On My Cheeks: NARS Blush in Taj Mahal

To contact us Click HERE
Hey all, 

We all hear so much about NARS blushes and their high quality, and most of us know the 'famous' shades quite well. Shades like 'Orgasm', 'Deep Throat' and 'Exhibit A' are absolutely gorgeous, but they are not my favourite Nars blush shade. 
Taj Mahal is, and hopefully you shall soon see why! 

The Shade A gorgeous orange-bronze, that looks absolutely amazing on darker skin tones. It has slight shimmer. Isn't as scary as it looks in the pan, and blends out like a dream. 
What I Love - Absolutely stunning colour. - Highly pigmented, as all Nars blushes tend to be. - Smooth, creamy and east to blend. - Long lasting and fades out evenly. - Sleek and stylish packaging. 
What I Don't - The price of NARS products in Australia are quite a lot higher than overseas. I would recommend buying online from the USA; either from a site that ships internationally, or by using a parcel forwarding service. 
Where to Buy: Mecca Cosmetica, Mecca Maxima & Online. 
For online Nars purchases, I like to use - Kiss and Makeup
Price: In store - $45 AUD Online - $26 USD

Blended

Quite a difference, huh? The terrifying aspect of the shade seems to just melt away when it is blended out. 
This is one of my favourite blushes. I have nothing else quite like it, and love it for that exact reason. If you are a darker skinned lady, I definitely recommend that you try it out! 
What is your favourite NARS blush shade? 
Hope you all have a great night! xx

Kit Cosmetics Eyeshadow in That's Hot

To contact us Click HERE
Hey all, 

I hadn't tried many Kit Cosmetics products for a long while, but got drawn in by their bright, gorgeous lipstick's (review soon to come) and have been expanding my horizons ever since. It's a wonderful brand, with great shades, high quality and adorable packaging. 
I was shopping the other day, and just could not walk past this eyeshadow. It is such a gorgeous shade, and didn't look like anything else that I had in my collection. 

The Shade A gorgeous deep, shimmery and multi-dimensional purple.
What I Love - Highly pigmented, one swipe colour. - Creamy and blends easily. - Has shimmer, but is not overpowering. - Long lasting, especially with a primer. - I adore the packaging of all Kit products as well! 
Where to Buy: Mecca Cosmetica, Mecca Maxima, Myer and Online. 
Price: $19.95

I though that I would put two pictures in, as I just couldn't capture the beauty of the colour as much as I wanted to.

I'm a sucker for purple shadows (or anything purple for that matter), and am certain that this shade will become a favourite in my collection! 
Have you tried any Kit products? Which product is your favourite? 
Hope you all have a great night! xx

Trilogy Everything Balm

To contact us Click HERE
Hey all, 

I usually have combination-oily skin, but in Winter it takes a stroll down the 'dry as hell' route. Chuck the flu into the mix and I end up with flaky, painful skin - especially around my nose. I have loved Trilogy products for a long while, and use their Cream Cleanser, Antioxidant Rose-hip Oil and Vital Moisturising Cream. Knowing this, a friend recommended that I tried this balm to tackle the problem bits around my nose, and I have used it for that and so much more! 

What Is It?- An all purpose balm containing Omega 3 & 6, natural super emollients and a range of vitamins and antioxidants. 
What Can It Be Used For? - Soothing dry skin. - All over nourishing & protecting. - Healthy nails. - Massage oil. - Lip conditioning. 

What I Love - Extremely versatile - can fix almost everything. - Smells gorgeous. - Packed full of natural ingredients. - Adorable packing (we all know that I am a sucker for it). - Reasonably priced. 
Where to Buy: Priceline, Adore Beauty
Price: $18.95 for 45ml and $29.95 for 95ml. 

I love this stuff! When they said it was multi-purpose, they weren't lying. And not only can it be used for a range of things, it works well for all of them as well. I have used it for problem dry bits, as a cuticle oil, as lip balm and it calms down bites, cuts and burns a lot as well! 
Keep one at home, and keep one in your bag - it's handy as hell! 
Hope you all have a great night! xx

Gorgeous Cosmetics Lipstick in Eternal Bronze

To contact us Click HERE
Hey all, 

I walked past the opening of a Gorgeous Cosmetics store in Brisbane city a while back and as they were promising amazing deals, I just had to go inside. Before this point, I did not even know that Gorgeous Cosmetics existed! 
Well, I am glad that I do now! They have some snazzy looking products, and what seems to be an amazing and unique range of shades - just like this Eternal Bronze lipstick. 

The Shade A gorgeous red bronze, with slight shimmer. 
What I Love - I usually can't stand lipstick's with shimmer in them, but they seem to have got the balance just right. It isn't too overpowering at all. - Gorgeous shade that compliments almost any look. - Smooth and creamy - applies like a dream. - Long lasting, even through eating and drinking. 
What I Don't - Harder to locate, but products can be bought online. - Shimmer is left over after colour fades. 
Where to Buy: Instore at Gorgeous Cosmetics, or online  http://www.gorgeouscosmetics.com.au/
Price: $35.00

On My Lips
Excuse my blemish! 
I usually don't appreciate shimmer in lip products at all, but somehow it seems to work in this this shade. This shade would especially work wonderfully on darker skin tones, but I am sure that the fairer ladies out there can pull it off too! 
Hope you all have a great night! xx
