NYX and LA Colors

Good news! I finally found NYX in Melbourne! wooohoo.. but the selection was rather small. I was at Smith St. today trying to look for a pair of running shoes. Smith St. is quite famous for sports factory outlet store. Towards the end of the street, I saw a store with sign 70% off on brand cosmetics. (edit: found my receipt! the store is called Cos Cut Cosmetics)

I went in, and... damn it was pretty good. A lot of different brand at quite cheap price. Brands like Maybelline, L'oreal, Covergirl, LA Colors, Max Factor, NYX and some brands I have never heard off. A lot of beauty tools too. I walked around and end up with this two.

I have limited time and budget in there. :(

The range for NYX was rather limited, mostly NYX ranges are lipliners (a lot of colours!), a few eyeliners, some lip gloss and only one trio eyeshadow. Didn't get it, the colours was too pastel for me. :(

I think I was too excited and came home and swatches them. I love eyeliners, so I got this and try. The pencil is pretty smooth and colour came out rather easy. I just hope it doesn't smudge easily. I shall test it out tomorrow. (tested: and not bad the colour remains after 10 hours, no smudges unless I rub it hard.)



I love the dark blue-ness. Remind me of my this Shu eyeliner. Best of all this eyeliner is only $4.00! whee.


I read about LA Colors from Connie. The palattes cost $5.95 and I check Cherryculture, the price wasn't marked up!



This palattes is called Fabulous, not bad in my opinion.


The last 3 swatches seems to be more pigmented while the first two are better for highlighting. The middle colour look plum-ish but turned out more brown. weird. I haven't try wearing it though. Will try it out soon. I hope its not too hard to blend them.

I think I have to visit that store again.

Update: Round 2 NYX eyeliner testing, smudge like hell when I line my bottom lid. sigh. :(

Weekend Haul - Mineral Make Up

Finally I dips my little toes into Mineral Make Up after looking at it for so long.

Truth to be told, my interest is spark of by Everyday Mineral Flat Top brush first.
Soft and dense. How can someone not be interested.

I found out about Loving Minerals after surfing around about make up and had also been reading bout it in some local blogs.

Put my orders, and here it is! :)


Actually I have only ordered the Everyday Minerals flat top brush and a Lumiere deep liner (black cherry). I got a sample of Sand, finishing powder from the purchase too. yay!

Upon COD, Lynn from Loving Minerals brought some sample size along with her,Yay for me!
As I always wanted to try this sample size set (3 foundations, 1 finishing and 1 blusher) but never want to get it because I am clueless about my foundation shade. I get to choose it on the spot and purchase.

Thanks for the colour recommendation, Lynn!


There, there. I can wait to try them out. :)
I will blog more about it once I try.

Oh and I got a new make up remover. The Simple one is utterly useless... sorry to say.


Lets hope this is better
