Hello everybody! For this blog post I am bringing you a jam packed information blog post about my favourite Face of Australia makeup products, my top3 favourite places to shop and my bucket list, which is something I thought would be quite fun. Before we get into it, I thought I would let you know that there will be a little discussion going on at the end, so if you could contribute and give your ideas I would be eternally grateful! Thanks, enjoy! BeautyOne of my favourite Australian cosmetic brands is Face of Australia. I feel that the standard of the products are just as high as other brands that you can buy in your local pharmacy/drugstore, if not higher. All of the products are SO cheap, meaning that they are great for everybody, especially beginners or younger people. I have mentioned a few of these products before on my blog, but I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to speak a bit more in depth about each product. Concealer in Neutral $9.45 I absolutely love this concealer! The coverage is pretty good, especially with covering redness. As you can see above, the concealer comes in a stick form that winds up. The concealer is really smooth and creamy, allowing easy blending and a smooth look when finished. I use this under my eyes, on my eyelids (as they can get just as dark as the circles under my eyes!) and on any pimples or red spots. I usually use my fingers to blend this in, but sometimes I will use a Nude by Nature angled brush. ColourMax Palette in Gold Mine $10.95 This eyeshadow palette contains 4 shades that make the perfect neutral but still glam eye. I have had this for quite a while now, and I originally used to use it for its intended purpose; an eyeshadow. I now actually use the brown shade to fill in my eyebrows. I will sometimes use the darker grey shade if I am doing a dramatic eye but I don't actually use this on my eyes anymore. With that aside, it is a fabulous palette to use on your eyes or eyebrows! The pigmentation is of a high enough standard considering the price. When I use this on my eyebrows I use my Nude by Nature small angled brush. Lasting Looks Lip Creme in Perm Pink $10.95 This lipstick is a light pink that has a semi glossy finish. It is so pigmented and glides on to the lips with such ease. I love the colour as it really can go with anything. It is quite moisturising on the lips thanks to the jojoba oil. I love the packaging as it looks so clean and chic. Lip Quench Moisturising Lipstick in Peaches and Cream $9.45 This darker pink lipstick is by far my favourite Face of Australia product. I LOVE the colour and pigmentation of this lipstick. The name of the lipstick really matches the quality, it is so moisturising! It actually feels like you are wearing a lip balm! The best part is that it has an SPF of 30 so its even better for you! FashionFor this blog post, carrying on with the information sorta theme, I thought I would share my 3 favourite shops that I frequently buy my clothes at! Some shops are in store only, some are online stores and some are both. Cotton On Cotton On is a clothing store that was started in Australia and has now spread to 17 countries over the world. Prices can range from to around $10 to $70. I would have to say, about 60% of my wardrobe is from Cotton On! Some of my favourite items that I have gotten from Cotton On are: Some items that are on my wishlist from Cotton On are: Factorie Factorie is another Australian based clothing and accessories store that has spread to South Africa, Singapore and other countries. Prices at Factorie range from about $2 (for accessories) to $70, so they are a super affordable choice for high quality clothing. Some of my favourite items that I own from Factorie are: Some items that are on my wishlist from Factorie are: ASOS ASOS is an international online shop that sells both men and women's fashion. The have ASOS brands the specialise in plus sizes and petite sizes as well as your average 6 - 12 sizes. ASOS stocks many brands so the prices can differ greatly. For example, their occasion wear ranges from around $8 to around $600, depending on the brand. Jeans can range from about $30 to $600, again, depending on the brand. I currently own one item from ASOS and it is this: A few items that I would really love from ASOS are: LifestyleOne thing that I have written and always refer back to is my bucket list.
