Late birthday haul

My birthday was quite a while ago (May) but because of Uni I've only just seen my friends to catchup, and this is what Alisha got me. Lots of little Korean makeup (Misha,Tony Moly, Lioele and The Face Shop) I'll be using in future posts and NYX 'The it List' lip set.

June Favorites

Anastasia First impressions/Reveiw

Recently I ordered the Anastasia DipBrow pomade in Blonde and the brow powder duo in Taupe. These are a rarity for us Aussies to find, I've seen a few sites that ship it such as Beauty Bay and the Anastasia Australia website. I actually got these from the American website which ships for $18, but the price is quite fair considering you are buying at US prices, making it a better deal if you plan on buying more then one thing. Shipping was very quick and took less than a week. The Dipbrow was $18 and the powder was $23. 

Favorite drugstore foundations - Fair & dry skin

Foundations are one of my favorite products to try out, and I think now I've got a collection of really well performing foundations. These are all drugstore but in Australia they range from about $20-$35.

Since foundations tend to be one of the most expensive things I purchase with the most uncertainty of liking them, I like do a lot of research and hold a list while I wait for a sale. 

When I look for a foundation I like them to be light yellow toned, help to cancel out my redness, not cake up on my dry skin and last at least 8 hours. 

Buying all the things - huge collective haul/ some first impressions

I went a little crazy buying things this month - no regrets. There were some awesome sales and just some new products I'd been trying to get since they were released in the US.

First up - Priceline 40% off haul. Priceline is our only real "drugstore" that sells a wide variety of makeup at ridiculous Australian prices but a couple times a year they have a 40% off sale. I found out about it a few days early thanks to someone on r/AustralianMUA.  Even with the 40% off it was still more expensive then regular price in the US. Makes me cry little tears.

 

Beauty joint Haul & First impressions

 About a week and a 1/2 ago i made an order from one of my favorite online stores, BeautyJoint. In total with shipping  it came to $49.78. I also used $5 store credit and a coupon that is always available. 

Priceline 40% off haul #2

So today and tomorrow priceline has 40% off all cosmetics! online and I store. I'm sure any Australians reading this will understand how much of a big deal these kinda sales are, and a chance to do some major hauling of things you've been eyeing. I made up an initial list of things to get but got flustered and was pretty quick in grabbing some things. Never the less, I still managed to burn a hole in my wallet.
