March Favourites!

This week we entered a new month, which just happens to be my favourite month as it is my birth month! (21 days to go guys)

Over the month of March I started uni, which meant for me that I focused more on skincare then makeup because I wanted to spend less time doing my makeup in the morning. My favourites of March feature a bit of skincare and a bit of makeup! 

(Left to right) 

Maybelline Mega Push Mascara: I didn't love this mascara for a long time, but then I randomly used it once and I really loved it, it makes my lashes look huge. It also doesn't clump or stick my lashes together which is amazing! 

Essence XXXL Lipgloss in clear: I love using this gloss because it makes it look like I have put a lot more effort into my makeup. I also love it because its long lasting, and it isn't sticky on my lips so it is comfortable to wear all day. 

Australis Setting Spray: This is so good when I am rushing around the city all day and running to and from train station to uni. It does actually work and does keep my makeup looking fresh all day!

M.A.C Studio Fix Foundation in NC20: This is a medium coverage foundation which is really easy to apply quickly in the morning. I also love it because it covers up a lot of my redness around my cheeks and lasts for the whole day!

Natio Acne Control Skincare: Now I don't actually have acne, I get the odd pimple, and a lot of little spots, so I probably went a bit extreme with this skincare, but I love it. There will be a full review of this up on my blog on Monday so feel free to come back then! 

All products were purchased with my own money. I am not affiliated with any of these brands and all of these reviews are my own opinion. 

Thanks for reading guys! Ill be back on monday!

Everyday Uni Makeup!

For Uni I'm usually pretty lazy! I have to leave for uni about an hour and a half before I start classes, therefore I am always up way to early for my likings.. Therefore I go with a simple base, and change it up with something like a winged eyeliner or a bold lip! 

On a daily basis I use Real Techniques brushes to perfect my base products. I love the face brush as it is quite dense and easy to blend out. The powder brush so big that I can literally use three swipes to cover my entire face, and the blush brush is an amazing angle that makes it easy to put blush onto the apples of the cheeks and up the cheek bone. These brushes are so soft and so easy to clean which is always nice! 

I also use the NYX Pore Filler as my primer for the day, which I don't really think works but I just use it out of habit now I think. My foundation switches between M.A.C Studio Fix and Maybelline Fit Me, depending on how long my day is and the coverage I want for the day! I use M.A.C when I have a full day at uni because its full coverage and long lasting, then I use the the Fit Me when I have a short day and just want to throw some foundation on. On my base I also use M.A.C Peaches Blush on an everyday basis. 

My eyes are pretty simple, with my brows filled in with a powder or the Savvy Eyebrow Pencil in Blonde with the Essence Brow Gel and then the Maybelline Plush Mascara. 

My Extras are Essence Superstay Eyeliner or a range of lip colours to change up my look from day to day, with the Australis Velourlips in Par-ee being pictured to pair with a winged eye (eyeliner not pictured because I couldn't find it when I took the photos! Haha)

HAUL!

My first haul post! This is pretty much a collective haul from 2014 so far.. I got a lot for christmas so I haven't really purchased much lately, but i still had a few things, especially after Priceline's 40% off! (Who else can't wait until 40% off skincare?!)  

PRICELINE HAUL!

Essie Nail Colour in Forever Yummy 

RRP: $16.95

I paid: $10.17

I saved $6.78

I love this colour, and Essie nail polishes glide on so easily and last for ages without chipping so I happily handed over my money to the cashier for this one! 

Essie Care Millionails Treatment 

RRP: $17.95

I paid: $10.77 

I saved: $7.18

I currently have this treatment on my nails and i already love it. Im pretty sure my nails are already stronger which is good because they are usually very weak making them hard to grow and groom other then a paint job! Hopefully this will strengthen them so I can actually file them into a shape and paint them nicely! 

Rimmel 'I love fruities' in Apricot Punch

RRP: $5.98

I paid: $3.47

I saved:$2.38

Another colour which I just loved and had to have. I love having bright coloured nails during winter so I always stock up at the end of summer and i really didn't have a colour anything like this in my collection.

TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Spray

RRP: $11.99 

Unfortunately not on sale but mine was empty so I had to buy another one. Its a product I use religiously now so I'll be stocking up next sale!

Essence 2in1 Profi File

RRP: $1.47

I paid: $0.88

I saved:$0.59

I didn't have a nail file and figured seeing as I want to start growing my nails I should get one so i can shape them, especially seeing as i have three nails that grow squareish then two nails that grow round... I don't even know why or how! 

Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara

RRP: $3.50

I paid: $2.10

I saved: $1.40

This is just a favourite of mine, I use it to set my eyebrows everyday so I figured Id just pick up an extra even though it was really necessary. 

Essence XXXL Shine Lipgloss

RRP: $2.59

I paid: $1.77

I saved:$1.17

I only have one thing to say about this lipgloss. Go buy it. Its not sticky on the lips, it actually feels moisturising, it lasts for ages. its amazing. 

Australis Velour-Lips in Par-ee 

RRP: $9.95

I paid: $5.97

I saved: $3.98

I have wanted this for ages, and unfortunately the Priceline I went to was all sold out of NY-CEE, but after using this once, I may go back and get it full priced its that good. I love this colour, I have very pigmented lips naturally and this just completely covers it and leaves them will a beautiful colour. Definitely recommend! 

MAC HAUL! 

Tiny MAC haul because its so expensive but very worthwhile. I walked in to get a new brush cleaner, left with a concealer and blush too.. uh oh.

MAC Brush Cleanser

RRP: $20.00

I use this every second day as a spot cleaner, I got this back up a while ago but I'm still going through my first which has lasted for about a year with half of it being spilt at the very beginning. I recommend it to all my friends, so easy to use and long lasting which I love. 

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW15

RRP: $ 32.00

I gave into temptation.. Jacyln Hill kept using it and i wanted it even more and here we are... I got it in a shade lighter for highlighting more then concealing, and in NW instead of NC for under eye covering. Fantastic texture, long lasting, doesn't crease, perfect. 

MAC Powder Blush in Peaches

RRP: $41.00

I was looking at a new blush, the shop assistant reccomended this one, I fell in love. Amazing texture, build able colour, iv had it for about a month, using it non stop and i haven't made a dint. 

HAIRDRESSER HAUL 

CPR Frizzy Control 

RRP: $22.50

I have used this product before and it stops my unruly hair from frizzing all over the place so my lovely hairdresser convinced my to buy it again which I'm very happy about!

Have you had any recent hauls? Or did you splurge a bit at the Priceline sale?
