Red Earth Make Up - Rediscover The Brand + Their Best Sellers!

Hi guys! Today I have a really exciting post! Red Earth is an Australian make up brand that I loved when I was younger. Their beautiful selection of eye shadow pigments in their silver balls started my love for things beauty. Recently they have re-branded themselves with a whole new collection in line! Today I have a few of their best sellers to show you and I am so excited to share these with you!

Red Earth – Skin Perfection All-In-One Concealer Kit: RRP $24 in the colour 02 - Sand*. 

This sleek concealing kit gives a great description on how to conceal different areas of your face and which colours to mix for the perfect coverage. Gives an extensive description on how to cover dark circles, pimples, bruises and freckles. Each colour gave very high coverage and all were creamy. There is a mirror inside and it includes 3 applicator tools. The concealer spatula is to remove concealer from the palette, the flat concealer brush is for blending under the eyes, nose and chin and the tapered concealer brush is for precise spots such as blemishes and freckles.

Going Down: Reduce, Hide, Cover, Brighten, Creamy Concealer

Red Earth - Secret Potion Illuminating Skin Fluid: RRP $32 in the colour 01 - Pearl*. This secret potion skin fluid is a multi-purpose illuminator with pink light reflecting particles that gives the skin a very flattering finish. This little gem smells so good! If you have ever smelt Guerlain's Meteorite Perles it smells just like it! It's hard to explain but so lovely and a bit like candy. This leaves a very lovely sparkle and glow to the skin and leaves a moisturised and soften feel. It can be used as a highlighter, mixed in with foundation, over shoulders and decolletage and also on legs as a moisturiser with a hint of shimmer.

Red Earth – Illusion Lights Beauty Pro Eye-shadow: RRP $12 in the colour 20 - Stormy Night*. 
This eye shadow is a gorgeous deep navy blue with blue light reflecting minerals. It is very pigmented and has a slight gunmetal finish to it. I have yet to test the wear on this colour but will do a look with it soon.

Red Earth – Pure Colour Hydra Luxe Lipstick: RRP $18 in the colour 02 - Jubilee (Sheer)*. 
This lipstick is a lovely watermelon pink with very subtle orange micro glitters. It is super moisturising and smells like vanilla. Gives my natural lip colour a nice flush.

Red Earth – Lip Passion Premium Plumping Lip Gloss: RRP $16 in the colour 01 – Blush*.

This is a gorgeous light pink, blush lip gloss with sparkly micro glitter. It is not sticky and has no scent which was nice as I hate sticky lip glosses! 

And here are some photos of the lip gloss Blush over the lipstick Jubilee:

So what do you all think? Are you excited as I am!? I absolutely loved Red Earth years ago and now that I have a better appreciation for make up and beauty I love it even more! Their new re-branding is exciting, fresh and I can't wait to try more. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Thanks for reading and have a great day.

OPI - Alpine Snow MATTE + Models Own - Indian Ocean

Hi guys!! I hope you are all well and happy! Today I have a bit of a layering to show you! I was feeling a little uninspired so grabbed my OPI - Alpine Snow MATTE and applied 2 coats. It is a very old bottle so i'm sure the formula has changed, but it is quite difficult to apply! You must be quick otherwise there will be bald spots! Eww. Then I applied 1 coat of Models Own - Indian Ocean, a gorgeous irridescent sheer blue/pink colour that is a match made in heaven when layered over certain colours (check out my post here with it over a dark colour). I finished it all off with 1 coat of Wicked Fast.

Isn't this such a lovely and mesmerising combination? Makes me feel like i'm somewhere soft, cuddly and breezy! lol. Do you have a favourite colour combo? Let me know below! Thanks for reading!

Stargazer Lipstick - 106 Neon Red

Hello everyone! Today I have something a bit different from nail polish. Today I will be showing you the Stargazer Neon Red lipstick! I bought mine on ebay for about $8.50! Super cheap. It is quite creamy and very highly pigmented. No need for blotting and reapplying that's for sure. As the name suggests it is a neon red but it looks more like a neon orange on my lips. It does not dry to a matte finish, but is nice and creamy and shiny.

I really like this colour and think it looks great against my tan skin. Do you own any bright neon lipsticks? Have a good day and thanks for reading!

Artsy Wednesday - Indie Nails (FLOAM!)

Hello hello!! I'm very sorry for being slack with posts. . especially with my AW ones..but today I have one for you and the theme is Indie nails! My indie collection is extremely small. I only own 3. . and 2 of them I showed you a few days ago. . but my last one is a very special one that I received a while ago and only got around to using it now! The nail blogging world was taken a storm when floam hit the pages and for good reason. Floam is a clear base polish with matte blue/green and yellow glitters. For this look I started with 1 coat of Barielle - Ocean Breeze followed by 3 coats of Floam. Floam is a little thick to work with but not unbearable. It dries to a matte finish.

 This is a very unique and gorgeous glitter and I hope you like it too! Don't forget to check out other indie nails by these lovely ladies!

Pretty and Polished - Mardi Party

Hello again! Today I have another Pretty & Polished colour to show you. This one is called Mardi Party and is a plethora of rainbow glitter shards. It is quite hard to apply as it is very runny and makes the glitter fall off the brush very quickly. In this photo I layered it over 2 coats of Ciate - Big Yellow Taxi, a gorgeous yellow creme. I love this vibrant, eclectic mix. I finished it off with 1 coat of wicked fast.

 This glitter is so playful and fun I love it! What do you think? Have a great day!!

Pretty and Polished - Party On My Yacht

Hi loves! Today I am showing you one of my first Indie brand purchases by Pretty and Polished called Party On My Yacht. POMY is a white base filled with purple, yellow and green small glitters. It applies very easily and is a very simply jelly sandwich in a bottle. I absolutely love this combination and wish I jumped on the Indie band wagon earlier. I used 2 coats for these swatches followed by 1 coat of wicked fast.

This is gorgeous and I loved wearing this colour! I have another Pretty & Polished colour to show you very soon! Thanks for reading and have a good day!!

L'oreal Nude Magique BB Cream

Hi guys! Sorry for the lack of posts. . . working in retail over Christmas is mayhem. Not only on my tired feet, but also on my nails..eek! Today I went a little crazy at Myer and bought a couple of new make up and nail goodies. First up I will show you this amazing new BB cream by L'oreal. It is originally priced at $26.95 but Myer has 40% off of L'oreal at the moment so it came down to only $16.17. The bottle says it mimics the texture and glow of perfect bare skin with the added bonus of an SPF12. I'm in love with this little bottle of heaven. BB creams are definitely the new craze! I only used  a small pea sized amount and my hand looks flawless right now as I type this. It has a nice sunscreen scent which I like. The formula on it is a white base with tiny dark specks running through it. It is a little gritty when you rub it in, but that is when the magic happens and it transforms into your perfect skin colour, without any gritty, greasy feeling.

 

I only bought this a few hours ago and am loving it a lot! Do you have a favourite BB cream? I think this is my new favourite one now! Thanks for reading and have a great day.

OPI - Euro Centrale Collection

Hi guys! Sorry for my absence. . I am working LOTS and my cuticles are getting battered :-( So this is a fore warning that my cuticles are pretty bad at the moment so i'm sorry! Today I have 4 colours from the OPI - Euro Centrale collection for you to see. They are; My Vampire is buff, OY-Another Polish Joke, Suzi's Hungary AGAIN! and You're Such A Budapest. 

L-R Top Row: A Woman’s Prague-ative, Can’t Find My Czechbook, Hands Off My Kielbasa!, I Saw…U Saw…We Saw…Warsaw, OPI…Eurso Euro, Polka.com, Bottom Row: My Paprika is Hotter than Yours, My Vampire is Buff, Vant to Bite My Neck?, You’re Such a BudaPest, OY–Another Polish Joke!, Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN! 

My Vampire is Buff*; is an off-white creme with slight orange undertones. I used 2 coats in these photos and no top coat. If you own Lime Crime - Milky Ways, it is very similar! Lovely colour though and a breeze to apply.

OY-Another Polish Joke*; is a very pretty gold fleck polish. It is quite sheer and I needed to use 3 coats in the photos but didn't use a top coat. This colour reminds me of a thicker, more denser gold leaf top coat and is super gorgeous! Perfect colour for Xmas!

Suzi's Hungary AGAIN!*; is a perfect warm pinky coral. It is actually a bit sheer and I needed 2 coats for full opacity. I didn't use a top coat here. 

And lastly is You're Such A Budapest*; a periwinkle purple creme which was also the same consistency as Suzi's Hungary AGAIN! and needed 2 coats also. It is a gorgeous colour and is more purple toned than the photos show and it actually has very very subtle shimmer in it.. This reminds me of OPI - Rumple's Wiggin' but slightly a darker purple colour.

I'm really impressed with these colours. They are really pretty and I like them all a lot! What do you think of these picks? Thanks for reading and have a great day!

China Glaze - Running In Circles

Hello everyone! Today I have a real treat for you all! You may have already seen this colour on other blogs. . . but I can now confirm that it is drop. dead. gorgeous. This is definitely my favourite green colour I now own! Running In Circles is a forest green glass fleck with hints of yellow/gold flecks mixed in! It was super easy to apply and does best in 2 coats. I finished it off with 1 coat of Wicked Fast.

If there is one colour you need for the holidays and for the perfect Christmas colour, this would be it! I hope you like this colour as much as I do! Kudos to CG lol. Thanks for reading!

Artsy Wednesday - Glitter Gradient

Hi loves! Sorry it's been a while, retail work is getting hectic, but anyway it's another AW and today's theme is Glitter Gradient! Once again, I picked a base colour from the new CG Cirque Du Soleil collection called Running In Circles (see post tomorrow) which is such an AMAZING green glass fleck colour..I am in absolute awe and am so glad I bought it! I used 2 coats of Running In Circles and I just did a glitter gradient on my ring finger using Jordana - Sequins.

Make sure to check out these girls who have taken part of this weeks Artsy Wednesday! I hope you like this combo and be sure to check out the post on CG - Running In Circles tomorrow, it is pure bliss!
