Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i recently but a photo of this foundation on my instagram and asked who would like to see a review and i was inundated with 'yes'. So here it is. I have combination oily skin that leans towards the oily side especially in summer, I'm like a constant grease ball no matter what. So when i was in Sydney i wandered into Sephora in desperate need (not really) for a foundation, especially a higher end foundation as i don't particularly have higher end foundations. I got a sample of this foundation and the Kat Von D Lock-It foundation but of course they were sold out in my shade, so i purchased the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Full Coverage Foundation.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all this is a mousse type foundation, one that I've never owned before and i was so fascinated by its consistency. Its like I've whipped up egg whites and they're super fluffy. Anyway so i was drawn into it by the texture and it claiming to be full coverage which it is not. I used a beauty blender to apply this and it was in no way full coverage as i expected it to be, it was kind of medium coverage but its definitely build able. It doesn't set super quickly so its quite easy to work with and its very light on the face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I carried on with the rest of my face routine which includes setting my foundation with powder as i am super oily. I got about my day and i looked into the mirror at about 3-4pm and wow the foundation had parted on my face and gone all patchy and i was a shiny disco ball. Needless to say i was disappointed, i feel like Tarte lied to me hahah. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was expecting the longevity of Estee Lauder Double Wear and i got the longevity of Loreal True Match (doesn't last long on me). I feel like this foundation will be perfect in winter as my face is less oily and i think i will get a longer wear out of it but for summer its a no go right now especially with how hot it has been. I will continue to try it with different primers and applications etc but until now its a no go if you have super oily skin. I think this would suit either normal to combo skin or possibly even dry skin as its so light i don't think it will cling to dry patches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So those are my thoughts on Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation. Have you tried it before? what are your thoughts? Leave some comments below.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beginning of January i went to sydney for two weeks and of course Sydney has the first Australian Sephora. I'm not going to lie i went there about 7 times in the two weeks there. I didn't buy much makeup from Sephora because most of it was out of stock which sucked majorly because i feel like they should of been getting refills every week and have constant stock levels up which they didn't at all. The prices were average, they claimed to have US prices but i knew that would never happen because of taxes, import costs, shipping etc. Prices were kind of on par with Mecca, Myer etc so it was nothing major. It was also ridiculously busy all the time and hard to get anywhere around the store which i knew it would be like that. Im hoping next time i go back to Sydney they have better stock levels and the hype has calmed down. So enough of sephora, below are what i purchased with swatches swell, i hope you enjoy this post.</div>

Hello Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am back and ready to blog! My break was amazing as was my holiday and Sephora hehe. Okay enough of me, as the title suggests this post is about my favourite products from 2014. I have picked one from each kind of 'category' and ill explain a little about why i love it. I hope you enjoy this post.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Primer:</b> <i>Revlon Perfecting Primer</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a sly one that kind of crept into my every day routine. I grabbed this primer on a whim and probably the best drugstore purchased primer! As you know i have combination/oily skin and this makes my skin feel and look super flawless whilst keeping the oil at bay and helping prolong my makeup. PRICE</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Foundation:</b><i> Revlon Color Stay</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WOW i love this foundation. These are for the combination/oily skin and it works wonders! I have these in the shades, 150 Buff and 220 Natural Beige for when I'm tan. These are supposedly a cheaper dupe for Estee Lauder Double Wear and they totally are although these are only slightly cheaper at 34.95 AUD but generally Chemist Warehouse have 50% off Revlon cosmetics so i grab them then!.</div>

<b>Concealer:</b> <i>Mac Pro Longwear Concealer</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ahhh the infamous pro long wear concealer, every beauty blogger and youtuber raves about this and its totally understandable why. Its extremely full coverage and long wearing which i need cause i have some horrible dark circles. This still creases on me but every concealer creases on me but I've found myself reaching for this every day.</div>

<b>Powder:</b> <i>Australis Fresh and Flawless</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of my ride or die powders, it literally leaves you so flawless its beyond a joke and its so cheap at about 12AUD from Priceline, you literally can't go wrong. I have all three shades in Natural, Deep Natural and Darkest Brown. The shade range is tiny and i feel like they need to make more shades as this powder is simply amazing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Setting Powder: </b><i>BareMinerals Well-Rested</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use this as an under eye setting powder and its amazing. It a yellow slightly shimmery powder that does wonders for my under eyes preventing them from creasing majorly while also counteracting my dark circles. Its super cheap for 24AUD available from Kit Cosmetics or Mecca. I can see me repurchasing this forever and ever.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Blush:</b> <i>Hourglass Ambient Blush Palette</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Holy hell i don't know where to start with this, its soooo amazing. Its ridiculously pigmented and so beautiful i am so in love with this palette. Mood Exposure is my favourite blush out of this palette. I can see this lasting forever and I'm definitely wanting other HourGlass blushes.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Highlighter:</b> <i>Stila Kitten Duo</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although this isn't the notorious kitten colour these are variations of it and they're amazing highlighters. I use the light pink as an inner corner highlight and when I'm wearing a light pink blush. The champagne colour blends perfectly when wearing a rose gold coloured blush and its simply perfection. I have found myself grabbing this mainly for the light pink colour as its the perfect eye highlight</div>

<b>Brows:</b> <i>Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have raved about this product so much so i won't rave too much more. Its amazing and summer proof and leave me with brows to kill. I have used this every day since i got it and its totally my holy grail brow product.</div>

<b>Eyeshadow:</b> <i>Urban Decay Naked2 Basics</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have literally used this palette nearly every day since i got it. I absolutely love the original Naked2 palette although it has too many shimmery colours for every day wear so of course when this was released i jumped on the matte colours. I use this for day looks as well as night looks and everything in-between.</div>

<b>Mascara:</b> <i>Toofaced Better than Sex</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This mascara has changed my life. It is so ridiculously good its without doubt a close second to my holy grail mascara. It lengths and adds volume to my lashes and i use this nearly every day although apparently there is a world wide shortage of this mascara so i haven't been using it as much as i don't want to run out and not be able to repurchase it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So those are my absolute favourites from 2014 and i hope you enjoyed this post.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i thought id do this post purely because the next three weeks I'm away. Firstly I'm going to Busselton in WA for a festival called Southbound, where i will be camping over night as its a two day festival. Secondly after southbound i fly out to Sydney for almost two weeks. So todays post is about what ill be taking to sydney with me and more than likely Southbound too although not as much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Face Products:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiokoMZMl5HgKPMa_tcx0MqFseft5f7YInc1arelf2m-rysTH0VdXwiFzt1iXYTk8Ur163vJJek7E4Ybu3MBGsJ7ON0cTQVhx1KFzY3qvg082gqcni4VMN9D8GGhYTFRHy8jyapUiYjL5w/s1600/IMG_1320.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiokoMZMl5HgKPMa_tcx0MqFseft5f7YInc1arelf2m-rysTH0VdXwiFzt1iXYTk8Ur163vJJek7E4Ybu3MBGsJ7ON0cTQVhx1KFzY3qvg082gqcni4VMN9D8GGhYTFRHy8jyapUiYjL5w/s1600/IMG_1320.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Primers:</b> I need to bring two primers with me, because i will find it hard to use one product for two weeks. My choices are Benefit Porefessional and Bourjous Happy Light Matte primer. Ive been loving these two primers a lot lately, either by themselves or together, they're the perfect combo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Foundation:</b> Okay so im in a dilemma, im tanning for southbound but not for sydney otherwise ill either need to bring a zillion different foundations as the tan fades or tan again while in sydney which i don't exactly want to do, so hopefully by the time the festival is over my tan has faded enough that ill only need to bring two foundations. These choices are Loreal Infallible Foundation and Revlon Color Stay, these two foundations make me look flawless and stay on forever, perfect for exploring Sydney.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Concealers: </b>I forgot to include concealers in the photo but essentially ill be bring both my MAC prolong wear concealers as they're amazing and i don't think i need to explain them a anymore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Powders:</b> Ofcourse Australis Fresh and Flawless is in my travel bag because i want to be flawless duhh. Plus this is perfect for that in-between tan stage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Finishing Products:</b> Ill be bringing my Face of Australia translucent powder, MAC Fix+ and BareMinerals Well rested to set my under eye concealer. These three products make sure my face isn't going anywhere haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Blush/Contour/Highlighter: </b> Considering I'm bringing a lot of makeup i need to save on space somehow so fortunately i have the Nars Virtual Domination Palette. Its got all three products in it and they're all to die for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lipsticks: </b>Ofcourse i need to bring at least 5 different lipsticks because well i dunno what ill be wearing and a girl has to be prepared. My travel bag picks are Sportsgirl Pout About it in 'Duchess', Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick '1995', TooFaced Melted Lipstick in 'Peony', Mac Prep+ Prime Lip, Mac Lipstick in 'Mac Red', BeneBalm, Gerard Cosmetics lipgloss in 'Fiji'. Im just prepared</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Skin Care:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7v1ScKYmiPiKfTJou-FTw8va-P_m80aD1PzI-mO6-pFWt3DC5xwHmqMrNS_G2EgJrrNfLLNahVM2_wo_5GqXkyWlwtfJgZf3OVTfpy8L4lqMGz8FIwozruQJBth6eGGfqdOw-3UsJAQo/s1600/IMG_1328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7v1ScKYmiPiKfTJou-FTw8va-P_m80aD1PzI-mO6-pFWt3DC5xwHmqMrNS_G2EgJrrNfLLNahVM2_wo_5GqXkyWlwtfJgZf3OVTfpy8L4lqMGz8FIwozruQJBth6eGGfqdOw-3UsJAQo/s1600/IMG_1328.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't go two weeks without skincare, although this isn't as big as my skincare range at home this will do. Im bringing Sukin Rosehip Oil, ModelsPrefer Matte Me moisturiser which i absolutely love so much wow! Transformulas Eye lifting Gel because i aint got no time for bags. Ofcourse I'm bringing Lucas Pawpaw because i don't go anywhere without it. Last but not least ill be bringing Daisy Perfume by Marc Jacobs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So thats what in my travel bag, its probably too much but id rather be over prepared than under prepared. I hope you enjoyed this post.</div>

Hello my beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahhhhhhhh firstly wow its been forever and i have missed blogging a lot but i needed to take a break as i felt like blogging was a bit of a chore and university also got in the way but i am back!.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as the title suggests this post will be about Indeed Labratories and a few of their products i have tried. So please read on to find out what products i am loving of theirs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGbUFk7MRyiJHTZ0SrjFOfwjP2VmD2vpNB-r0tG2A_9LtWGEwU7ssc8inrjtemf1Z00fj2wPx4kdmdm8NEC2SBAyOwnILoPtKyP0JROQQFYk2rbhgj1X8kQ7QhHLsu-4-lgu21Bn0i9i4/s1600/IMG_0201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGbUFk7MRyiJHTZ0SrjFOfwjP2VmD2vpNB-r0tG2A_9LtWGEwU7ssc8inrjtemf1Z00fj2wPx4kdmdm8NEC2SBAyOwnILoPtKyP0JROQQFYk2rbhgj1X8kQ7QhHLsu-4-lgu21Bn0i9i4/s1600/IMG_0201.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask:</i> This mask is ah-friggen-mazing, there is no other way to explain it. It is a sheet mask and 4 masks come in the packet. These masks aim to release hyaluronic acid whilst on your skin which aims to hydrate your skin from beneath. It literally leaves my skin feeling like a babies bum! I don't have dry skin intact i have combination oily skin so i don't use these weekly, i instead use them monthly or whenever my skin feels a bit dry especially in winter. These masks retail for 29.99AUD which is kind of pricey for me anyway but they are definitely worth it especially if you don't use them weekly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Eysilix Instant Eye Rescue: </i> I am a sucker for eye creams, if you're a regular reader of my blog you will know i have dark circles and they are my biggest insecurity on my face, so gimme any eye cream that claims to 'rescue' my eyes and I'm there. This is quite a thick cream formula and goes on quite nicely although i found that if i rub my eyes a few hours after putting it on it has the tendency to ball up. I must say it hasn't 'rescued' my eyes from the horrendous bags but it does wonders on reducing puffiness. This retails for 34.99AUD and in my honest opinion there is better eye creams out there for girls with dark circles, but if you're only worried about puffiness then i would definitely give this a shot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Hydraluron:</i> This product when i first got it i was so confused on what exactly it was, but i am here to inform you its a serum, so now you can all sleep easy knowing i have figure this out for you hahah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously this stuff is amazing, i was using it religiously during winter when my skin has a tendency to get dry, i would put this on before my moisturiser at night to give it that extra moisture boost. This serum and the moisture boosting masks tie in so well together, i use the masks then i put this on before my moisturiser and my skin is #flawless. I highly recommend this product even if you have combination/oily or oily skin, i alternate between Hydraluron and Rosehip oil and my skin has never been better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that is all my thoughts on the Indeed Lab products i have used and loved. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i felt like i just HAD to do this blog post and show you lovely readers the new Australis Contouring and Highlighting kit. This is a new release from Australis and like almost every Australis product I'm very impressed. Its a supposed dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit which i don't own myself but i honestly feel like i don't need too after buying this baby. Its so pigmented and versatile its beyond a joke. There are three highlighting/lighter shades and three contouring/darker shades, all varying in colour so you can find the perfect highlight and contour for just about any skin tone. As i am quite of a fair skinned girl i find that using too much of the contouring powder can make me look muddy and disgusting so using a light hand is a definite. I also use this palette for not only contouring and highlighting but also for eyeshadow bases, highlighting the inner corners of my eyes and using the contouring shades as transition shades for eye shadows. Seriously if you're in Australia head to your local Priceline or purchase it online <a href="http://www.australiscosmetics.com.au/product/62341/ac-on-tour-kit" target="_blank">here</a> for only 16.95 AUD.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So seeing as my last 'Products I regret buying' post was so popular I thought id make this a monthly thing to go along side Monthly Favourite posts. Obviously i may not be able to do one of these monthly because i may love every product that month but lets be honest i highly doubt that will happen. So I'm hoping you have read my <a href="http://beautywithclairehull.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/september-favourites.html" target="_blank">September Favourites</a>. Continue reading to find out what i was hating this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Innoxa Age Erase Serum Foundation</i>*: I am so devastated about this product, the colour is absolutely perfecto for my skin colour and i honestly did love it to begin with but its staying power is horrendous, and it rubs off and goes patchy. Im not sure if its my skin as i have combination oily skin but it just doesn't work with my skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Benefit Dr. Feelgood:</i> I just don't even know what sort of product this is, is it a primer, is it a finishing powder, is it a blotting product i honestly just don't know. Luckily i didn't pay full price for this and i infact brought it off lady who was selling her back ups. Im honestly just confused by this product and thats probably the reason why its on this list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>L'Oreal Base Magique Primer:</i> Ahhh im so glad i got this little sample in one of my Bella Box's before i splurged and brought the full sized product. This is a hard primer to work with, it leaves your skin looking smooth but after an hour its kind of like 'lol joke' oil city. It makes me so oily and disgusting i don't even know why i haven't thrown it out yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Covergirl Bombshell Liquid Eyeliner:</i> Im not sure if this product should really be on this list because its more of a 'Its not you, its me' I literally cannot use felt tipped liquid eyeliner pens. For the life of me i have tried and tried and i just can't. Gimme a liquid eyeliner with a little brush and I'm fine, gimme a felt tipped eyeliner and i am like a kid who doesn't colour in the lines. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Benefit Fakeup Concealer: </i>Wow another Benefit product on this list, this isn't right. But honestly this concealer is way too creamy for me. It claims to be crease proof but i have never met a concealer that has creased on me so much. I feel like this product would work wonders on someone with a dry eye area but for me its a big no no.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Bourjous CC Eye Cream:</i> This product is supposed to be Color Corrective, but it honestly makes my eyes look worse. Im not sure if its supposed to be used under another product or by itself, but it just doesn't work for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>BioElixia Multi Action Eye Serum:</i> Im actually shocked i don't like this product because i absolutely loved BioElixia's Eye Brightening cream! But this product just balled up on my face and made my under eyes feel dry. I would put it on in the night and the next morning i would rub my face and it would still ball up, i wasn't using a lot of product either and i was rubbing it in a lot! So disappointing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm:</i> Oh i had such high hopes for this but it let me down so much. It swatches beautifully like a beautiful corally orange but it goes on patchy and disgusting and it makes my lips so dry needless to say its got no lasting power at all. Im so devastated cause its such a nice colour.<br />
<br />
So those are all my product dislikes this month, i hope you enjoyed them and let me know what you think in the comments below!<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

Hello Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gaaaahhhh I've missed this, I've missed relaxing and blogging and just talking to my beauty gals (yeah i do feel like I'm just having a convo when writing posts) Anyway lets not get too off track. I missed August favourites because lets be honest i didn't even have time to consider any favourites or even think of anything. But now i am back with a jam packed september favourites, so keep reading to find out what i was loving this september!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmMaBqxCrAKrb8PKebazRec_KpA7slJJFzzYPVc-OeD4lbvuM-LNVUSSo41F7m4PRLgBZeYkzxSqaLXs86jMgNkGCi9GL8mNYNu3lHkStPawCGuBObeulnLsfi-wE9pArFqa38KM_OTXs/s1600/IMG_8004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmMaBqxCrAKrb8PKebazRec_KpA7slJJFzzYPVc-OeD4lbvuM-LNVUSSo41F7m4PRLgBZeYkzxSqaLXs86jMgNkGCi9GL8mNYNu3lHkStPawCGuBObeulnLsfi-wE9pArFqa38KM_OTXs/s1600/IMG_8004.JPG" height="390" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Loreal Infallible Foundation:</i> So i brought this because I'm a mega sucker for anything that claims to stay on my face for 24hrs, sadly this doesn't BUT it does give me a friggen flawless look, i pair this with Australis Fresh and Flawless powder and bam my skin looks so flawless I'm not going to lie. Its perfect wear for about 5 hours then its kind oily but everything gets kinda oily on my face so its not biggy. Its kinda pricey for 'drugstore' but i definitely recommend picking this bad guy up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Maybelline Fit Me Concealer:</i> Ive had this for awhile and i mean i loved it but i didn't use it much because i felt the colour which is the lightest may i add was too yellow for me. But i don't know whats come over me but i have been looooving this so much lately, it really does 'fit me' on application it looks too yellow but then i buff it in and set it and bam you never know. It doesny crease and it lasts all day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Milani Clear Brow Gel:</i> I got this little baby when i ordered off of beauty joint because i needed a clear brow gel. This isn't like hard core could last just about anything gel but it doesn't hold my brow hairs in place and feels quite soft. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>SmashBox Limitless Eyeliner:</i> This little guy has been like a growing love affair. I mean I'm not a massive fan of water lining and tight linig but when i do i grab this dude. It stays on no matter what, its amazingly pigmented and buttery and glides on like a dream. Im definitely going to be buying a full sized one when this one runs out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Stila Kitten Highlighter Duo:</i> Ahhhh i love this duo, although it doesn't contain the actual notorious kitten colour, it is variations of that colour. One side a beautiful soft shimmery pink and on the other side is a champagne pink. I love the soft pink for highlighting the inner corners of my eyes and my brow bone. The champagne colour is perfect for highlighting when using my next favourite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Benefit Rockateur Box O'Powder:</i> Ahhhh i love benefit blushes so much! This one is a perfect rose gold colour perfect for spring and summer. I actually never thought id really like this blush but boy was i wrong. It goes perfectly with the champagne highlighter from the Stila Kitten Duo, oh so summery.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sportsgirl Pout About It 'Duchess':</i> I think i have found my holy grail pinky nude lipstick. So you guys know how much i love Sportsgirl Lipsticks, so anyway when this came in i felt like the heavens opened up and sung a pretty song. I have been wearing this constantly since buying it and i probably should invest in some backups.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Chapstick Cake Batter Lipbalm:</i> Lets be honest i was a fan of chapstick but i never really brought them. So when this guy was released i needed to try it because who doesn't like cake batter? This is perfect for just throwing in your bag and going anywhere with you plus it is like a little pick me up when you put it on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sportsgirl Skin Smoothie Vanilla:</i> omg where has this product been all my life. This is a new release and kind of a new version to sports girl's body butters, i loved the vanilla body butter but this skin smoothie is something different. It smells amazingly divine and makes your skin oh so smooth.<br />
<br />
<i>Transformulas Eye Lifting Gel:</i> This is a new one to Priceline and i was so kindly gifted this product. Im always apprehensive with eye products claiming to be an eye lift in a bottle which is exactly what Transformula's are claiming. But boy am i impressed, if you're a regular here you know i have dark bags and circles under my eyes that are the bain of my existence but i have been loving this the past month, i apply it after my shower and i wake up in the morning with my dark circles barely there. I was actually shocked when i stayed at my boyfriends and didn't use this product and the next morning my dark circles were horrendous, thats when i realised i need this baby in my life forever.<br />
<br />
So those are the products i have been loving this September! Stay tuned for my new blog series called 'Its not me, its you, September Not so Favourites' Were ill be dishing the dirt on the products i just didn't love this september and probably won't love any other month<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
<br />
Love Always,<br />

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahhhh my long lost beauty lovers, i miss you all! Just a quick note if you don't follow me on instagram, i won't be blogging as much until about october due to a massive load on myself such as uni, study, working part time, dancing, helping my sister plan a wedding, trying to see my boyfriend and maintain some what of a social life, blogging kind of takes a back seat to that and i haven't exactly been looking after my health as of late either, my mental health in particular. So I'm just going to focus on me for awhile then ill be back blogging as usual when I'm fabulous again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay so now thats out of the way, the fun stuff! I have been collecting all these empties for awhile now, okay not really like a month or two but still! Ive been collecting them because this is one of my most requested blog posts. So keep on reading if you wanna find out what i loved enough to use til the end!</div>

So let me just start with i got these when they were 40% off at one of price lines 40% off haircare sales, otherwise lets be honest i probably wouldn't of brought these because I'm a broke uni student that loves makeup way more than hair care. Besides that i didn't find that using this shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel softer which i would of expected considering they're approx. $17.95AUD from Priceline, nor did i feel that it stop breakage of my hair which is the main reason i got them because i have long hair that not so much breaks but falls out all of the time. I just felt underwhelmed with these but i used them til the end because they were in my shower and I'm lazy haha</div>

These are such a nifty idea, one side is smooth and one side is bumpy. The idea is that you use the smooth side to remove all your makeup then the bumpy side to exfoliate. I actually loved these wipes a lot which is a big deal considering i don't use wipes often because i was my face every night and when i go out I'm usually too tired to do anything but sleep when i get home (gasps). These are designed for oily/impure skin which i think is good swell, I'm unsure if they come in other skin combinations too but they're definitely worth checking out</div>

AHHHH i absolutely love these they have the holiest of holy grail status in the museum of holy grails. I literally can't live without them, when i run out i don't know what to do with myself and i actually steer clear of all eye products except mascara until these are in my possession again. One side is pointed and the other side is flat, perfect for perfecting liquid eyeliner without wiping all of it off. I actually freaked out when i couldn't find these for a few days, i went to about 10 different shops and nowhere had them and i nearly had a melt down, but i found them and brought about 10 packets..</div>

I brought this when it first came out which was about beginning of the year and its only just ran out now which i think is amazing. I use this after i have washed my face in the shower so i really only use it to get any left over makeup off and to get rid of panda eyes. Regardless it does a good job of removing makeup and it doesn't irritate my skin or eyes which is a big thing because lately my eyes have been sensitive. Although i do find when i want to use it to take all my makeup off it takes a lot to get every bit off. Regardless i can't fault this baby</div>

This was my first ever finishing powder and i feel like i need to pat myself on the back for choosing such a beauty. This product is so finely milled and soft and wow its what dreams are made of. It leaves your skin feeling baby soft and sets your makeup amazingly even for oily skin and it doesn't give a white flash back in photos! I mean for $12.95 AUD i didnt expect a product to be this amazing, but then again Australis never fails!</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all i'd like to apologise for being MIA lately, I've been super sick with bronchitis, conjunctivitis and pneumonia and I'm still getting over it all whilst I've been going to uni, working part-time, dancing, trying to have a social life and help my sister plan her wedding. So unfortunately blogging has taken a back seat and will continue to until my life calms down a bit which i don't see happening for awhile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So anyway today ill be talking about my top 4 foundations! These foundations are my all time favourites and my most used. Unfortunately i don't own many foundations these top 4 were my only foundations until last month when i managed to get some other foundations, but regardless they are top 4 worthy products so read on to find out what foundations they are.</div>

This isn't the first time I've spoken about this foundation and it definitely won't be the last. This foundation feels so light on your skin and it makes your skin feel like its able to breathe whilst giving a flawless look. I must admit when i first started using this I didn't like it because I felt like it was just like a BB Cream with a little more coverage but it grew on me and now I love it. The only down fall is it doesn't have very good staying power at all, on me it last a max of 5 hours if I'm at uni or at a squeeze it may last all day if I have a quiet day at work, but its still a wonderful foundation.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I honestly didn't think I would like this foundation as much as I do. I brought this for when I am tan purely cause my best friend uses this when she is tan and I know it suits my tan well. It literally doesn't look orange or patchy and it literally squashes any doubts I had about using a darker foundation (I've always been scared too incase it came out orange). I like that the colour range for this foundation is quite of a range in colours which I think is super good. Although i do find that it is true to the name of 'Match Perfection' where i feel like it adjusts to my skin tone a bit and ends up a bit lighter than my tan but thats nothing a bit of powder won't fix. It does also have a dewy finish which i don't exactly like purely because I have combination skin but that is easily fixed as well.</div>

I won't harp on too long about this product although its technically not a foundation i definitely needed to include it. I love love love this BB cream it is purely amazing. I find it has more coverage than a normal BB cream but it feels so light and weightless and breathable on your skin all while being super moisturising as well. Its got SPF 30 which i love because I don't actually put sunscreen on my face unless I'm going out into the sun all day like at the beach or wherever because sunscreen makes me break out and makes my skin super oily so this product is like my saviour in summer as well for days where my face my catch a little bit of rays.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but not least one of my holy grail foundations. I love this a lot probably as much as every other Lauren Curtis lover loves it. Its literally an amazing foundation that leaves you looking flawless and fresh until the end of the day which I found it oxidises on my face by the end of the day, but not all the time which I find weird. Anyway this has amazing coverage and its so buulable and just wow, i don't think there is really much else to say about this product because you have all probably heard it a thousand times before.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post as the title suggests is about Benefit Cosmetics, which if you follow me on instagram you will know that Benefit is my favourite brand ever which is a big call to make. The love affair with Benefit started in 2013 when i was in Melbourne, i needed a new concealer so naturally i went to MAC because i was young and naive anyway i stood at the MAC counter for 15 minutes and wasn't even acknowledged or anything, even though two employees looked at me so i walked away because i wasn't going to give my money to a store that didn't acknowledge my presence. So i wandered over to Benefit where i was greeted by this infectiously bubbly employee who was more than willing to help me. I ended up walking away with more than intended but boy am i glad she up sold as i wouldn't of experienced possibly my favourite Benefit product ever. The purpose of this post is to give you a bit of my opinion on Benefit products and to share my favourite products as i still find quite a lot of people unsure about Benefit products. So read on to find out my favourite products<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>the POREfessional Primer</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a cult favourite without a doubt and is probably one of the most talked about primers I've found. Its a pore minimising primer that is also oil free and leaves your skin feeling silky and smooth and keeping your makeup on all day. I have combination oily skin and big pores so this baby is my saviour. I don't use it all over my face but instead i opt to use it just in places needed. Its quite pricey as its $53AUD but you can get it online on the Benefit site for cheaper.</div>

<b>Hervana</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Benefit is renowned for their Box o'Powders which are essentially blushes in beautiful boxes. Im a sucker for packaging and Benefit always manages to ace it in that division. Anyway Hervana is a beautiful rose coloured blush that is so subtle but at the same time noticeable as well. Perfect for lighter skinned girls like myself, plus it smells amazing sometimes i just smell it because i can haha.<br />

<b>Hoola</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hoola is another Box o'Powder but this time its a matte bronzer that is perfect for contouring. The one i have is a deluxe sample i got in a kit my parents brought me for christmas and its lasted so long its astounding. This is another cult favourite as its the perfect contour shade no matter what skin colour you are. I will definitely be buying the full sized product once this one runs out which i don't see happening anytime soon.</div>

<b>BeneBalm</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a new one to the collection but i can already tell its here to stay. These were only recently released on the US site and only very recently released in Australia i think last week. Anyway these balms are balm form of the infamous tints that Benefit makes, this one is of Benetint. I love the tints but i mainly use them for lip stains so when they released these i jumped on them. They are so easy to apply and you don't even require a mirror to apply them and they are super moisturising swell as their staying power is amazing. I am definitely going to buy all four of these.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Brows A Go-Go</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahhhh last but not least Brows A Go-Go is literally my holiest of holy grails ever in the hall of holy grail products. This product is amazing and what started my love for Benefit and for brows in general. It contains two matte powders and a pomade swell as a powder and cream highlighter and tweezers and a little brush and mini eyeliner. As you can see this is well loved and sadly its coming to an end but its lasted me almost two years and i use it daily. The powders last all day and are perfect to fill in my brows and the pomade was good to fill in my gaps and line my brows. Im sad that they're not selling this anymore of the US site but once this runs out i will probably purchase Brow Zings which is similar to Brows A Go-Go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So those are my holiest of holy grail Benefit products that are my go to's no matter what. I have so many products that i highly rate and i haven't actually used one of their products that i haven't loved. So if you're unsure about Benefit i definitely recommend going into one of their counters and having a play with their products or even getting your eyebrows done at their brow counter. </div>

Hello Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its that time of month again! and not the bad time of month either hahah. You know the drill by now ill just show you what i was reaching for this month which has drastically changed since last month cause my skin has gone crazy and dry and weird. So read on to find out what my favourites are!.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Indeed Labatories Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask and Serum*: </i>These are two different products that i was so kindly sent to try out and i am so glad i tried them out. The masks are sheet masks and they come with 4 in the packet. I find they're quite moist for sheet masks but so so so hydrating! I generally have soft skin that isn't really ever dry except the rare occasion in winter but these masks make my face feel like a baby bum! As for the serum i alternate between the serum and my rose hip oil just to keep the moisture in my face and its a wonderful light serum that i think would be perfect if you had super dry skin. I will definitely be repurchasing these products and possibly some more Indeed Lab products considering I'm so impressed with these ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Strepsils Plus Lozegenes:</i> So i thought id include this one for a bit of a laugh, considering most of july i was super sick. I actually cursed myself because at the beginning of july i actually said 'Oh i haven't used up any of my sick days' the next day i woke up with a horrendous cold that only got worse and developed into bronchitis and conjunctivitis, who knew bronchitis could cause conjunctivitis. Needless to say these babies soothed my throat and kinda helped lessen the feeling that i was swallowing razor blades. Ahhh the joys of winter</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>MaxFactor Excess Volume</i> <i>Mascara*: </i>This mascara is huge, like I could probably knock someone out with how big it is. That being said it does have two wands, one for voluminzing and one for darkening and they both do such a wonderful job! I absolutely love this mascara and definitely recommend it to everyone!<br />
<br />
<i>Maybelline Fit Me Concealer: </i>Ive heard good things about this concealer so of course being the makeup lover i am i went and brought it. I was actually surprised how much i like this concealer cause sadly every other Maybelline face product i have used just hasn't agreed with my skin.<br />
<br />
<i>Smashbox Color Adjusting Primer:</i> I got a sample of this from kit and i loved it so much i got a full tube. I have quite a lot of redness in the morning mainly under my nose and on my nose and sometimes foundation doesn't cover it so this primer is perfect!<br />

<br />
<br />
<i>theBalm Girls Lipstick in 'Ima Goodkisser'*: </i>This lipstick is the perfect peachy corally shade that goes perfect with stripes and boyfriend jeans i found. It smells divine and is so moisturising as well.<br />
<br />
<i>theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer: </i>Ahhh finally i have this after lusting over this highlighter for months! So of course I'm using it all the time and its such a perfect champagne gold highlighter that doubles as an eyeshadow too. I can't wait to try the other 'Manizers' out.<br />
<br />
<i>theBalm Instain Blush in Argyle*: </i>I feel like this blush is the perfect shade no matter what time of year it is. These blushes are designed to stain your cheeks for super long wearing which i love about this blush. Its so beautifully pigmented and just wow i want all the Instain Blushes.<br />
<br />
So those are my July favourites. I hope you enjoyed this post.<br />

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is an exciting post for me because if you follow my instagram you'll know by now that I'm a lover of drug store products and most of my collection is drug store as I'm a broke uni student and I'm always on the hunt for bargains. So i decided i would share my absolute favourite products that are under $20AUD. As I'm from Australia its actually amazing when drugstore products are under $20 as the mark up over here is ridiculous which sucks but I'm not going to dwell on it because I'm used to it and thats just how it is. So read on to find out my beauty favourites for under $20.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5E45FJ66J8HIQC2wGTZAbVf-RVFko7b6ZJWe_819a5bV_Tqp4ADdilsYcPhMm73xKxWJkyYyDk1vKwwxBXRbOMQom8ioVypOHwQp2VdHioKX2JWX-0GCHsjmA7cdQ5Ubd-u8totJw_98/s1600/IMG_6025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5E45FJ66J8HIQC2wGTZAbVf-RVFko7b6ZJWe_819a5bV_Tqp4ADdilsYcPhMm73xKxWJkyYyDk1vKwwxBXRbOMQom8ioVypOHwQp2VdHioKX2JWX-0GCHsjmA7cdQ5Ubd-u8totJw_98/s1600/IMG_6025.jpg" height="287" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Models Prefer Perfect Canvas Mattifying Primer: </i>This primer has been mentioned in so many posts because well i really love it! I have combination/oily skin and this does wonders to my skin. Definitly worth checking out as its only about $16.99AUD and it last forever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Australis Fresh and Flawless Pressed Powder: </i>Whenever i write about this powder the song 'I will always love you' by Whitney Houston instantly starts playing in my head. I have been using Australis for what seems forever and i will continue to use it forever. This powder literally leaves you looking flawless and its amazing and compact and so easy to just throw in your bag for touch ups during the day. The only down side is there are literally only 3 shades available and i have all three, the darkest being for when I'm tan and its not even dark at all. That being said if you are lighter skinned or tanned definitely give this baby a go as its only $11.40AUD.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigmB5dMSV-0tscDkCBZSGyyJmtFJH3mU1zzzTEujMx7JGM9rnJkVMeNhUJ8jeK5hWYXrx7p2UXQROYvh0x6YlM3KZ3IaVqCkFRaLnFIyGvZtB1WCCievEtAz8FQBEOG70VtqlK59OCcZM/s1600/IMG_6026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigmB5dMSV-0tscDkCBZSGyyJmtFJH3mU1zzzTEujMx7JGM9rnJkVMeNhUJ8jeK5hWYXrx7p2UXQROYvh0x6YlM3KZ3IaVqCkFRaLnFIyGvZtB1WCCievEtAz8FQBEOG70VtqlK59OCcZM/s1600/IMG_6026.jpg" height="317" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer: </i>This baby is amazing! I have horrendous dark circles and for a drug store concealer this little guy is always saving me from looking like i haven't slept in 10 years. As per the 'unwritten rules of drugstore products' there is only a few shades of this concealer but I'm fair so this is perfect. Its about $18AUD and I've had this for awhile now. Its a bit on the higher end for a concealer but its definitely worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Australis Finishing Powder: </i>This finishing powder is so finely milled for a drug store product it constantly amazes me. It leaves your skin so soft and keeps your makeup amazing all day and its something ridiculous like $12AUD so its practically a steal and wow. I will always repurchase this finishing powder and i have recommended it to so many people that are just buying their first finishing powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Nyx Blush: </i>This isn't drugstore per say because its from Target but still its under 20 dollars and i love it so I included it. This is in the shade 'Pinched' which is supposedly a dupe for Nars 'Orgasm' Blush which i don't actually own. Regardless this blush is so pigmented and full of colour with a tiny gold flecks in it which you can just notice when you put it on. I literally always grab this blush when I'm unsure what colour i feel like wearing. I wish we had more colours of the Nyx blushes in Australia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Maybelline Color Tattoo: </i>This guy is probably my most worn eyeshadow ever, its in the shade 'Barely Branded' and it literally is the most perfect everyday shade to wear. Its a light cream colour with the tiniest hint of shimmer and it stays on forever, to the point that i have to scrub my eyes to get it off. The only downside is that i found using a brush to apply this just doesn't work as it can come out quite patchy and weird but thats because the product is in cream form and i think it needs to be warmed up a little before hand, so i just use my ring finger to apply it which warms it up as well and its perfect. I literally went through a stage where i wore this everyday for about a month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Mascara: </i>This is probably the longest used product i have in my makeup collection, i have been repurchasing this since it came out which was a few years ago now and before this i was using the Falsies mascara by Maybelline which i think is exactly the same. Either way i absolutely love this mascara as it lengths and adds volume without making my eyelashes clumpy at all, which is hard because i have long spidery lashes which are sometime impossible to build volume with but this bad guy always saves the day. I will always repurchase this mascara no matter what.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as the title suggested this is the second instalment of my quest to find a dupe for the Beauty Blender. I won't go into too much detail about what the Beauty Blender is as you can read it <a href="http://beautywithclairehull.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/the-quest-to-find-beauty-blender-dupe.html" target="_blank">here</a> in my first instalment of this quest. I was suggested by one of my followers on instagram to try the Manicare Precision Blending Sponge, so of course i couldn't pass it up when it was on sale at priceline for $3.99AUD. Read on to find out my experience with it.<br />
<br />

<br />
Okay so as you can see its actually a completely different shape to the BB but i understand the reasoning behind the different shape. The idea was the wider bottom is for the base such as foundations and the pointed top is for concealers and blending out highlights and contours etc. In theory the shape is well thought out but it just wasn't working for me. I didn't wet it like you usually wet the BB as i had asked my instagram followers if they had wet theirs and the general consensus was no. The blending sponge isn't as squishy (great wording) as the BB in a way that it feels quite a lot more denser and harder like i could throw it and it would bounce back.<br />
<br />
So those were my first impressions before i even began using the sponge. I applied my foundation to the bottom of the sponge and started a bouncing action on my face as i would with the BB, and ouch it hurt a lot! I never thought a blending sponge could actually hurt my face and induce a headache as much as the Manicare Blending Sponge did, that being said i was getting sick so my body and pain receptors were not exactly working very well. I actually couldn't finish my face using the Blending sponge as it hurt my face that much and i wasn't using force behind it either, it also sucked up my makeup and didn't deposit much on my face at all.<br />
<br />
So needless to say that the Manicare Precision Blending Sponge is definitely not a dupe for the BB and I personally wouldn't recommend buying it at all unless you want to have a sore face after doing your makeup. So the quest to find a Beauty Blender dupe continues..<br />
<br />
Until next time.<br />
<br />
Love Always,<br />

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Todays post wasn't a planned one until my gal <a href="http://confessionsofamake-upaddict.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">beautybybek</a> tagged me to do the Lip Product Addict Tag. I actually had never heard of it until Bek tagged me in it. If you follow my blog or instagram you will know that I'm a makeup hoarder in general, i don't discriminate against any beauty products that i hoard, but i do have a special spot for primers, lipsticks and blushes. Im a huge fan of pink lipsticks as well as nudes and corals and i also love the occasional lilac lip once in awhile. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly always have lip balm on me, like i don't actually think youll ever see me without a lip balm in my bag, its pretty much and essential part of living for me. My lips have the tendency to get quite dry quite quickly so I'm always applying lip balm to prevent that because nothing annoys me more than chapped lips. Chapsticks Night time Repair is a night favourite of mine, i lather it on before i go to sleep and wake up with baby soft lips. Nivea Lip Butter in Caramel Butter is my absolute favourite lip balm ever (apart from Lucas PawPaw) it smells divine and it stays on my lips for hours on end, it also keeps my lips super hydrated. Another one of my must haves is Lucas PawPaw Ointment which isn't pictured because I've just run out of it, but its so handy to always have.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am as much as a sucker for red lips as the next girl, i just think they're so classical and go with almost anything. My favourite eye catching red is MAC Red because its a beautiful classical red thats got just the right amount of depth in it and it lasts all day. My opinion is red lips and stripes never go a stray.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i don't own a lot of 'luxury' products unless you count MAC, Benefit and other higher end brands 'luxury' so my favourite luxury lipstick is the Napoleon Perdis DeVine Goddess Lipstick in 'Hess'. This colour is the perfect nude colour with a bit shimmer, i actually wore it to my year 12 ball and i kind of forgot about it for awhile then rediscovered it this year and haven't let it go since. My favourite drugstore lipstick would have to be Sportsgirl Pout About It Lipstick in 'Beauty Queen'. This colour is the perfect pale pink and goes with literally everything and suits just about everyone. Although it isn't 'drugstore' its still drugstore price and quality is on point.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So until this year i owned one MAC lipstick as i never really set foot in a MAC store for about a year and a bit after a bad experience at one of their counters. Needless to say I'm so glad i brought Saint Germain as it is the perfect barbie pink and i love that its not matte because I'm kind of over matte lipsticks to be honest. This pink is nothing like any pink lipstick I've ever purchased and thats precisely why i love it, it makes you stand out.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Nyx Soft Matte Lipstick in Tokyo Tokyo is without doubt the most disappointing lipstick that i own. I expected so much especially after using Australis Velour Lips which have amazing staying power, this Nyx Matte Lipstick is nothing like them. I love the colour but the staying power is horrendous and i found that it cracked on my lips after only a short amount of time. So many people love these lipsticks but I'm definitely not one of them.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So i don't own any lipliners (gasps) I'm not entirely sure why but i just don't feel the need to own any. The closest to lipliners that i own are the Sportsgirl Pucker Up Lip pencils, although i don't actually use them as lip pencils i use them as lipsticks, but when I'm feeling a little wild ill do a bit of a darker pink lip liner then a soft pink on my lips.<br />

This little Benefit Hoola Lip Gloss is the most used lipgloss i own. It smells divine and has the tiniest hint of shimmer in it. Im not a big wearer of lipgloss because i hate when my hair gets caught in my lipgloss which is often i must say considering i have long hair. But when i do i always seem to grab this little guy, it actually is perfect over a nude lipstick as its quite sheer but has a tan tinge to it. Perfect for a summer touch up as well.<br />

I couldn't not do this post without mentioning the Australis Velour Lips which are matte lipsticks that are purely amazing. When they first came out i saw 'Mal-I-Bo' which is the hot pink and i fell in love, sadly i didn't have any money to buy it at the time but i vowed to go back the week later and buy it, needless to say i didn't need to go and buy it as my best friend brought it for me for my birthday before i could go buy it. Its my favourite lipstick ever as it stays on forever and doesn't dry my lips, as for the purple which is 'Tok-i-o' it is such a beautiful rich purple that for some reason makes me feel like a teenage witch even though I'm not a teenager (I've clearly been watching too much Sabrina the Teenage Witch). I do believe though that not all the colours of this range are available anymore which sucks but definitely go and grab one if you can.<br />
<br />
So that is my Lip Product Tag, I'm actually not going to tag anyone specially but instead I'm tagging all you beauty bloggers and beauty lovers who are reading it now. If you decide to do the tag leave a comment below so i can read it.<br />

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is actually one of my most requested posts since I've started my blog. Ive always had naturally well shaped eyebrows I'm not going to lie, I've literally grown up with people telling me i have amazing eyebrows. This was until my eyebrow waxer started hacking at my brows leaving me with tiny thin brows and seeing as i split my brow open when i was about 12 and i have a gap in my brow where hair doesn't grow. I decided to grow my brows out and went to a Benefit Brow Bar and the lady that does my brows is a goddess! She has literally saved my brows. So below are some pictures and a little bit of what i do to create my full brows. I hope you enjoy.</div>

<i><b>Step 1:</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To begin with i use a spooly to comb my brows into the shape i want. I then use my EcoTools Eyebrow brush and slightly dip it into my Anastasia BH Dipbrow and line the top of my brows and then line the bottom of my brows to outline the shape i am aiming for. I then use upwards motions with the brush to blend in the bottom line and also to fill in the gap i have from splitting my brow open.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After i have lined my brows and filled in where the hairs don't grow, I then go over with Benefit Brows A -Go-Go which is my holy grail brow product and actually the first product i ever brought from Benefit. It comes with two brow colours as well as a pomade which I've used up and two highlighter colours swell as a brush and tweezers. Anyway now i have darker hair i use the darker shade of brown to fill in the rest of the gaps and to make them look fuller. I do this using the Real Techniques Eyebrow Brush which is amazing. I then go back over with the spooly just to get the few stray hairs i may have missed.</div>

<b><i>Step 3:</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but not least to define my brows more and to clean them up a bit i line and highlight under my brows with Benefit Boi-ing in Light. I do this using the Real Techniques Precision Brush which i find perfect for doing this step. I then blend it out with the brush a little then use my pinky finger to blend the rest out a little more.</div>

So that is my brow routine, its kind of hard to master and don't get me wrong somedays i still do them and i just end up looking like i have caterpillars as brows. This is just how i do my brows but in noway is this post intended as it being the correct way because there is no correct way to do brows, you can do them how you like wether they be gradient or full like mine, their your brows so do them how you wish and how you like to do them. Remember beauties there is no rules for makeup, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable.</div>

Hey beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post is going to be a long one as i decided to combine both my winter beauty essentials and my winter skincare essentials. I generally have combination/oily skin in most seasons apart from winter where my skin goes dry and feels tight in a way (if that makes sense). So i actually need to change what skincare products i use and even what makeup i use. This post will be split into beauty and skincare, so read on to find out what my essentials are!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Skincare Essentials:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lip Care:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Winter is notorious for drying peoples lips out, mine included. This is due to going from hot and cold, so pretty much one extreme to another as well as the wind generally dries lips out. I literally always have lip balm on me no matter what, i kinda feel naked without it. Im constantly putting lip balm on when I'm not wearing lipstick. But this winter my lips have been feeling super chapped no matter what i do, luckily Chapsticks Night Repair has been my saviour so has Lush Cosmetics Bubblegum Lip scrub which scrubs away all the flakey bits. I lather on the Night repair just before i go to bed and it soothes my lips over night.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Moisturisers and Face Masks:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Winter is when i overload on facial moisturisers and start using heavier nightly moisturisers and more hydrating moisturisers. BioElixia Eye Brightening fluid has changed my life, it literally makes my eyes less puffy and more bright which i love, i have a full review available <a href="http://beautywithclairehull.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/bioelixia-skincare.html" target="_blank">here</a> so jump on over to read my full thoughts on it. I was also sent IndeedLabs Hydraluron* which is a hydrating serum that is said to penetrate the skins surface to provide lasting hydration, i use this every second day after i shower to provide my skin with that extra bit of hydration that it needs during winter. As for the face mask, i love love love Formula 10.06 face masks and i think this one is the best I've used. It brings out an impurities and helps clear your pores and it leaves my skin super soft and clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Body Lotions:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im a sucker for soft skin no matter what time of the year, and i literally have raved about SugarBaby's Hello Hamptons hand and body cream in Coconut and Vanilla so many times, purely because its amazing. Its something like $12.95AUD which is pretty cheap and it leaves my skin so soft and amazing. It also smells so heavenly, definitely worth taking a look at. Even though its also a hand cream i also love the Dirty Works Hand Cream which contains Cocoa Butter and Jojoba Oil and it smells heavenly. I have only recently started using it and i must say it makes my hands super soft and i haven't had any dry cracked hands this winter which i must say is due to using this hand cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSmW1c-Y2eAmF21s3H93w2y4qAA2ALC9KYJdD88pzXkCj2MCdQBkiiDjjfHIOh1b6umFmKq-eeiReuGKZ3xgbI2OPjTJro6QH_doncONxrvfA8fe1yE85Dt3z1e0rxZ7XniIu8L9FPgXE/s1600/IMG_5811.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSmW1c-Y2eAmF21s3H93w2y4qAA2ALC9KYJdD88pzXkCj2MCdQBkiiDjjfHIOh1b6umFmKq-eeiReuGKZ3xgbI2OPjTJro6QH_doncONxrvfA8fe1yE85Dt3z1e0rxZ7XniIu8L9FPgXE/s1600/IMG_5811.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Miscellaneous Skincare:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So these two products aren't even skin care really but i thought id include them. Marc Jacobs is notorious for his amazing perfumes which always smell like flowers and generally have a flowery name to them. I literally always have one or two Marc Jacobs perfumes that i rotate but lately I've been finding myself reaching for Lola more often. I find its a beauty winter perfume that smells flowery and musky but more winter based (if that makes sense), if any one has Daisy which is quite a summery scent this is the winter version of that which is more of a winter scent. Last but not least for skincare is the Face of Australia Instant Tan, this was raved about in one of Lauren Curtis's earlier videos and i understand why. I actually generally don't tan in winter because who wants to be standing around waiting for your tan to dry in the freezing cold, but this tan has made me want to tan all winter. It dries so quickly but it is easy to work with and leaves you with a beautiful golden glow. By the time i have finished tanning I'm actually able to jump into my pi's without having to worry about it going streaky thats how quickly it dries. Perfect for winter.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Foundations:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As i said earlier after discovering the Face of Australia tan i have found myself tanning more in winter which is perfect because it means i get to use my baby aka Loreal True Match more often. I love love love this foundation, it leaves me looking so flawless and amazing and i find it even makes my pores disappear! I have it in the shade N2 Vanilla which is a little dark for me in winter but perfect for me when in summer or when i tan. Loreal True Match used with Australis Fresh and Flawless in Darkest Brown is the perfect tan combo. Fresh and Flawless is one of my holy grail powders and it probably will continue to be no matter what. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Eyes:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in winter for my eyes I'm all about that waterproof as i generally get caught in rain and i don't enjoy looking like a panda, but then again what girl does? The Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow is waterproof which is perfect for winter as i always know that even if my face does get wet at least my eyebrows will still look flawless (priorities). I've also found myself using the Nyx Wonder Pencil in Light for my water line to help me look awake and fresh which is perfect for winter as my eyes generally look dull, this combined with Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded is literally all I've been wearing this past month on my eyes. Its literally the perfect combo for winter and it stays all day which is even better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So those are my beauty and skincare essentials for winter. I hope you enjoyed this post and feel free to leave your thoughts in a comment below.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the title suggests todays post will be about ChiChi's Super BB Cream. A little about ChiChi, its an Australian based company that was established in 1997. They sell everything from foundations and concealers to perfumes and body lotions, as far as i know its only available in Australia and New Zealand but lets hope it will soon be available globally, it is also a cruelty free brand (yay). Now to the BB cream, if you are a returning reader you will know I'm a bit dubious about BB creams as my first experience was far from fabulous, it was a bad, patchy, oxidised experience. In all honesty i don't actually understand BB creams, my impression is their just a better version of a tinted moisturiser. In comes ChiChi's Super BB Cream, i actually purchased this as one of my all time favourite blogger <a href="http://confessionsofamake-upaddict.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">beautybybek</a> has always raved about this and seeing as i had a gift voucher for Myers i thought i had nothing to loose so i purchased it. Needless to say it was one of the best decisions I've made and its changed my whole perspective on BB creams. Read on for my thoughts and a review on the Super BB Cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgObnbVb7WaR6d_WRyjUb7V12iaEH5fRwhBQCOnEPB4QfE5vL1If8NcYO2H7EuhHeKJYjhzkmlYce-X6i0FeJglim8FmLQZvhlqhxlyXvSqa3ZXs_0mlNQfyKHQ9f-lgn1FQFA_PuJnacA/s1600/IMG_5770.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgObnbVb7WaR6d_WRyjUb7V12iaEH5fRwhBQCOnEPB4QfE5vL1If8NcYO2H7EuhHeKJYjhzkmlYce-X6i0FeJglim8FmLQZvhlqhxlyXvSqa3ZXs_0mlNQfyKHQ9f-lgn1FQFA_PuJnacA/s1600/IMG_5770.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purchased this in Light because lets be honest I'm so pale even when i tan my skin just doesn't hold tan no matter what. So this Super BB Cream is said to be super moisturising, multi benefit, anti ageing and is said to contain more than 14 essential skin conditions agents. It contains anti-wrinkle collagen and Caviar extract. So all in all thats a lot of things for a BB to contain and claim to do probably why it is called Super BB Cream. When i first put it was on i was expecting it to oxidise and go patchy like every other BB Cream i have tried, but surprisingly i looked in the mirror at the end of the day and it was still as perfect as when i first did it expect i was a bit oily which i expected given i have combination skin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find it super moisturising to the point where if i plan to use it i don't actually moisturise in the morning as i feel like i don't need to, this has also eliminated a little bit of the oil i have on my t-zone at the end of the day. This leaves me feeling radiant and has quite a dewy finish which i like as if i don't feel like a dewy finish i can just put a bit of Stay Matte by Rimmel on and it turns matte. Overall I actually thoroughly enjoy this BB Cream and find it super moisturising and perfect for winter as my skin has a tendency to feel dry and tight in winter. I definitely recommend picking one of these up if you're in Australia or New Zealand, they are available online, and in Target or Myers for approximately $22.95AUD.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today ill be giving all my thoughts on the concealers i own. As i have stated many times before i have horrendous dark circles and they are the bane of my existence. So I'm like many other girls that are probably trying to find the one concealer thats going to solve all our problems. Some girls may have found it, some maybe still searching for it. Read on to see if I've found 'The One' concealer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer:</i> I had high hopes for this, so many high hopes that were sadly cut down. This concealer is said to wake you up and make you look awake i guess but it does nothing for me. It doesn't even cover my bags or dark circles or anything. I can't say much about this because i just don't think it does what it says its supposed to do. So i now use it as a a cream highlighter when i can be bothered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Maybelline Fit Me Concealer:</i> This is in the shade 'Light 10' which is a still bit too dark for my under eyes although it does blend into my skin well and 'fits me'. This is supposedly a dupe for the Nars Creamy Concealer which i can't comment on because i don't actually own it. Overall i thoroughly enjoy this concealer and it hides my dark circles well and it doesn't crease. Although its not the 'one'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Benefit Boi-ing Concealer: </i>This was my first high end concealer i ever owned and i loved it for about a year when i was naive about concealers and didn't wanna try any other ones. I was loyal to it but not so much anymore. Its supposedly industrial strength but it creased something shocking on me and didn't cover my dark circles well. I found using a eye primer underneath helped prevent it creasing but still. I now use it as an under eyebrow highlight and to clean up my brows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">MAC Pro-Long Wear Concealer:</i> Well this is a cult favourite and I've had a bit of an odd run with this. Firstly i smashed it within a week of having it, and thats when i realised how good it was and i needed it back in my life. I was matched with NW20 which i don't think suits me well although it covers up my dark circles it doesn't highlight at all. I do love this concealer a lot and it is one of 'the ones' for me but next time i repurchase I'm definitely going to get NW15 as i believe that it will be a little better of a match for my skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer: </i> Ahhhhh i love this concealer oh so much. It highlights my under eyes as well as conceals my dark circles. This is purely amazing and rivals high end concealers out there. This doesn't crease and its oh so easy to use. I can't really say much more but its amazing and if you want a good drugstore concealer this baby is for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you go, i have the two of 'The One' concealer that will solve all my concealer wishes. If you're in the same boat as me with dark circles for days then i definitely recommend looking at Mac Pro Long Wear if you're in the market for a high end concealer or Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer if you're in the market for a drug store concealer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed this post, if you did let me know in the comments!</div>

Hey beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is just a quick little post about the lovely Shanghai Suzy Lipsticks that i was so kindly sent to consider and try out. Shanghai Suzy is a Melbourne based company and was only launched in August last year, owned by a former model who i must say is extremely beautiful, these lipsticks are $12.95AUD and all i can say is wow. I was sent 9 lipsticks in total which is the entire collection, all ranging in colour from dark plum to neon coral and baby pink. I haven't used these much so i can't give a review but below are swatches of the colours i received and their names.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well today is an unusual post for me as i usually don't enjoy being a negative nancy on my blog, but i feel that this post will enable readers to tell me their thoughts on the products and if they have encountered the same problems as i have which has lead me to dislike these products. The products featured in this post i have spent countless times trying to make work as I'm not one to just give up on a product. So these products are well and truly tried and tested and i have found to have not worked for me. Read on to find out what products I regret buying.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Maybelline Baby Skin Primer:</i> This is a silicone based primer and seeing as i have oily skin this just makes me look like a hot mess. I have reviewed it before <a href="http://beautywithclairehull.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/everything-about-primers.html" target="_blank">here</a> so i won't go on too much about it. Its supposed to erase your pores but in all honesty it does nothing to my pores. I find it doesnt even prolong the wear of my makeup either. This product may be good for people with normal/dry skin as silicone based primers generally work for them better but its just a hot mess for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Nude by Nature Mineral Primer: </i>I actually haven't used this primer in forever and i used it the other day and i realised why i hadn't used it in forever. The smell is horrendous and it literally lingers all day whilst on my face. It has a chemical smell to it and its so overbearing and unbearable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Maybelline Fit me Stick Foundation: </i>Ive actually gave a review on this product and the product below <a href="http://beautywithclairehull.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/maybelline-bb-cream-and-fit-me-stick.html" target="_blank">here</a> and not much has changed. This product still dries out my face and separates on my skin. I understand its supposed to be anti-shine but there is anti-shine and then there is drying out my face. Ive tried the Baby Skin primer with this to see if it would counteract the dryness but nothing worked. It just made my skin look scaly and separated on my skin before the day was out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Maybelline Pure BB Cream: </i>This product isn't pictured cause I've actually given it to my mum because she loves BB creams. This product once again separated on my skin and made me look so scaly it was a joke. I have tried every single primer i owned with this product and nothing seemed to work. I was so disappointed in this product.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-style: italic;">Smashbox Photo Finish Lip primer: </b>I got this in a try it kit that Smashbox released and all i can say is I'm glad i tried it before i brought the full sized product. I mean it helps my eyeshadow last all day which is the purpose of the product but the consistency of the product is weird. Its rather thick and gluggy (is that a word?) and its actually quite drying. Im not sure if i got a dodgy one or what but its just not the right consistency.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara: </i>I also got this in the try it kit and i had high expectations. I love mascaras and i can't live without them. This mascara has a straight thick brush with no curves or bends in it. The brush in fact kind of reminds me of Benefits Badgal Mascara wand. This mascara doesn't make my eyelashes any longer or gives them any volume at all and in fact by the middle of the day it goes all flakey and rubs off quite easily which is a big no no for me with mascara.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Nivea Q10 Eye Cream: </i>I brought this because my mother uses this and she doesn't have dark circles which i assumed was because she used this product. After using this product i realised my mum just doesn't have dark circles at all because she's one of those lucky people that have amazing under eyes, I'm unfortunately not that lucky. I had high hopes for this product and it just crushed them. It doesn't hydrate my under eyes or reduce my under bags at all i actually felt like using this was silly because it didn't do anything. Thankfully i was sent some amazing eye creams and serums so i will no longer be using this eye cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So those are the products i regret buying, if you have any similar experiences with the products mentioned above or have had wonderful experiences i would love the hear them! So feel free to leave a comment below.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today will be all about my Top 5 lipsticks that I'm wearing this winter. Winter is usually seen to be dark and dreary which don't get me a wrong it is, but people often wear more darker colours as well, unless you're like me who wears black all year around. Anyway I've actually found myself reaching for darker colours this winter but also bright pops of pink and orange because i am a woman who likes to change it up. Read on to find out my favourite winter lipsticks. </div>

<i><b>Maybelline Lipstick in '942 Plum Proper'</b>: </i>Okay so i don't actually know what type of Maybelline lipstick this is because I've had it for that long the writing has rubbed off. Anyway this is the perfect plum for people who don't wanna go too dark that it looks gothic. I actually brought this years ago in Melbourne when i wanted a plum lipstick and I've only just rediscovered it. Its such a beautiful colour and I'm going to search and see if its actually still available.</div>

<i><b>Sportsgirl Pout About it in 'Love Bite'</b>: </i>This is the perfect dark red for winter and any time of the year in fact. I kind of strayed away from this colour because i didn't think it suited me but i wore it once whilst working and the rest is history. This is my go to lip colour when I'm unsure what lipstick i want to wear. Plus its only 9.95AUD from Sportsgirl so you literally cannot go wrong.</div>

<i><b>Sportsgirl Pout About It in 'Violet Crumble'</b>: </i>I finally have this baby in my hands and I'm so happy. This colour literally sells out every time we have it in store so when it was restocked i jumped on it. Its such a beautiful purpley/pinky colour and i think it is a warm toned lipstick in a way. Plus the name is violet crumble which reminds me of chocolate mmm.</div>

<i><b>MAC Amplified Lipstick in 'Saint Germain': </b></i>When i walked into MAC i didn't intend on walking out with this baby but I'm honestly so glad i did. Its such a beautiful pink and perfect for a pop of colour. Pink is without doubt my favourite colour, i actually plan to have most things in my lifestyle pink haha so this is a perfect addition. It goes beautifully with almost any outfit and because its not matte it doesn't dry out my lips during the day.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Maybelline Color Whisper in 'Petal Rebal':</b></i> This soft pink lipstick is super perfect for those days when you're unsure about what lipstick you want to wear. The name Color Whisper means that its not supposed to be as full on as a normal lipstick but instead a hint of colour. When i first got it the colour was kind of funny and i found i had to keep swatching it until the colour appeared properly, but as i have used it the colour gets more beautiful. Definitley a perfect addition to the lipstick collection.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a little different than last months post which was a May monthly haul, which i have decided won't be happening every month because i may not necessarily buy many things in a month. June has been a massive month for me and not a very good one either so I'm honestly glad to see June go. That being said i was also on a spending ban this month so I've been reaching for products that i picked out when i shopped my collection at the beginning of the month which you can read about <a href="http://beautywithclairehull.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/june-spending-ban.html" target="_blank">here</a>. That being said shopping my collection at the beginning of the month didn't work very well because i like to change up what i use daily. Read on to find out what i was loving this month.</div>

<i>Models Prefer Perfecting Canvas Mattifying Primer: </i>So I've actually spoken about this primer a lot on my blog, and it was actually involved in my product empties post which i actually underestimated how much product was left. I have found myself reaching for this primer every day without a doubt. I still am prone to getting oily during the day, only in the t-zone but i use it all over my face as well as it just makes my face feel super soft. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>MAC Studio Fix+:</i> I honestly only brought this product because i had a gift voucher and i wanted to try something i wouldn't normally buy. That being said i am loving this spray, although at the start i was a little confused at to what the purpose of it was. I find that it helps stop my makeup looking cakey and it also prolongs the wear of my makeup i find and keeps me looking fresh all day.</div>

Its super moisturising which is perfect for winter and it leaves you looking flawless.</div>

<i>Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow: </i>Ive had this baby for awhile and i have found myself lately to have been overlooking it quite a lot but I've fallen back in love with it again. I honestly just wish it had better staying power, because i find after a few hours its rubbed off or gone oily (in summer). Regardless this foundation is perfect for winter and it makes me feel like I'm not wearing anything at all.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Maybelline Instant age Rewind Concealer: </i>This is a cult drugstore favourite and seeing as its winter and I'm at my palest because I'm too lazy to tan because its cold this is actually the only concealer i have that matches me properly whilst highlighting as well. It doesn't crease on me and it lasts all day. I will always love this concealer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade: </i>I won't rave on about this product too much, as I've already done a review <a href="http://beautywithclairehull.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/anastasia-beverly-dipbrow-pomade-review.html" target="_blank">here</a> but this product will always be in my daily routine along side my benefit brow products. This is the perfect pomade to help conceal the gap in my brows as well as helping me achieve killer eyebrows.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sukin Rosehip Oil: </i>This is another product i won't talk too much about as i have already posted my thoughts about it <a href="http://beautywithclairehull.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/skincare-routine.html" target="_blank">here</a> but this is honestly my saviour from dry winter skin. It makes my skin super hydrated and look amazing when i wake up i feel like I'm sparkling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Chapstick Night Repair: </i>This little guy deserves a medal, he's saved my lips from being super dry this winter. I was actually talking to my manager about this today and how i told her she needs it for night because its amazing. I layer this on before going to sleep and i wake up with baby soft lips. Its a winter must.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So thats all my June favourites and what I've been using the most.</div>

Hey Beauties,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first ever subscription box blog post and I'm excited to share with you all what i got in the June Bellabox. If you aren't familiar with subscription boxes you essentially pay a certain amount each month for Bellabox its 15AUD each month and you get a variety of sample sized beauty products to try. There are so many different type of subscription boxes available and Bellabox actually offer other boxes that aren't beauty based. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway this months theme of the box was iconic beauty and was based around beauty icons such as Marilyn Munroe, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and other icons. There were many different brands involved in this months box, a few being ones i really wanted to try out and was hoping id get, we also got a free june issue of Instyle Magazine. Read on to find out what i got in my box.</div>

<i><b>Garnier BB Cream: </b></i>I actually kind of knew i was getting this from all the photos people had posted when they received their boxes. My mum actually raves about this BB cream and swears by it so I'm actually quite excited to try it given that my first experience with BB cream which was the Maybelline Pure BB cream was not a good experience. Although now i have the ChiChi Super BB cream which i love, I'm excited to try out this and see how it goes on my skin.</div>

<i><b>Indio Clear Moisturiser: </b></i>Ive never actually heard of this brand before received this which is one of the upsides of receiving a subscription box, you get to try brands and products you have never heard of or wouldn't normally buy. This moisturiser is said to be for oily and blemished skin which is fabulous for me and its also hydration balancer which is great for winter.</div>

<i><b>Herbal Essence Naked Shampoo and Conditioner: </b></i>Herbal Essence naked is the new to the shampoo range and is said to wipe away the dirt and grime from your hair and reveal its natural beauty, hence why its probably called naked. I actually love Herbal Essence shampoos and conditioners because not only do they smell soooo good they actually make my hair super soft and shiny, more than my Organix shampoo and conditioners. So I'm excited to try these out</div>

<i><b>Vaseline Healthy Radiance Body Moisturiser: </b></i>This is said to be the first anti-aging moisturiser for your body. It smells divine and i am all for super soft skin.

<i><b>Loreal Base Magique: </b></i>This was one of the products i was hoping i would get! I love loreal products and have been eyeing off this primer for so long but i didn't want to spend 30 dollars on a primer and it not work hence why i haven't purchased it yet. So I'm super glad i get to try this and see how it goes plus look how super cute the packaging is, its like a lip balm except for your face.</div>

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Nutrimetics Instant Radiance Beauty Balm: </i>I haven't heard one bad thing about nutrimetics ever, i used to own a few of their blushes and bronzers and although the bronzer was not nice, the blush was to die for so I'm glad i get to try a bit of their skincare products. This beauty balm is said to leave your face radiant and and give it an instant boost. Im a little confused as it says to put it on before your makeup so i think its a primer in a way, but ill have a play with it and see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
