Beauty Blogger TAG: Get to know me :)

Hey everyone!

So I know I have already posted 2 posts today but I could't help but do another! (Ridiculous I know...) I thought that since I have been on blogspot for about a month I might let you all get to know me a bit more! I hope you enjoys this and I tag everyone to do this!

1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?

Straight! Not dead straight, but pretty straight, with wavy bits in it :)

2. What is your natural hair colour?

At the moment my hair is dyed and it has been for a while but my natural colour is middle to dark brown.

3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?

I have had my hair dyed at a salon twice and both times it cost me about $150...which is a lot, and I just got half a head of foils. I love the experience of going to a salon but recently I have just been doing it myself. 

An old pic of what my hair used to be like!

4. How often do you wash your hair?

I have had my nails done at a salon a couple of times but I have decided to stick to doing it myself. It's cheap and a lot of fun!

Usually face, but sometimes when I do dramatic eyes I will do them first.

Beauty On a Budget: Purple Eye Makeup

Hey everyone :) 

Today I went home from school early so decided to do a makeup look for you all! This is my first time doing a makeup tutorial so I really hope it is ok. If you have any ways in which you think I could improve this post (or advice for my next one!) please leave a comment and tell me!

Also, this makeup tutorial is using all drugstore products so is very affordable!

Step 1:

Apply a light pink or purple all over the lid.

Step 2:

Take a dark purple and put it in the outer part of your eye, blending up to the crease.

Step 3:

Apply a light, shimmery colour to the inner-corner of your eye.

Step 4:

Apply a thin coat of liquid eyeliner to your top lashes. 

Step 5:

Line your water line and tight line with a black liner.

Step 6:

Apply 3-4 coats of your favourite mascara.

Products I used:

-Designer brands eyeshadow quad: $4.95

-Maybelline black eyeliner: $8.50

-Essence multi action mascara: $3.95

(I also used the Rimmel glam eyes for the liquid liner but didn't take a photo of it!)

Lips

I wanted to use an almost neutral colour for the lips as the eye makeup is very bright. I used this Savvy by designer brands lipstick in the colour 'pretty in pink' which was $4.95

I hope you all enjoyed this colourful eye makeup look! Please leave a comment and tell me what you think. I will be doing more makeup looks soon, I hope this one was ok for my first go :)

Another Nail Polish Haul! Revlon, TT, Sally Hansen

Hello lovelies! So yesterday I went a little crazy and bought another 13 nail polishes..... yes 13...but one is for my mum! Anyway I thought I would share with you the colours I bought :)

Revlon

The first brand of polishes I bought was Revlon. I do quite like the Revlon Polishes and they have some very interesting colours.

Princess

The first colour I got is this gorgeous blue colour with lots of silver shimmer through it. I hadn't seen a colour like this before and I do quite like it!

Black With Envy

This colour is a very dark grey with tiny silver shimmers through it.

790: No Shrinking Violet

This colour is a lot like Black With Envy but in purple. It again has tiny silver shimmers through it.

Pineapple Fizz

This colour is very strange... I honestly don't know if I will ever wear it. It is a yellow glittery polish. It is a strange type of glitter though... I can't describe it. The reason I bought it though is because....IT IS SCENTED! When you smell it in the bottle it just smells like nail polish, but once it dries it smells exactly like pineapple! It smells so so so good!!

165: Lilac Pastelle

This colour I actually bought last year but lost it! It is a gorgeous light pinky lilac colour. It is very sheer so you need to apply at least 2, 3 or even 4 coats.

Alluring Amber

This is a lovely solid almost pastel orange colour. I am very excited to wear this in the summer time! 

902: Craving Coral

At first I was hesitant to buy 2 oranges that were quite similar, but I couldn't help it, I love them both. This colour is just a 'hot' orange colour.

Top Coat

The last Revlon polish I bought was just a top coat. I really needed a new top coat and I love this one because it gives a lot of shine. I also bought another one for my mum :P

TT: Tips & Toes

This brand of polish I had never seen before but it was at this little one day stall in Bondi Junction, so I decided to give them a go. I am really happy with them. The quality seems to be good and the colour pay off and pigmentation is very good.

Number 57

This colour has very good pigmentation, it is a great yellow and I am very excited to wear it in summer.

61

The next TT polish I got is just this silver polish. I really wanted a silver polish... I don't know why I just did, and now I have one!

 43

This colour is gorgeous! It is a solid lilac colour, very pretty and great for the spring!

One Random Sally Hansen Polish!

180: Disco Ball

This colour is a clear polish with glitter in it. The colour of the glitter is reflective, so when it is in the light the colour changes. I bought this so I could do my galaxy nails!

That is all the polishes I bought! I know quite a few, but I do really love nail polish at the moment :) Hope you all enjoyed! Please comment and tell me what you favourite colour is!

Review: Lux Body Wash

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to do a very quick review on the Lux body washes. 

I bought the pomegranate and palm milk wash at the beginning of the year and immediately fell in love with it! I bought another one the other day and this one is even better! The one I bought this time was the shea butter and caramel. The 2 I own are both exfoliating washes but in the Lux range there is also smooth washes.

Where I bought it: Coles supermarket

Price: around $5 which is amazing!

What it does: Exfoliate my body very well! It also makes me smell yummy :P

Will I repurchase: Uuuummm...... YES!! Now I want to try all the flavours!

My favourite so far: I think I like the shea butter and caramel over the pomegranate and palm milk but they are both so amazing!

I know this was quite a random post, I hope that is ok! I was just in my shower this morning using these products and thought that as it is one of my favourite body washes (that I have ever tried!) that I would like to share it with you guys :) I would recommend this product to everyone!
