M.I.A

Hey guys! Miss me? I missed you!
you wouldn't believe but as I was sleeping I knocked my laptop over and the weight of it snapped my charger off inside my laptop! So it goes without saying a laptop without a charger is pretty useless hence the lack of blogging. But thanks to ebay I have a new charger and i'm up back and running, and ill have a new post for you pretty soon!

July Favourites

July for me went very fast and slow at the same time but none the less the month is gone and here is my favourites! I'll Keep this short and sweet.

Covergirl Outlast 3-in1 Foundation.
Won't say much about this foundation, you can read my previous post for my first impressions/review.

Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle and Kate Moss Rimmel Lipstick 107
When I purchased the lip butter it was off ebay so unfortunately I couldn't swatch the colour for myself, I did however look at pictures online and thought this would be a really nice nude, however when I bought it and tried it on it was to light and gave me the foundation lip look which was unflattering to say the least. So it has been sitting in my lipstick stand for awhile, however I thought of mixing it with other colours to get a lighter muted colour, and my favorite lipstick to mix it with is the Kate Moss Rimmel Lipstick in 107 and the best way that I can describe the colour is that if you can remember the lolly redskins it looks like that, which I love. The lip butter moisturizes and gives a glossy finish to the matte lipstick.

Maybeline Color Tattoo Barley Branded.
 A really nice shade to wear on it's own I however have been using it as a base, it's a slight of white colour which I'd prefer then a straight white base.

Mac Sheer tone Blusher Trace Gold.
Went to Mac with the intention of purchasing the ever popular Soft and Gentle Highlighter, however as the Mac lady kindly pointed out to me it would be unflattering and leave a grey cast to people with darker skin. So she pointed Trace Gold out to me and it is BEAUTIFUL I've never used a powder highlighter but this one is gorgeous and I've been using it everyday since I got it. ( it was really hard to swatch this one and the blusher :( ).

Mac Sheertone Blusher Ambering Rose.
I also purchased this with Trace Gold. Looking in the pan it looks quite scary and on my own I would never go near it however it's such a complementary color on my skin. It does have shimmer which I tend to avoid, However since my skin is getting under control I can get away with shimmer in check products as the shimmer doesn't highlight any imperfections.

Maybeline The falsies Mascara
Bought this one as it was on every girl's and her grandmas favorites and at the time of purchases it was 50% off at the Chemist Warehouse sale. When I looked on the packet it said volumising and I thought  CRAP. I have such short lashes I really need length over volume however this mascara does both I find after about 3-4 coats I have fuller longer lashes. However anymore coats and my lashes get stuck together and become spidery.

I'm also thinking I may start to do my favourites bi-monthly, I find it hard to have new favuorites every 3-4 weeks

First Impressions of Covergirl Outlast 3 in 1 Foundation

Iv'e had a couple of weeks to try out the new Covergirl Outlast 3 in 1 Foundation and here is my review. Please read this post to see an overview of the product.


As mentioned in my New Released Makeup in Australia post this foundation claims to do three things all in one. It claims to have the power of a primer, the coverage of a concealer and the blendability of a foundation. It also has an SPF of 20. This is the first foundation that I have ever used that has an SPF in it, i'm bad I know it isn't really something I look for in a foundation however it is something I will be looking for in future foundations. I feel as though the added element of SPF not only adds protection, I feel as though it also moisturizes. Which is great for me, I don't have dry skin but after I've put my foundation on I've been getting dry patches on my forehead and on my cheeks and it has been incredibly hard to cover up. So to have this foundation that keeps my skin moisturized and patch free has been great since the weather has been cooler.

So to get a good sense of the product and to test if it does as it says, I tested all three things that it claims to do, so first of all I tested of it had the power of a primer. So this was fairly simple, I just applied the foundation without a primer. I powdered my face and also spritzed on a makeup setting spray, and at the end of the day I still had a medium coverage of foundation. So that that gets a big tick!

Next the coverage of a concealer. This foundation does a pretty good job at covering up those spots and blemishes, unfortunately for me I needed a little extra concealer on top, however it does a great job at covering up redness on the face and also redness or discoloration from pimples. So again it gets another big tick!

My Natural Skin. looks alot worse than what it actually is.

You can see that the foundation has taken some of the redness away. Apologies I didn't blend the foundation in properly I was in a rush but you get the idea.

And lastly the Blendabiliy of a Foundation. The consistency does feel a little heavier on comparison to other foundations that I own, it gives a very build able coverage from medium to full. It doesn't settle into fine lines and wrinkles. As I said before it is moisturizing and it doesn't feel heavy. So yet again another big tick!

It's pretty safe to say that I really enjoy using this foundation, and I will say its my favourite foundation to date, I will be re-purchasing. And at $19.95 it is pretty decently priced. And as a added plus this foundation doesn't leave you with a white cast so you can put the flash on your camera and not look like a ghost!
