HUGE Collective Haul ♡

I've been shopping again ...
I need professional help

  ♡ MAKEUP ♡

♡ Eyes ♡

Miki - Smoky Blacks.
I found these eyeshadows very powdery but they blended out very beautifully and are super duper pigmented. They last really well if you put something underneath them as a base. They also have a super cheap price tag which makes me a very happy chappy haha :)

Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit - 03 Dark
Well pigmented, long lasting, great colour, overall fantastic. I find this suuuper duper easy to use and it's my current go-to eyebrow product.

Maybelline Eyestudio - Brown
Very well pigmented, lasts extremely well, has a semi matte finish and was quite easy to apply and blended out super well and all that good stuff. If you're on the hunt for a brown eyeliner I highly recommend this :) 

Sorry for the change of background, not quite sure what
happened here haha 

Loreál Colour Infallible - 036 Naughty Strawberry & 031 Innocent Turquoise
These eyeshadows are heavily raved about on Youtube and the interwebs and well so because they are incredible! They're soooo pigmented and they're super duper easy to blend. They leave a kind of satin finish on the eyes. They look so pretty and they're so gorgeous and ahhh - they're amazing! The only thing that some people might think is a negative is the smell (if you have some of these, you know exactly what I mean). But they're on your eyeballs so it doesn't make much of a difference anyway haha :P 

Loreál 16hr Infallible Eyeliner - Black

This eyeliner is my new favourite. It's super duper creamy and glides on like an absolute dream. It's really pigmented and as the name suggests, it lasts a long time as well and doesn't vanish after an hour like my Maybelline one. I'm not sure what the white thing on the other end of it's for ... if you know let me know in the comments! :)

♡ Lips ♡

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balmstain -005 Crush Begun
This balmstain is glossy, decently pigmented, ridiculously easy to apply because of the pen format of the stick, doesn't really taste of anything and long lasting cus it stains your lips once it starts to wear off. Possibly the only flaw is the smell. But the quality of the actual product makes the smell worth putting up with. 

Loreál Colour Riche - 250 Make me Blush
This lipstick smells like candy and heaven. Sometimes I just sit down and sniff it, it smells SO GOOD! It's also very very pigmented and creamy and lasts for a fairly decent times and is almost matte on the lips. I'm also obsessed with the colour and it's perfect for everything.

Loreál Colour Riche Runway Collection - 680 The Muses Kiss

This has the same scent but not as strong, but has the exact same formula as the lipstick above ^^ Much love for this lipstick <3 

Maybelline Colour Whisper - 290 Strike a Rose & 305 Red Around Town
These are quite sheer as the name would suggest so it just depends what you're after. They're glossy and last well and smell delicious :)

Maybelline Colour Sensational (Limited Editon, sorry!) - 1000 Lavender Voltage
This is semi-matte but crazy pigmented! It also lasts ages and even though it's not very creamy it's not uncomfortable to put on or wear at all. It also doesn't have a distinct taste or smell and I would highly recommend these if you're into bolder colours :) Out of all the lipsticks this one is the most drying though, but it's not a problem if you put a chapstick on first :)

♡ Nails ♡

Revlon Colourstay - 310 Vintage Rose 

Revlon nailpolishes are my favourite so when I saw this new shade I instantly grabbed it. I was not dissapointed. Pigmented, glossy, long lasting, easy to apply, quick drying just greatness.

Sally Hansen Sugar Coat - 600 Sour Apple

These might be my new obsession. Super fast drying, pigmented, matte and the coolest thing about these is that once they dry they feel like sugar!

Revlon - Temptress 168

This is the perfected Barbie pink colour! I wasn't ready for how pigmented this is, you can leave it at one coat, it's that crazy. Again, last very well but I did find it took a little bit longer to dry and less glossy than the Colourstays but still love it! :)

NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel - 152 Tudor City Teal

This isn't as long wearing as I expected it to be, it chipped quite quicky. Dries fairly quickly, less pigmented than the Revlon or Sally Hansen but it's still fairly decent. But if you're patient and careful enough the colours really pretty and fairly glossy :)

♡ Beauty ♡

Aveeno Postively Radiant Intensive Night 

I've only used this a few times but I can already tell I'm gonna love it. It's very liquidy and sinks in immediately. I also wake up with super soft skin and I'm already in love with it. New staple alert ...

Number 7 Lift and Illuminate Eye Cream

Another product that I've only used a few times, it's a creamy consistency but sinks in real quick. I haven't noticed anything yet using this, but I'll keep you guys updated :)

 ♡ Clothing ♡

 I made another order on Boohoo and I got this swing dress, I don't think there's any left now though (sorry again..) This is the same style dress as one I bought last time and I'm in love with it. It's super duper nice fabric and flows sooo beautifully and twirls when you spin around. It also fits me perfectly and it's super cute and great to throw on for a day out :)

I also got another dress (well, playsuit actually) and I was completely obsessed with it and wore it everyday for maybe a week after receiving it which maybe was the reason why I stained it. I still have photos of the playsuit but it has stains on it so I didn't include them. The fabric was thin but opaque and soft and comfy and perfect and I got in grey so it was perfect for everyday wear and it was perfect in every way. And then I stained it. Ah, the struggle :(

If you guys have read all of this then hats off to you sir, well done.
Sorry for all the word vomit, there was just so much stuff haha :P 

Give me requests for what you'd like to see next from me! Thanks xx

Empties #1 ♡

I had accumulated a small pile of stuff I had used up lately, so I thought I should share my experiences with them to you guys haha :)

Nivea Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes for dry & sensitive skin

I got these makeup wipes because I was in desperate need of some as my other ones had run out, and these were on sale. They did the job and got all of my makeup off but I found that they stung my face a little bit after I used them - even though this is targeted for dry and sensitive skin. I wouldn't repurchase them but they did the job :)

Pams nail polish remover, Batiste dry shampoo - Original scent

The Pams nail polish remover worked perfectly for me and got my nail polish off super duper well without much effort on my part. It's super cheap and super good, if you live in New Zealand you can pick this up from New World for super cheap too :)

I have talked about this dry shampoo on my blog before, I loved it, it did a good job, it smelt nice (in my opinion anyway, most of my friends hated it haha) and I definitely would recommend this

Nivea pure & natural regenerating night cream for all skin types, the Falsies
volum express flared mascara, Maybelline Masterliner in black

The Nivea moisturiser quickly became my staple and my holy grail. It wasn't greasy, it absorbed very quickly, smelt good, did a faboosh job of keeping my skin hydrated and it was just very very good. If you're looking for a new night cream you should totally give this one a try!

The falsies is my all time favourite mascara. It gives lenght and volume and just makes my lases look awesome! I've already repurchased this haha

I have mixed feelings about this eyeliner. I use it for my tightline and waterline and it's very creamy and pigmented and glides on like a dream ... but it fades after a while (I'm guessing it's not waterproof). I find that after about an hour it's mostly faded away, but it's very creamy and easy to apply so it might be worth it?

Let me know in the comments what your favourite eyeliner is!

 Thanks! :) x

Clinique Moisture Surge Moisturiser - Review ♡

I got this moisturiser a few months ago and I've been meaning to make this post for a while now because I love this moisturiser SO MUCH! 

The moisturiser is very liquidy and feels very water based. It sinks into my skin INSTANTLY and  I can't feel it on my skin at all after it sinks in. It's not greasy or oily in the slightest. A little bit goes a very long way because it's so liquidy. It doesn't really smell of anything either and makeup applies really well over it cus it sinks in so fast that it doesn't get in the way of the foundation. 
It's super moisturising and after I apply it any dry patches on my face feel instantly hydrated, and my skin always feels incredibly soft after applying this.
This moisturiser is a little bit of a pricier one but if you're after a super quick and effective moisturiser then this is an incredible one to go for, and I'll definitely be re purchasing this after it runs out! 

Let me know your favourite moisturisers in the comments :) x

Lush Haul ♡

Here's some awesome goodies I picked up from Lush a while ago 

Note : I bought these items 2 months ago before their christmas collection came out so that's why there's none of them in here, otherwise I would've had a much larger splurge haha

That heart isn't a lush product by the way, it was just something I put there haha :)

♥ You've Been Mangoed Bath Melt. I got this cus I had never tried a lush bath melt and I was really intrigued by them. This bath melt is definitely not one for night time, it smells like lime and lemon grass and it's very refreshing. I used it in a morning bath and it smelt soooo good and definitely left my skin feeling super soft :) 

♥ Sunny Side Bubble Bar. This is also a citrussy one and it makes heaps and heaps of bubbles. I found this super refreshing and it makes your bath water go sparkly golden orange so it's quite a messy one as it'll leave glitter around your bath haha. 

♥ Sex Bomb Bath Bomb. Haha yes, it's a funny name but don't let this fool you. This bomb is incredible. It turns the water pink and smells like absolute heaven. It smells like roses and something else I can't quite put my finger on. It's one of my all time favourites from lush

♥ Creamy Candy Bubble Bar. This has to be my favourite scent from lush. As the name suggests, it smells like creamy candy. It's delicious and I've been tempted to eat it on more than one occasion. It also has shea butter chunks in it so it's super duper moisturising as well 

♥ Space Girl Bath Bomb. I've done a whole blog post about this with photos of the bomb in water and stuff, this is a close second favourite to Sex Bomb. It smells like blackcurrants and leaves your bath water looking incredible. Ugh I love this bomb soooo much

Hope this makes you guys wanna go into Lush and pick up a few goodies now haha :) Let me know what your favourites are in the comments!

Lush Space Girl Bath Bomb - Review ♡

It's no secret that I'm a huge lush fan, and when I last went to Lush I picked up the Space Girl bath bomb. I was enticed by the smell, it smells slightly like blackcurrant to me. The package says it smells of 'blackcurrant and sweeties' and I totally agree with this. It smells slightly like the Comforter as well :)

The bomb is shaped like Saturn and is a bluey purple with red on the outside. It also has a few golden glitters on it. It turns your bath a purply reddy colour after it's finished fizzing. 

I absolutely loved this bath bomb and it's probably up there with my favourites from Lush. 

Have you guys tried Space Girl? Let me know in the comments what your favourite products from them are :) x

Revlon Nail Polish Collection ♡

Hi everyone, my name's Rhin and I'm a nail polish-aholic. 

I have a lot of nail polishes, and I have to say that one of my favourite nail polish brands is Revlon. I feel like they last a good amount of time on my nails, they dry quite quicky, they're super glossy and very opaque and there are heaps of super pretty colours. I feel like they're just an overall amazing range so over the past year I've collected a fair few to say the least.

I'm gonna show you guys my collection so that if you're looking for a specific colour or want to see how these nail polishes look when they're actually on nails, this might help you :) 

Just as a side note, I messed the order of them up so the order I wrote the names down is the order of the actual nail polish bottles from right to left :)

Huge Drugstore Makeup Haul ♡

Surprise surprise, it's another haul. This is quite a biggun so bear with me here haha. This was not purchased all in one go, this is everything I've bought since my last makeup haul ... yeah, I know I know, I just ... I need help. 
________________________________________________________________________

♥ face ♥

♥ I'll start with BB creams. I got this one from Garnier which I also featured in my July favourites*. I loooove this so much haha.

♥ I also picked up another Collection concealer in Warm-medium 3 which is also in my July favourites.* 
♥ I also got the Rimmel stay matte powder. This is perfect for keeping your makeup on your face all day. I highly highly recommend this, I have mine in 001 transparent so it's perfect for all skin tones.
♥ Next is foundations. I wanted something that would be very light on my skin that would just make my skin look a little bit better without being heavy so I picked up the Revlon Nearly Naked. Once again, I have two because the first one I bought in 150 Nude was WAY too dark and made my face look orange. So I went back and got the one in 120 Vanilla which is perfect for my skintone. They're amazing foundations if you want something that's very light.
________________________________________________________________________

♥ eyes ♥

♥ I picked up a Nyx jumbo eye pencil in 614 Lavender. These fade a bit on me, but the colours are gorgeous and for the price they're quite good. And they have a maaaassive range of colours :)
♥ I got two Revlon eyeshadow palettes. First one is 010 Sweet innocence and I really freaking love this! It's nicely pigmented and lasts a long time on my lids and doesn't crease. It has six different colours which are all fairly neutral except for one dark purple and I've just found this very very handy. The other one I got was 585 Sea mist. They're both super good quality :)
♥ I also finally hopped onto the band wagon and got a Wet n Wild trio palette. I got the one called Walking on Eggshells in 380 and oh my goodness, this is SOOO GOOD! It's so pigmented and buttery and extremely velvety and easy to blend and lasts ages and doesn't fade or crease and wow. It's so incredible, and it's also really really cheap! If you haven't tried these yet then what are you waiting for!
♥ I also got a Revlon Lash potion mascara. I got this mostly because I was attracted to the packaging haha, it's a decent mascara, there's not much to say about it. It does the job and makes my eyelashes black :)

________________________________________________________________________

♥ lips ♥

♥ I got two of the Revlon matte balms (never one to miss a trend), one in 205 Elusive which is a beautiful slightly medium pinky shade, and one in 230 Complex which is a browny- orangy nude. I really like these chubby stick things, they last a decent amount of time and the colour payoff from these is soooo good! They're also super creamy and not drying at all considering they're a matte balm. I really highly recommend these :)

From left : Revlon 205 Elusive, Revlon 230 Elusive, Nyx Pure
Red, Revlon Juicy Papaya, Revlon 820 Pink Cognito

♥ I also got two more lipsticks from Revlon (whoops). I got the Revlon lip butter in 027 Juicy papaya which is a gorgeous coral orangey peachy pink colour. These are so super moisturising and they're quite sheer, I'd say they're halfway between a lipstick and a lipbalm but I've just really been liking it and their colour selection is huge and you have to go and try one haha :)
♥ I also got a Revlon super lustrous lipstick in 820 Pink cognito. It's a pink with slight golden shimmer in it, but it's very very sheer.
♥ Last but not least I got a Nyx matte lipstick in Pure red. It's a beautiful cherry red colour and they have heaaaps of different colours to choose from. The pigmentation in these is INSANE. They last super long on my lips and like the Revlon matte balms are not drying in the slightest even though they're matte. I just really really like this and I have to look into getting more of them :) 

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul and

hope I've helped in some way and that I didn't buy too much ... I'm sure I'm not the only one that buys a ridiculous amount of makeup. Right? *nervous giggle*

Ciao xx
