Shopping My Stash - Day Two

Hi Pretties

Welcome to shopping my stash day two.  I managed to use another 5 neglected items today.

First up is a ModelCo lipgloss from a LustHaveIt in Showgirl red.  No real reason for neglecting this product I just prefer lipsticks.  This gloss has a nice sheer tint to it and it quite shiny.  This is not sticky at all which is really nice.

Next up is another product from my Priceline gift with purchase bag from a couple of months ago.  This is a nice Australis blush from the Paparazzi Perfect line in Poser.  I neglect this because it is very pigmented.  Even if I use a stippling brush to lightly apply it is very dark and can almost look muddy at times.  By the end of the day when it has started to wear off my skin it is a much prettier colour.

Another neglected Mac product.  This is an eyeshadow in the colour Blanc Type.  The only real reason this gets neglected is most palettes have a highlight shade that is just easier to use than this one being a single shadow.  I wore this across the lid today and as a brow highlight.

Fourth product is the colour 284 from the Loreal Studio Secrets range.  I wore this in my crease today for a very natural look.  I don't generally reach for this eyeshadow much as it is not overly pigmented and takes a bit of work to get a good colour pay off.  It's too much hard work of a morning.

Lastly is another old, old bronzer.  This particular one is by Face of Australia called Outback bronze.  A little too shimmery for a bronzing powder as I much prefer a matte bronzer (like Hoola!).  It is also the type where you shake a little out into the lid so it is a little hard to get an even application with a large brush.

Thanks for reading my pretties.

Have you shopped your stash today?

Sunday night haul!

Hi Pretties

Well another week has come to and end and it has been another busy busy week and weekend.

I had a very exciting haul week this week.  I didn't get too much but I got something I have been very excited about.  My Coastal Scents 22 piece brush set!  I ordered this on Tuesday and paid express Fedex and it turned up on Friday.  I was so excited to get the 'delivered' email that I almost wanted to leave work straight away!  The full set plus delivery was $70 and it came with the pleather case and 22 brushes as shown in my new brush holder behind the case.  I also ordered an extra brush that was on clearance.  If you are interested I'll do a full review on the brush set!

I got a couple of things from The Body Shop this week as well.  I got the cute little facial brush which is super soft, and some blotting paper.  They were $4.95 each.  I also got a new Body Shop facial washer but I've already covered it in make up so I didn't want to picture it.

I picked the Garnier BB Cream this week as well.  I've read some good and some negative review on this and I actually quite like it.  I think if you purchase this product expecting a BB Cream you would be sadly disappointed but if you go into this knowing your getting a tinted moisturiser I think you would be pretty happy. I've tried several methods of applying and I've settled on stippling with my new Coastal Scents Bionic Brush.  I love the application it gives.  I finish this cream with a matte powder and it keeps the shinys away.

I received a couple of freebies this week too.  I finally got a Clinique mascara in the mascara swap.  I'd put my name down at my local David Jones ages ago when the swap was on as they had not yet received their sample sized ones yet and they finally rang me on Thursday saying they had one in for me.  'Yea!'  I'm yet to try this.  My other freebie is an eyeliner from Model Co.  I'm getting a little collection of these going!  I have not tried this yet either.

It was also Bellabox time of the month.  You can read about my Bellabox post here.

That's my haul for the week!

What did you pick up this week?
