Just a few great online shopping websites :)

Whoops! I'm a day late with this post, sorry guys!

Just a quick post today, as I'm a bit short on time.

I live in a small country town, and I don't have much access to stores that stock various makeup brands. So I do a lot of shopping online. I do however put in a lot of research with the products I buy, and don't succumb to impulse purchases that often.
Here are the sites I use most regularly.

• www.crushcosmetics.com.au

This site is great for buying products such as Nyx, Milani and Wet N Wild; basically all US brands that aren't readily available in Australia. The prices are reasonable and the delivery is quick. I adore this site!

• www.strawberrynet.com 

This site offers discounted cosmetics, hair care and accessories, along with perfume. There are daily deals and further discounts each week, as well as a loyalty discount. They also offer bonus products with certain purchases. I shop the most on this site, and they often have high end products at ridiculously low prices. Check them out!

• www.bellabox.com.au

This site doesn't sell the actual products, but it lists them and gives the websites you need to visit in order to purchase it. They offer a variety of brands, both high end and drugstore, which have been featured in their monthly boxes. It's a great way to find and repurchase a product that you received a sample of and fallen in love with, which has happened to me plenty of times! haha.

Hope this helps,

Beauty products I REAAAALLLYY want to try :D

I always find myself going through magazines or surfing the internet and finding products that I instantly fall in love with, but I never seem to end up getting them or being able to afford them.
Here's a quick list of beauty products I'm really keen to purchase and take for a test run.

1. MAC Lipstick in Rebel.

This colour is phenomenal. I was instantly attracted to it, and I've heard great things about this lipstick in particular. I don't own any MAC lipsticks, so I might have to do a bit more research before I take the plunge.









2. Dior Addict lip gloss (no shade in particular).

I have to admit, it was the campaign with Daphne Groeneveld that suckered me into this one. The gloss looks stunning on her, and they seem so pigmented and smooth on the lips. These glosses are definitely on my wish list!

3. Benefit "They're Real!" mascara.
Scarlett Johansson swears by this mascara. 'Nuff said.

4. L'Oreal infallible 24 hour eye shadow in Amber Rush.
I adore anything that is rose gold coloured, so Amber Rush is the ultimate eyeshadow colour for me. I'm not sure if they stock it her in Australia, but I'm definitely going to have a look. I think that I'd wear this shadow to death if I got my hands on it. Here's a swatch that I found online:

5. Revlon Just Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous.
This shade is a beautiful orange colour that I think would be perfect for summer. Although it's not very expensive, and it's readily available to me, I don't think I'd wear it enough this time of year. I prefer darker, deeper colours (like Revlon's Red Velvet lip butter) rather than bright oranges etc. I'll probably purchase this towards the end of the year.

Feel free to comment and tell me which beauty products you'd love to try, or if you've tried any of the ones mentioned in this post :)

I'd also love to hear feedback from anyone reading this, as I'm about to start promoting this blog to the rest of the world!

Wish me luck!

Until next time,
