AUGUST MAKEUP HAUL

I haven't really been out shopping this month, but when I did, I managed to pick up these goodies that I am dying to try out (well, some of these products have already been tried out because I couldn't resist)!

Firstly, I must say I know I promised not to buy any more eye shadows... but I just couldn't resist! These were on sale in Sportsgirl, and were marked down to almost half price! A bargain if I do say so myself. For those of you who don't know, Sportsgirl is an Australian fashion and beauty store that stocks affordable fashion pieces and gorgeous makeup  products which I can never resist buying. The palettesI picked up are called Silver linings, featuring mainly black and silver shades, and Wild at Heart, which includes olive and champagne toned shades. Silver Linings also features a pink shimmer, which I don't think I'll be using anytime soon, but who knows?

Also, I bought the Real Techniques Multi-task brush, because I already use their blending brush (for eye shadow) which I am head-over-heels for, and decided I needed another to add to my collection. I just couldn't resist...

Now, about the lip pencil/crayon, I actually saw my mum with this product, tried it, loved it, and went out to buy one for myself! Great marketing, mum! haha. I've used it a few times already, and I especially like pairing it with a lip gloss of the same colour to give it a glossy finish because I prefer that to just a pain shimmery matte finish.

So, that's the end of my little haul - hope you liked it! And I must say - wow, it's nearly the end of August! This year is going so fast - nearly Halloween, then Christmas and then the new year! I'll be year 11 next year which is pretty stressful but I am so excited none the less. What year are you guys in at school/what year are you going into next year?

SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF BEAUTY TAG

As you may know already, I really enjoy these tags  and I've been seeing this particular one around lots and so I thought I would give it a go. Lets hop right in:

GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?  My most inexpensive would be the $2 lip glosses from Boe Beauty I got a few years ago... and have on;y used once or twice. Most expensive would have to be my Real Techniques brushes, but they are totally worth the buy!

WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What product has been the hardest to get?

 Maybelline's Pure Dream BB cream has been so controversial for me. I loved it then I hated it, and now I'm loving it again. The secret for me was to use a primer. Now it just stays on and I love the minimal coverage so much! Also, I have had such a struggle in finding the Maybelline Baby lips lip balm in cherry crush. I have the rest but just can't find that one!

GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products? Delicious? I'm certainly not going around eating my make-up, but I think that the Model and Co lipgloss that I mentioned in this post tastes like strawberries, and I must say, even though I don't like strawberries themselves, that it is very yummy. 

SLOTH: What beauty products do you neglect due to laziness? Well, it may not be for laziness, but I have certainly be neglecting my eye and cheek palette from ULTA3. I really should get onto using it, thanks for the reminder!

PRIDE: What beauty products give you the most self-confidence? Ahhh. The good old classic red lip does the trick every time. My Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107 is the one. I just feel so powerful and badass when I wear this and as though I can take over the world (although that may be a slight exaggeration).

LUST: What products are you currently lusting over? The list of products I want at the moment must be un-healthy! I have heard so many good reviews about Maybelline's Lash Sensational mascara so I really want to give that a try, and I also want to get my hands on the eyeshadow quads from Rimmel. I'm going shopping tomorrow (yay!) and I might just pick up both these things.

ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift? Probably the Naked palettes, and out of them I most want number 2. Taupe toned neutrals work so well with my skin tone, and the colours are oh-so swoon worthy!

And that's it for today! I tag any of you who want to do this - and if you do please leave me a link to your post as I would love to read it! :)
