NYX Range In Target Australia And Where To Buy NYX Online

NYX Australia
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 2013
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 Cherry Culture Haul
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
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.

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.

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.

NYX Depotted Eyeshadow Palette

Depot NYX Eyeshadow

I wanted to share with you the NYX eyeshadows that I own while the sale at Cherry Culture is still on, see my post (here).  

I'm going to discuss with you how I made this palette and pressed these eyeshadows, but if you are only interested in the swatches you can scroll down.

I was tired of having all eighteen eyeshadows in the separate containers/trios they came in and found that I never really reached for them because of it.

Cheap Makeup Brush Cleaner




The good thing about having a lot of makeup brushes is that you can have enough brushes to do your own makeup and enough to do other peoples makeup.  The bad thing about having a lot of makeup brushes, is that when you use them all you have to clean them all! 

I have been putting off cleaning them, I usually try to clean them every 1-2 weeks, but some of them have been used for Halloween looks and are now extremely dirty! So what better opportunity for me to show you how I clean my makeup brushes and a few tips I've picked up along the way.
