IMATS 2013 HAUL

Hey Everyone!
I went to IMATS Sydney last weekend. It was my first IMATS and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I will include as much information about each product as I can.
As soon as I arrived at IMATS I absolutely had to go to MAC. They had 20% off everything. It was hectic, the stall wasn't well managed as you had to ask 1 assistant out of about 70 customers. It was crazy, I was at that stall for an hour. There will be a few photos included at the bottom of the products. For swatches click on the links to each store.


From MAC I purchased:
- Lip Pencil   Soar
 Lip Pencil   Oak
- Lipstick    Candy Yum Yum
- Lipstick   Freckle Tone
- Mineralize Skin Finish Natural ( In the colour medium)
-Powder Blush ( Style Frost)
- Mac 6 insert Palette
- something special   cream blush
-  so sweet, so easy   cream blush
 *** For prices go to http://www.maccosmetics.com.au/ The MAC store at IMATS had 20% off 


When I got to the Inglot store it was also crazy. Except it managed their store the best as you needed to place an order ; while they were making your order you could look at other stores rather than wait hours in line.
I purchased:
-Blush 45
-Blush 36
- Pressed Powder (55)
- Loose powder (12)

I also went to a store called The Makeup Foundation, and I purchased my eyeshadows, creame blushes, concealers and powders for my z palette. The palette that I purchased from Girlee cosmetics fits 15 of these fill ins:
- Cream Blush ~ Princess
- Cream Blush ~ Naked
- Powder Blush ~  Scarlet
- Translucent Powder ~ Translucent
- Corrective Concealer~  Yellow 
- Eye Shadow ~ Breeze 
- Eye Shadow ~ Lemon
- Eyeshadow ~ Enchanted
- Eyeshadow ~ Energy
-Eyeshadow ~ Psychic
-Eyeshadow ~ Liberty
- Eyeshadow ~ Aquatic


From Scottys Makeup I bought OCC lip tars! You can't buy them in stores in Australia so I was super excited to stock up on them. Except they were $20 each!!!! The discontinued ones were $16 - $18 each. So I only bought 3 lip tars. Last year I heard they were only $15 but this year the prices were very inflated.
Queen
Hush
Femme



I also purchased 3 beauty blenders 3 for $20 or 1 for $8 
2 Pink
1 black 



And Finally you can't leave IMATS without picking up brushes
I chose Crown brush. They were more pricey than Royal and Langnickel.

- Oval Fluff Brush  - Perfectly pink series 
- Dual Length Powder Brush - Perfectly pink series 
- Brow Lash groomer - Black 
- Round Angle Blender 

i recommend washing the brushes before use as they do shed a lot.

Max Factor Pancake Foundation

Hey everyone,

Todays review is the "Max Factor Pancake foundation"
This is in the natural tan. I will include swatches down below. I bought this foundation because last month especially, I was in many stage performances. This foundation gives maximum coverage and can be layered to match more to your skin tone. Of course you need to match the colour to your skin, but it matches fairly well. It is perfect to be worn on stage and brings out your face perfectly. When I purchase foundations I sometimes get breakouts. This foundation didn't give me that and I think its an amazing foundation.

Tips for When applying:
Use a damp sponge for light coverage or wet sponge for full.

Price: $12.00 +
Rating: 10/10
Overview:
full coverage, no blocked pores, you can layer it on to suit it more to your skin tone.
Good for stage , affordable
Only bad thing about this product is that you hit the oan pretty soon. So this product runs out pretty quickly if worn daily.

Benefit Thrrrob Review

Hi everyone!
Todays review is on the Benefit "Thrrrob" box o powder. The Majority of Benefit's box powders are amazing. Except I find 'Thrrrob' to be a huge let down. It gives limited coverage and when wearing the product you can't visibly see it, only a slight shimmer on your cheek bones. I have tried it on other skin tones and types but it doesn't turn up on even that. Its unfortunate because the colour of the blush is cute and just doesn't work well. Especially since other reviews suggest its "amazing" but I'm here to tell you of my "REAL" experience with these products.


Price: $28.00 AUS
or with the Hoola bronzer and Thrrrob Blush in a set $52.00 AUS

My Rating: 6/10 only because it came with the Hoola bronzer in a set and the both together was worth it.
Sorry this was such a short video, I didn't have much to say about this :)

Benefit Hoola Bronzer Review

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had an awesome weekend, and are ready for next week.
So today I am reviewing the 'Benefit Hoola Bronzer.'
It's a a matte bronzer and it amazing for contouring. It compliments most skin tones and I recommend this especially if you don't like shimmery bronzers. It gives amazing coverage, though I recommend using a Sigma F05 contouring brush http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=447293
as the brush that it comes with isn't the best.


Its price is $28.00 from benefit online. And for those buying in Australian stores such as Myer, the Benefit Hoola bronzer ranges from $50-52. I recommend buying it online in a set with 'thrrrob' to save money. The only imperfection to the Hoola bronzer is that there isn't enough of it! The packaging is great and benefit is an overall high end brand.
Well Done Benefit


My rating is: 9.5/10
Full coverage
28.00 BENEFIT

Comment down below to see swatches. I'll be posting them ASAP

Chi Chi Nudes Palette review


Hey everyone :)
Hope that you have had an awesome week.

I have yet another review for you all. I purchased the Chi Chi Nudes palette a few weeks ago and haven't had the opportunity to review it. So here it is. 

The 'Chi Chi nudes palette' is available for purchase internationally at http://www.chichicosmetics.com/ 
If you are in Australia you can buy this palette from Myer, Target , Gloss.

The 'Chi Chi nudes palette' comes with 12 different nude colours: hence the name.
This is the perfect doop for the urban decay naked palette. If you don't have the Naked palette., I recommend purchasing this first to see if you would use the colours. Especially if you are on a low budget this palette comes in handy. It's perfect for any occasion, and each eyeshadow has a bit of sparkle to it. None of the colours are named, though they are nearly identical to the Urban Decay Naked palette. The downside to this palette is:
1. None of the colours are named:( 
2. The packaging is a little cheap. 
This palette costs $22.95 AUS and is amazing in colour and each eye shadow is well pigmented.
My rating: 8.5/10

Chi Chi sell a variety of different palettes and i'll be reviewing them later on.



***If you would like swatches feel free to let me know by commenting and I'll upload them ASAP.****

Sigma Beauty: Resort Palette Review

Hi everyone,
So recently I purchased the limited edition Sigma Resort Palette. Right now in Australia it's winter and this palette isn't suited for this time of year. I definitely will start wearing this in spring :)  The Resort Palette comes with:
- 8 eye shadows 
-A Liquid highlighter 
-A blush
- A dual ended highlighter

The Eye shadows parts into section. The first four shadows on the left are more of the neutral colours and the next 4 are the bright eye popping colours. Most of the colours on the palette have a slight shimmer to them. The topaz colour ( brown colour) is the most matte colour out of all of them. All of the colours are well pigmented and I recommend this palette for spring/ summer.
(Eye shadow names from left to right) Muse, Fawn, Luna, Topaz, Papaya, Moonbeam, Neela, Midori.

The blush in this palette is called 'Heavenly' and suits any look. And the Liquid highlighter called 'Luminesce' is a really pigmented highlighter. When using the liquid highlighter during summer I recommend mixing a tad in with your foundation to give you a really nice natural glow.

The last pieces to this palette are the dual ended eye liners. The blue colour is 'day dream' and the dark brown  is called 'earth goddess'. They are super pigmented and creamy. And are amazing eyeliners.

Final thoughts and overall review 
The price of this palette is $42.00 AUS. It was a little pricey considering you need to add shipping and taxes on top of it. But overall I enjoy this palette and  the quality is truly amazing and I did not expect that from Sigma. This was totally worth the money.

If you would like to purchase this palette click here: http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=447293
20% Off Discount Code, valid July 22-29: SBAP20
