Current NYX Must Haves at Target (Australia)

Thank god for Target bringing NYX to us Australian makeup junkies. I'm so happy that after buying NYX online for years, I no longer have to. I've been browsing the really nice displays as of late and 've come across these two beauties. Enter, NYX's current gift pack offer. One of lip products and the other of the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. 

They both are $29 each which is half the price of what all the products are worth. Have a look at the photos below, I really recommend this as a great introduction to NYX if you haven't used their products before. Check out Target (Australia)!

Quick Inglot Haul

I recently had a makeup lesson with Inglot which I will post about very soon. It cost me $90 and was fully redeemable in products. I am very lucky to live in Melbourne where there are 4 stores. If you want to see if one is near you, check here. Inglot is a fantastic brand and has an amazing freedom system unique to their brand which I would highly recommend checking out. So, what did I buy?

• Face Blush #22 - $22
• Sparkling Dust Face, Eyes, Body - $27
• Inglot eyeshadows in oh no, will have to update! $10 each
• Matte Collection AMC Lip Pencil #24 - $23
• 10S Eye Brush (not pictured) - $27

Sparkling Dust, Eyeshadow, Lip Pencil & Blush

I'm LOVING the lip pencil, such a perfect all over apply twice a day and you're good to go lip product. I am interested in purchasing further shades. The eyeshadows have already been slotted into one of my freedom products. Inglot eyeshadows are amazing and one of my favourite formulas (up there with Urban Decay and The Balm). The blush is a great contour shade for pale people like myself. I'm not 100% sold on the sparkling dust yet, my investigation will need to be done and I will be back with a review. Oh and before I forget - the brush is BEAUTIFUL! So nice for working precise shadow application in the socket.

Maybelline 50% off at Priceline Haul!

Quick guys, head into Priceline!! 50% off ALL the products from Maybelline. This is usually the lowest price that any Australian retailer would go down to and it's very close to American RRP's. Check out what I got here:

Just lip products and eyeliners for me! Unfortunately I find that their foundations run VERY dark (check out Revlon foundations instead if you have ivory skin tones) so I had to give them all a miss. I really recommend what I got as most of these are all repurchased items; Baby Lips, Gel liners and the Masterprecise liquid liner (which is a felt tip). The other liquid liner and the colour whisper lipsticks are all new to me.

I also jumped on the 2 for $30 Revlon Nearly Naked foundation/powder deal. This is a REALLY good deal. Would cost you $50 normally. I've tried them out and so far, so good. I actually really like them, if you're NC15 check out the lightest shade - I found it to be a really good match.

Deal ends 26th August 2013.

David Jones - Free Gift Purchase With The Balm

Ooo do I have a good deal for you today! When spending $27.95 on The Balm at David you Jones you have the choice of receiving the Shady Lady palette volume 2 or 3 (worth $49.95 AUD, $39.50 USD). Now I already had Volume 3 so I instantly got Volume 2. You can see Volume 3 in the picture above (I'll also feature it on my blog in the near future). The purchases I made to get the gift were their liquid liner (desperately needed a new one!) and one of their new range of blushes, "Instain".

Both Volume 2 & 3 have some solid neutral shades to make a base with. The rest of the colours can be used as a pop of colour. However if you are a neutral person, go with the volume 2 and if you're a colour person (and a lover of sparkly jet black) go with volume 3.

Below is Shady Lady Volume 2 swatched dry with no primer.

The Balm Instain in the shade Swiss Dot ($26.95 AUD, $22 USD)

The Balm Schwing liquid liner ($19.95 AUD, $17.00 USD)

This is a FANTASTIC deal with excellent value. There actually isn't too bad of a price markup  Please do head into your nearest DJ's before they sell out of stock! I went to the Chadstone store today (after not having any stock yesterday) and there weren't a lot left. I was so excited when DJ's started to stock The Balm. I used to buy off eBay. When I checked out the websites to get the American prices I noticed there was an Australian section. It's under construction at present but it will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe they'll do what Benefit does - being able to purchase at American prices? Who knows, but I'm excited to find out.

Priceline's Free Gift With Purchase - Mini Rimmel Haul

Priceline are currently offering a free bonus gift when you purchase $20+ from Rimmel. There are two separate packs and today I'm going to be speaking about the one pictured above. I immediately snapped this deal up when I saw it in the catalogue as it's a really good deal! An eyeliner, mascara, nail polish and a lipstick (valued at $47.80 AUD) all free! These are all current products and a good introduction to Rimmel products if you are like me and haven't tried out a lot of their products.

My pack contained 60 Seconds Nail Colour in How Do You Lilac It, Scandal'Eyes Show Off Mascara in Black, Scandal'Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Silver 1.2g & Kate Moss Matte Finish Lipstick 103. I chose this pack as I'm not big on nude lipsticks which the other one had. If you want to see the other one, click here to see it on Priceline's website. Here's another link for the one I got.

Are you wondering what I spent to get the free gift?

I've been meaning to pick up a flesh coloured eye pencil for awhile now and this Scandal'Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Nude will hopefully do the job for $9.95 AUD. What I primarily wanted to use it for is the waterline but I want to test it out as a base all over the lid for shadow too. Could also make for an interesting matte brow highlight. This claims to be waterproof for 24 hours so I will be back for a review to test the longevity. Can't wait to experiment!

Another Rimmel product claiming to be waterproof for 24 hours - the Scandal'Eyes eyeshadow stick in 002 Bulletproof Beige. Most of my cream shadows are really bright colours so I thought this particular shade would be useful for my collection. I haven't been able to find this product on Priceline's or Rimmel's website so I presume it must be really new.
