Bomb Cosmetics Christmas Haul

BC2

A few months ago, I discovered the amazing Bomb Cosmetics, and did a huge haul! (Which you can read about here.) Since then, I've tried a few of their candles, but decided I definitely needed more! When Get Drenched, the Australian distributors for Bomb Cosmetics let me know about an absolutely amazing deal they had going on, I couldn't resist another haul for Christmas!

Get Drenched are offering a free gift pack worth $34.95 on all orders over $100, which is pretty generous! To make things even better, they decide to throw in two packs if you spend over $200! I decided to pick a few things up for my mum, as she's a bit of a candle fiend, and ended up with two free packs, courtesy of Get Drenched!

My haul, over $200 worth of beautifully scented goodies!

November Violet Box

VB1

It seems like all my subscription boxes have all begun to arrive at the same time, but this month the first to arrive was the November Violet Box! Only being a new box, they seem to be doing really well in delivering some pretty great products, so I'm always looking forward to them!

All the goodies this month!

Australis Velourlips Matte Lip Cream*

VE2

Australis Cosmetics have really been hitting it out of the park recently with their new release products, and one of their newer products that I've been very excited about are the Velourlips! Velourlips are matte lip creams; go on like a lip gloss and dry matte.

VE1

NY-CEE, TOK-I-O, MAL-I-BOO, RIO-D, PAR-EE

The names aside, I love the actual product itself! The colour range is delightfully fresh for a drugstore brand, including bright pink, peach and purple, as well as a classic nude and red. Surprisingly there aren't a lot of normal and neutral colours, so here's hoping they extend their range at some point!

Sheer Skin Perfect Natural AA Base *

AA1

As you guys already know, I'm one of the very lucky beauty testers for online retailer Cosmetic Love, which have a delightful range of Korean and other Asian beauty products!

This time, I was sent the Sheer Skin Perfect Natural AA Base. When I first read that, I had absolutely no idea what it was. Most of the instructions and ingredients are in Korean, so that didn't help me! A quick online search soon told me that this was in fact a primer!

AA2

I absolutely adore the sound of Sheer Skin! In addition to this product, they also make an array of skin care that I am now itching to try!

November FAB Box

FAB1

It's subscription box time again, and this month we're starting off with the newest box on the market, the Lust Have It FAB Box. Basically it's a beauty and accessory box, and only launched last month! (Which is weird, as last month's box was listed as the September box but was released in October, but this one is listed as the November box! Hmm?)

No box or interesting card for this one, just a photo of a lovely lady wearing sunnies!

FAB2

All the goodies together.

Neutrogena Beach Defence Water + Sun Barrier Spray & Lotion *

N1

Despite the crazy weather in Melbourne at the moment, summer is just around the corner for the rest of us! In Australia, when you think of summer, you instantly picture the beach, which of course means sunscreen! As kids, we were always taught slip slop slap - something that has stuck with us 80's and 90's kids for the rest of our lives, I'm sure - and so what better way to "slop" than to start embracing the new SPF50 rating finally released in Australia!

Neutrogena has released their Beach Defence Water + Sun Barrier Spray & Lotion; with a high SPF50 for extra protection! I love the bright yellow packaging, as it's perfect for summer and easy to spot, so no excuses for leaving the sunscreen at home this summer!

N2

The Beach Defence comes in a spray and a lotion. I personally prefer the spray, as it's a lot more fun than using lotion and it's also far lighter on my skin. A lot of sunscreens tend to break me out, especially when used on my face, but the Neutrogena Beach Defence was absolutely fine, and didn't even make my skin oily! I found that the lotion was also far nicer than other sunscreens I'd used in the past, and much like the spray, didn't break me out or feel heavy or oily on the skin.

NYX Cosmetics Haul

NYX1

NYX Cosmetics have finally hit Aussie shores, which means of course I had to go on a shopping spree! NYX is definitely a brand I love, but unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience with their products, so when they finally announced they were coming to Target stores across Australia, I was very excited!

While the prices are higher than the average US prices, I'm still happy to see them in store because it means I can actually test products before buying, and get them straight away rather than paying an arm and a leg for shipping that takes weeks to get to me!

NYX2

All the goodies!

BYS Eyeshadow Palette in Spring Bouquet *

BYS1

In the last few years, BYS Cosmetics have really stepped up their game and are releasing some amazing products! One of their old favourites, the BYS Eyeshadow Palette, has been given a bit of a makeover as well as a "new intense formula" as promised on the front of the packaging.

Today I'm showing you the BYS Eyeshadow Palette in Spring Bouquet, which is a collection of gorgeous purples!

Face of Australia Carnivale Nail Enamel Collection


FOA10

Face of Australia have done it again! They've released yet another amazing limited edition nail enamel collection, the Carnivale collection, which of course I had to get my hands on right away! This collection is a little different - firstly, the bottle shape has changed. The Carnivale collection is also a textured polish collection, which is definitely exciting as textured polishes have only just hit Aussie shores not too long ago and it's a fairly new concept to us!

October Empties

E1

I missed out on sharing my last month's empties with you, but this month I have a few empty products so I figured it was time to share! I do realise that my posts have been lacking the past week or so, due to my illness and planning my trip to Tokyo, but I hope I'll be back to normal soon!

October Lip Factory

LF1

Lip Factory is one of my favourite subscription boxes, but unfortunately I'm a little bit late in sharing the October Lip Factory! The October box actually came very quickly, but I forgot to review it earlier for some reason!

LF2

Since it's Fall in the United States, we got a gorgeous Fall themed card. I love the Lip Factory cards, they are so gorgeous and different!

October Violet Box

VB1

I'm so late with my subscription box posts this month - I've had such a busy month with so many social events and getting ready for my overseas trip to Tokyo in December! How exciting! I've finally gotten around to taking some snaps of the October Violet Box, a box which seems to have a lot of bloggers raving!

VB2

The usual card design! Never changes, but it's simple and pretty so I'm not complaining!

My Benefit Haul

B1

A little while ago, Benefit Cosmetics had an absolutely amazing deal called "The Best of Benefit Kit." This kit comes with four full sized products, plus a gorgeous makeup case, all for a discounted price!

I did order this a fair while ago but have only had a chance to have a play with any of my new goodies! As well as ordering "The Best of Benefit Kit" I also ordered a few extra goodies to qualify for free international shipping!

Katy Perry Killer Queen *

KQ1

I'm a sucker for celebrity perfumes, so when the gorgeous Katy Perry released her newest fragrance, Killer Queen, I knew it had to be mine! Katy mentions that she was inspired by strong, independent women while creating the fragrance. Let's face it, that's exactly how we see Katy Perry! Not to mention the awesome Queen song reference in there!

KQ2

The packaging is immaculate, and really caught my eye! I was really excited to see Katy Perry take a different avenue with her newest fragrance and moving away from the cute kitty design - this particular design is a little more grown up.
