Holy Fail of the Week: Maybelline Lash Stiletto Eyeliner

Any of you who have read my blog with some regularity will know that I am a huge fan of Maybelline products - it is one of my favorite brands, and I love the quality and variety of the brand. It therefore pains me to say, that my fail of this week is the highly famed Maybelline Lash Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner.

Holy Grail of the Week: Inglot eyeshadow in Pearl 444

First of all, I am sooooooo sorry I haven't been active for, well, over a week now! Not only have I been crazy with work and uni, but I've had the flu, so I've been down for the count. But I'm going to try make much more of an effort starting this week.

Anyway, onto my new love: Inglot eyeshadows. The shade I'm loving is a Pearl shadow, in the color 444. It is a gorgeous purple-toned taupe. It is a shade of brown with the perfect mix of gray and purple undertones - an absolutely fabulous color!

Holy Grail of the Week (just passed): Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail color in Deep Purple

Everybody seems to love the Sally Hansen range of nail polishes, and over time, I've picked up a couple Xtreme Wear shades at those discount beauty stands, but I've never really worn them. It wasn't until Priceline were having a sale on Sally Hansen that I stopped by the stand and saw this color that I finally decided to take the plunge and try it out. Thankfully, I was not disappointed!

Holy Fail of the Week (just passed) : Clean and Clear Advantage Pimple Control Set

I am sooooooo sorry that these posts are so late! Like I said in my update post, I've been a little sick, as well as busy, so I wasn't able to get them up, but I guess it is better late then never! Anyway, on to the disappointment of the past few months week.

Quick update

Hi lovelies, I am super sorry for not having posted in about a week! It's just between starting uni again and work lately, plus the fact I've been a bit sick, I've had a lot on my plate. Hopefully this weekend will be the start of it all settling down, so I can get into regular posting again! Thanks for being so patient :) Oh, and on a quick note, when I hit 100 followers (5 left!!!!) I'll be holding a giveaway! Keep an eye out for that. Love Gianna Xx

Tag: The Colors of the Rainbow

Many of you know that I am a big fan of tags - I think they are so much fun! One of my favorite bloggers, Aly from Seven Things Beauty, has created a super fun fun tag - The Colors of the Rainbow Tag.

February Favorites

Sorry for the delay! I started uni this week, plus I've worked quite a bit, but I've finally got them up! This month I've actually got a few new products that I was excited to test out, I found I loved, and have become much loved parts of my collection. I finally have some favorites that are different (and don't involve my Naked Palette!), and I'm quite excited to share them with you.

Holy Fail of The Week: BYS Shimmer Shine Pencil's

I am a big advocate of Australian brands - Australis, BYS, Face of Australia. You name it, I'm willing to try it, simply because I'm hoping to find the Australian version of Wet'n'Wild or NYX. I refuse to believe that some of the cheapest American cosmetic brands can have amazing quality, whilst our cheapest brands like BYS or Savvy by DB most often have one star product, amongst a range of 'duds'. Now, I've been quite fortunate with the BYS I've tried, with the blushes being a cult favorite amongst Aussie beauty bloggers and the lipsticks being amazing quality for the price. Unfortunately, these Shimmer Sticks were an ultimate fail in my book.

Holy Grail of the Week: Intense ShadowBlast (Review Included)

There have been many hyped-up products in the Australian beauty blogging community - new products from Aussie brands, or products from American brands that are finally reaching our shores. One of the products to finally hit the shores of Australia is the CoverGirl Intense ShadowBlast's: a liquid primer and eyeshadow in one. These tubes are filled with a shimmery hit of intense colour with brilliant staying power, packed into an amazing, multipurpose liquid.

Review and Swatches: Face Of Australia Limited Edition Mineral Therapy Illuminator in Angel Flame

A few months ago, the revamped Australis brand and their products were all the rage in the Australian beauty blogging community, and they still keep getting great reviews. However, at the moment, Face Of Australia is getting all the hype and praise. Mind you, this is well deserved. FOA have come out with some great products lately that I'm sure you've noticed, one of them being the Lip Quencher in Lychee Crush (review coming soon). Another amazing product, which I'm sure you've heard of, is the Mineral Therapy Illuminator, a range of liquid highlighters available in four shades to create a glowing complexion.
