Update: Blog and youtube!

Hi everyone! So I thought I would do a little bit of an update post and let you know about my new youtube channel!

 

I haven't been posting as much as I would like to right now because I have so much school stuff going on! Studying and tests etc. I finish school in about 7 weeks so expect to see more posts coming up in the future! I hope you don't mind but I am trying to get at least one post a week! My next one might be a faves or something.

 

I was inspired by friends and youtubers to make my own channel! My channel is called KateElizabethBeauty and I currently only have 1 video up but I am hoping to be filming some more soon! Please check it out and like, comment and subscribe if you want to see more videos from me! I would love your support.

 

Thanks for reading and please follow for more posts :)

Review: Chi Chi Viva La Diva Lipsticks!

Hi! I feel as if I haven't blogged in so long and I have just been lacking some inspiration for my posts but I thought reviews are helpful and a good idea if you aren't sure what to write about!
Today is a review on the Chi Chi Viva La Diva lipsticks! I hope you enjoy!
 

 
I have two of the Chi Chi lipsticks from this line and I have the shades 'Hollywood Heiress' and 'Drop Dead Gorgeous'. First off, the packaging is so pretty and something different to your average 'drugstore' brand packaging. The lids are a smooth black case with a metallic/shiny magenta purple damask pattern on it. The bottom part of the tube is colour coded with the shade of the lipstick in an acrylic casing so you can see the colour. I love the packaging and seems very high end material and is sturdy. Definitely eye catching! They retail for around $25, I'm not entirely sure! You can get them from Farmers and Kmart in NZ and I think Priceline and Kmart in Australia.
 
The two that I have are different finishes but they are both very pigmented and stay on for a decent amount of time, which I think is great!
 
The shade 'Hollywood Heiress' is a cream finish so it applies very smoothly and is not drying at all. It has great pigmentation too. The colour is a gorgeous creamy intense peachy pink colour. Although it is quite bright and intense, I find it very wearable and I love matching this one to my top or something! It has great lasting power for a cream finish lipstick and doesn't show my dry patches on my lips too much.
 
The shade 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' is a matte finish and is a deep berry purple wine colour! So many names to describe it! It is something daring for me but I love it! It is a little bit drying because I have naturally dry lips with some dry patches but I use a lip balm underneath and it is creamy and doesn't feel too dry. This one is crazy pigmented  with no shine but I really love the colour, perfect for autumn and winter time!  

These lipsticks are probably some of the most pigmented lipsticks I have ever used and I love the shades I have! These were both a birthday gift form my friend Emma who also has a blog! Check it out here!!!
Overall these lipsticks are great quality and worth the money, if you aren't a fan of these shades, the line has so many other colours that I am sure you would be able to find something that is of your liking. They have a slight scent but nothing unbearable and I believe Chi Chi has glosses to match the lipstick line so if you don't like lipsticks, check out their matching lip glosses!!

I really hope you all found this review helpful and enjoyed :) Thanks for reading and follow for more posts! Hope you liked the lip swatches too!

My Spring Beauty Must Haves!

I love Spring! I have been wanting to do this post for ages! I am so glad Spring is here and Summer is coming too, although the weather isn't that great! I have some makeup that I love for Spring and use a lot this time of year.

 

 

 

 

 

Phoenix Custom Blend Foundation

I am a huge fan of lighter more fresh looking skin during Spring but I still want the coverage and this is perfect for that! This foundation is by Phoenix Cosmetics and is custom blended to match my skin tone really well! I am unsure of my shade because it is custom blended! It is in the dewy finish range for dryer skin which is great and it feels so light but covers so nicely!

BYS Blush in 'Coral'

This blush is pretty shimmery coral peach shade which I love for Spring! It makes my cheeks look so glowy and I love it! The colour is great for Spring too!!

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'Bold Gold'

I love gold eyeshadow for Spring! I have a review of this product on my blog, click here to check it out! I use this on my lid by itself or with another eyeshadow sometimes but if I am wearing eyeshadow - It will most likely be this!!

Revlon Lip Butter in 'Strawberry Shortcake', Nyx Round Lipstick in 'Fig', Nyx Butter Gloss in 'Peaches and Cream'

This little collection of lippies are my favourite for Spring because they are pink and peach and perfect! Hehe, The Revlon lip butter is great when I want a more pink, super quick lip fix! The nyx lippies are a great combination because the lipstick is a bright pink which is great to spice up my makeup look for that day and the lipgloss makes it more glossy and tastes yum too!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Perfume - Sunshine (Limited Edition)

I absolutely adore the packaging on this perfume! It is gorgeous and cute! I love the flowers - too cute! I don't know how to describe this perfume but it's perfect and fresh and girly, I love it and I hope some of you managed to get your hands on it before they stopped selling it!

Hope you enjoyed! Let me know what your Spring must haves are and if you have tried any of the products I have mentioned! Please comment and follow :) thanks for reading!

My Go- To Everyday Makeup!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream, Benefit Fake Up, Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder, Mac Bronzing Powder 'Refined Golden', Mac Blush 'Well Dressed'.

Maybelline Colossal Mascara, Mac Eyeshadow 'Wedge', Calvin Klein Eyeshadow 'Artic'

Maybelline Whisper Lipstick 'Lust for Blush'.

Today's post is another MOTD post which i have to say are probably my fave ones to write! This one is my Go- To everyday makeup look which is super simple but  little different to my first Makeup of the Day! I hope you enjoy and let e know what your everyday products are!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream: Light

This product i have mentioned before but i applied this all over my skin to even out my skin tone and it is so refreshing! i love it!

Benefit Fake Up Concealer: Light

I have talked about about this concealer too many times but I literally use it every day! I love it to cover my under eye circles!

Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder: Light Plus

This powder is probably my new favourite product! I used this all over my face to add a tiny but more coverage and set my makeup! It is so nice to keep your makeup matte!

Mac Bronzing Powder: Refined Golden

I used this gorgeous golden shimmery bronzer on my temples, cheek bones and jaw line to add a nice glow to my skin and warm up my skin tone so i don't look so fair.

Mac Blush: Well Dressed

This blush is seriously so amazing! It is a sheer baby pink with shimmer and looks so great on the cheeks! I just applied this to the apples of my cheeks and a little bit further towards my ears to give a pretty pink hint to my cheeks.

Mac Eyeshadow: Wedge

This is what i put in my crease of my eye to add some natural depth and it is a matte cool toned brown! I also fill in my eyebrows with this a little bit to fill in any sparse spots and make them more defined.

Calvin Klein Eyeshadow: Artic

I applied this in my inner corners to brighten up my eyes a little because this is a pretty white shimmery colour.

Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Mascara: Black

I applied a few coats of this mascara to my top and bottom lashes and this made them BAM! Haha it really holds the curl and makes my lashes stand out.

Maybelline Whisper Lipstick: Lust for Blush

This is one of my favourite lipsticks for everyday! It is a simple nude pink colour but it is really creamy and moisturising on my lips! Love this lipstick for any look!


So this is the end of my MOTD post! I hope you enjoyed this post and hopefully I end up doing some more exciting makeup looks so there are a few more interesting products to talk about! Sometimes i wear less and skip the BB cream and bronzer but it is fun! Thanks for reading and please take the time to comment your everyday products! Please follow to be updated about when i post!

Chilly Shopping Day!

I love going shopping! Not necessarily to buy things all the time but just browsing and spending time with friends and of course having a coffee or two! Today i went to a place that has a great selection of cafes, op shops and little nik nak stores! My favourite kind of shopping is when i find heaps of bargains which was a plus about today's trip! 

It was a little chilly outside today but in my opinion, these are the best days to get out of the house and him some shops! I went the Salvation Army and picked myself up a big thick knitted jumper for $7.50! How awesome is that! I love a great bargain, and although op shopping can be difficult to find something you like, it so fun just to see what they have because you might spot something! I couldn't get a pic of this one as it is in the wash at the moment but you might see it in future posts!


After we had looked at a few of the shops, we went to a nice cafe called 'Caffiend' It has delicious cakes and slices but i decided to just stick with an iced coffee! It was so nice and filled me up for the afternoon! I love grabbing a coffee with friends because it is a great way to chat and catch up with one another! 

We went to this cute little store called Trade Aid and it had so many little nick nacks and little decoration bits and pieces! I had to get something from here! I bought a little bell/wind chime (thing)! It had a rustic horse shoe hanging off it with 3 little bells too! It was so cute and i felt my bedroom needed something a little different! I love my little purchase, I can't wait to get it up in my room! And it was only $10! 

Ooh! I love a new pair of shoes and i spotted these at the Number One Shoe Warehouse for $20! That is a great bargain and these are little brown booties with a silver buckle kind of detail on the side! They are actually super comfy and I haven't bought new shoes in so long! I couldn't say new to these as they were just what I was looking for! 

I love jars! Is it just me? But they are so great for putting beads and little candles in or anything really! I got this little one from Briscoes for $5, which is a little bit more than i would have liked to pay but it was a spare of the moment decision! I love it, and it looks nice on my little drawer unit!

I had such an incredible day out with my friend Emma, who also has a fabulous blog with lots of little blog posts! I love this gal and she does great posts so check her out!! So fun shopping with Emma and I love having a coffee with her! Click here to read her blog! 

Thanks for reading and i hope you are liking these little shopping/day posts! I love recapping about my day and it reminds me about what a great day I had! Thanks to Emma for a fab day! Let me know what your favourite place to find bargains are, and comment your blog address so i can check it out.

Sepetmeber Favourites! Mac, Maybelline, Chi Chi

Hi! It is that time again, favourites time!! This is going to be my September Favourites post and I actually only have a few items! I don't want to be repeating products too much so I thought I would share with you a couple that I haven't mentioned a whole lot.

 

September has been a bit of a stressful month, we finished the school term this past week and I have many tests  going on so I have been focussing on those quite a bit! But now I am on two weeks of holiday to relax and prepare myself for the crazy term ahead.. exams.. woo!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation: Shade 120

 

I have been into the more flawless finish look this month but nothing too heavy, and this foundation has done just that! I have a feeling this is a bit dark but I made sure to blend blend blend! It covered my redness and spots quite nicely and I have been using it a lot this month!

 

 

Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eyeshadow: Bold Gold - Review

 

I have been loving doing gold eyes this month to change it up a bit from just mascara! I love this eyeshadow because it woks on its own or with another product which is what I have done here and it is creamy and pigmented! I did a review on these eyeshadows if you are interested, click here.

 

Mac Lustre Eyeshadow: Retrospeck

 

I adore this eyeshadow! It is a gorgeous light shimmery gold that looks amazing over the top of the Maybelline eyeshadow! It is such a pretty gold colour and I use it so much! It has been a must for my gold eyeshadow looks this month.

 

Chi Chi Viva La Diva Lipstick: Drop Dead Gorgeous

 

I love this lipstick because it isn't a colour a tend to wear but it is so pretty and is the perfect deep pinky purple colour! This lipstick is a matte finish but I don't find it to be drying at all and it look awesome with a simple neutral eye look! I mentioned this product in my 'Winter Makeup Must Haves' post  so check that out here!

 

Those are my September Faves! I hope you all enjoyed this post and make sure to let me know in the comments what your September Favourites are! Thanks for reading! Make sure to follow me, I have another MOTD post coming your way this week!
