MAC Perfect Style Brush Set



I got my MAC Brush set today!!! It is FREAKIN awesome AND it only took 1 day for postage!!! ;p

The brushes are all FULL size (which is quite surprising! for the price) and also comes with a really cute bag that has green lining... it would be cute for travel!

These are the brushes:

Duo Fibre Brush 187 = $85.00 rrp
Large Angle Contour Brush 168 = $65.00 rrp
Tapered Blending Brush 222= $54.00 rrp
Small Angle Brush 263 = $37.00 rrp

$241.00 worth of value PLUS a bag for only $150! That's almost $100.00 of savings!

I am VERY impressed at how quick these arrived and the quality. I love these brushes! I tried to look for alternative branded brushes but none of them were dense enough.......

Can't wait for the rest of the makeup I ordered to arrive from the U.S! WOOT! ;p

Lipocils



So I was watching Julieg713 on youtube one day and she did a review on Talika Lipocils Eyelash Conditioning Gel which claims that it will grow your lashes within 28 days, and like everyone else who hears these claims you think to yourself "YEAH RIGHT!" but by the end of Julie's review she was convinced that it worked for her and was a sound investment!

So I of course HAD to buy it,..... so i logged onto Ebay and bought one from a seller in the UK. I received it only 5 days after payment - which was CRAZY fast, i was expecting to wait at least 10 days - and have started using it. I took before photos and also measurements with the help of hubby.

I've always had long lashes but they seem sparse and too thin. So I am hoping that this little miracle works!!!

Starting Length : 7mm

Shu Uemura Skin



So Hubby and I decided to go on a day trip to Sydney and treat ourselves.
He went out and bought cases for his Mac Book Pro and iPhone and I went to the beauty shops!!! (of course!!!)

I walked into David Jones and had a look around and everything seemed quite boring, and tucked away into the corner was a SHU UEMURA counter at the back end of DJ's!!! I was SO excited... something new!!!! - well since the last time i visited Sydney.

I walked straight up to the brush display (cos i was looking for something new to add to my collection) and was approached by an artist who was quite rude. He treated me like I had no idea about anything and that i didn't belong in the shop. I find this usually happens to me when i am not wearing makeup (hmmm :S) So i kinda walked away and did a detour with hubby to his store.

When we came back there was a different artist and he was SUPER friendly and approachable. He helped me with some skin care purchases. I ended up spending $265 bucks!!! (glad to have helped the nice guy with his targets for the day.... maybe if the first artist had been nicer he would've gotten my sale!!! o AND the nice artist TOTALLY hooked me up with some freebie samples and deluxe samples!)



I ended up buying, Skin Purifier Oil, ACE B-G reinforcing GEL lotion and ACE B-G reinforcing emulsion.

I was a bit scared about trying the oil for a cleanser cos i thought that it would make my skin feel oily and gross but it actually feels SO nice and leaves your skin super soft!!! VERY surprising! The ACE B-G range smelt lovely too.... like green tea........

I will trial this range for a whole month, with no other skin care to be used, to see if this purchase was really worth it. I figure i am getting older now and it's time to start looking after my skin (instead of just good ol' soap and water like when i was a teen! ;p)
