated my collection into three sections: liquid, cream, and powder highlighters. I have included both blended and unblended swatches with both flash and no flash.<br />

<b><a href="https://www.beccacosmetics.com/shimmering-skin-perfector-liquid-ecbbf2.html" target="_blank">Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal:</a> </b>The colour of this highlight is a gold/copper which is a bit to dark for my fair skin but is a beautiful shade. I feel that the formula is a bit thicker than Pearl, but this may be because I have a sample size with a doe foot applicator as opposed to a pump.<b> </b><br />

<b><a href="https://www.benefitcosmetics.com/us/en/product/girl-meets-pearl" target="_blank">Benefit Girl Meets Pearl:</a> </b>This is the most sheer of the liquid highlighters, which makes it easy to blend out but still gives a lovely pink-gold glow.<br />

<br />
<b><a href="https://www.beccacosmetics.com/shimmering-skin-perfector-pressed-2eeec7.html" target="_blank">Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal:</a> </b>I prefer the formula of the powder over the liquid, as I fell it is easier to blend out and therefore easier to make it work with my skin tone.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><a href="https://thebalm.com/products/man-681619700583" target="_blank">TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer:</a> </b>Definitely my most reached for highlighter, it is a light gold which really makes the skin glow. It blends out perfectly and only a small amount is needed.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><a href="http://www.elfcosmetics.com/p/baked-blush" target="_blank">Elf Baked Blush in Peachy Cheeky:</a> </b>This is technically a blush, but it is quite sheer and shimmery so it actually works well as a peachy-pink highlight.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/models-prefer-highlighter-quad-7-g" target="_blank">Models Prefer Highlighter in Glitz & Glamour</a>: </b>This is a quad highlighter so the swatches above show the mixed colour then the separate shades. The formula is quite chunky but is very pigmented and is another good affordable option.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope this was helpful! What are your favourite highlighters?<br />
As always feel free to comment any questions or suggestions!<br />

Hey everyone, I hope you are all having a great new year! Today I am doing a list of my favourite products of 2015. I have included some links to my other posts including swatches/reviews of the products!<br />

This year I have been trying heaps of new nude shades, and here are my favourites!<br />
<br />
<b>MAC Velvet Teddy:</b> This is a super popular shade from Mac, and I can see why - it's a really unique colour, and is a cool toned brown with warmer reddish hints, whilst remaining a nude shade. It has become one of my everyday picks!<br />
<br />
<b>MAC Peach Blossom:</b> Another nude, but this lipstick is a cremesheen and therefore slightly sheer and glossy shade, and is a gorgeous light pink nude.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/12/essence-lip-liners-review-swatches.html" target="_blank">Essence lipliner in In the Nude:</a> </b>Probably my most used lipliner, this is so versatile and goes with most lighter nudes or can be worn by itself. The best part is it only costs $2!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/australis-review-velourlips-metallix-f.html" target="_blank"><b>Australis Velourlips in Pa-ree:</b></a> Again one of my favourite nudes. This is a light brownish pink and is a perfect natural nude for my fair skin.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Maybelline Colossal Mascara:</b> This mascara is the 'Smoky Eyes' version of the Colossal mascara. I picked this up not knowing what it would be like, and despite the larger wand which I usually do not prefer, this became a favourite! I found it really separated the lashes whilst giving plenty of volume.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara:</b> If you like the Falsies mascara, you will love this! This is a double ended mascara, one end the normal Falsies wand, and the other a smaller, thinner brush for your lower lashes. This is a must have for me, and something I would by just for the lower lash wand, which tends to be hard to find in drugstore brands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/maybelline-hypersharp-wing-liner.html" target="_blank"><b>Maybelline Hyper Sharp liner:</b></a> This liner is a new liner made to perfect your winged eyeliner, and it works amazingly! It is flat with a thick side and thin edge which makes it perfect to shape your wings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/australis-review-velourlips-metallix-f.html" target="_blank"><b>Australis Metallix eyeshadow in Guns and Rose Petals:</b></a> This eyeshadow is absolutely amazing and I have never seen anything exactly like it before! It is a creamy shadow which is incredibly metallic and glowy on the eyes, as if you have real gems on them.<br />
<br />
<b>Makeup Geek eyeshadows:</b> The 'MUG' eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented, particularly the matte shades. They come in a huge range of colours with a reasonable price and are great quality. The foiled eyeshadows are especially incredible, similar to the Metallix in powder form.<br />

<h4>
Face</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GI0-lXX0uHvo9FCZ_Jyo_t06QRTVdWDZsJPXZT9mMzlEkqLOcB8Cy_zaP1EzVQC6Taot_G9vOW3IrWEOx2gxKz0YkTzk5eHb34nl5Q_xjqdVWlnb7Uscnbykyd3ygSg8ZsrZEc16pTmx/s1600/IMG_9861+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GI0-lXX0uHvo9FCZ_Jyo_t06QRTVdWDZsJPXZT9mMzlEkqLOcB8Cy_zaP1EzVQC6Taot_G9vOW3IrWEOx2gxKz0YkTzk5eHb34nl5Q_xjqdVWlnb7Uscnbykyd3ygSg8ZsrZEc16pTmx/s640/IMG_9861+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Secret Key Finish Up BB Cream: </b>This is a Korean BB cream which I love for using as a base for my makeup. It works amazingly at covering up pores and redness, and reminds me of Benefit's Porefessional for a fraction of the price! (I bought mine from <a href="http://beautynetkorea.com/">beautynetkorea.com</a>).<br />
<br />
<b>Nars Creamy Concealer:</b> I never thought I would splurge on a concealer like this one, but here it is and I can say it was definitely worth it! The tiniest bit of this concealer goes such a long way and conceals amazingly. I have the shade Chantilly which is perfect for under the eyes for fair skin as it has a yellow undertone, although I find it works anywhere on my face.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/models-prefer-contour-collection-review.html" target="_blank"><b>Models Prefer Contour Collection:</b></a> Contour kits were all the range this year, and I'm glad that I picked one up, in particular this one! It has great contour colours for lighter skin tones which can be difficult to find, as well as a gorgeous yellow shade and highlighter.<br />

<br />
<b>Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade in Medium Brown:</b> I love this product as it is so versatile and easy to use, and can be used for any style on your brows. I actually find it easier to use than a pencil or even powder as it glides on so smoothly and makes it easy to define your brows.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/priceline-haul.html" target="_blank">Maybelline Brow Satin</a> in Dark Brown: </b>I love this product for its convenience as well as its quality. It is double sided with a pencil on one end and a powder applicator on the other. It is a very easy to use product and I really love how it looks on my brows.<br />

<br />
<b>TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer:</b> This highlighter is a very popular product and for a good reason. It is a beautiful gold shimmery powder which beautifully illuminates the face.<br />
<br />
<b>Nars blush in Gaiety: </b>This blush looks alarmingly bright pink, but actually applies a more natural almost peachy pink. It gives a lovely glow to the skin which makes you look slightly flushed without looking crazy.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/12/my-christmas-gifts.html" target="_blank"><b>Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal:</b></a> Another very popular highlighter which I found works even on my very fair skin despite its slightly bronzier colour. I love this as it gives a gorgeous natural glow when used lightly or can be built up to look super glamorous, but just looks so beautiful on the skin.<br />
<br />
And that's it for my 2015 favourites! What were your favourites from the year? Did you discover any amazing new products? Let me know!<br />

Recently I recieved my first ever Tarte product, the Tarte Rainforest After Dark coloured eye & cheek palette, which includes 6 eyeshadows, a blush, bronzer, and highlighter. It is a really beautiful palette which is very usable and can create many different looks, and I have found myself reaching for it every day!<br />

The palette comes in gorgeous packaging. The box is a purple gradient with a snake skin texture and a metallic gold snake. The packaging of the palette itself has the same gold snake with a purple gem on its head, and is on top of a wood patterned background (the palette is made of plastic).<br />

In the palette, the two larger colours around the edge are the highlighter on the left and the bronzer on the right and the blush in the centre of the palette. The eyeshadows include both pink tones and warm browns & gold. It includes three matte and three shimmery shadows.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I found the blush to be much more of a peachy pink than it appears to be in the palette where it looks like much more of a muted pink. The highlighter is subtle but gives a really nice glow. I also found that using a brush picks up a lot more pigment than using your fingers.</span></div>

So today I am going to be reviewing their lipliners, which run for only $2 each!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCqkDEOoHYWXkj-II0RrwhJ5WQUPeV_bbhgz2a-hZHVm0J_WhsrJzEiOm7d5W4adJKVyGqp6qIuZ7mV_DVz_jXcsMXXX53TcXl_zpKI0wi2vBHMfiNsajXpAxEwSQjOnpUQpRbrV9HKYUq/s1600/IMG_9311.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCqkDEOoHYWXkj-II0RrwhJ5WQUPeV_bbhgz2a-hZHVm0J_WhsrJzEiOm7d5W4adJKVyGqp6qIuZ7mV_DVz_jXcsMXXX53TcXl_zpKI0wi2vBHMfiNsajXpAxEwSQjOnpUQpRbrV9HKYUq/s640/IMG_9311.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<div>
These lipliners come in a really versatile range of colours, meaning everyone should be able to find at least one shade you like! They range from a nude & light pink, to red to deeper purples and browns. You can tell which one is my favourite - I use 'In The Nude' By itself or under my favourite nude lipstick, <a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/australis-review-velourlips-metallix-f.html" target="_blank">'Pa-ree' Velourlips by Australis</a>.</div>

</div>
<div>
The Essence Lipliners claim to create a "super soft and precise application", which I think is pretty accurate.<br />
<br />
The texture of the lipliners is very soft, smooth & creamy. I would say the one downfall of the lipliners is that they are a bit too soft and break quite easily. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As for its last-ability, I found the red lipliner which I think is an older formula of the liners lasts very well on my lips whereas the newer liners do not last quite as long. However they last just as well as any other lip liner I have tried, and for the price I definitely do not mind.<br />
<br />
As I have quite dry lips, I first used a lip scrub then a lip balm on my lips which helps the application of the lip liner (and hence the slightly glossy finish).<br />

I love to cook and love food, so I thought I would share a part of that.<br />
I love making this smoothie in the summer, but also just for a quick & healthy breakfast or snack.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz0UnDThXxdMcqtXTlffZw66f90SX0NDJOvqaGZUMjgfqxLRoMe_1x2A3D7pywziFQJM97Bfs5lC1QFm-QcqqxpG1X57cfFxa1Iddz6b1Yj-APorqybaClEP0wszWfbt6XRhZMW2S5hccf/s1600/IMG_6454.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz0UnDThXxdMcqtXTlffZw66f90SX0NDJOvqaGZUMjgfqxLRoMe_1x2A3D7pywziFQJM97Bfs5lC1QFm-QcqqxpG1X57cfFxa1Iddz6b1Yj-APorqybaClEP0wszWfbt6XRhZMW2S5hccf/s640/IMG_6454.jpg" width="556" /></a></div>
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 tblspn passionfruit pulp<br />
1 cup frozen mango<br />
1/2 - 1 banana<br />
1/2 cup yoghurt (I use vanilla)<br />
1 cup+ milk<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
All you do is put the ingredients together in a blender and blend until smooth! You can add more milk or yoghurt if you want it thicker or thinner (you may need more milk if you want a bigger smoothie).<br />

You can of course add any additional ingredients - sometimes I add some frozen berries into the mix. But you can take away ingredients, use fresh fruits, do whatever you like with it - I find this is a great base for creating any smoothie!<br />
<br />
Let me know if you try out this recipe!<br />

The Australis Mini Velourlips set in Reds & Darks is a cute set of 5 travel sized <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/australis-velourlips-matte-lip-cream-10-ml" target="_blank">Velourlips</a>. It includes a classic red, two dark berry shades, a deep purple and a black. I really wanted to try some of the deeper shades so this was a great way to try them out! I did a review of Velourlips <a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/australis-review-velourlips-metallix-f.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I also picked up another Australis product, the Metallix eyeshadow in Plum Diddy, a deep plum-brown. Since I loved my one in Guns and Rose Petals, I decided to pick up another one. This one isn't as intense, but is very creamy and still a gorgeous shade. I also did a review on my <a href="http://pinklemonadeandmakeup.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/australis-review-velourlips-metallix-f.html" target="_blank">Australis review post.</a><br />

I wanted to try out a fuller coverage foundation so I picked up the <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/covergirl-outlast-stay-fabulous-3-in-1-foundation-30-ml" target="_blank">Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation</a> in Natural Beige. This foundation claims to be long wearing, blendable and provide heavy coverage, and includes SPF 20, and after hearing so many great reviews on it I thought it would be the perfect time to try it out.</div>

The <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/maybelline-brow-satin-2-ea" target="_blank">Maybelline Brow Satin</a> in Dark Brown is an interesting new product which seems really good for when you're in a rush doing your makeup and want to quickly fill in your eyebrows. On one side is an automatic brow pencil, and on the other side is a kind of sponge applicator which dispenses powder. I am really excited to use this!<br />

The last thing I bought was the <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/rimmel-moisture-renew-lip-liner-0-3-g" target="_blank">Rimmel Moisture Renew Lip Liner</a>, which is basically a universal/transparent lip liner, meaning you can wear it under literally any colour lipstick and it will keep it in place & prevent bleeding/feathering. I think this is a really good investment as it can be the only lip liner you really need! </div>

These lip creams go on quite nicely and are very pigmented on the lips. They dry quite quickly but not too quickly to work with. They feel quite dry, but I haven't had a problem with them, even on my dry lips. </div>

As for them lasting, they stay very well without eating or drinking and usually will still stay on the lips if you're not eating oily foods etc. I also found that blotting my lips after applying them helped them stay on even longer.<br />

The eyeshadow is quite creamy, but looks like a foiled eyeshadow when used. It is very pigmented but ideally should be applied with your finger rather than a brush to get the most out of the product.</div>

The Go Camo concealer claims to be a 'full on coverage concealer'. The formula is quite thick and does have quite heavy coverage. I have heard that for people with dry skin it can pick up dry patches, but on my oily skin it works quite well.</div>

I got the shade 'Medium', the middle shade of 3 shades. For a medium shade I found it to be very light, but it works for me. I would say the biggest downfall of tis product would be the lack of a range of shades.<br />

Light Beige is the lightest shade in the range. It appears very yellow toned, but I found it did not show up as yellow when used lightly & blended out. Deep Natural is a darker, more warm toned shade but is quite light when blended.</div>

Overall I am really liking Australis, and defintely think I will be purchasing more from them in the future, especially the Velourlips and Metallix eyeshadows. I hope this was helpful! Let me know how you like Australis.</div>

<h4>
Base</h4>
1. First I started with my base: primer, foundation, concealer and powder to recreate her flawless matte base.<br />
<br />
2. In the video she looks like she has a soft contour, so I used a cool toned powder to create a softly blended contour under my cheek bones, and a lighter powder to slightly highlight areas of my face.<br />

1. After priming my eyelids, first I used a matte pink in my crease.<br />

3. For the liner, I used a dark blue to create a wing - it doesn't have to be perfect, & you can use a q-tip to neaten it & slightly smudge it out. </div>

4. Next I used an angled brush with a mix of blue & black eyeshadow to create the deep blue smudged wing</div>

5. On her lower lash line, Ariana has a nude colour. First I used a nude eyeliner to line just under my lower lashes. </div>

8. Finally I added some lashes which I felt closest matched Ariana's in the video - natural but slightly flared out at the outer lashes.<br />

<h4>
Lips</h4>
In the video Ariana has two lip colours - a glossy pink lip and a lined berry lip.<br />
<br />
1. For the first lip colour I used a light pink lip liner to fill in my lips. Then I used a light pink gloss over the top.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
2. For the lined lips, I started by filling my lips with a light pink/berry shade. Then I carefully lined the outside of my lips with a darker berry liner, following the shape of my lips. The line is quite thick which makes it easier to perfect.<br />

The eyeliner has a tapered tip, and is flat, so it can be used with the thin side, or the wider, thick side to create a thick or thin line. Another bonus is that the flat side is the "shape" of a wing, and it can be used to directly create a wing or the basis of a wing, making it easy to get a quick & easy wing. I will show you how to do this below.<br />

<h4>
Thin wing</h4>
The thin side can be used to create a thin line on the lash line as well as to create a thin or long, sharp wing.<br />

To use the thin side to create a wing, I first draw the outline of the wing before filling it in. To do this, I line my top lash line, then I draw the bottom line first, extending it from the "line" of my lower lash line and connecting it to the liner I already have on my top lash line.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I draw the upper line of the wing, connecting it to the liner on my lash line to the bottom wing line. I choose how high I make it depending on how thick I want the wing.</div>

Thick wing (fast & easy)</h4>
To make a thicker but super fast and easy wing, I use the thick side of the liner.<br />
<br />
First I line my top lash line. The flat side can create a thicker but still neat line.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next, I position the tip of the liner where I want the wing to end, The flat side facing my face. Keep in mind that this type of wing will be quite thick, so a shorter wing is probably the best option.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR87BhxcN8Y0H4KpvtI2XRveufmYA1KTvv4O-PEBGCqOmW_uHfZIFefee7YywDVYpnNC6u6E8_Jc1auffw1Hbk3KY7VA2e12h2zWvogEVsU0vwwmDf3_sAFzR4sT2GKFAxA3CAdM_ThDAZ/s1600/IMG_7577+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR87BhxcN8Y0H4KpvtI2XRveufmYA1KTvv4O-PEBGCqOmW_uHfZIFefee7YywDVYpnNC6u6E8_Jc1auffw1Hbk3KY7VA2e12h2zWvogEVsU0vwwmDf3_sAFzR4sT2GKFAxA3CAdM_ThDAZ/s320/IMG_7577+copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I press down the liner, using the flat side, starting at the tip then dragging it towards my lash line. Due to the shape of the brush it should leave you with a nice wing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtJweaT9jYHJT2FMFyBnH2KzywIyOa0ehsianwFTaMh1G9gQX6kh74xBlympwRqzoWyvB2ud40ADb_CRtGCBaASsQZ95kxiO7_S1XVhDPneiFxRHv-NbDCpN7u7x90mLByoSaAIsLxW4Fh/s1600/IMG_7581.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtJweaT9jYHJT2FMFyBnH2KzywIyOa0ehsianwFTaMh1G9gQX6kh74xBlympwRqzoWyvB2ud40ADb_CRtGCBaASsQZ95kxiO7_S1XVhDPneiFxRHv-NbDCpN7u7x90mLByoSaAIsLxW4Fh/s320/IMG_7581.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I just clean it up using the thinner side of the brush. This is not always a necessary step, but if it is a little messy, or you want to extend your wing or sharpen the end, you can do so.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Contouring is very on-trend at the moment, and a lot of contouring palettes have come out. The Anastasia Beverley Hills and Australis contour palettes are the two which are probably most comparable to this palette in terms of the shades, although I have not tried them out myself.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wasn't sure whether to get the Australis palette, especially after the quite negative reveiws (although it has supposed to come out with a better formula now), so when I saw that this palette had come out, getting very positive reviews and for the same price at AU$16.95, I jumped right onto it, and I'm glad I did.</span><br />

The palette comes with a handy little booklet about how to use the kit depending on your skin tone and face shape and some other tips. The palette also comes with a big mirror inside which is actually useful.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although </span>admittedly<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the shades aren't all perfect for my fair skin, I manage to find a use for most of them. They are all matte shades apart from one, the shimmery highlighter, and come in warm and cool tones.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Highlight 1</b> - This is the lightest shade, and is a light cool toned powder. The powder is just about the same colour as my skin so for me it works best as a setting powder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Highlight 2</b> - This is a yellow shade, which is usually meant for under the eyes. The colour is very yellow so if you put too much on it can look strange, but blended </span>lightly<span style="font-family: inherit;"> under the eye works quite well to cancel out and brighten under eye circles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Highlight 3</b> - This is my favourite highlight shade. This one is an actual shimmery highlighter rather than a matte powder. Although it looks quite dark I still really like it even on my super fair skin. It blends out to just give a nice glow, and I think it would work on any skin tone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Contour 4</b> - This shade is a slightly warm dark brown, and is what I use for light bronzing. All the powders in the kit blend out really well, and this shade is not too orange so it works well on my skin tone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Contour 5</b> - I </span>absolutely<span style="font-family: inherit;"> love this shade for contouring. It is cool toned so gives a nice shadowey affect and carves out my cheek bones nicely. It is a perfect contour shade for fair skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Contour 6</b> - This is the only shade out of the palette that I haven't actually used. It is very warm and quite dark, so would probably work best for bronzing on medium skin tones.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rundown</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I </span>think<span style="font-family: inherit;"> this palette is a very good, versatile palette. Although the shades are not all perfect for my skin, I still manage to find a use for most of them. The shades are all quite light, so I would say this palette would work for fair to medium skin tones, and not really anything darker than that. Hopefully they will release a darker palette like Australis has because this is such a great kit! The powders are relatively pigmented but still very blendable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pros: pigmented, blendable, versatile, affordable</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cons: suitable only for lighter skin tones, not necessarily all usable</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi everyone, today I have a new post about Colourpop Cosmetics.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Colourpop Cosmetics is a fairly new brand which has recently become very popular, so I decided to try them out. I recently bought two of their Lippie Stix and one Supershock eyeshadow. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix0cHdpn8V2AKbU9NET6Ul-10BPx10r-e1GFLPguJDp3pKvu6qosT8ftfS6af6dLgKXSMsqNVGF-NgSvlbJmAqPCE9Seqt-TNsxMoku4s_rcyfURs3zyj5iMbHTqz5dglvR7omzIMICKFv/s1600/IMG_7088.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix0cHdpn8V2AKbU9NET6Ul-10BPx10r-e1GFLPguJDp3pKvu6qosT8ftfS6af6dLgKXSMsqNVGF-NgSvlbJmAqPCE9Seqt-TNsxMoku4s_rcyfURs3zyj5iMbHTqz5dglvR7omzIMICKFv/s400/IMG_7088.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
The two Lippie Stix I bought had a sheer finish. I bought Crunch, a light pink and Safari, a bright reddish- orange. I also bought On the Rocks, a brown eyeshadow with gold and purple shimmer in a metallic finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lippie Stix</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The sheer Lippie Stix are like very pigmented tinted lip balms. They are great if you want a light wash of colour or a bold lip whilst keeping your lips moisturised. The colour can be built up easily and depends on how much you put on. </span></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Crunch</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Crunch is a pinky-coral, but looks more pink on my lips than it looks in the tube or swatched. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Colourpop eyeshadows have a unique consistency - they feel like a cream but apply more powder like. Once they are on the eyes they look like powder and don't need to be set. They are similar to cream to powder but are more like something in between the two.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The shade I bought is called "On the Rocks", which is a neutral medium brown with slight purple and gold shimmer. It is described as having a metallic finish, but I think it is more of just a shimmery eyeshadow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The pigmentation of the eyeshadow is quite good, although it can change depending on how you apply it. To make the most of the product and get it the most pigmented, I found it best to apply it with my finger. I then use a brush to blend it out. However if you want a more subtle look you can use a brush to apply it directly, but the colour will be quite washed out.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The eyeshadow is very soft and smooth and has a nice texture. I quite like the outcome when I applied it with my finger then blended with a brush. I did notice it wore off quite quickly, so a primer is definitely needed when you use these.</span></div>

Today I am going to share how to create this blue & green ombré nail design.<br />

For these nails you will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- a base coat</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- a white polish or any other base colour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- at least 2 nail polishes of your choice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- a top coat (I used a matte one)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- a disposable makeup sponge (you may need a few)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- nail polish remover</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- small brush or Q-tip</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- and optionally, something to protect around your nails </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
such as <b>glue</b> or Vaseline or a specific product to do so.</div>
<br />

You can use any colours and any amount of colours you like (with at least two, of course). For this look I used a light blue, a green/blue, turquoise colour, and a mint green polish.<br />

Start off by coating your nails with a base coat to protect them.<br />

Next coat your nails with a base coat. This will ensure the colour of the final design is more opaque.<br />

This is an optional step, but it will make the cleaning up process easier. You can buy products to use, or alternatively you can use a non-toxic glue, which will do the same thing - you will be able to peel it off your skin along with any nail polish. Otherwise you can coat around your nails with Vaseline, which you can wipe off with any nail polish.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next, take your sponge and paint stripes of nail polish on the sponge. Make sure all the stripes will fit the space of your nail. Paint the polish on thickly as the sponge will absorb a lot of it.<br />

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />
Press the sponge on you nail. If you are using glue, make sure it is dry before doing so. You will probably have to dab it on a few times. For best results, wait a few minutes before going over it again with a fresh coat on the sponge. Make sure to add more polish to the sponge before using it on each nail. You may need to use multiple sponges as they may start to dissolve if you use it enough.<br />

(+ mini review)<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey everyone! So I am doing my first post in a while. I am planning to update regularly from now on!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
So today I went to my local Chemist Warehouse and in the clearance section found a ton of makeup and nail polishes from $1 to $4, so of course I had to pick some up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYNt9k-DVff21eolbe_fMoQCjV8pS_X52kVngYUsotEsj3Ahb-5gvyiRCsiquPXFmUICszLbbCo2oRiy408h3KI9VtsNLKmM5vi37-XGCsXQETwDpUk_OTIqdLDLwABrw4VuA0Kh4SlUiN/s640/blogger-image--737335759.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYNt9k-DVff21eolbe_fMoQCjV8pS_X52kVngYUsotEsj3Ahb-5gvyiRCsiquPXFmUICszLbbCo2oRiy408h3KI9VtsNLKmM5vi37-XGCsXQETwDpUk_OTIqdLDLwABrw4VuA0Kh4SlUiN/s640/blogger-image--737335759.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br />
The haul includes eyeshadows, lip glosses/stains, nail polishes and a foundation, from Maybelline, Rimmel, Revlon & Sally Hansen. I haven't swatched the nail polishes, but if I get round to using them I will make sure to update some pictures!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
So here are the swatches. If you want me to properly review any of these please let me know, but for this post it will be just swatches and first opinions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
P.S. I was wearing fake tan which slowly faded after I wiped each swatch off, which is why my skin gradually gets lighter (lol).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
P.P.S. All (or most) photos were taken with flash.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eyeshadow palettes:</span></h3>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Maybelline Eyestudio in 500 "Violet"</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This palette includes shimmery shadows including a white, silver, lilac and deep purple. I found these to be one of the most pigmented out of all the palettes (the picture does not do it justice). The silver is a gorgeous metallic shade which I am so excited to use!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Despite the other Rimmel palette not being the best, I found this palette was very pigmented. However, apart from the cross in the middle the other colours are in such small shapes they are very difficult to get to! But I do really like this palette, featuring gorgeous a khaki, gold and browns. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rimmel Apocalips in 701 "Stargazer"</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a gorgeous shimmery nude lip lacquer with great pigmentation. The colour is hard to explain - it has light brown/orange undertones with gold shimmer. I would say it would be a great nude for most skin tones. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Maybelline Super Stay 10 Stain Gloss in 160 "Luxurious Lilac" and 110 "Fresh Fuchsia" </span></h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These lip stains really do stain your lips. The colour is very vibrant, and although I am not sure if they remain glossy or vibrant throughout the day, they will definitely not come off. I have included a picture after I wiped (vigorously scrubbed) the swatch off my arm.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Correctors are different to concealers as they act to cancel out the colour underneath it, e.g. green to cover redness. In this case we are covering blue/purple under eye circles, so an orange, yellow or pink corrector will work best.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The colour to use will differ depending on your skin tone & undertone. For blue under eye circles, use peach, for purple circles use yellow, and for fair skin a salmon corrector. The darker the skin tone the darker the colour you should use.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now to make the corrector: All you need is a concealer matching your skin tone (or a shade lighter if you like) and a lipstick in the right colour for you as mentioned above (try to use one without glitter or ultra shine - a matte would work nicely, but is not necessary). You will also need a small container to store your corrector in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Disperse the concealer into a small bowl. now take your lipstick and add a small blob of it and stir. If it is too difficult to mix them together microwave the mixture for a few seconds. The amount of lipstick you add is up to you. Try to make it a colour which will correct your circles but will also be blendable - test it out if you're not sure. If you want high coverage you can add more lipstick making the corrector more coloured, but you will probably have to wear it under your foundation. It's up to you.</span><br />
