Disappointing Products #1

I really don't like to say that these products are disappointing, it's just that this was easier to say rather than "Products that I'd thought I'd like, the I tried them and they just didn't agree with me #1". Phew. I bought these products thinking they would be great. However when I tried them out, I just didn't like them.

Face of Australia Liquid Illuminator, Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, Revlon Colorburst Balm in Charm, and Rimmel ScandalEyes Eyeliner.

Firstly, the Face of Australia Mineral Therapy Illuminator in Angel Mist, this is something I regret purchasing. Why did I buy this!? You get 50ml for some ridiculously cheap price so that's probably why I thought I'd give it a go. It's super runny and the shimmer doesn't show on your skin. Not a fan. Next, the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. Everyone but me seems to love this. Whenever I wore this, my face turned into an oil slick. Plus, I bought the lightest shade which is still way to dark for me. But on the plus side, that packaging is so darn pretty, maybe that's why I bought it. Such a shame. Next, the Revlon Colorburst Balm in Charm. Unintentional rhyming by the way! Now it's not all of the balms I don't like, it's just this colour. The rest of the balms are amazing! It's just that this colour does nothing on my lips. I thought it would give me a nude lip colour but, I can't see any colour at all. Lastly, the Rimmel ScandelEyes Eyeliner. The only reason I don't like this eyeliner is the felt tip. This one isn't a smooth as some others so it just tugs in my eyelids. This means my eyeliner is messier than usual. Bummer.

Do you agree with me on these products or do you love them? Let me know if you have any tips for making these products work better. Have a fabulous day!

REVIEW | Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms

THEY HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED IN STORES IN AUSTRALIA! Oh the joy! I have been waiting for these bad boys for months and I could not contain my excitement when I saw them at where  I work. I was so tempted to get them all but I restrained myself and picked out a few that I fell in love with straight away. I ended up getting Standout (berry red), Sultry (dark dusky pink), and Elusive (light dusky pink).

Top to bottom; Standout, Sultry and Elusive

I give these bad boys a huge thumbs up! They feel amazing on the lips and I just love the matte texture. They still have the minty smell like the originals, which I'm not a huge fan of but I can deal with it. The colour range is great with colours ranging from bright oranges for summer to the dusky colours for winter. Next time I get one, I'm going to go out on a limb and pick up the bright purple one! 

Have you got your hands on these beautiful babies yet? Let me know which ones are your favourite!

Empties No.1

I feel like these past months i've gone through so much stuff it's crazy! I've just finished my 3 months holiday so that allowed me time to use up all my products. A lot of this is just general stuff I use, not too exciting!

First are my 2 empty packets of cotton wipes, I use these everyday so I go through these so quickly. Same as the Simple Cleansing Wipes as there are 3 packets of those. I haven't tried any other wipes out but these ones do the job and don't irritate my skin like when I tried the orange Nutrogena ones. I have an empty bottle of the Biore Steam Activated Cleanser. I had this for a while before I used it as you can tell because this is the old packaging. I bought another one but it doesn't feel the same as the old one, but I think they're still the same formula which is weird. I have an empty bottle of my favourite Cutex nail polish remover, already stocked up on another 2 bottles! The Clinique Take the Day Off is the best at removing my eye makeup. It can be a bit greasy at times but it does the job so why complain? I bought another one but I'm also trying out the Bioderma as everyone and their Grandma talks about this stuff!

I have 2 empty Lush pots, saving these to take in to get my free face mask! The first is their Herbalism Cleanser which I found to be alright though I hated the smell. It smelled like nature (don't laugh!). I'm just not a big fan of that smell. The other one is the Let The Good Times Roll Cleanser. It was a Christmas product so i stocked up on a another one before they sold out. These aren't recommended for oily skin but I don't use it every night. It makes your skin feel baby smooth and you smell like caramel popcorn! I have a travel sized Body Shop Shower Gel in Madagascan Vanilla, which I took away with me when I went to Melbourne. Usually i don't like vanilla smells but I loved this one. I got another one of these for Christmas that I'm saving for another trip. Lastly I have the Girlz Only Dry Shampoo for Brunette. This is a really cheap alternative for Batiste and it works amazing! I want to try out the Batiste but they're always out of the brunette one at Priceline.

This post isn't the most exciting of posts but I thought I would show you guys the stuff I've used up which is what I generally use on an every day basis.
