Summer lips

This summer I have really been digging bright lips. After my Coral Polish post, it'll be no surprise that my love for coral has eased it's way into my lipstick collection. Here are a few of the lippies that I've been wearing a lot on my lips lately. I've already posted about most of these so I wont to into too much detail.



Australis Colour Inject mineral lipstick - Honky Tonk. This is the sheerest out of these lipsticks. It was the first corally coloured lippy I got. It's a really wearable light pink coral and can be made more opaque with a heavier application. For such a cheap lipstick it has a surprisingly good wear time (contrary to what my first post on it said, I need to remember to use products more before blogging about them, haha) and will easily last through a 3 hour shift at work (yes, I do those...) and still look great.  See more here.

Sportsgirl Pout about It lipstick - Catwalk Queen - This is an almost fluro pink colour. It's so bright and out there, and is super fun to wear. See review here.

MAC - Vegas Volt. This was my first MAC lippy, and I love love love this colour. It's the perfect orangey colour when you don't want to look too outrageous. It's an amplified finish. See more here.

Innoxa - Watermelon. This is my most recent lippy and the colour is pretty much exactly what the name suggests - a bright pink watermelon colour. This is part of Innoxas summer mattes range, so it is literally made for summer.

Covergirl - Fairytale. I love covergirl lippies because they're super long lasting. This one is matte, bright pink with a hint of coral. I was lucky enough to receive this in a blog swap, and it doesn't look like it's currently available in Australia.

(l-r) Honkey Tonk, Catwalk Queen, Vegas Volt, Watermelon, Fairytale

Not shown - Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait. I wanted to add this because I love it as a subtle peachy colour, but I seem to have misplaced it. Hopefully I can find it soon!

Sale haul pt 2.

The second half of my sale haul came in the mail recently. I ordered some things from Priceline while they had free shipping and double points (and went into the store and bought a bit more the next day, woops), and also bought some polishes from Gloss N' Sparkle when they had their post-Christmas sale.



What I bought online:
Bourjois Clubbing Waterproof Eyeliner. I originally wanted to buy Rimmel's Scandal'Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner, but the black one had sold out. I decided, after looking at a few reviews, to get Bourjois clubbing eyeliner instead.  I paid $14.70 for this.
Maybelline Colorama nail colour in Marshmellow. I'd been after a white polish for a while, and got this without looking at swatches. This is more of a pearl colour than white, and although I haven't used it yet I doubt I'm going to like the colour.
Priceline Eyelash Curler. I've been meaning to get an eyelash curler for a while, so I finally decided to get one. This was $6.29, and does the job.
Essence My Base illuminating make up base (which I forgot to photograph, whoops, sorry!!) . I've been looking at Benefits That Gal for a while, but was reluctant to spend $30 on something I wasn't sure about. This is the same kind of product. It was a bit pricey for an Essence product, at $7.50. Used under makeup it gives me a little bit of an Edward Cullen look, which I'm not actually that upset about. It does an ok job at being a primer, but it's probably not something I'll pay $7.50 for again.

What I bought in store:
Innoxa Summer Matte Watermelon. This was in a sale bin for $7.95, so I snapped it up right away. I've been wanting to try Innoxa's lipsticks for a while and this is a colour I love. I'll post a swatch of this later in the week.
Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch highlighting concealer. This is my second concealer (my other is a NBN one that I'm not a fan of). I only use it for under my eyes, and this works like a dream (haha!). I wouldn't have bought this full price but I do really like it. I paid $12.56 for it.
Swissper Aloe Wipes. I needed some new makeup remover wipes, after I powered through my last lot because they made my skin sting. These ones aren't much better unfortunately.

Polishes from Gloss N' Sparkle:
Unicorn Droppings and They did the Monster Mash.

Unicorn Droppings seems to be one of Gloss n' Sparkle's most popular polishes, with it's white base with colourful glitters, and They did the Monster Mash is a lovely blue with lots of green, purple and black glitters of all shapes and sizes. So far I've only gotten to try out Unicorn Droppings, and I'm a little bit dissapointed. I'll be sure to do a post when I get a chance to use They did the Monster Mash too.
