KATE ANNIVERSARY

RIMMEL LONDON

Kate Moss

15th Anniversary Edition Lipstick Collection!

https://au.rimmellondon.com

Always the sucker for a good lippie if you're anything like me then you'll love this collection of

classic red and nude shades by Rimmel London by Kate Moss. Each is a similar yet different shade

of pure classic elegance and mature poise. Can you believe Kate has been an iconic face for Rimmel

since 2001? Wow!

The formula is a lovely smooth soft finish with a hint of shine that lasts! Believe me those swatches

(see images below) were not an easy feat to remove!

To break it down as to how these mix of red and nude shades are actually different. Let me give you

my take on each shade. With my personal favourites being 'Rock N Roll Nude' and 'Retro Red'.

Rock N Roll Nude - This is your classy nude shade with pinky undertones.

Retro Red - Your classic deep berry Autumn tone.

My Nude - Another classic nude shade with pinky undertones, but less than Rock N Roll Nude.

Muse Red - A middle toned classic red with orange undertones.

Boho Nude - This is your basic brown mid toned nude shade.

Idol Red - This bold red to me seems borderline orange. It's like a half orange half red mixed.

SWATCHES! - Left to right : Idol Red / Boho Nude / Muse Red / My Nude / Retro Red / Rock N' Roll Nude

SWATCHES! - Top to bottom : Idol Red / Boho Nude / Muse Red / My Nude / Retro Red / Rock N' Roll Nude

These and all Rimmel London products can be found and purchased Australia wide from Priceline,

Big W, Coles, Target, Woolies and Chemist Warehouse for current RRP $13.95 each.

Another pic, because everybody loves pretty makeup flatlays! :)

And... that rose gold casing though! Ooohh!

PROVOCALIPS

SWATCHES & REVIEW!

https://au.rimmellondon.com/

Lipsticks have to be one of my biggest weaknesses. I have especially fallen in love with liquid lippies

over the past few years and have quite a few different varieties in my collection of all kinds of shades

and finishes.

This two step collection glide on like buttery silk and together with the moisturising balm attached to

the other end of the doe foot applicator it keeps my lips feeling smooth and soft throughout the whole

day with the colour also lasting the distance.

You gotta love when companies bring out a collection where there is always a shade to suit everyone.

I love these because there is such a great variety of shade suitable for both day and night. Special

event or just slick on before going out to do the shopping!

From deep dark sexy berry and red tones, there is also my signature bright magenta pink as well as

the very 'now' nude shades as well as an understated your lips only better barely there touch of pink.

Available in a total of 8 shades. I currently have these 6. :)

These liquid lipsticks are very affordable as well. You can pick these up currently on sale at Priceline
with 40% off at only $11.37! Also available to purchase at Big W, Coles, Woolworths, Chemist
Warehouse and Target.

Swatches below shades from left to right are -
Dare To Pink / Skinny Dipping / Make Your Move / Little Minx / Play With Fire / Not Guilty

WOW BROWS

~ Rimmel London ~

Perfect Brow Products!

http://au.rimmellondon.com

Brow This Way Eyebrow Sculpting Kits!
Shades - Mid Brown & Dark Brown. RRP $12.95
(Shop!)

When it comes to my brows I usually just use any old brow pencil I have lying around and never
really got into trying any kind of powder palette due before so I was exciting to open these up and
have a play!

When it comes to makeup, I love it all however I am a huge believer in getting the base right first and
that includes those bushy brows which can easily get out of control and look unruly if not kept groomed
and maintained. I am the first to admit I tend to get a bit lazy with the plucking and usually quickly pick
out the strays and tidy them up before heading out in public. They are not something I have the time to
think about day to day so when it comes to applying my makeup, I need to be able to do it fast and that
includes the brows which can make such a dramatic difference to your overall face and when done right
it looks amazing!

What I love about these duos is the two step process of first applying the wax followed by the powder.
Even though it is one step more than my usual pencil, it really doesn't feel like it takes any longer to do
and I have come to quickly include it in my makeup routine with the handy brushes provided in the kits.

Brow This Way Eyebrow Gels!
Shades - Blonde, Mid Brown, Dark Brown. (Also available in Clear!) RRP $12.95 each!
(Shop!)

Easy to mistake for a brown mascara, these brow gels are great to groom those brows on a rushed
morning. I found the Dark Brown worked best on my face as my hair is already naturally very dark
and this shade really helped to define then into neat little caterpillars as well as keeping them nicely
in place. I love that I have the other two shade variations as I am in the (slow) process of lightening my
hair so as it gets lighter I have these handy brow gels on hand to make the switch as needed.

The wands transfer just the right amount of product to give you complete control when applying. I
usually only need one coat and a little touch up with the Sculpting Kit and omg the difference is
amazing, my eyebrows have seriously never looked this put together. Their lives are far more organised
than mine! (Seriously!)

Available to purchase in store from Priceline, Big W, Coles, Woolworths & other good retailers.

ACONTOUR

~ AC ON TOUR ~

CONTOURING & HIGHLIGHTING KIT

By: Australis Cosmetics!

So every now and then there is a beauty product that has everbody talking. This is one of those

products. Raved about by beauty gurus, bloggers & vloggers all over Australia. A brilliant must

have staple item perfect for beginners and professionals alike. The kit makes the confusion around

contouring simple. Broken down into 9 thouroughly explained, easy to follow steps using the 6

skin toned shades inside.

Now, if you're new to the art of contouring, let me break it down for you.

Contouring is a bit like magic. When done properly it can give the illusion of the perfect face.

Perfectly highlighted with chizzled cheek bones, a slimmer nose, face and that double chin, what

double chin? Know what I mean? If you've ever wondered how some women can transform them

selves with makeup and look almost unrecognizable, then you can bet your bottom dollar (along

with other makeup & other clever tricks) they've contoured the heck out of their whole face!

Ahh! Pretty packaging!!

RRP: $16.95 (Buy!)

Not to be confused with a similar looking Concealer Palette, which is designed to combat any redness, dark circles and imperfections

on the skin. The Contour Palette does a totally different job, yet both are brilliant essentials I recommend investing in your makeup collection. They are perfect to someone starting out in makeup who just want to concerntrate

on getting the base right before delving into wearing loads of or any makeup. Without

getting your base right, the icing on the cake will never look anywhere near as good as it could.

Just play around with products, practice and see what shades and techniques work for you.

You'll get there & with the help of products such as this one who break it down for you with

step-by-step instructions and pictures, you'll be contouring like a pro in no time! :)

SWATCHES!

From top to bottom/left to right as the palette shows above.

I'll admit taking the time to contour my whole face everday is not something I always do.

I am a busy mum of 2 toddlers so getting to spend time on my makeup is a treat.

However, this palette has so far changed my life as it makes contouring to much quicker

with all of the shades I could ever need all in one place!

I feel like this has really helped my to perfect my base before applying the rest of my makeup

and it actually looks really natural on the skin and doesn't cake up with all the layers as I'd feared.

Do you contour?

What products do you recommend giving a go?

FUSE GELNAMEL

~ FUSE GELNAMEL ~

Sensationail Starter Kit

Review!

When it comes to DIY manis and pedis at home, I am always stuck for the time it takes for my

polish to dry. Most polishes, no matter how pretty, just take way too long to dry and always end

up getting completely ruined even before I get the chance to leave the house and enjoy them for

just one day!

I have heard so much hype around Gel manis this year and how amazing and long last they are,

that I knew, I just knew I had to try it out because it seems to be the perfect solution to all of my

nail nightmares! Taking only 30 short seconds to completely dry? How could I not love this?!

This Fuse kit seems like a great place to start. It comes with everything I could possibly need

to begin painting...

Fuse Gelnamel Polish in 'Na-No Way!'

Fuse Cleanser

LED Lamp

Lint Free Wipes

Double Sided Nail Buffer

Manicure Stick

Easy To Follow Instruction Booklet

RRP: $49.99

What I find mind blowing about this whole kit, is the fact that no base nor top coat is needed!
The Gelnamel is an all in one formula that requires just one coat which in turn gives you a
perfectly polished, shiny, strong as 'nails' pop of colour finish! I can't believe how easy and
effective the whole kit is! Definitely worth what seems to be quite a hefty price tag for you
DIY mani/pedi. However think of it like this - It's salon quality at home. It's longer lasting!
The kit contains more than just your regular run of the mill nail polish as this contains your
base & top coat plus polish colour all in one! And most importantly to me, the dry time saves
you a bad mood for the rest of the day because you haven't ruined all your hard work waiting
around for it to dry! Nobody has time for that! Especially not me!

Apart from the fact that I can't paint my nails neatly to save myself, that aside,
you can't deny the vibrant colour and incredible shine this polish portrays.
I already know this polish is going to last because I've already tried to pick and
scratch at it, just to see if it passes the 'CandyFairy Blogs Test!'
So far so good!

Other incredibly gorgeous Fuse Gelnamel nail shades include -
E-Motion (Purple), Such A Laser (Gold Shimmer), Lightening Jolt (Magenta + Glitter),
Gone Fission ( Baby Pink + Glitter).

RRP: $14.99each
