ELES Cosmetics - Winter Makeup Trends

Hey there! Today I have a post on some of the latest ELES Cosmetics from their Winter Make up trend which includes a lipgloss and a gorgeous coppery eyeliner, perfect for the colder months. I'll also be showing their dual action concealer and the small concealer brush too! All ELES Cosmetics can be found online here. Let's take a look! 

ELES Dual Action Concealer (shown in the shade light peach, RRP $37.50) and the Small Concealer Brush (RRP $15.00) go hand in hand with one of the best concealers i've ever used. It has amazing coverage, only needed literally a tiny drop to cover both under eye areas as well as any blemishes on your face, is thick, sets quickly and will not budge once it has. Did you know that the dual action concealer can last you up to a year? It is really great value! I'm still perfecting using a brush to apply my concealer but this brush makes it easy to cover the under eye area and get into the inner eye corner where it can be quite blue/green from veins. The bristles on the brush are extremely soft and it picks up the right amount of product. I've been loving this duo team ever since I tried it!

You can choose what coverage you'd like with this concealer, thick, or light.

Blends effortlessly without creasing

Next up is this gorgeous Super Gloss in the shade Pomegranate (RRP $33.75), a gorgeous bright pink that gives a hint of colour. It is enriched with vitain A & E to soothe dry lips. This gloss is not sticky but adds a natural colour to your lips as well as hydrating them. It is stunning, and smells like lollies!

Finally, the Powder Liner Pencil in the shade Copper (RRP $43.25), a beautiful pencil of metallic copper (I am absolutely obsessed with copper anything these days), it is a very creamy, smooth and rich colour that applies easily and does not require multiple strokes for colour payoff. The formula contains Titanium Dioxide, a natural mineral for protection and natural staying power and Candellila Wax which provides softness to the formula. I tested this out on my hand and it blends easily, smudges easily for that smokey eye look and retains its high colour all day. I can't wait to do an eye look with it this weekend!

ELES Cosmetics have once again proved why they are one of my favourite make up brands! I'm always so excited by their products and look forward to more in the future! Thanks for reading lovelies.

Casino Inspired Nail Art

Hey everyone! Today I have another quick post for you. I was doing nail art one night and didn't really know what I was going for when I did these but once I had finished it really reminded me of something from the casino or playing cards! I used striping tape on clear nails and painted the triangles with OPI - Black Onyx and ELES - Casanova Red. I finished it off with 1 coat of G&G. Do you like this manicure?

Zig Zag Glitter Nails!

Hi everyone! Today I am showing you the nails I wore last week that I absolutely LOVED! It was probably one of my favourite manicures i've done before and although it was time consuming, it was definitely worth it in the end! All colours used were; Mod About You, In My Back Pocket and My Favorite Ornament by OPI and Sunset On The Pier, Pebble Beach, Not A Cloud and Peppermint Cream by ELES Cosmetics and chevrons were free handed. I finished it all off with 1 coat of G&G top coat.

I hope you like this look! It was so fun and girly! Thanks for reading.

Current Favourites!

Hi guys! Today I have a post all about my current favourites, from nail polish to skincare, to hair care and make up! It's a mixture of things I've been using for over a month now and absolutely love them all! So here they are!

De Lorenzo Essential Treatments (et) - Absolute Deep Cleanser Shampoo, Protein Complex Treatment and Equilibrium Deep Repair Treatment (RRP $25.95, $28.95 and $28.95 respectively). I've been using these three products in conjunction with one another and it has definitely restored my hair to a healthy, shiny, bouncy mane! They contain organic rosehip oil (which I love!) and are all paraben free. The deep cleanser makes my hair feel so clean and fresh, the protein complex has definitely made my hair feel stronger and the deep repair treatment has made my hair feel softer than ever! Find these products at your nearist stockist or salon (which can be found here).

Vaseline Intensive Care Spray Moisturiser in Aloe Soothe (RRP$9.99 from Priceline) - I had to try this product. The one thing in life I cannot stand is when I apply moisturiser on my body and apply my clothes and it all just sticks and I feel so uncomfortable! Luckily this product does just as that advert shows - You can spray this on your body, rub it in, and literally 10 seconds later you have no residue left over and no grease either! I'm in love.

Dr.Hauschka Neem Nail Oil (RRP$47) - A big pump bottle of nail oil with Neem leaf extract to help strengthen keratin and fortifies nails against breakage. I've been using this religiously, before a manicure, right after a manicure, between swatches and on days I want more! It is such a great product and I can't stop using it! It has a lovely smell of chamomile and I have noticed my nails getting stronger for months since using this! Available for purchase online here.

I've raved about Benefit's Fake Up concealer before and it's back in my current favourite because I continue to use it every day and always have flawless results with it! Along with Fake Up, I've been adoring Erase Paste by Benefit too to tackle my under eye circles and any dark areas that need to be brightened up! Both super hydrating, natural looking and do not crease on me! (RRP$35 and $47, respectively). Benefit Cosmetics can be found in Myer.

My trusty and most favourite mascara in the whole world that gives me natural-but-better-and-free-from-clumps lashes! I cannot get enough of this Lush Mascara and ELES is quickly becoming one of my all time favourite beauty brands! (RRP $35.75). It is available to purchase online here. I also previously reviewed it on my blog here.

This nifty little MixStix by Chapstick is a really clever 2-in-1 product giving you two flavours to choose from, or to mix them up and make a smoothie! I love the flavour shown in particular, 1 side banana and 1 side strawberry. They taste so good together that I sometimes find myself licking my lips and having to reapply way too frequently! It moisturises for upto 8 hours! These retail for RRP $6.99 for a duo set (It came with another one with the flavour lemon berry sorbet) and can be found at Priceline and selected pharmacies nationally. 

Formula 10.0.6 Rescue Me! Acne Blemish Treatment (RRP $7.99, available at Priceline). This product has been my saviour for so long now (including my trip to Europe) and I am so glad it has come into my life. It stops any pimple from becoming a big nasty puss filled spot (ew) and has actually helped reduce the appearance of my old blemishes! I can't live without this product and will continue to use it for as long as I keep getting pimples!

So there are my current favourites! I hope you liked this post and comment below which product you've tried or like to try next! Thanks for reading.

ELES Cosmetics - Micro Mocha Lipstick

Hey everyone! Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a great 2013 and you are ready to take on the new year! Today I am showing you a lipstick by ELES Cosmetics called Micro Mocha* from their core lipstick range (RRP $39.50). I am seriously loving ELES cosmetics - their mascara is my favourite one EVER and their lipsticks are SO smooth and creamy and highly pigmented. The micro mocha colour is the perfect red toned brown that complements olive/tan skin tones very well (like myself!). I recommend you try their lipsticks out and see what I'm talking about - they are brilliant! I can't recommend it enough to people! The picture shows 1 coat of the lipstick. It has really great coverage and opacity. Head over to the ELES website at www.elescosmetics.com.au to see all of their wonderful products!

ELES Cosmetics - Eyes, Brows & Lips Review

 Enter my international giveaway to win 1 of 4 nail polish bundle packs!

Hey guys!! Today I have 3 products from ELES cosmetics to show you! I don't wear much make up as it is but when I do I loveeee wearing mascara, filling in my brows and of course the lips! I could go without wearing no other make up on my face but I love making my lips bright and pretty! Today I am showing you the ELES - Brow Blender Pencil (RRP $44), ELES - Lush Mascara (RRP $35.75) and ELES - Micro Bubble Lipstick in the shade Melon (RRP $39.50). 

ELES - Brow Blender Pencil is a dual-ended pencil that gives a soft-powder finish. The pencil creates soft, natural looking colour and doesn't allow harsh lines to be drawn on, even those with an unsteady hand! The cap has a built-in brush for blending and shaping brows. I particularly love the brush for brushing my eyebrows upwards and really filling in the gaps that I see need filling. I also really love how soft the colour pay-off is, it has left my brows looking natural and not too "drawn" on. This is a must-have product for anyone that is pretty happy with their natural shape and state of their brows but need a little something to fill in a few sparse spots and an overall cleaned up look!

ELES - Lush Mascara is the bomb! Hahah no but seriously, the hollow-fibre brush lifts and separates and the formula is protein rich which helps builds strength and flexibility for your eyelashes. The formula also includes nine botanicals, plus Vitamin A, E & C to condition and nourish your lashes. Not to mention, this is by far, the only mascara that claims to be "clump-free" and actually lives up to the name!! No matter how many layers you apply there is absolutely NO clumps and this is a really amazing product. This makes my eyelashes look so natural but gives them enough length and volume to make my eyes look more awake and prettier. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! Cannot rave it enough!

ELES - Micro Bubble Lipstick in Melon is a rich, creamy lipstick which provides a protective treatment in one. The website states that all ELES - Micro-Bubble Lipsticks are the perfect choice after dermatological procedures, such as lip collagen injections. “Micro-bubbles” continually release conditioners to keep lips soft and colour fresh for hours. I haven't had any procedures and don't think I will for now but this product is seriously creamy and moisturising. Melon is a gorgeous bright melon/coral creme lipstick with very high pigmentation. It doesn't dry the lips out and keeps them feeling smooth and hydrated even after 3 hours of wear! I really like this colour on my lips and love how moisturising it is. Win!! P.s - Love the packaging on these lipsticks, a simple gunmetal sleek case, so cool!

Have you bought any ELES cosmetics before? Please let me know what other products you personally recommend or want to try from their website and I will be sure to check them out! Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hello everyone! Today I have a few colours from the ELES - Sweet Sundae Collection* to show you today!
