QUICKIE: Colourpop Creme Gel Pencil Liners

ITEM: Colourpop Creme Gel Pencil Liner
PRICE: $5USD


So a product that I have a lot of and have experimented a lot with is the Colourpop Creme Gel Liners. In particular, the pencil version! I realised that I hadn't written about it on my blog despite having so many and always using them. So I decided to do a QUICKIE on them because it's not that complicated to tell you my opinions. So HERE GOES!

REVIEW AND SWATCHES: BECCA Colour Correctors & Concealer Creme

ITEM: BECCA Cosmetics Backlight Targeted Colour Correctors and Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme (U.S. Price and Link - Concealer HERE & Corrector HERE)
PRICE: $50AUD - same for both Concealer & Corrector (Price on sephora.com.au)




So I was lucky enough to get a gorgeous delivery from BECCA Cosmetics. This time round they sent me their new pot concealers and correctors. I have been super busy doing full time work, so I haven't had the chance to write my blog post on the products. However! Since I have been super busy, I haven't frequently sported full face of makeup, but instead concealed areas and VOILA! I would walk out the door. I have also been getting a fair amount of redness on my face in various places so I needed to conceal those suckers well. And inevitably, full time work plus full time study plus 100 other commitments will always end in dark circles that need the assistance of a good corrector. So this season in my life has been perfect to test out these products.

QUICKIE: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip

ITEM: Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip 
PRICE: $6USD (PLUS Shipping)

I recently did a haul on Instagram of a bunch of Colourpop products. I was fortunate enough to have Colourpop regram the picture! It then garnered a lot of requests to do swatches of the colours that I bought. So I have the swatches done, and thought I would take this opportunity to do a QUICKIE on my opinions on the product!

So here goes nothing!

REVIEW AND SWATCHES: Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation

ITEM: Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation (U.S. Link and Price HERE)
PRICE: $68AUD (Price at sephora.com.au)

Last year, I was lucky enough to receive the entire colour selection of the new Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation prior to it's launch to the general public. I remember walking downstairs, seeing a big box, opening it and literally screaming!

Becca is known for the amazing glow that their products can provide (from the backlight primer to the shimmering skin perfectors). Plus I have dry dull skin. SO.... you can only imagine the excitement and anticipation that I felt when I saw the package and the name of the product!



I have now tried and tested the product so I feel confident enough to give you all a thorough, honest and in depth review. So keep on reading guys!

SPEND OR SAVE?: Too Faced Hangover Primer vs Marc Beauty Coconut Primer

HIGH END ITEM: Marc Jacobs Beauty Coconut Primer (Unavailable online in Australia. Only at Sephora stores) (U.S. Price and Link HERE)
RRP: $65AUD 

AFFORDABLE ITEM: Too Faced Hangover RX Primer (U.S. Price and Link HERE)
RRP: $47AUD 

Okay so I want to preface this by saying that I am aware that neither of these are considered "drugstore" items. However the prices of these products most definitely vary and the products themselves are quite comparable (in my opinion) so I thought a spend or save post would be appropriate! 

I will also apologise that Australians will not be able to get the Marc Jacobs primer online. They are only available in store. Sorry guys! But I think Sephora is open (if not, will be open) at most major cities soon. So fingers crossed that everyone can get their hands on them ASAP.
