Review and Swatches: BYS Blush in Coral

This blush was another prize I won from Hannah's 100 follower giveaway. This was another prize I was particularly excited to win, because Coral is a blush that is somewhat raved about in the Aussie beauty blogging community, and I now know why.

Holiday Nail Polish Haul Part 2: OPI

From Left to Right: Gone Gonzo!, Gettin' Miss Piggy With It, Fresh Frog of Bel Air - true colours

I'm a big fan of OPI nail polishes, and it seems like the majority of the beauty blogging community are too, so when I saw the New OPI Muppets Holiday 2011 Holiday Collection, I knew I had to have it. The collection was released to celebrate the release of the Muppets movie, and contains 6 glitter polishes and 6 shimmers. I originally only liked the three I purchased, with the other glitters similar to those I already have and the others I deemed to be nothing special, but after reviewing other swatches, I will definitely be sourcing the silver and rose gold shimmers.

Review: Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector (BB Cream)

When I won Hannah's 100 follower giveaway, one of the things I was most excited to try was the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector, or Australia's first drugstore version of a BB Cream. BB creams have been all the rage in the beauty community lately, and the reviews I heard about this product were mixed, so I was excited to finally try it for myself.

Nail Of The Day: Black Crackle

I got this Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish polish (in 025 Strawberry Fizz) in a pack, and had not used it before yesterday. I think it is such a gorgeous baby pink, and to only add to the adorable-ness of this product, it is scented! The package claims that when dried, the polish has a fruit scent, and I could really smell a (artificial) candy fruit smell on my nails, which lingered onto the following day. I topped it off with the OPI Black Shatter coat and my Sally Hansen top coat.

Beauty Down Under's Giveaway Haul!

When I was told that I had won Hannah's 100 follower giveaway, I was ecstatic! I've never one anything before, and her's was one of the first blogs I'd began to follow, not to mention the prizes were amazing. 

Major Haul - 15 items for $55: Bourjois, Covergirl and More

Every six months or so, there is a cosmetics warehouse sale near where I live. The brands there are Max Factor, Covergirl, Bourjois, Essence, Ulta3 and Elite Professional. The best part is that nothing is over $10! Now there isn't the latest products or the best variety of shades and colours, but there is enough of a range of items that everyone will certainly find things they will like.

Holiday Nail Polish Haul Part 1: China Glaze

From left to right: Holly-day, Glittering Garland, Twinkle Lights, Snow Globe

I've never used a China Glaze polish before, but after hearing so many great things about the brand in general, I've been wanting to give them a shot for a while. When I saw the China Glaze Let It Snow 2011 Holiday Collection, I knew I had to make these the beginning of my collection! There are so many beautiful shades that just scream 'Christmas' (or holiday season in general) to me, so I had to limit myself to four, but there are two more I'm debating about getting.
