Pink Lady

There is one lipstick in particular that just can't escape my attention at the moment and that is M.A.C Chatterbox. I've been wearing it hear there and everywhere! This is a case of lipstick I brought quite a while ago, wore once, and promptly ignored. Now it is making a come back in a big way!

Chatterbox is one of M.A.C's Amplified Creme formulas which I LOVE ( kept in good company by Girl About Town and Vegas Volt) - the texture is sublime. Creamy and non-drying while packing a punch of colour, it doesn't get much better than that in my book. 

It's definitely love at second sight.

I've got six Back 2 M.A.C empty packagings lined up and ready to exchange for a new lippie, hit me with your favourite M.A.C shades please! I can't decide!

Sephora Wish List

I've been spending a disproportionate amount of time scouring the Sephora website lately, both cursing the Australian mark up on beauty items ( and everything in general really!) as well as drooling over the things I will soon get my hands on.

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar US$39.00

I have wanted to try one of Bobbi Brown's shimmer bricks forever, they all look so damn pretty. I especially love this colour.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance US$18.00

While I love Urban Decays Priming Potion and will be repurchasing, I really want to try out Too Faced's version as it is able to be purchased in Australia. Oh, and I really just like trying new things. 

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray US$23.00

Never will I give up my dream of achieving the perfect summer beach hair. The fact that all surf sprays I have previously tried have left my hair in a matted mess does not deter me from reaching my goal ha ha!

NARS Moni Body Glow II US$59.00

If you were reading my old blog posts last summer you would know that  bronzed and glowy skin is the aim of my game. I have wanted to try this for ages, but that $100.00 Mecca price tag has done a stellar job of putting it off. 

What products are you waiting to get your hands on ? Anything you've had your eye on for a while?

Covergirl Lash Blast Luxe

I'm not picky when it comes to mascara, as long as it doesn't smudge or flake halfway down my face I'm a happy camper. I tend to buy a few of the same brand over and over before moving on to another and doing the same thing!


Cover Girls' Lash Blast mascara generally gets good reviews in blogging circles and seeing as it can often be picked up around the $15 mark on sale it is a a good staple.


 Having been through a few Lash Blast's I thought I would mix it up a little when I saw Cover Girl's Lash Blast Luxe at Priceline. The colour I brought is called Black Platinum.


Cover Girl says :-

The blackest black LashBlast formula, now tinted with Luxe shimmers. The giant Luxe brush helps blast lashes to their biggest, boldest, and most beautifully shimmering. In 4 shades, ready to match your every mood.

You better believe the promise of shimmering lashes sucked me in. Advertising, you have succeeded once again! 

The packaging is pretty standard, no surprises here.

 I like the type of wand that is used for Lash Blast, I find the silicone doesn't get as clumpy and separates better. 


This product delivered what I have come to expect from Lash Blast being thick, separated lashes. But did they shimmy shimmy shimmer? I'm afraid to say I couldn't notice any shimmer at all! 


I've since noticed that this product comes in a few different shades like Black Emerald which supposedly gives a hint of green shimmer and I guess this would be more noticeable, but I didn't see these is stock when I brought this.


Overall a good mascara and I didn't loose out by purchasing a different variation, and will probably try a different shade next time. 

Makeup Staple

The end of summer has come and gone and with cooler weather on the way I am more inclined to get back into wearing my red lipsticks rather than a slick of gloss. 

With red lips comes high maintenance to make sure you are still looking smoking hot all night long baby! 

Apart from the usual light exfoliation of the lips and making sure they are well moisturised before applying lippie, a lot of people turn to a lip liner that is similar in colour to your lipstick to define the lips and help stop the colour from bleeding out or feathering. Now this works well for most beauty babes but I am one who lives in fear of my lipstick wearing off leaving a ghastly lip liner outline!

Last year I found an awesome product that is now a staple in my makeup kit. Introducing DuWop's Reverse Lip Liner!

Reverse Lipliner is a colourless matte liner that can be used to shape the lips and stop colour bleeding. Being colourless this is suitable to use with all your lipsticks meaning you won't have to buy so many different colour liners!

It goes on very smooth without tugging the skin as you draw it on and leaves no noticeable outline. 

While being a lot thicker in size than most liners I have not had any problems with application. Added bonus: It actually works! Using this together with a lip brush to apply lipstick I get precise application that I can be proud of ;)

If you are finding it hard to find a suitable liner to match your lipstick I suggest you give this a try.

You can pick this product up from Mecca Cosmetica. From memory it cost around the $30 mark and was packaged with a sharpener which was handy.
