Update : Spending ban

Hay guys,

It's been 2 weeks since i started my spending ban, I haven't bought anything which i'am so proud of!
It's very hard for me to pass up sales at priceline and other stores or when ever something jumps into my mind and i must go buy it.

Ive had a few cravings on buying a few things but i keep thinking NO, wait till you have saved up more.

i'am excited to have saved enough money to go buy whatever i want.

still at 106. something which is good, hopefully i can pick up a few more shifts and be able to earn a few extra $$


hope you guys are doing well,


lots of love

IHERB- Spend $40 get $10 off! (Real technique & physician formula and more!

Hay guys!

I no i rave about this site like no tommrow! but i wish they had done this coupon when i first ordered from iherb as you may have heard as they are well known for selling real technique brushes at US prices, which is by far the most amazing thing!

So if you use this PEW616 - you get $10 off when spending $40 omg what a great deal!
also shipping is so cheap $4- $6.

Two words no one wants to hear SPENDING BAN!

Hay guys,

Sorry haven't been blogging much lately, but now that i have a bit of free time today, i thought id tell you about whats been going on..

Tonight, my friend has a party and i'am going to be doing her makeup, funny considering we both do beauty school together, but its cute.

I found out a few days ago that my leavers is costing me double what i expect so, that annoys me as my parents are making me pay which is fair enough, but like ahhh so much money for what? a week.. least i will  $500 of that back if my naughty friends behave;), Also normally after i get my pay i spend it straight away cause i get a fornight to think about what iam gonna spend with next weeks pay so, this will be good to actually have saved some money

So saying this, this means i have to go on a spending ban, which i'am hoping to stick to!

Currently: $26.05 is in the saving account and in my normal account to pay for food for 2 weeks $17.00

Now i think i'am going to make some rules:
- Repuchases - If i feel like i really need it after having a few days with out it, or if its on special and i need it can buy it.
- NO OTHER PURCHASES APART FROM THESES REPURCHASES
 Avene Lotion Micellaire
 Avene Anti shine regulating Lotion
 Avene Clearance K
 Olay and Covergirl Serum Primer
- If i need something for leavers then i can buy it  e.g Fake tan, Getting nails done ect. (considering this is what iam saving for)
The Rest will just have to wait :(
- I think also maybe, if iam getting more for my money eg. Priceline bags (BUT ONLY IF THE PRODUCTS INSIDE ARE PRODUCTS I USE)

I think iam going to leave a little section on my blog on the money that i have saved to show my self and other people that i can do it, and they can do.
and i might to a catch up post about this and how iam finding it easy? or hard haha.

its also going to be very hard to bet the sales from priceline, cause i remeber i tired to do this last time and it was so hard.

ANYWAY, i have no choose but to do this.

JULY 2012- Favourites

Here is my favourites for July a bit late but here they are

Maybelline Color Tattoo's

MAC Studio Tint
For some time I've been looking for the right foundation/tinted moisturiser and i bought this a while back, i really like it is quite light coverage but i don't really mind that much if i'am just wearing it to school or to work. plus i uses mineral veil which is a little more colour.

MAC soft and gentle Skin finish
Everyone must have this one or something like it, i really like this one cause it gives the perfect highlight

NYX JUMBO pencil -Milk

Love using this its so amazing, devo about the prices in australia. But seriously its the best drugstore foundation i've tried and ill proberly keep using this till my skins says other wise.
I have done a review which can be found here

Revlon lipbutter- Lollipop
I wasnt to sure if i would like theses as my lips all ways leave lipstick looking weird ( depends what formula) and i was wondering if theses would do the same so i too a gamble and bought some but omg, they dont and there so nice.

MAC Mineralize skin finishes
I always use this now and then depending on how my skin is feeling.

Colorstay whipped Creme Foundation
I'am on the fence about this products as i have only used this a few times but to be honest its really light and creamy on the face which is why is its in my faves but i much prefer the original as it stays on longer.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer
This is a VERY yellow toned concealer but it is really nice once again for under eyes!
I bought this because heaps of people were blogging about it

Covergirl and olay serum Primer
Really love this primer, its so moisturising and i feel that it actually works

Fit Me Concealer
This is a really nice concealer, Very creamy and is really nice on the skin, Still trying it out as i bought it a few days ago.

Revlon Colorstay Foundation REVIEW

Hey beauties,
Tonight ill be doing a review on Revlon Colorstay Foundation, I've been planning on doing this forages!

I have the orignal colorstay in Combo/oily in the colour buff - i'am NW20 in MAC and buff is quite yellow toned but i prefer it cause it doesn't oxide orange.

Just to give you an idea of colour (Got this of google)
Ivory: NW 15 lightest of the bunch
Buff: NC20 best match for fair NCs
Sand Beige: NC20-25 with somewhat neutral undertones
Nude: NC25 with peachy undertones, definitely not for pinks or true golden
Natural Beige: NW20 tends to run pink
Medium Beige: NC27 between Sand Beige and Golden Beige
Fresh Beige: NW25 with pinky undertones
Golden Beige: NC30 with truest yellow/olive undertones
Warm Golden: NW30/NC30 with somewhat neutral undertones
True Beige: NW30 with pinky undertones (for Fresh Beige in summer)
Natural Tan: NC40/NC42 more neutral than golden caramel
Early Tan: NW35 with somewhat peach undertones
Rich Tan: NW35 with pinkish undertones
Golden Caramel: NC40/NC42 more golden than natural tan
Toast: NW43/NC45 with neutral undertones
Rich Ginger: NW45 very peachy-pink
Caramel: NC45 seems to run true to color
Cappucino: NC50 slightly more peach than Caramel
Mahogany: NW50/NC55 the darkest of NWs but not extremely peachy
Mocha: NW55 seems to be very cool toned, almost grey undertone


For a start this foundation is so expensive! 36 dollars a pop is just not going to be in my budget all the time, this made me a bit spectacle about buying it at first, but i got it on special and you can mostly get it on special which is good.

I find this this give a medium - full coverage, is quite a think consist but i find if :
1. place a blob or what you need on a back of a lid or something plastic ( Eg. Rimmel matte Lid)
2. Then blow on it so it spreads.
3. dip your brush in it and it is a thinner consist i feel

This product does cover most of my blemishes and quite a bit of redness

I cant recommend this product enough, i actually love it and i can defaintly noticest that my makeup isnt the best when i dont use this! 
AAHH LOVE IT.

I have tried the Revlon Creme makeup, even though it blend a bit better (orignal drys quicker) i prefer the original one, just lasts longer and better coverage.

OVERALL LOVE THIS GOING TO BE USING IT FOR HTE REST OF MY LIFE!
