Priceline 40% off Cosmetics Haul


I know I've just posted a haul but Priceline was having a pretty big sale and I wanted to post my haul before it was over (Finishes 20th November midnight) so anyone who reads this post may get some ideas of what to buy! All up I spent $110, although the two Nude By Nature Powders mum bought, so if you minus them I really spent $62.00 I think. Considering the amount of products I got, I'm pretty happy with that. Plus one thing cost $26.00 originally, so if you take that out also it makes the rest of the products seem really cheap!



Not that I need anymore makeup, but I decided to buy things I've been thinking of trying for a while but just haven't gotten around to it or didn't want to pay full price. Excluding the NBN powders I bought 11 products which works out to $5.60 per product.. worth it in my eyes!

So onto the haul! Plus swatches of the lip products :)


Nude by Nature powder in Light and Finishing Veil


Physicians Formula Super BB Cream in light to medium (so excited to try this!)


Australis Matte Out, mattifying face base, feels so soft on my hand, I have high hopes for this one!


Australis nail polish in Aqua and K-Pop


Rimmel Space Dust textured nail polish in Moon Walking


Swatches of Moon Walking, K-Pop and Aqua



Essence I <3 Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara


Essence 4 in 1 Nail file (already have one and I love it!)


Maybelline Color Whisper in Who Wore it Red-er


Bourjois Color Boost lipstick in Fuchsia Libre


Essence eyeliner in Teddy and Lipliner in Cute Pink


Swatches of Who wore it Red-er, Fuchsia Libre, Cute Pink and Teddy


I'm so excited to use all my new makeup! haha I hope you enjoyed my haul post and hopefully I will do some reviews soon!

Dorothy (Wizard Of Oz) DIY Costume

I decided to post my other costume from last week just after my witch costume so it wasn't posted too far away from Halloween, I went to a different club last week and I dressed up as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. I made my costume from scratch using Secret Life of A Bio Nerd's tutorials.


 My costume was made out of a top and skirt. The tutorials I used for them were link (top) and link (skirt). I didn't use stretchy material so I put a zipper in the back instead. I added button holes to the front of the top and attached straps to the back. I wore white frilly socks and DIY'd the shoes. I also added a belt made out of the same material to hide the where the skirt and top meet, which ties into a bow at the back.




For the shoes I used mod podge and red glitter. I painted the glue on then poured some glitter on. (some parts needed two coats) then to seal it I painted a layer of mod podge on top.


For my makeup I did a simple brown smokey eye and wore red lipstick. For my hair I put it into two ponytails and added my extensions and curled it.

I hope you liked my costumes this year!

Witch Makeup and DIY Costume - Happy Halloween!

Halloween was yesterday and I dressed up as a witch! I went with a group of friends to a club in the city so here's my costume and makeup that I wore :)





Makeup





For my makeup I used a Maybelline pallette in Amethyst Smokes (link). I used the metallic purple all over the lid, the white in the inner corners and under the eyebrow. I used the dark purple on the outer corners and on the day I used the black on the outer corners as well. I then smudged some of the purple's on my bottom lash line.
For the spider webs I used the Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner pen and followed this tutorial by DelyriaPhoto on Youtube. On the night I also added rhinestones.


For my lips I used Revlon's balm stain in Crush.

The contacts I used a friend got for me, but these ones from Eye Candy's are pretty much the same and they have free shipping worldwide!

Costume





My hat was $4 from a $2 shop, it's like a fake black velvet material with purple/pink glitter spiderwebs all over it, my cape was made with fake velvet material and a thin ribbon to tie it around my neck and I wore a plain black singlet underneath. I then wore a high waisted skirt made with chiffon material that had a bow in the middle, it was from an op shop and the tag was removed so I don't know where it's from but any flowy black skirt would work. The over the knee purple and black striped tights I bought from a local sock shop for $8 and I wore my ankle laceup, heeled booties. The gloves were from Forever New from a couple of years ago and I also wore a silver necklace and my extensions from Irresistible Me.



Hope you enjoyed this look!
and Happy Halloween!
