ModelCo Autumn Racing Makeup

Hi guys! Today I have a few products by ModelCo to show you. These products would be perfect for those upcoming Autumn Racing events! I had never tried ModelCo nail polish or lipstick prior to these products and I'm seriously impressed. The quality is impeccable and the colours are right on trend! ModelCo can be purchased from Priceline, Woolworths, Target, selected pharmacies nationally and online at www.modelcocosmetics.com. 


First up i'll show you the Fibre Lash Brush On False Lashes (RRP $35.00) which is a instant false lash mascara kit to take your eyelashes from subtle to dramatic in minutes. The process takes a bit of time. First you need to apply the regular mascara all over your lashes (including lower lashes) and then apply the lash fibres onto your eyelashes afterwards, ensuring you look down to avoid getting any fibres in your eyes - which I must say, doesn't hurt, but is slightly uncomfortable, like having fluff in your eyes. Then wait about 30 seconds after applying the lash fibres, then apply 1 final coat of the regular mascara again. It seriously lenghtened my eyelashes so much and definitely made them look more volumised and dramatic. I loved the end result but one thing I did find was that my eyelashes were super sticky and would clump together into big sections. It did feel heavy on the eyes after a while, but this is perfect for a big night out or a special event!

Before - no product on lashes
1 coat of Mascara
1 coat of Lash Fibres applied over Mascara
Final coat of mascara over Lash Fibres and initial coat of Mascara
You can really see a dramatic difference from the first coat of mascara to the end result! Amazing!

Now i'll be showing you the nail polish in the shade Wine & Dine; a gorgeous mulled wine red creme and the lipstick; Party Proof Matte Lipstick in the shade that matches perfectly to the nails; Smitten (a slightly lighter dark red creme) (both retail for $14.95 and $16.95, respectively). The nail polish is of such good quality and applied effortlessly and the lipstick is so long lasting and very pigmented in colour. I applied 1 coat for both products.

For a Matte lipstick it is SUPER creamy!

What's your favourite product by ModelCo? I can't wait to try more of their products! Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Estee Lauder - Bronze Goddess Collection 2014

Hey everyone!! Today I have swatches of a new nail lacquer and lip product by Estee Lauder to show you. These two products are from their new collection called Bronze Goddess, available now from counters nationally.

First up is the limited edition Pure Color Sheer RollerGloss in the shade Squeeze (RRP $40). It is just like the old school lip glosses you would buy from the $2 store. This particular one smells so good - like watermelon and passionfruit and gives your lips a super glossy look. It does not dehydrate your lips after time and adds a very sheer colour. 


Next is the new limited edition pure colour Nail Lacquer in the Shade Hot Spell (RRP $38). I've only owned 1 other Estee Lauder nail lacquer before and know how amazing the bottle, brush, formula and colours are and this is no exception. This hot orange toned coral is perfect for the hot summer days. It applied so well and I used 2 coats for these photos.

Colour Theory - Nail Polish & Lipsticks

Nail polish and lipsticks. . . two of my favourite beauty items! Today I have some Colour Theory nail polishes and lipsticks to show you. Colour Theory is a very affordable cosmetic brand available from selected pharmacies and they have a four simple price points for their products, either being; $4, $6, $8 and $10. All nail polishes are $4 ...yes! And all lipsticks are $6! I can't believe how cheap it is and I actually really enjoyed using these products! All I can say about these products is that the nail polish brush is too short with a big stumpy lid which makes it kind of awkward to paint with and the lipsticks transfer way too easily. I kissed my boyfriend once and he had a full on pink lip going! Sorry Cam =).

Pineapple Express* - A yellow creme polish that leans slightly more to an orange toned yellow then pure yellow. I applied 2 coats.


Minted* - A light pastel mint seafoam blue. Applied in 2 coats.


Flamingo* - My favourite from the bunch, a lovely coral pink creme. So gorgeous and dries slightly lighter than in the bottle. 2 coats.


Summer Lovin' Pink* - A gorgeous berry pink creme. I applied 2 coats.


Then I did some random geometric nail art using all the colours together. I liked them all but wish I had done the Summer lovin' pink stripe thinner on the ring finger.


Fuschia Frenzy Lipstick* - This colour looks exactly the same as Summer lovin' pink but in a lipstick form and is a gorgeous bright pink creme that applies easily and leaves lips feeling creamy and soft.


Razzle Dazzle* - This lipstick is a slightly darker pink with a red tone to it. It is gorgeous. Same formula as the fuschia one.


Will you be picking up any Colour Theory products? Let me know what you get!! Have a great day.
