Random Cuties

Just a few bits and bobs i found around and really love

My new jumper from Big W soo cute


Two of my fave things, lady beetles (lets be honest its more the polka dots) and Hello Kitty, i found this at the supermarket





Australis new Eyeliner pen, haven't quite got the hang of liquid eyeliner yet but this is definitely the closest i have ever been $14.95 at Priceline


One of my new fave outfits, Cardigan from Asos with lace elbow patches $41
Red Cross over back collared top from Crossroads $5 - bargain!
Leopard print tights from Best and Less $20 they're crazy


Boots in 'Virgo' from Betts $89.99 but got them for $75 on sale, they are also on the Iconic under the name "Stockade by Therapy" for $59.99





Bitten by the Revlon Bug


Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains
As i mentioned in my previous post i recently purchased one of these in "Darling" a striking almost shimmery purple. It was a hard choice as i was also tossing up between "Charm" an orangey nude and "Honey" a subtle nude pink. After much deliberation I decided on darling as it was the darkest and I really liked the purpley color. It is unlike anything i have...
I went into Priceline yesterday and saw these little babies were on a buy one get one free offer so i immediately grabbed the colors i had forfeited on my previous trip 
Swatches are mirrored to stock photo






I just think these are wonderful. They are nice and pigmented without being too scary. They are creamy and feel nourishing on the lips. I love the silver crayon twist top bottom, reminds me of being in school. I find they are great to throw into a handbag and have on me at all times.

If Priceline were a man

Oh he would not have even needed to say hello...
So i've been shopping again, quite alot.
On one of my recent visits to Priceline there was a 3 for 2 offer on Face of Australia so i took advantage and picked up some other beauties along the way


Essence "Get Big Lashes" mascara - $4.50
Now this is one chunky little tube and it has a massive wand but realistically for such a cheap mascara i really cant complain it does the job quite well. Would definitely repurchase as a daily bash about. 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind - $15.95
This was actually purchased for my mum to remedy under eye wrinkling but i will be stealing this back after her event, it is so silky and amazing as a primer and it may seem expensive for a 25ml tube but i have a 30ml tube of primer from The Body Shop that i paid $32 for... so to me this is a bargain. Even on myself it does seem to 'puff' me up a tad on my under eye circles so it seems to be beneficial to all ages. 

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - $17.95
In a word LOVE. Crayon like lipstick gloss hybrids they are amazing!! Purchased in the color Darling. Blog post to come with swatches and other colors. 

Face of Australia Lip Definer Classic Nude - $5.95
I am new to the concept of lip lining. This was also for my mother as she suffers from lipsticks bleeding. I have found this pencil quite easy to glide onto the lip and rather pigmented. Would i repurchase? For me.. no as i don't feel the need to line my lips but i would recommend these to women who do need that barrier to protect from color run.  

Models Prefer Moisture Lust Glossy Lipstick - $11.99
I originally bought this in the nude shade Pannacotta, i loved it so much i went back and bought another Peach Ice Tea. This lippy is so pigmented and so creamy  They are gorgeous and i cannot get enough of them.


Models Prefer Nail Enamel - $5.99
I got this in the shade Platinum. I have another one of their polishes and i find it wears quite well, i chose this shade trying to get something similar to the mirrored metallic silver nails i have seen floating on instagram. It isn't quite there but i like it nonetheless.

Face of Australia HD High Definition Brow Kit $9.45
I LOVE THIS! I have been trying to get into doing my brows for a little while now and i had used eye shadows and pencils and i just couldn't find the right shade or the right consistency... until now. 


I have found i only really need the lightest shade even though i have fairly dark eyebrows, this light shade is very natural and subtle. The little tweezers aren't too bad if you are in a rush and the angle brush supplied is quite good also. I haven't tried the third color - the wax yet as i haven't found that i need it but all in all i love this and i didn't even have to pay for it after buying the lip liner and a mascara. (not pictured very basic product)

I hope this wasn't too long winded i just get so excited about my purchases!!
