Hong Kong Beauty Haul

A few months back i went to Hong Kong for just under 2 weeks. I desperately needed the holiday as i hadn't been on one in over two years.

I am finally sharing with you all the Beauty items i bought:

I tried not to go overboard with buying things, luckily i had my boyfriend there, otherwise i would have come home with probably more then double the amount of beauty items.

Review - Missha Lipstick and Blush

Here is the review of the other two Missha items i bought at the boxing day sales. There really isn't much you can say about a blush and lipstick so i've combined the two reviews.

First up  i got the sweet line blusher in No. 2 Fresh Cot, its a pressed powder in a mixture of three colours: peach, orange based bronzer and a white highlighter. You can also get it in a pink based one and a multi coloured one. I just chose the peach one because it suits my skin tone better then pink based ones.

Review: Missha BB Boomer

Hey Everyone,

So as most of you know i bought a few Missha products at the boxing day sales, this is the first review for the BB boomer cream.

I already hinted that i love this cream and after using it a few times, i really can't find anything wrong with it! Definitely a great buy. I have been using the Mac prep and prime before this one and i HATE it!! worst primer, it does absolutely nothing for your skin, it kind of makes me feel like im just paying for glitter.

The cream as its name suggests is a primer for bb creams or as im using it as a primer for foundation. It boast a moisturising effect and more radiant skin.

First impressions: the cream is very light weight and silky. It comes out of the tube somewhat quickly in a very thin line (not sure if that makes sense... but see picture below) which is good because you really don't need very much.

I love how this cream sits on my skin its so lightweight and it creates a kind of veil over your pores, so your skin is left with an almost airbrushed look. And it doesnt leave any residue 'so your foundation goes on perfectly.

The Cream is a white colour but when rubbed in slightly it gives a kind of pinkish glow (very hard to capture on camera) which i think is what helps it give you that slight airbrushed look. 

As for helping your foundation last longer, it really does help. Your still left with perfect foundation at the end of the day. It does moisturise your skin a little, but definitely not enough to skip your normal moisturiser (especially if you have dry skin like me)

If there was one beauty product that id say everyone should have, this would be it!

Rating: 5/5

Both websites have a limited range, but they usually stock the bestsellers.

Boxing day sales haul

Every year i go boxing day sale shopping, i love getting some of the one day only bargains.
This year i thought the sales were pretty lacking, most of them started before Christmas so they only had the odd stock left (the large sizes and strange colours). Plus i don't think i have ever seen Sydney so crowded! you could hardly move!

If i am here next year i think i will probably give it a miss. I didn't get very much this year, but i thought id share with you what i got, everything was 50% off except the Missha make up which was 20%.

What i bought in the city: Missha items had 20% off: primer, blush and nude lipstick. I absolutely love all three of these, i tested them out today, best primer ever! and a pair of suede nude Siren shoes, look fantastic with fake tan.

The shoes and Missha items again, plus what i got in Chatswood.
 Super basic top, with cute frills from Kookai to wear to work.
Gold earrings from my absolute favourite store, Mouche.
And a Lush gift set which and their Daddy-o violet shampoo which is meant to be pretty good.

The little red bottles are some Christmas themed body wash from Bath and Body works which my Friend visiting from LA gave me, got these while boxing day shopping so i added them to the haul shot.
