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!

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!

A tutorial: Peachy Browns!

A Tutorial: Peachy Browns!

I am so excited about this post because it is my first tutorial! Today I am going to be showing you an eyeshadow look that involves peachy tones and warm browns which I think are very appropriate for both Autumn and Spring. I was just experimenting with my eyeshadows and found a nice combination that I think work really well together so I hope you enjoy this tutorial and let me know if you think I should do more!

Lets begin!

First you want to apply a base for your eyeshadows, I used a Maybelline colour tattoo eyeshadow called 'Inked in Pink'. This has nice champagne undertones to it which will help to make the next colour POP! I applied this all over my lid and a little bit into the crease as we will be applying shadows to these areas.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo: 'Inked in Pink', Mac Eyeshadow 'Ricepaper', 'Wedge' and YSL Eyeshadow Quad.

Next take a shimmery champagne eyeshadow all over your eyelid over the top of that base colour. I used Mac's eyeshadow in the shade 'Ricepaper'. This is more a yellowy toned colour but with the pink base it created a bit of a peach colour.

Now take a matte brown shadow and blend this well into your crease and a bit above. This will help to blend the colour together and add a little bit of depth to the look. Make sure it is subtle but can be noticed. I used mac's eyeshadow in 'Wedge'. This is more of a cool toned brown but you could used warm tones if you prefer. This balances out the warm tones of the different eyeshadows.

Now to add depth to the eyeshadow look, apply a warm toned deep brown to your crease and outer corner. I used the brown colour on the left of my YSL eyeshadow quad. I think the warm tone mixed with pink and champagne colours makes it peachy coloured.

You can apply mascara now if you want to make it less deep and smokey but I used a smokey blackish grey eyeliner and applied this to upper and lower lashline and then I used a little eyeliner brush to smudge it and this made it smokey. I used a BYS eyeliner in black but you can use any eyeliner you fancy!

Now just apply a couple coats of your favourite mascara, I used (yeah you guessed it) my Maybelline colossal mascara after I curled my eyelashes.

For the lips, I went with a simple glossy nude pink which I thought complemented this look but you can use whatever colour you want! Even peach which I think would look great! I decided on Mac's 'Crème Cup' lipstick and Mac's Lipglass in 'Cultured' to top it off!

I really hope you liked this post and try out this look! You don't need to use the eyeshadows I used if you don't have them. They aren't super unique colours and I am sure you could find them from another brand!

Thanks for reading and link me your blogs in the comments if you want me to check it out. Follow for more posts!!

Girls Shopping Day! Coffee, Mac, Glassons

Hello! I feel as if I haven't done a post in such a long time but today I will be writing a few so I can schedule them to upload them during the week! This is going to be a little recap on what I did the other day and also a few goodies that I bought while I was out with a friend.

 

Recently I went into town with one of my best friends, Emma! She has her own blog and I really love it. Click here to check it out, she writes awesome blog posts and is such a down to earth gal! 

We spent the day browsing the shops, admiring all the Mac makeup and maybe buying one or two things and drinking coffee! It was so much fun!

 

We first went to the Mac counter as I wanted to take a look at something I have had my eye on! I was so tempted to buy everything insight but it is so expensive I don't think that would have happened. I was looking for a good face powder that would set my makeup but something I could also wear on its own, without too much coverage! I found the perfect product that ticks all those boxes!

 

I bought the Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder

One of the ladies at the counter tried it on me to make sure the colour matched and it was what I was looking for, the artists who work there are always so lovely and willing to help! I love going there, even if it is just to browse!

 

 

 

Mac Studio Careblend Pressed Powder: Light Plus

 

 

 I am really excited about this new product and it feels so nice on the skin! As if I wasn't wearing any makeup at all! That is all I bought I Mac, I didn't feel as if I needed to buy any more, although I would have liked to of course! We had spent a pretty decent amount of time at Mac so we were in need of a coffee!

 

We went to Starbucks for a drink because we not only love Starbucks but we both had a free drink so that was a bonus! We both got a Coffee Frappuccino and it is now one of my favourite drinks! Good recommendation Emma!

 

We later went to Glassons which is a clothing store here in New Zealand, they had an amazing sale on all of there winter stuff because we have now gone into Spring here and I couldn't say no to a cute cardigan they had on sale!

 

This is a cream and black, striped, knitted, oversized cardigan (how many more adjectives is there to say) that was down from $59 to $20! How awesome is that?? I had to get it as I down have many cardigans or jackets and this one would be great for the colder weather we are having at the moment, plus it was super cheap!

 

 

I had the best day out shopping and drinking coffee!! I haven't done it in a while to be honest and it was such a fun day! Hope you all enjoyed this post, it was a little different to my usual ones but I thought it was about time to switch it up a bit!

Thanks for reading!

MOTD: Winter Makeup - Purple Lips!

Hello! Today's post is another MOTD! I love doing these posts because they are so fun to share your makeup for the day and i love getting inpsiration. I did one last week and i got some lovely feedback from a fellow beauty blogger called Lorraine , thank you for the lovely comment!

Although it's Spring here in New Zealand, the weather has been really cold and rainy! So i took advantage of the rubbish weather and went with a more 'Winter' like makeup look. I decided to go with neutral eyes and purple lips, the lips were a bit daring for me but i love them! I hope you enjoy!

Here are a few pictures of the products and the makeup look:

From the left: BYS Pressed Powder, Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, Benefit Fake Up Concealer, Nars Blush 'Amour', Mac Bronzing Powder, 'Refined Golden'

Eyeshadows from left: Mac 'Retrospeck', Mac 'Wedge', Mac 'Sable'
Eyeliner: Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner 'Black'
Mascara: Maybelline Colossal Mascara 'Black'

From Left: Chi Chi viva la diva lipstick 'Drop Dead Gorgeous', Mac Lipglass 'Cultured'

Face:

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation: Shade 120

This foundation is my go to when i want a little bit more coverage than my BB cream, i really love how this foundation doesn't show my dry skin patches on my face and it it applies really nicely on my skin.

Benefit Fake Up Concealer: Sade Light 01

I am pretty sure i have mentioned this concealer in almost all of my blog posts! I'm sorry but this concealer is a dream! It is amazing because it covers my dark circles so well and yet still looks natural, i really love this and i use it every single day.

BYS Powder: Shade Medium

I use this powder whenever i wear makeup to be honest! It is currently my only pressed powder and it is so easy and quick! I have a loose powder but i find that pressed versions are so much quicker and less messy! It sets my makeup really nicely, although I have dry skin, if I don't set my makeup it just doesn't last! Love it!

Mac Bronzing Powder: 'Refined Golden'

Again, i have mentioned this in so many posts but I use this so much! I love it to add a little bit of depth to my makeup look and it always makes my skin so glowy! If you want any more information on this product, check out my other blog posts!

Nars Blush: 'Amour'

I absolutely adore this blush, not only because it is my only Nars blush and that it is so luxurious (hehe) but because it is the most perfect deeper peachy pink colour! I also like how it is matte because it makes your makeup look a little more natural. I applied this to the apples of my cheeks!

Eyes:

Mac Eyshadows: 'Retrospeck', 'Wedge', 'Sable'

I love 'Retrospeck', it is a really pretty light champagne colour with glitter and it use it so much, it goes well with so many looks! I put this all over  my lid and a little on my inner corner to brighten up my eyes. Mac 'Wedge' is hands down my favourite blending colour for the crease. It is so easy to use and adds subtle depth to the eye! 'Sable' by Mac is also a favourite of mine, i mentioned this in my Top 5 Mac Products post too! This is a pretty copperish brown with shimmer! I used this in my crease and outer corner for some depth. 

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner: Black

This liquid liner is BOMB! I really love how easy this eyeliner is to apply especially because it is my first liquid liner and it is so easy! I used this just along my lash line but no wing!

Maybelline Colossal Mascara: Black

I swear i have put this in every post, it is an incredible volumizing mascara and i applied a couple coats to my upper and lower lashes!

Lips:

Chi Chi Viva La Diva Lipstick: 'Drop Dead Gorgeous'

This lisptick is a matte darker pinky purple colour, i love it although it is a little daring, it is wearable and such a pretty colour! I loved this to add a bit of something different to my makeup look.

Mac Lipglass: 'Cultured'

This is a gorgeous shimmery neutral pink colour with a little bit of a purple tinge to it so it went well over the top of the lipstick. I used a little bit of this to add some gloss and shine to the lips! 

So that is today's post, I really enjoyed writing this and i hope you enjoyed reading it! If you would like a review of any of the products, let me know in the comments and also let me know what your favourite winter lipsick is and maybe some feefback on my post?

My Top 5 MAC Products!

Hey everyone!

 

This post is my top five MAC products! I love Mac and always want to know about more of their great items, I thought this post would be a good way to share mine! I hope you enjoy this post and let me know in the comments what your top five Mac products are or maybe what you want to try!

 

I am a huge lover of Mac! It is definitely one of my favourite brands because it is amazing quality, although it is expensive, I love to treat myself once in a while.

 

I have a had a look through my makeup and have decided on five of my fave items! It was a little difficult because I wanted to stick to just five when really I love so many more too! These are the products that I use most out of my collection so I hope you like it!

 

 

1. Mac Bronzing Powder 'Refined Golden' - You may have seen a  few of my other blog posts about this bronzer. I talk about it a lot because it is amazing! It is a gorgeous golden bronze powder with gold shimmer but when you apply it gives you a subtle hint of bronze to your cheekbones. I use my Real Techniques Powder Brush with this and it goes on so well, I just apply it to my cheekbones, a little further back from my blush and it look very natural but glowy! I love it!

2. Mac Blush 'Well Dressed' - I have also posted about this blush a few times too! This is a the perfect light baby pink with subtle shimmer. It looks very natural and has a sheer colour. I really like how easy and blendable this blush is and it always looks perfect! I never feel like I can go overboard with this colour because it is so light! I use this all the time and really recommend it.
3. Mac Eyeshadow 'All that glitters' - This the perfect pinky champagne colour, it has gorgeous shimmer and is so pigmented. It is a veluxe pearl finish and I think this gives it a great smooth texture when applied! It was my first mac product I ever bought and I really love how easy this colour is! It looks great all over the lid by itself or with another deeper colour in the crease. Love it!
4. Mac Eyeshadow 'Sable' - This is a favourite for many people and me too! This is a beautiful red brown colour with nice shimmer and so perfect for Autumn. It is a beautiful colour when used for smokey eyes and I can't wait to come up with the perfect look with this! It has some shimmer in it with I think make it stand out more and help reflect the light more!
   
5. Mac Lipstick 'Crème Cup' - This lipstick is my only Mac lipstick but I am so glad it is this one! I really love this lipstick because it is a pretty everyday colour that looks so natural but polished. It is the perfect nude pink colour and is so creamy and has a pretty sheen to it! I use this a lot when I just need a simple nude pink lip! It is amazing!
   

Those are my top five Mac products and I really want to know what yours are! Comment your favourites and if you haven't tried Mac, what do you want to check out? I really hope you liked this post, I haven't seen many like this but I thought it would be a good idea! Thanks for reading, please comment your blog too and also follow me to show your support!

My Makeup Wishlist!

Hi girls!

I haven't really had chance to write an in depth post with pictures this week so I had a thought and decided to share with you my makeup wishlist! I am going to be writing a list of products that I have had my eye on for a little while. I hope you enjoy reading and make sure to let me know in the comments what is on your wishlist!

 

I have quite a few items I have my eye on so here we go:

 

• Mac Powder Blush 'Trace Gold' - this is a gorgeous golden colour blush with lovely shimmer and looks great for the summer! 

• Nars Blush 'Deep Throat' - This blush is a gorgeous soft peachy pink colour with subtle shimmer and it looks like a great staple colour to own! Really love this colour!

• Mac Mineralize Skin Finish 'Soft and Gentle' - This is a raved about highlighter on youtube and I really want to try it! I have never really looked at this product at the Mac counter before so I must check it out!

• Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - This powder is almost loved by everyone! I am running out of my current pressed powder so I might have to try this one out soon! Looking forward to using it!

• Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon 'Peach on the Beach' and 'Orange Punch' - I haven't heard a whole lot about these yet but they look so lovely! They are these creamy lip pencils (as the name suggests) that remind me a little of the Revlon balm stains. I first read about them on Amie's Blog Post about her August Favourites! I love the look of these and they seem so quick and easy, with such pretty shades too.

So these are some products that I really want to treat myself to sometime! This post was a quick one but I really love reading what products people have on their wishlist! This was so fun to write and I hope you enjoyed this post! I really apologize not having any photos of the products on here but you can definitely check them out online and search up some swatches!

 

Maybe you have some products you have your eye on? Please let me know in the comments what is on your makeup wishlist, I would love to chat to you! :) Also some post ideas?

 

Thanks! Make sure to follow to me to stay up to date with my posts and I will hopefully be posting again this weekend!

Cherry Culture Haul! Nyx and Ardell

Hi everyone!

Todays post is a haul! I have never done one of these and I wanted to share with you what I bought.

 

Cherry Culture is a makeup website where you can buy cheap makeup brands from and it is great for us who live in Australia and NZ who don't have any shops stocking some of the brands. It is really good pricing and worth the wait of shipping!

 

 I ordered these products two weeks ago and they arrived on Friday which was yesterday! I think they came fairly quickly as they were coming from the USA. They were packaged really well and none of my items are broken, which is great!

 

I ordered three NYX products and a pair of Ardell Lashes and I can't wait to try out these products today!

 

From Left: NYX Round Lipstick 'Fig', NYX Butter Gloss 'Peaches and Cream', Ardell Natural Wispie Lashes, NYX Powder Blush 'Pinched'.

 

 

NYX Round Lipstick 'Fig'

 

This lipstick is the perfect medium bright pink colour which is just what I wanted. I really love this colour and when I swatched it on my hand, it was so creamy so I think this is going to be a really moisturising lipstick!

 

NYX Butter Gloss 'Peaches and Cream'

 

This is a really raved about product and I really loved the look of these glosses online and I am so glad I ordered one of these! I didn't feel the need to buy all the colours so I just chose one that I liked the look of, after trying this out and seeing how pigmented it is, I definitely want another one!

 

NYX Powder Blush 'Pinched'

 

This blush is pretty, it is a medium peachy pink blush with gold shimmer! I love the colour of this and I don't own a blush this colour! It is the perfect colour for spring too, I love it! They are so pigmented and I really want to try others!

 

Ardell Natural False Lashes: Wispies Black

 

I bought these because I have heard great things about the Ardell False Lash range and I have never used a pair before and thought they would be cool if I went out for dinner or something! I probably should have gotten the demi wispies as I am just starting out with them but it was a random buy! They look awesome and I just need to buy some glue and I will be set!

 

 

So these are all the items I ordered off of Cherry Culture! I can't wait to put these products to good use! I hope you all enjoyed this post and let me know if you would like more like this! Please know that I bought all these items with my own money.

Thanks for reading!
