Heat Group Warehouse Sale Haul (with first impressions)

Guess who finally uploaded a post! 

Firstly, sorry to anyone who looked forward to my blog posts :( As my blog is not very popular I didn't really take it seriously, I used it more as a hobby and as a way to relieve stress. I took an unplanned and unexpected break due to my personal life, but I started to really miss posting on my blog and lately I've been really inspired to start writing again :)

 So here's my first post back; a makeup haul! Hope you enjoy :)

A couple of days ago the Heat Group had a warehouse sale which they do a couple of times during the year and this time they had some reallyyy good bargains and everything I bought (Bourjois, Covergirl and  Essence) was cruelty free!

First I stocked up on my foundation that I use. This foundation is the Bourjois flower perfection, I usually use shade light beige #53 so I  got four of those and one in beige #54 for when I am tanned. I usually mix this with a BB cream for everyday wear because it is a med-full coverage. These were only $5 each! Considering I usually have to go into the city and pay $12 a bottle I decided to stock up. This foundation lasts all night and covers my imperfections really well.

I also got a Covergirl foundation as they were only $6 and I have heard really good things about this foundation so I wanted to try it in case I'm not able to get the Bourjois foundation at some point, I can just go to the supermarket or Priceline and pick this one up and I like trying new and different makeup products. It is the outlast stay fabulous in 810.

Also from Covergirl I picked up a smoochies in the darkest colour. I use the one have at the moment all the time. It's great for keeping your lips moisturized and adding colour at the same time. It doesn't stain or leave a ring on your lips when it fades. It was only $3 or $4.

I got 5 lipsticks, 4 being Bourjois for $5 each. Yep, like an 8th of the retail price in Priceline. The only downside was they only had one or two shades of each type of lipstick but I'm not complaining at all! haha I got two shine editions #24 and #22, one rouge edition #32 and a rouge edition velvet #01 

Bourjois lipstick swatches:

(top to bottom)

Rouge edition velvet #01: a red lip cream that dries matte and stains lips

Rouge edition #32: a pink semi matte lipstick

Shine edition #22: a sheer reddish pink lipstick

Shine edition #24: a sheer pink lipstick (a MLBB)

I also got one Bourjois blush in a dark red (not dark on my face, actually blends really well!) and a beautiful holographic shimmer highlighter both $5 each. They both look really nice on the skin and apply really well.

I've been wanting to try this liquid eyeliner for a while now so I'm glad I finally was able to get it and for $5! I have been able to do the thinnest winged eyeliner with this brush, it looked so nice! Usually I use a felt tip eyeliner so the winged eyeliner turns out a little thick. The only problem I have with this is you may need to go over your line with a second coat, but it did stay all night and didn't smudge with my oily eyelids! I will definitely be repurchasing this eyeliner again if it is available next time.

This Bourjois felt tip eyeliner in black was also $5 but unfortunately I don't think I'll be buying it again.. It's not very pigmented at all so I found I  needed to go over the line I made a few times and after a 8 hour shift at work it smudged a little and the felt tip was quite thick :(

This Bourjois mascara was a repurchase for $5 also. I'm using this mascara at the moment and I love it. It's a curved wand, applies well and lasts all day without smudging for me. Not to mention the cute pink and black packaging!

I also got an Essence lipstick for $2 in 08 Colour Crush but I was too excited about the $5 lipsticks that I completely forgot to take a photo and swatch it!

Hope you enjoyed my first post back and I'm looking forward to writing more in the very near future!

Makeup Haul! Nars, Benefit, YSL, Ulta 3, Essence, Bourjois and more!

So sorry for the lack of posts! I finished my course and then had placement a week after, so I've been a little busy but I'm going to get back into it and I plan to make a few Youtube DIY's and write some reviews! So hopefully that will make up for it :) Btw I upload my Instagram with my nails, food, stuff I've bought and other random things more often than my blog :)

A while ago now (probably a month :S) I went to a makeup warehouse sale and also my friend MK gave me some pretty expensive makeup she didn't want anymore, so I thought I'd combine the two and make a big makeup haul post!

Bourjois Flower Perfection foundation in #51. I like it, it seems to cover alot and blend easily, but the shade I got is too light for me :(

Nars 'Super Orgasm' blush and Benefit Lust Duster in 'Big Daddy' (I think), from my friend, LOVE them both!

Essence blush in 'Prima Ballerina', two Backstage Ballerina eyeshadows and one Stay All Day eyeshadow.

Essence I <3 Stage eyeshadow base/primer. I was so glad to find this because I knew they were discontinuing it D: It's actually pretty good, I don't know why they aren't making it anymore..

Covergirl Natureluxe waterproof mascara.. it was awful, don't even bother.

Also went to Chemist Warehouse and got another Revlon Balm stain on sale :P in the colour Sweetheart. MK had this one and it looked so nice on her I had to get one for myself!

YSL lipsticks from my friend MK. There's a light pink and a red. I feel super fancy when I wear these haha

And finally, some nail polishes! Ulta 3 and Essence~ I got the 4 Ulta 3 polishes for free because at the warehouse sale if you bought their flyer and a friend (I bought my mum :P) you got 4 nail polishes free! So I was pretty happy with that :)
