So guilty confession, I recently hit up the make-up sale and picked up the following items:

Batiste Dry Shampoo

I absolutely  love Batiste-its my go to, and so I quite happily picked up a full size can for $8 in the scent fruity and cheeky cherry.

Rimmel lipstick

This Rimmel lipstick was such a bargain, at just $5, I couldn't refuse! This one is in the shade 340- to nude or not to nude? Its a nice sheer pinky-red. 

Huggies baby wipes

This may seem like quite an odd purchase, but I find these are hands down the best wipes to use in place of make-up wipes. They are soft, smell great and are sensitive-as well as doing a great job removing make-up when I'm feeling to lazy to do it properly. These were $2.50 each, or 2 for $4, so of course I grabbed 2 packs!

Eos hand lotion

I am super excited about this purchase! I have wanted to grab an Eos hand balm for aggeesss, but its super hard to find in New Zealand. So when I found this I snapped it up in the scent cooling cucumber for $9

Posh finishing powder/bronzer brush 

This brush was $12, my most expensive purchase, but still a a really good price for  a make-up brush. I had never heard of this brand before, but the bristles are super soft, its a great shape for bronzing and seems to be great quality, as well as picking up a lot of product on application. 

So there we have it-I was pretty restrained in my purchases this time round.

Thanks for reading,

xo Beauty lashes

Gerard Cosmetics, 1995 lipstick by Jaclyn Hill

"Help! I have money for another beauty product I must have, but I just don't know what to buy!" I here you say? 

Not to worry, I present to you the xo Beauty lashes and Gerard Cosmetics lipstick.

I recently purchased myself a pair of the "Romantic" false lashes for a bargain $6. 99NZD, along with the Duo false eyelash glue for $12. 00NZD, which is an investment, I assure you. To start with the glue, I purchased it in dark but I do recommend the clear for less of a mess, and less need for two- inch eyeliner ;) However, the tube comes with a very generous amount of glue that will last you awhile.

I also really love these lashes as they have a clear, comfortable band, and are lovely and soft, comfortable and are made of real hair. Now, if you are not after the dramatic and rather 'showy' looking eye, I would recommend another type of lash as I found the "romantic" a bit too much for  daytime time wear, but other than that I have no complaints. 

These lashes are designed by New Zealander, and you tuber Shannon Harris (Shaaanxo), so it's always good to support a local, plus it means cheaper shipping of $4NZD.

Purchase your own pair here :)

Another purchase which just arrived is my Gerard Cosmetics 1995 lipstick by Jaclyn Hill, which I picked up from whitening lightening for I believe $20USD. This lipstick is described as the 'Kylie Jenner' lip colour, and I have to say this is very true to form. While appearing a slightly darker shade of red than I imagined, i still love this colour and its perfect for winter/autumn and those colder months, or a dark berry summer lip (if thats what your feeling).  The formula for this lipstick is creamy smooth, and rather moisturising. It also comes in the most gorgeous gold tube, a total must have!

Once again, thanks for reading!

Love Becca :)
