What I Got For Christmas 2014

Well hello friends! Long time no chat! Christmas has quickly come and gone for another year and I can't believe what a year it has been! I've seen lots of 'What I Got For Christmas' videos on YouTube so I thought I would do a post about what I got this Christmas. 

To begin with, my boyfriend got me the most amazing two presents. Number one was The Sims 4. I have been a devoted Sims fan ever since it came out in the year 2000. Yes, I'm a bit of a dork but I couldn't care less! =P The second present he got me was.. wait for it.. The Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette. I was so excited like you wouldn't believe. He's lucky enough to have a sister who lives in San Francisco who was able to send it over. I can't express my love for it enough!! 

My mum was so generous as well. The first thing I received was the Benefit Hoola Bronzer which I have been eyeing off for so long. It's as good as it's talked up to be. The second was two MAC lipsticks in the shades Show Orchid and Rebel. Show Orchid is definitely my new favourite lipstick! She also was lovely enough to buy me a new perfume. She got me Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs. Honestly, Marc Jacobs can do no wrong with their perfume bottles. They are absolutely gorgeous. 

I was also lucky enough to be given a little makeup storage unit from my family KK. I was literally talking about buying one the day before and then my wish came true, so to speak. It's just got two wider draws on the bottom, two half draws next to each other above that and then storage for lipsticks and bits and pieces on the top.

I could not be more grateful for all I received and I hope everyone had the most amazing Christmas. I spent the day with family with lots of food and laughter and enjoyed every second of it. Here's to 2015!

Long awaited return...

I'm not too sure how many have actually realised I've been a little MIA lately but I will be back! I work in retail management so I've been extremely busy the past few weeks. Rest assured though, I will be back in full force in about a week or so when I finally go back to my regular hours. 
I've really missed blogging so I'll have lots to talk about once I get back into the swing of it. 
Can't wait till then! xx

Priceline 40% Off Haul

A couple of weeks ago, Priceline held one of their highly popular 40% off cosmetics sales. Of course I couldn't help myself but to drop in and pick up a couple of things so I thought I would share with out what I decided to add to my collection.

Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder in Darkest Brown
This is one of my favourites. I picked up another one as I had just about finished up another one. This is one of my holy grail powders to set my makeup and for touch ups. I highly recommend it and you can't really go wrong when a sale like this marks it down to $7.17!

Maybelline Fit Me Shine Free Foundation in #330 Toffee Caramel
I've seen quite a few people mention this product on YouTube for contouring so I thought I'd pick it up while it was on sale. It's just a stick foundation that I have found to be easy to apply and super blendable. It's also a perfect contour colour. Still want to play around with it a little more but I'm quite liking it so far.

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner
This is another repurchase. I've had a couple of these and it's just perfect. I'm quite a novice when it comes to applying liquid liner so this makes it so much easier for me. It's just a felt tip liner that disperses just the right amount of product. This is one of those highly raved about products that everyone has in their collection.

Models Prefer Infinite Colour Eye Pencil in Nude Appeal
Another product that I've seen mentioned a couple of times in the land of YouTube. I actually only really had white, black and coloured eye liners but none in a nude shade so I figured I should pick one up. This one is super creamy and the perfect shade to be used on your waterline. Definitely recommend it already.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Vivid Rose
I've previously picked up quite a few of these lipsticks from Maybelline so I couldn't resist another one on sale. This is a bright pink shade which is perfect for the warmer weather we're moving into here in Australia. These lipsticks have such a good formula and staying power and an amazing price point to go with. Definitely my favourite drugstore lipsticks so far.

Face Of Australia Lip Quench Lipstick in Peaches and Cream
Last but not least is this lipstick. I've eyed it off a few times not being sure if it would suit me but I figured why the hell not this time. It's a gorgeous pinky nude colour which is so suitable for everyday wear or just to pair with a more dramatic eye look. I love the moisturising formula of this one and it also smells quite like the MAC lipsticks which I'm not complaining about. 

Did you manage to get to Priceline while they had their sale on? What did you pick up? Let me know in the comments down below.
