Sorry that I have been completely MIA for a long time! Exams, events and catching up on rest have consumed me. BUT I have and will continue to be active on Instagram no matter what so don't forget to follow me @mnh.beauty (Link is provided).

So to kick start the second half of the year, I am bringing you another SPEND OR SAVE between the immensely popular Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz and the affordable NYX Micro Brow Pencil.

REVIEW & SWATCHES: Colourpop Highlighters

ITEM: Colourpop Highlighters

PRICE: $8USD each

Application tips: Fingertips will provide the highest amount of coverage. Brush suggestions: Use a flat synthetic cheek/foundation brush or a duo fibre brush; flat synthetic brush will give more coverage and the duo fibre brush will give a more sheer, air brushed effect. 

Other tips & info: When finished, close that sucker up tight! Don't leave the jar opened for long periods of time; you may lose some of the magic that makes the Super Shock Cheek Pearlised so amazzzing. Colour builds from natural to a more intense look...Build to your heart's desire!

There has been a lot of hype over Colourpop products all over the beauty sphere. Their innovative formulas, standardised (and extremely affordable) pricing, their cute packaging and their collaborations with various Youtubers & beauty gurus inevitably attracts a lot of attention. However, I decided to purchase a bunch of the eye, cheek and lip products to put the products to the test. (I am a sceptic, so I need to see if things are truly worth the hype)! So the first thing I received & decided to do a review on are the highlighters. 

QUICKIE: Urban Decay Naked Concealer

ITEM: Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer (U.S. link HERE)
RRP: $36AUD (Price at Mecca)

Yet another product that I have been dying to try because of all the hype. This is a very quick and concise summary of the pros & cons of the product. I also provide my overall opinion & rating. 

REVIEW & SWATCHES: Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks

ITEM: Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks
RRP: $19USD + shipping (However there are always discount codes available for packages and/or free shipping). 

There is overwhelming social media attention channeled into the Gerard Cosmetics lipsticks and I decided that it would be good to do a review and swatches since I had so many of the colours (both new and old). I don't have every single colour, but I feel that I have enough colours and have tested them out enough to be able to write a meaningful review.

TOP 5: Bronzers

My Top5 Foundations Post and Top5 Nude Lips Post (both links provided) were both very popular, so I have decided to do my next instalment of this series. This one will be my TOP 5 Bronzers.

If you know me, I am obsessed with bronzers. If I could try every bronzer under the sun I would - and I believe that I will venture to do that (I just need unlimited monetary funds). Nonetheless, I have decided to narrow down the ones I have to my top5. I have tried my share of bronzers, but have not tried every single popular one so this list is prone to change over time. However these are my favourites for the time being.
