NYX in Australia!

Good afternoon everyone!

So if you are like me and had been following many beauty gurus from the states, then you will know about NYX cosmetics. I was really happy to hear the news that they were in Australian Targets so I had to go and check it out myself! The prices are very affordable, similar to Face of Australia price range. Here are the swatches and a mini review on the products that I had bought today!

Rimmel Scandaleyes in Nude (Top)

NYX Wonder Pencil in Light (Bottom) - $8.95

I got this eyeliner because I needed something that could brightening up my eyes and replace my Rimmel Scandaleyes pencil that I got a few months back. As you can see, Wonder Pencil is a true nude compared to Scandaleyes (it is a lot more orange) making Wonder Pencil the perfect colour for the bottom waterline! The packaging on the NYX Wonder Pencil is lovely, it was wrapped with plastic that had the dotted lines on the sides which makes it easy to tear the middle piece down without ruining the package itself.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil: Milk, Yogurt, Peacock (L to R) - $9.95

Unlike the packaging for the Wonder Pencil, you can see that the NYX text has been removed from the packaging. This was due to the sticky tape that they used to secure the lids onto the product itself. Despite from that, these pencils are very creamy and very easy to blend! 

Essence lipstick in 53 All About Cupcake - $3.50

NYX extra creamy lipstick in 643 Femme - $8.95

The first thing I have to mention about both of these lipstick is that they are very moisturising! Essence lipstick has a very nice scent to it, kind of like a vanilla flavoured ice block. I find this shade very wearable for everyday and for $3.50, it is definitely worth a try! 

NYX creamy lipstick in Femme is a salmon colour. Very nice for the Spring and Summer time and it does not transfer as much as the Rimmel Apocalips (I think I found my new favourite lipstick!!). There is a wide variety of shades to choose from, so there is something for everyone and it is under $10!

So what are you waiting for?! Go and see if NYX is available at your nearest Target store!!

What a day of recording mishap!

Good afternoon everyone!

So last night, I told myself to finally record my first ever request video the following day (which I had been putting on hold for many weeks now). I am not comfortable in front of the camera when someone else is around so to find out my mum had a day off work was a little bit discouraging towards making this video..

To overcome this feeling or you can say fear, I began to record. Just minutes away from hitting the record button, a family friend came over. What made it worse was that they were having a conversation. I don't know about you, but when one of my parents talk to a friend.. they are pretty loud.....

To make matters worse, I was thinking of recording the intro in my room (the video was meant to be recorded in the kitchen) with the door closed to block out their conversation....which then my mum decided to watch her drama. And when she watches her dramas.. she turns the volume on pretttyyyyy high, to which no bedroom walls can block out the noise!

In results to that.. I head outside into the backyard. Thinking it could not get any worse then this, guess what happens? It started to pour! Oh, come on!! I thought to myself. Why today? Why now? I swear, it is a sign that I was not meant to do this video!!

I then headed into the storage room (used to be the garage) since it was the only place in the house that would be able to block out all the noises. But the lighting was not soo good, I then decided to wait for the rain to die down..

In the end, I was able to record the video! It turned out better than I thought it would, especially with all the discouraging things that had happened. I hope you guys look forward to this DIY video!! Can you guess which video it might be? ;)

5 Minute Makeup Challenge!

Good evening everyone!

Had you ever tried to do your makeup in 5 minutes before? I sure haven't! Usually I would just apply eyeliner and mascara and I am good to go! But what fun would that be if it is not a face up makeup, right? Well, I was able to drag a friend of mine to help me with this challenge! Check it out and if you are interested in doing this challenge than I tag YOU!
