Hello!
First day into Autumn, I hope you've all enjoyed Summer (for Australians, at least). I've became the tannest I've ever been my whole life last summer, and I'm not sure why. However, hoping that I'd go back to what I was this Autumn/Winter! No more tanning for me! Hopefully! (*´ｪ｀*)
Uni has started for me, again. And this semester is SOOOO busy! I've signed myself up for a language class, and 3 other theory classes. All which requires work placement, and also a lot of essay writings. Yet, I'm just here... chillin'... bloggin'.... haha.

BOURJOIS Paris Arty Chic [COLLECTION]
I feel like I've seen this collection by Bourjois some time ago... Anyone think so too?

- Rouge Edition Velvet ($24/2 shades) -- a matte lip colour.
- Smoky Stories Quad Eyeshadow Palette ($24/2 shades)
❺
CLINIQUE Chubby In The Nude Foundation Stick ($50/9 shades)
I'm pretty sure this is made available in 9 shades! Could be more. These are creamy foundation sticks that delivers instant, buildable, long-wearing and natural looking coverage. Can be used for concealing or all over coverage!
❻
COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Primer ($14.95)
As most primer claims: formulated to help prepare the skin and lengthen the wear of foundations. Smooths lines, minimises pores and reduces imperfections.
❼
COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Luminous Foundation ($20.95/5 shades)
A lightweight luminous and radiant foundation (oooh!). Blends easily and formulated with vitamins and all that good stuff (that never really works to do anything).
❽
ESSENCE All That Greys [COLLECTION]
Late 50 Shades Of Grey inspired collection? ｡(*^▽^*)ゞ Kidding!

- Unsure about that nail-sticker lookin' thing in the corner, sorry!
❾
ESTEE LAUDER Brow Now All In One Brow Kit ($72/3 palettes)
Dam, that price doe. The only interesting thing about it is its claim to mimic the natural sheen of brow hair, since it is infused with "micro pearls". Eeep, $72 for these micro-pearls.. This better be brow-magic to anyone who decides to pick this up. On counter 13 March.
❿
REVLON Mascaras ($21.95/5 formulas)
Umm, okay, so there are five different mascaras for this range... I wonder how different could they really be from each other (?)
⓫
RIMMEL LONDON Magnif'Eyes Double Ended Shadow & Liner ($16.95/4 shades)
A dual-ended tipped pen that features a long-lasting eyeshadow and a kohl kajal liner. Crease-proof, transfer-proof, and waterproof. Mmmmm, interesting! Would love to swatch these at the stores!
⓬
SHISEIDO Synchro Skin Foundation ($72)
Not sure how many shades, but I think this is the first time featuring Shiseido in my launches! Thought these looked pretty interesting, so here ya go! These are described to be a "long lasting liquid foundation that works to enhance the complexion. No creasing, and no fading!
Available 27 March.
⓭
SUKIN Oil Balancing [RANGE]
I LOOOOOOOOOVE Sukin, but they are launching way too many products this month! So many to compile together! (*ﾟｰﾟ)
- Anti-Pollution Facial Masque ($15.95)
- Oil Balancing Clarifying Facial Tonic ($12.95)
- Mattifying Facial Moisturiser ($12.95)
- Pore Refining Facial Scrub ($12.95)
- Purifying Gel Cleanser ($12.95)
⓮
SUKIN misc. products
Besides the range, they're also adding 3 new products to their permanent range!
- Hydrating Facial Masque ($15.95)
- Renewing Green Tea and Jojoba Body Scrub ($14.95)
- Energising Coconut and Coffee Body Scrub ($14.95)
⓯
YSL Touche Eclat Le Teint ($85)
Urghhhhh, what is up with these higher end brands never stating how many shades they have in their ranges! Urgh. Anyways, this is a foundation that matches the illuminating power of the cult Touche Eclat. Visibly awakens and energises the skin, is weightless and offers "perfect" coverage.
Aaaaaaaand, that's all for this month! About 5-6 handful of products, ranging from lower end brands to the higher-ends.
Despite being a budget-beauty queen, I'm always open-minded to prices of the higher-end products, but
woah! That brow kit by Estee Lauder really gave me a slight heart attack! $72 for a brow kit! Could buy myself 3-4 ABH Brow Wiz's! Craaaaaay.
What do you think of this month's launches?
Have you tried any new products from last month?
I've tried looking around for
MAYBELLINE Colorblur Lip Pencils (swatches
here) , but had no luck! Also passed
L'OREAL Matte FX Lip Colours. Had a very funky concept, but not sure how I feel about it yet!
Either way,
if you're keen on any of the Sukin products, they're currently on sale at Priceline, so gooooo!
