First I picked up this LMNT Portable Phone Charger because lets face it, the iPhone batteries suck, and mine isn't even one of the faulty ones. This one was $24 which I thought was pretty decent, plus it's cute and handy to keep in my bag if I know I'm going to be out all day and night.
I've been wanting one of these hair brushes for ages so I was stoked to grab one of the Tangle Teezer Salon Elite brushes. Every man and his dog has raved about this brush and the one I got is sky blue and hot pink which has got to be the best colour combo ever. This one was $16 so a little cheaper than the ones you can grab at Priceline.
The thing I was most excited about in this order were the two Z-Palettes I finally got my hands on. I've been trying to get a Z-Palette for ages but had been knocked back on a couple of websites that couldn't ship them to Australia for whatever reason. If you haven't heard of Z-Palette before, it's basically a magnetic, empty palette that you can put de-potted eye shadow pans in. I depotted all the shadows from the ModelsPrefer Sweet Kisses palette that I reviewed a while back, because the tin they came in took up way too much room. Depotting can be a tricky process but the result - saving heaps of storage - is definitely worth it. These were $17 each.
Now, onto the lipsticks! I've been dying to try the NYX Butter Lipsticks so I grabbed Hot Tamale ($6) as a very bright, orange introduction to the formula of these lipsticks, which is very smooth and sleek. I haven't worn this one for any length of time yet, but I get the feeling it would slip around a bit on my lips.
Secondly I got a Heartful Silky Lipstick in Baby Doll from Korean brand Holika Holika which may or may not be purely because it looks so terribly cute. This one was $12 and though I'm not sure the colour suits me, the formula is quite nice - pigmented but creamy. Finally for the lipsticks, I caved and picked up No She Didn't from Lime Crime for $18. Now, I don't completely agree with the ethics of the company (there's a lot of contention surrounding the legitimacy of their items and the integrity of the company etc.) but it's so difficult to find "alternative" coloured lipsticks in Australia! If anyone knows any brands available in Aus that make coloured lipsticks let me know! This lipstick is very opaque and matte, it does tug on the lips a little on application but the finish is even. It would be interesting to see what the other colours are like.
So that's my whole haul! Again, sorry for being so absent, I'm really going to try harder but I do have a lot of assessments at the moment. My lovely boyfriend got me a tripod for my birthday so perhaps I'll have some fashion posts up soon! Hope you're all well.
