My Sephora/Ulta Holiday Wishlist

Happy holidays everybody!

I'm sorry I've been away for so long. I lost inspiration for blogging then started to actually study to be a make up artist in September and I didn't have the time to blog or do any YouTube videos. But I am back with my *drum roll* holiday wishlist! If you're reading from the US, we do not have Ulta or Sephora here in New Zealand. So whenever my favourite YouTubers bring up holiday gift sets, I basically want to cry. This year I thought it may be fun to create a wishlist, who knows? Maybe I'll dive into the world of Youshop and have a few of these things sent over here for me to cherish. As far as I know these are all holiday gift sets, or at least released during the holidays but they may be permanent. Anyway if you're curious about some awesome gift sets that I have my eye on, please keep reading. These are in no particular order.

Maybelline Better Skin - Final Update and Gianni Rotti Eyeshadows!

Alright beautiful people!


My final verdict for the Maybelline Better Skin foundation is that it has done nothing to help my skin. Still as many break outs, hyper pigmentation and general flaws. I am sick at the moment so naturally my skin isn't going to look its best, but even before I got sick I could tell it was doing nothing. I've heard from a friend that the skincare benefits work for her, but on my skin, not so much. I won't be wearing this foundation very much because I don't like the way it looks on my skin and I also hate that it's very orange. Because I knew my verdict would be short and sweet, I wanted to add something else to this blog post. So let's talk about eyeshadow!

My Little Haul

Hello loves!

I did a little haul on my channel here and decided to do swatches and everything on my blog instead of doing them in the video! I bought everything from Marlaine, as usual. Often I do really big hauls, but this one included a couple of high end items that I desperately wanted. So let's get into it!

Maybelline Better Skin Update #2

Hello lovelies!

Back again to let you guys know how this foundation is working out for me.

I know the lighting isn't the best, but basically it hasn't changed my skin at all. Because it's that time of the month, I do have quite a few break outs and in general it's just doing nothing to make my skin look better. Still bad discolouration across my cheeks, still just as many break outs as I usually get. Really there is nothing to report. I also still hate the way it looks on my skin when it's on. I figured by now I would start seeing results but I haven't. Really disappointing, honestly. I'm sorry if you love this foundation and you're offended by my opinion, but I'm just letting everyone know how it works (or doesn't, in this case) for me. 

Thanks for reading,

Maybelline Better Skin Update #1

Hello gorgeous!

As you may or may not know, I have been testing out the Maybelline Better Skin foundation to see if it lives up to its claims. If you want to read my first post about this foundation, just check here. I did wear it every single day that I wore make up last week (5 days I believe, I like to give my skin a break). The aim is the 3 week mark so shall we see if it has made any improvement so far?

Urban Decay Ammo palette - Swatches and Review

Hello stunners!

We're back on the eyeshadow palette train and I'm the driver. I recently found out that there is a palette by Urban Decay called the Ammo Palette. It has 10 eyeshadows in it, some you may recognise and some you may not and I got it for about $50NZ on Trademe. Originally I was looking for just the Primer Potion but I decided to buy this instead because I got 10 eyeshadows as well for about the same price! Are you curious to hear my thoughts on it?

Nighttime Skincare Routine

Hello lovelies!

Since I'm doing a little series on the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin foundation, I thought we would talk about my skincare routine too! This is just my nighttime routine, I know you're meant to cleanse, tone and moisturize before putting on make up, but honestly I only use moisturizer and eye cream. But at night, my routine is pretty extensive.
