Mini Priceline Haul & First Impressions xx

Australis

So today I took advantage of the 40% off at Priceline. If you haven't heard about this yet, it will still be going tomorrow!


Australis Velourlips in Tok-i-o
The main reason I got this is because Jessi from Jessi in Wonderland Blog raves about the vibrancy of these. Although she is right, they are very drying. I noticed that straight away, and to be honest I found it a bit difficult to get even coverage. I can look past that though as they are so bright! I love the purple! Easily fixed with a balm or gloss if I don't want the matte.

Models Prefer Infinite Colour Eye Pencil in Black Cat
This is so BLACK! and to make it a little more special, it has a sparse amount of glitter in it.
It is already starting to be one of my favorite Eyeliner Pencils.
It's very creamy on first impression, and after hearing it being raved about on Youtube, I thought I may try it. Lucky that I have!


Essence Get Big Lashes Mascara
I haven't tried this yet. But I got this as the wand is kind of similar to the Maybelline Colossal Mascara.
I was on a budget thanks to lovely darling fiance, so I thought I may try this.


Garnier BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin in Light
This was a re-purchase, if you follow the blog you know I already love this.
I have been mixing this with a couple drops of my Kett Cosmetics Foundation as it is a lot lighter than last time I brought it!

Face of Australia Face Base Primer
If you follow me already, you will know that I find primers a bit pointless. I have recently had very bad acne, and my pores are massive, and getting to the point they are stretched and hard to hide. Thought I may actually try a primer to fill them in before applying my BB Cream. I'll see how this goes.
Made a wee bit of a mistake as I got the one with SPF 15 and I do not like that cosmetics...

Hope you enjoyed my mini haul! 

Garnier Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz Serum xx

Garnier
 
 
This is a product I use almost everyday on my hair!
I don't include this in my professional hair kit, but I do use it on myself!
 

Why I love it!

I love this as it really does take the frizz out of hair!
I have a naturally dark brown curly hair, that is highly prone to frizz (especially after straightening) and no matter what the styling of my hair, it will take the frizz out!
 

Availability

This product is available to absolutely everyone as it is a drugstore brand!
You can pick this up typically anywhere that you would find Garnier products (Supermarkets, Priceline, Chemist, Online etc.)
 

Hair Types

This product is used for frizzy and unmanagble hair.
I wouldn't recommend anyone with Oily or Thin hair.
Thin hair is already light on and typically not frizzy and flat so this product doesn't need to be used on thin hair. It can be used on oily hair, but only apply on the lengths and not at the roots as it adds more oily to the hair and will make you look as though you haven't washed your hair in 3 weeks.
That's what I do as I have oily roots and dry ends!
 

Tip

When using the product, only apply a small amount.
roughly enough to cover the tip of your ring finger!
You only need a SMALL amount of serum's.
This is a common mistake that people make and their hair turns out to be very greasy and gross looking! Don't make the same mistake. Trust me! haha

Garnier Fructis Heat Protection Cream xx

Garnier

Just about everyday I am either straightening or blow drying my hair.
Which it's why it came at no surprise to me that my hair started drying out on the ends.
So on a hunt for protection for my hair, I came across this!

Most traditional ways of protecting heat from hair, is to use a spray.
But countless times I have had the sprays steam up and burn my head.
It isn't that fantastic I must say.

This is a very noticeable difference between sprays and this cream.
When you jump out of the shower, and towel dry your hair.
Rub some of this baby in your hair!
You don't need too much! Probably a squirt roughly the size of a 20c piece.

This will then protect your hair from blow drying!
And then continue to protect your hair when you continue to then straighten, curl, crimp etc.
You don't need to add a second amount, unlike a spray! and no more nasty burns on the scalp! :)

This lasts around roughly 72hours, it's anti-frizz, anti-static and anti-humidity!
So it's 4 products in one! Which saved me buying other products as well!
This really did work for me! I had pretty stubborn hair, and after straightening my hair looked lifeless. Now with this product, my hair is noticeably smoother after straightening!

And this is enriched with Phyto-Keratin and Argan Oil!
Be sure to buy this one !

Garnier BB Cream x

BB Cream
BB Creams

So it wasn't very long ago that I bought these 3 beauties.
These have been my no.1 in my make-up bag for a little whilst now.
But the middle BB Cream is the newest addition.
There are two types of BB Cream from Garnier, so we will start with the middle one.

BB Cream for Oily Skin

This one pictured is the BB Cream that is for me.
This one is different to the other two as this is intended for oily skin. It reduces the look of dark under eyes and can reduce the pores on your nose.
I have been using this for a month now as an alternative to foundation.
When I use this I find that the oiliness look to my skin is dramatically reduced.
And the mores on my nose are much less clogged and pimply.
I find that this works much better than a foundation! Hides most of my imperfection better than a normal foundation. Most will be in shock when I say this, but I have actually given up my CoverGirl! That's how much I love it!

Swatch

This is a swatch of the BB Cream for Oily Skin.
It is a very runny cream, so don't squeeze the tube too much as it will literally just pour out!
This particular swatch is in "light"
This is a little bit too light for my skin, but my pressed powder corrects that :)



This is my second type of BB Cream.
Although this one is aimed for more of dry skin types as is is basically just a tinted moisturizer. Except so much more better.
I don't really tend to use this too much as the light is too light and the medium is too dark, and well.. I cannot be bothered mixing to match every day! Yes I'm lazy.. haha
But I do use this on my forehead when it becomes dry from the warm weather.

Swatches of BB Cream. Top: Medium, Bottom: Light

These are the swatches of the normal BB Cream.
The bottom is light and the top medium.

Well.. That is all for this post.
