Easy Candy Cane Christmas Nail Art Tutorial

The finished Candy Cane Nails

 As it's early December I thought I'd get right into the holiday spirit and pimp out my nails, candy cane style.  It is pretty simple to achieve, although it's a little fiddly and takes time.

To achieve this look you will need: 

TBase Coat - Sally Hansen Miracle Cure

TRed Nail Polish - OPI  The Spy Who Loved Me (Skyfall collection)

TWhite Nail Polish - L.A. Colors Art Deco White

TTop Coat - Seche Vite

TSticky Tape

NYX Range In Target Australia And Where To Buy NYX Online

NYX Cosmetics in Australia at Target
(Sunshine Plaza Maroochydore, QLD)

+NYX Cosmetics  has made it down under!  Sadly they are not at my local +Target  until January :(  
But I was in Maroochydore the last weekend and spotted the range.  They are now also on the Target website here.   

You can also see my top 10 NYX picks here.

I thought I'd give you a break down of the range, colours and prices of the products available so that you can make an informed decision of how you spend your money on NYX. 

 EYES

Bellabox - November 2013 - What's in my box this month? ;)

Bellabox November Opening

Something a little different for Bellabox this month, all the items arrived in a makeup bag.  I haven't heard anything about this new packaging so I'm not sure if it's a once off or if I should start calling them Bellabag? The bag is a nice size and would be great for the handbag.   

If you would like to know more about Bellabox, my original post is here and if you would like to sign up, please visit here.

The November Bellabox theme is refreshing beauty and I think the products team with the theme. 

NYX Cherry Culture Haul & First Impressions

NYX Haul

A few weeks ago Cherry Culture had a 25% off NYX sale.  I posted my ten picks from the sale here.  These were two items on the list that I didn't already own.  

NYX Jumbo Pencil Set - Center Stage

I love NYX Jumbo Pencils as they are so creamy, pigmented and can be used in a variety of ways.  I use them mainly for eyeshadow bases to deepen colours, make them truer to the colour they are in the pan, or make them brighter.  They do need to be applied in a thin layer and blended out, otherwise they can crease.

I even used them in my Halloween Skull Makeup Tutorial here.

Huge Priceline Sale!

Priceline Australia Sale

40% OFF All Cosmetics, in store and online +Priceline Australia website here November 19th & 20th. 

Standard shipping is only $5.95 compared to the standard $9.95.  

What do you have your eyes on from the sale?

Mirenesse Glamm Box - November 2013

Mirenesse Glamm Box November

Well guys, I got suckered in again.  Mirenesse were having another free shipping deal so I couldn't resist getting another Glamm Box.  (See my September Glamm Box post here.  Mirenesse Glamm Boxes here).  I was impressed with the last Glamm Box I received as it was three full sized products for $19.95.  

I chose the makeup only box again, obviously ;)  I thought that maybe I was lucky to get three full sized items last time and that my luck probably wouldn't stretch that far this time.  I also considered the fact that I might get items repeated but that wasn't the case at all.

Mirenesse Concealer

Australian Bourjois Haul

Hey! Wanted to share with you some Bourjois products  that I purchased from ASOS during a Bourjois sale.  

Healthy Mix Foundation - Vanilla 

I have tried the serum version before but not the regular version.  Basically the serum formula is a gel and this is a liquid.  I obviously haven't tried this yet so I can't tell you other similarities/differences.  This retails at Priceline for $32 which I refuse to pay for a Priceline foundation.  It's $18.97 at ASOS, I'd highly recommend ASOS for Bourjois and Rimmel.  They often have sales on both too.
