Last Minute Beauty Gifts for Christmas in Australia

Last Minute DIY Christmas Gifts

Last minute personalised beauty gifts from $20 - $70.
These are all products from my personal collection that I use and love.

I know not everyone has completed their Christmas shopping, so I wanted to give you a few ideas for some last minute shopping.  Everything in these suggestions are items that you can purchase in Australia in a physical store.  I wanted to make each item fairly affordable and personalised.

Each gift requires little effort but they look like you've put a lot of time, effort and thought into them.

DIY Nail Kit in a Jar

This is so simple to put together and looks really thoughtful.  

You can personalise it to the person you have in mind.  

I bought the jar from a dollar store for about $4.

I placed all the products around the inside of the jar, touching the glass and placed cotton squares in the middle to prop them up.

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.

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.

NYX Depotted Eyeshadow Palette

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. 

My Pressed NYX Eyeshadow Palette - I placed a rub on design and used the NYX word from the sticker on the back of one of the eyeshadows.

Cherry Culture currently have 25% off all NYX products here, so I thought it would be a great time to share with you some of my favourite NYX products, many I've been using for years.  I'm not affiliated with NYX or Cherry Culture, they have no idea I'm doing this.  I wish ;)  

Here are my top ten products from NYX: 

Halloween Skull Makeup Tutorial

With Halloween in a few days I thought I would share a tutorial with you all.  I wanted a more realistic skull rather than the more cartoon skulls or day of the dead skulls.  I didn't want to stick with the plain black and white.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out so let me show you how I did it.
