Maybelline 8-in-1 BB Cream xx

So today in the mail I received my samples of the Maybelline 8-in-1 BB Cream. I got this product recommended to me by another blogger for Oily Skin BB Creams. So when I saw this on Facebook...


I though meh I will register and hope my samples come and well they did :)


I've had a bit of a play with it so far. All my samples are in Medium-Light which is a bit too dark for me. It's actually close to my summer-time colour, and I'm still pretty tan skinned throughout the whole year.


In this swatch I had rubbed it in a bit on the bottom and it's got a bit too dark of a yellow undertone for me personally. I don't think this would be suitable for oily skin as it has way to much of a shine to it in the sun... And it does feel very greasy. I am still considering purchasing a full size and testing it over summer, but if I feel it's greasy already it may be a bit of a miss otherwise I will be touching up with a translucent powder throughout the day which I have already touched up once over this past two hours...

What are your thoughts on this, especially if you have oily skin? I would love to know so I can make up my mind whether or not to purchase the full size or stick with my Garnier!! :)

Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer 001 (Sample Size) xx

 
I never use primer for everyday wear, but I do use it for nights out (just incase my girls take random selfies, as all idiots do ;) haha just kidding)
Primer is great for acheiving a nice smooth look to the skin before applying your foundation!

 
This Primer is great for anyone that is concearned about appling silicone to the skin.
A typical primer will be a clear which indicated a high content of Silicone.
This primer had a creamy pink, so it is not quite as high in silicone!
 
But I wouldn't recommend to wear primers often unless it's set into a foundation.
This is because Primer tends to make the make-up on the face, "slip"
But other than that, it's a good product for achieving flawless skin!


Shopping Day - On Behalf of my Birthday! xx

Today I took a little trip over to Warni as I had a TAFE Open Day.
I took a look at an amazing course, and had a look around the facilities. It was fab.
Whilst there I took the chance to catch up with my last Make-Up Teacher, Stace. Knowing typical Stace, and being full of surprises, she had a little gift for me, since I placed first in a contest with TAFE. I love gifts :) x



For winning first place I received this little bundle of Napoleon Perdis Joy!
As you can tell, it is filled with Goodies!


It came with a notepad and pencil. A few samples (pictured above)... and of course, (if you follow our Facebook and Twitter, you'd already know..) A brand new brush set! (pictured below)


I must say, these brushes were well needed as my last ones were on the way out!
They came in a cute little zip shut pocket brush holder, amazingly it fold up to be a cute little stand. I think it's adorable, and I'm not 100% sure, but it is either a leather or fake leather :) so it's definitely a cutie pie of a holder! BEST PRIZE EVER!


Of course, whilst in town.. I took a little bargain hunt around the mall!
I got these cute little cheapies above from Kmart! I love the colour and they are fairly comfy!


I brought a cheap as eyelash curler from K-Mart as well!
I needed one so I hit it cheap! Isn't actually a bad eyelash curler for $8 :) xx 


And whilst on a visit, I took a stop into Strangbags, and got this cute little Handbag for roughly $37.00 on Sale! It's by a brand named Bluebird, which I have brought a hundred purses and bags from! Such a great quality for a low price :) Oh and adorable! Did I mention that? haha
