MAX Factor False Lash Effect Fushion Mascara

I often don't really mind what brand Mascara I use. Because personally, I believe that they're all pretty much the same...


But.. this mascara is awesome for those girls who like that dramatic look. If your a bold type of gal, or you loves to wear false lashes, then put down those fake lashes and throw away the glue. MAX Factor has found you something even better.. a mascara which makes your lashes fuller, darker and pretty much look like they're false!


And this mascara is so versatile as well, one coat, two coats, three coats, twenty coats... you name it. You pick whether you'd like subtle mascara or a really full look! The brush is also really great because it doesn't make my eyelashes clump (eww I hate clumpy eyelashes)!


So if you're looking for a new mascara, or just feel like changing it up and giving a dramatic look a go, then MAX Factor False Lash Effect Fushion Mascara is the one for you!

Maybelline New York Dream Smooth Mousse

Maybelline New York Dream Smooth Mousse is so cute and easy to carry on the go. It has a sponge hidden in the lid and the foundation in the second compartment! So tidy and hygenic! The sponge that comes with it gives you a medium coverage, which is pretty good. But I really prefer to use my own makeup brushes for a more flawless look!

The foundation also blends into my skin so well, almost like a moisturiser! It lasts all day long and never really looks cakey, unless I apply too much. But other than that, this foundation is pretty good. It's only $7.95 as well!

It's a great drugstore foundation, although I only really use it if I'm travelling or if I want to touch-up on the go!


But give it a try, you never know, it might be your perfect foundation!

L'Oreal Paris Visible Lift Serum Absolute

This foundation is one of my favourites for a light, everyday foundation. As I've mentioned numerous times in previous posts, I love liquid foundations! I'm always trying new ones because I haven't yet found the completely perfect one for me! I'm only young, so the anti-aging benefits don't really apply to me.. But from reading other reviews on this product, I've found out that it can help to reduce the signs of aging because it smooths out your fine lines!

It has a subtle shimmer and is very lightweight. I use this foundation if I want a nice glow for photos or just because I feel like I want to sparkle! The coverage is very light, in saying that, it can be built up. But! If your acne-prone, probably skip this one. It will accentuate your blemishes (because of its shimmer), rather than hide them! I'd try a more matte foundation of I were you.



This foundation is only $12.50, so it's worth a try if you've got a little extra cash. And if your a little older, then this will benefit you even more to make you appear younger! Bonus! So yeah, give this one a try girls!

Physicians Formula Mineral Illuminating Powder Duo

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Illuminating Powder Duo SPF 16, $13.99

 Normally I don't particularly like powder foundations, but this foundation is an exception. This foundation is different. Different to all the other mineral foundations. Unique. Unique because it comes with two shades! Forget the days when you had to search and search for the perfect match to your skin tone. The search has ended. Solution: Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Illuminating Powder Duo SPF 16.

This foundation is so versatile because it can be your foundation throughout summer to winter because of the complete variation you can achieve with its two different shades. It also works simultaneously as a bronzing and highlighter! And for $13.99 your getting a foundation and brush, a bronzing powder and a highlighting powder all in one because of its versatile uses! That's exceptional, if you ask me!

But on to the coverage. Hmm.. well this foundation really isn't for me. It's a great foundation and all, it's just so light coverage, that it doesn't really cover much for me. My cheeks get really red and so I always need something a little more, well, heavier and thicker! That's why I normally use liquid foundation! But in saying that, this powder works well for me after I've used my liquid foundation. I use it as a bronzer and highlighter sometimes.

If you have clear skin, definitely purchase this one, it's a bargain! But for those who have blemishes or redness, maybe this isn't the right one for you, but maybe it is, you never know! Try it out because everyone's different. And it's only $13.99 isn't it!? Anyway, if you don't particularly like it, use it as a bronzer and highlighter like me!!

Lara Bingle Makeup

Lara Bingle's new show: Being Lara Bingle has sparked interest all around the world! A show which gives us an insight into Lara's life and reveals to us that her life isn't just all black and white! The show brings out Lara's bubbly personality and shows her in her best times and her worst!

But on to her makeup... I love Lara's minimal approach to makeup because she always looks so tan, dewy and natural! Her bleach blonde hair and blue eyes gives her a perfect 'beachy' look, especially when her hair is wavy! Overall, her makeup is always looking good! And have you ever noticed that she wears makeup to bed on her show?? haha





So what's in her beauty bag?

1. NARS bronzing powder in Laguna $55

This bronzing powder is extremely popular among celebrities and is perfect for contouring! If you want her glow, definitely purchase this product! I love NARS bronzing powder as well, take my word for it, or even Lara's, because it's A-mazing!!

2. Dove Essential Nutrients Tinted Moisturiser in Honey $10

Lara loves using this tinted moisturiser because its a three in one: a moisturiser, light foundation and SPF15 protection! I definitely recommend purchasing this tinted moisturiser as well because it's only $10! I don't have it yet, but it's on my list!!

3. Becca Luminous Skin Colour $54.40

This moisturiser is perfect for people who have problem skin because it contains anti-oxidant vitamins, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic ingredients — all saviours for breakout or problematic areas. This must be one of the reason's why Lara's skin is absolutely perfect!

Lara Bingle has an amazing makeup look which is so natural, and now that you know how she achieves such a gorgeous glow, you can try it out yourself! Good luck!

Napoleon DéVine Goddess Lipstick

Napoleon's DéVine Goddess Lipstick is just 'Devine' as its title suggests... Look at the bright coral colour, I mean, who wouldn't love this!! If you are a bright and bold gal, then this is just the perfect lipstick for you :) And for $35? Bargain in my opinion!

Photo credit: napoleonperdis.com

To apply this lipstick, I use my finger. I rub a touch of the lipstick onto my finger and then smudge it into my lips! This stains my lips slightly with a lovely coral colour. If I want something a little more bright and bold, I apply the actual stick onto my lips! Just beautiful and perfect for the spring season which is coming up guys, get excited!

I also love this product because it lasts so long. I know, $35 is a lot of money for one sole lipstick. But! Because this lipstick is so pigmented and bold, only a tiny amount is used each time; therefore, making it last an enormously long time!


Purchase Napoleon DéVine Goddess Lipstick as soon as you can, it WILL last forever!

Napoleon Blush Patrol

I love Napoleon's Blush Patrol because it has an amazing swirled design, creating a beautiful and unique blend of blush colour each time I apply it! If I want a darker blush, I rub my brush into the darker colour more. And if I want a subtle blush, I rub my brush into the lighter colour more! Every combination is different, which is what makes this product so unique!

Napoleon Blush Patrol has lasted me 2 years now and it barely looks like I even used any!! I only need to use a tiny amount on my blush because it's so pigmented!



As for the price...$60? WELL WORTH THE PRICE!! If you think about how long it will take to use the whole pan, you will realise just how much a bargain this product is!

But be warned to use it with a good quality blush brush and to not use too much because then it will look cakey! (Let's face it, NO ONE wants cakey makeup!) I use a Nude by Nature or Sigma Kabuki brush, depending on which ones are in cleaning. Angled brushes also work perfectly for blush as well!
