REVIEW · Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara

This mascara may not be new, but it is new to me and my collection. I picked this up at Sephora recently and I thought I should share my opinion on this product. 


This mascara claims to be lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning. It is considered to be a dramatic mascara by creating thick, sexy lashes. - Sephora

This is the first Tarte product I own and I absolutely love for what they stand for. They are a cruelty free brand and I've heard a lot great reviews on their products. 

I found this mascara to be quite lengthening, only slightly volumizing and not so much 'dramatic'. However, it is a very lovely product. It doesn't clump or weigh down my lashes, it's build-able and removes easily. It also doesn't irritate my eyes. The wand is made of fibres and is easy to coat your top lashes from root to tip. It can be difficult to coat the bottom lashes because of the size, although my lashes are quite short. I found that after a few uses, the formula improves - so don't get disheartened like me after the first use!

This mascara retails at Sephora Australia for $27.00.

Rimmel London Kate Moss Nude Lipsticks


Hello everyone, I hope you're well! I was lucky to try the new Rimmel London Lasting Finish Nude Lipstick Collection by Kate Moss. It can be quite difficult to find a nude lipstick that will compliment and suit your skin tone. However, in this new collection there are 5 neutral lipstick shades. There may be one for you!


LEFT to RIGHT:
#48 - Coffee Nude
#45 - Rose Nude
#43 - Tan Nude
#42 - Apricot Nude
#40 - Pale Nude


Shade #48 - Coffee Nude: This lipstick is a brown toned nude. It's perfect for warmer skin tones. The warm undertone adds dimension to the lips. It is also wonderful for creating an ombre' neutral lip, which is on trend at the moment!


Shade #45 - Rose Nude: This is my favourite out of the whole collection. It has a beautiful brown/mauve undertone and is flattering on cool skin tones. It can be also great for layering and brightening up your lipstick!


Shade #43 - Tan Nude: This one is perfect for people with warmer skin types. It does have a peachy and beige-like undertone and looks beautiful on the lips.


Shade #42 - Apricot Nude: This shade is a beautiful pink nude with a peachy undertone. This one is flattering on cooler skin types.


Shade #40 - Pale Nude: This shade is most flattering on fair skin tones. However, it is perfect for brighting up the lip by applying it just to the centre. It also has a pink undertone.

Overall, I am a massive fan of Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks and was very excited to try out the neutral collection. They are moisturising, faintly scented and opaque with a semi-glossy finish.  My favourite is shade #45 and least being #40 as it looks quite concealer-like on my lips.

The nude collection retails at $12.95 each.

2015 September Favourites ♡


Good morning my sweeties. The day this post goes up it the day of my birthday!- so today it's my birthday! I thought it would be fun as per usual to share what I have been enjoying in the past month.


♡ MAC Lipstick in 'Twig': Love love love this lipstick. It's a beautiful mauve shade. I admit I only picked this up because it's a lipstick Kylie Jenner wears! Although, it is quite stunning and looks lovely on the lips. It is a satin finish, smells like vanilla and is long lasting. 


♡ Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick in '#45': Another lipstick obsession. This is a beautiful rose nude. It's super creamy and opaque; lasts really well and is perfect for everyday. I have a full review on the whole nude collection coming soon. Highly recommend this lipstick for those with cooler skin tones. 


♡ Rimmel London Brow Kit: I have been going crazy about how good this eyebrow kit is. It includes a wax and powder and a mini spooli and angled brush. It creates a defined, natural and full brow. I have a full review here. 



♡ OGX Weightless Hydration Coconut Water Shampoo and Conditioner: I did purchase this thanks to Zoella. I love these products. (1) they're cruelty free and organic, (2) they smell amazing and (3) they leave my hair feeling soft and looking shiny. They are really great at hydrating dry hair and overall great products to try.

Music:
Ayo - Chris Brown ft. Tyga
All I Want - Kodaline
High Hopes - Kodaline

Movie:
The Maze Runner - I really enjoyed this movie! Amazing characters and plot.
The Scorch Trials - This was such an intense movie. Although, I really liked it.
Cowspiracy - I highly recommend this documentary for everyone. It opened up my eyes about the world we live in and is such a good film to watch.

Food:
Alter Eco Chocolate - This is the best chocolate I have ever tasted. It is organic and majority of the flavours are vegan. My favourite right now is the 'quinoa' flavour. It may sound gross but it tastes just like a crunch chocolate bar. 

Cliff Bars - Another vegan quilt free treat. These are so good! I love the chocolate chip flavour. I get mine from Healthy Life but I believe they sell them on iHerb.com.

Have an amazing October!
