NEW ON COUNTER (APR 17): Australis, Revlon, Avon, Benefit, Sally Hansen, Elizabeth Arden

Currently on break from uni and such... Sleeping in feels like such a blessing!

A few snaps of things I've been getting up to:

#photo

AUSTRALIS Bae Watch Mascara ($14.95)
A mascara designed for volume, curl, lift and lengthens. Clump-free and intensely pigmented.

AVON True Colour Wide Awake Mascara ($14.99)
Same-same in terms of claims, but in addition, suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

BENEFIT They're Real Double the Lip ($36/8 shades)
Coooooooooool? I actually can't remember the last time I've heard any lippy news from Benefit! This is supposed to be a liner and lippy, two-in-one product.

COVERGIRL Katy Kat (in collaboration with Katy Perry)

• Mascara ($18.95/2 shades): offers a dramatic look, for a cat-eye look. 
• Matte Lipstick ($17.95/11 shades)

ELIZABETH ARDEN Lasting Impression Mascara ($42/2 shades)
Delivers length, separation and definition. Another mascara! (y am i not surprised?)

REVLON BEAUTY TOOLS

• 4-in-1 Blending Sponge ($10.95): Very interestingly shaped beauty blender!
• Brush & Sponge Daily Cleanser ($14.95)
• Professional Blending Brush ($15.95): Like a beauty-blender, but as a brush instead.

REVLON

• Colorstay 2-in-1 Angled Kajal ($23.95/4 shades) -- A dual-ended angled eyeliner with an attached brush. Waterproof.
• Colorstay Brow Crayon ($25.95/3 shades) -- Blendable and buildable brow crayon for defining the brows.
• Colorstay Brow Pencil ($22.95/5 shades) -- Dual-ended brow pencil that fills and tames the brows.

SALLY HANSEN Miracle Gel Rustic Charm Collection ($16.95/6 shades)

Six limited edition shades inspired by the autumnal country landscapes! It's actually so new that I can't even find photos of the shade range, soz. 

SCOTT CORNWALL Hair Toners ($16.99/3 shades)

I don't usually feature hair products but these surely do look interesting! Available in three different shades.

Short and sweet this month, not many products at all. Nothing very intriguing this month. The Covergirl Katy Kat lippies, I've already got my hands on those.

As for the three mascaras, not really! 

I've been experimenting with MAYBELLINE The Falsies Push Up Mascara ($21.95) and I've been loving it so far, therefore, not looking to change anytime soon. 

The Revlon beauty blending sponge definitely has my attention, but the last time I've purchased blending sponges from drugstore brands (ahem, Australis!), I was fairly disappointed so........ probably not!

What do you think?

Let me know!

NEW ON COUNTER (SEP/OCT 2016): Benefit, Rimmel London, Bourjois, Bioderma, Revlon, Clinique & More!

Yoyoyoyoyo, sup everybody. Yo girl back with the New On Counter post. Oiiiiiiiiii.

As usual, couldn't handle life last month, so I skipped September's launches. 

Didn't think September would have so many launches that'll roll over to this month's post, but... Apparently not so!

So, expect this to be a looooooooooooooooOooooooong post. Yay!

❶ ELIZABETH ARDEN Beautiful Color Bold Illuminating Liquid Highlighter ($45)
A limited-edition liquid highlighter with a golden hue. Has a soft gel texture that'll blend seamlessly for a healthy glow.

❷ BENEFIT B.Right Firm It Up! Eye Serum ($65)

Described to be an eye serum that'll help with firming, tightening and brightening! Weightless formula, instant effect. 

❸ BENEFIT Brow Kits ($59)

Brow kits designed to shape and define the brows. Available in Bigger & Bolder, Defined & Refined, Soft & Natural. Each kit contains different products! Listed below the following images:

❹ BIODERMA Sensibio AR BB Cream ($43.99)

Not sure how many shades they have in this range, but offers medium coverage. Covers and prevents redness. SPF30. 

❺ BIODERMA Sensibio Milk ($32.99)

A no-rinse cleansing milk that will gently cleanse sensitive skin and remove make-up. Also softens and soothes the skin. 

❻ BIODERMA Sensibio Toner ($32.99)
Formulated for sensitive skin. Soothes, tones, moisturises and refreshes the skin.

❼ BOURJOIS Volume Glamour Effet Push Up Black Serum Mascara ($23)
Delivers softer lashes with continued use. Glides on smoothly, defines the lashes without clumps, volumes and intensely black.

❽ BURT'S BEES !00% Natural Facial Cleansing Oil ($34.95)
Think I've seen this in stores! Really dig the packaging (but maybe that's because I love everything that's yellow, hehe). Burt's Bees describes this as a facial cleanser that gently dissolve dirt, impurities and make-up without stripping the skin's protective barriers. "100% natural", they say.

❾ OPI Retro Summer Nail Collection ($19.95/6 shades)
A new name collection for the upcoming Spring/Summer!

❿ PONi COSMETICS Brow Kit ($69)
As mentioned in my previous post, PONi, is an Australia brand. Available at selected salons, I believe. Anyways, this brow kit contains a brow powder, setting wax, their POP! 3-in-1 Brow Highlighter/Concealer, dual-ended Pro Brow Brush and a mirror. $69 is a hefty price-tag though, eep.

⓫ REVLON Colorstay Not Just Nudes Shadow Palette ($29.95/2 palettes)
Another day, another nude palette on the market. Who's still surprised? lmao. Available in Passionate Nudes and Romantic Nudes, each palette features 10 neutral shades in both matte and pearl finishes. Long-lasting, has a silky texture, blends easily, crease and smudge proof.

⓬ REVLON Nail Enamels ($13.95/8 shades)
BAM! Eight new shades to their nail collection. The usual claims, meh.

⓭ RIMMEL LONDON Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate ($13.95/6 shades)
Kate Moss' lippy collection, featuring her favourite reds and nudes. Lasts up to 8 colours, creamy, smooth and comfortable to wear. #kindakeen

⓮ RIMMEL LONDON Super Gel Nail Polish by Kate ($9.95/3 shades)
Aaaaaaaaaand, a nail collection inspired by Kate's favourite reds and nudes.

⓯ BOBBI BROWN Long-Wear Liquid Liner ($46/5 shades)
A liquid eyeliner with a wearable chrome finish. Contains a blend of pearls, so expect a shimmery finish! Sweat and humidity-resistant.

⓰ CLINIQUE Superbalanced Silk Makeup SPF15 ($50)
Not sure how many shades, but this is listed as a "skin-balancing" foundation. Supposedly suitable for all three skin types: dry, combination and oily. Provides medium-buildable coverage.

⓱ NATIO Natural Shades Eyeshadow Palette ($19.95/2 palettes)
Like I said, another day, another nude palette, lmao. Second neutral palette for this month! Available in 'Rosebud' (plums, pinks and copper hues) and 'Golden' (nudes, coppers, mocha tones).

A total for 19 products this month, nice. That's excluding quite a few other products that I've skipped too! I think it would've totaled to around 40 if I included every single cosmetic product amongst all brands that I usually feature! Skipped so many Bobbi Brown and Clinique products, sorryyyy.

However, besides all them... Thought I'd share with you this candle collection by Natio (on counter 17 October):

Poached Pear & Cinnamon, Quince & Rhubarb Scented Candles ($26.95)

Rose & Mandarin, Jasmine & Vanilla, Coconut & Lemongrass Scented Candles ($26.95)

Once upon a time, I LOVED collecting candles. Used to light them up a lot, but quickly grew out of it. Should get back into it again. Look how cute those jarred candles areeeeee.

ALSO, on my wishlist, this limited edition Halloween scent by Glasshouse Fragrances..

Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie Triple Scented Candle ($42.95)

Been keen to try their candles (heard they are amazing!), but always so poor.... lmao. Meep.
