Makeup Haul and a Very Happy Sally!

Oh hello! It's Sally here!

On Friday, I had a practise 3 hours English exam which was absolute torture. On that day however, there was a Boost Challenge where you had to wrap yourself in foil so 2 of my friends and I went to the local supermarket, bought some foil which was $1.50 and wrapped ourselves in foil and showed up at Boost! It was very rewarding but a bit embarrassing getting a Boost for 50c! Afterwards, I thought I might treat myself a little since I did just write three essays (9 pages worth of writing!) so I went to Price-line pharmacy to have a look at their make up.

 This is what I bought:

Rimmel

So we all know how much I loved the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and Kate Moss Lipstick in 106. Since those two purchases, I decided that I really liked Rimmel and went ahead to buy the Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Glow and another Kate Moss Lipstick in 12. 12 is an orangey sort of colour. I was going to buy one from Mac but I thought if the orange didn't suite me I would have wasted a whole lot of money. Then... I noticed that if you bought $15 worth of Rimmel you got a free gift which consisted of a waterproof Scandal Eyes mascara, a lip gloss and a blue eye liner. Yay! I always wanted a blue eye liner but didn't know whether or not I could pull it off but now I got one for free I can say there is no harm in trying it and I can safely say, I love Rimmel!

Bourjois

Then I headed over to the Bourjois section. Actually I didn't even know Australia sold Bourjois so I was pleasantly surprised! I decided I needed a foundation since, shock horror *insert inside joke* I don't have any. I heard lots of people raving on about the Bourjois foundations so I decided to get myself one since it was quite a good price as well and I didn't want too much coverage. Then I saw they had the Color Boost Sticks which are basically a copy of the Clinique Chubby Sticks but half price so I got myself one in a nice red! I tried it on and wow I love that stuff! It's so moisturising and has good pigmentation at the same time! Very happy that I found that! While I was at that counter, I noticed Bourjois had a sign too, if you bought more that $20 worth you got a free gift! What a lucky day! The gift consisted of a lovely blush which is so pigmented as well and a primer. The primer does make your skin feel very smooth and soft but I'm not sure how much I will use it as I'm not too keen on layering more and more products on my face. Perhaps I will use it for only very special occasions.

 Other random stuff

I heard a lot about Beauty Blenders but I wasn't too sure where to buy them apart from online but I noticed Maybelline was selling a copy of one in purple so I bought it and I can say it's a very good buy! Although I can't compare it to the original, it does its job well so far. Then I bought an SPF for my face since the Australian Sun should be coming out soon and I don't want to get burnt. Lastly Essie recently got introduced into Australia so I bought two nail polishes from their range which was rather small as Australia is only selling their top colours.

I'll film a review later of all the things I bought on Friday and post it up after I've used them for sometime and have enough information for you. For now I can say that I'm very happy with all the freebies I got! Hope you're all well and I'll talk to you next time.

Kate Moss Lipstick and Apple releases

Oh hi, Sally here!
I've got one more week of school until the holidays! How exciting? Hopefully I'll have lots of things to blog about then! Yesterday, I was out and about and got a new lipstick! It's a Kate Moss Rimmel lipstick in shade 106 which is such a lovely colour. It has a matte consistency which is what I love about it as well and it was the amazing price of $10AUD. That's a steal compared to Mac lipsticks here which are $33AUD. I know you can't compare high end to drug store but really I can't tell much difference in the lipstick.

Packaging:
For her matte series, the casing is red with Kate Moss' signature in black. It's got the Rimmel crown logo on the top. I believe the lipstick I got is from her new Winter collection.

Consistency:
The consistency is amazing! The product is super pigmented and is not shimmery or glossy at all which is what I like.

Application:
The application is smooth. Usually with lipstick, I put on a small amount and just spread it around my lips so the colour isn't too intense. 





Also, this week, I finished reading Divergent by Veronica Roth! Wow that book was so exciting and intense and as soon as I finished reading it, I quickly bought Insurgent, the next book in the series and I'm already 50% through. I highly
recommend you add it to your list of books to read! Especially since the movie Divergent is coming out next year and I don't know about you, but I prefer to read the book before watching the movie.

Last Monday night, I was bored and decided to go and download ios7 even though it's being released on 18th September. I love it so much! Finally a change from Apple, it feels like I've actually gotten a new phone. To the left is a screenshot of what my phone looks like now! The update comes with 40 new wallpapers, 33 of which are Stills and 7 which are Dynamic. Yes they move when you tilt your phone.  Hopefully, in time they will add more Dynamic wallpapers. I chose the pink Still wallpaper because it's my favourite colour and it matches the case of my iPhone 5. I love this simple flat look! Onto further news, I'm sure you all know that Apple have announced iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S and have discontinued iPhone 5. What are my thoughts on the products? If you have an iPhone 4 or lower, sure go ahead and update! If you have a 4S or 5, wait! Honestly, I'm not going to update my phone for a plastic coloured back which makes the phone look cheaper or for a fingerprint scanner. Also, I'm still not to keen on the idea of a fingerprint scanner. I feel as though after time it may fail and people will revert back to the pass code method. Only time will tell how well it works I suppose. The reason Apple has discontinued iPhone 5, because it's exactly the same as the iPhone 5S. I am interested in the new camera functions on the iPhone 5S and how it takes a few and chooses the best one because I am quite interested in photography but that's not enough to make me want to buy a new phone. Besides, all iPhones 4S and up are able to update to the ios7 so I just don't think it's worth it.

Anyway, hope you're well and I'll blog again soon!
Love Sally xx
