Recently, I found myself acquiring a bunch of new beauty gear in the one week, so I thought I'd get it all together and share with you.

I needed to replace my Vani-T mineral foundation from the one I was kindly gifted at the first Bloggers United Adelaide event, so I logged on to their site and found that not only did they have a 10% off first orders code but also, the powder I wanted was bundled in with a moisturising primer and a cute kabuki brush in a Discover Minerals collection, so naturally I went ahead and added to cart. I haven't used a primer regularly before but so far I like what I see. The brush is marvellously fluffy and great for applying mineral powder and of course, the product is a HG.

I'd been stalking the Kat Von D Studded Kiss lipstick in Nobel for some time, waiting for a decent offer at Sephora online. When we ticked over into October, I got a birthday reward offer so I picked it up and the double-ended tarte Tarteist Double Take eyeliner in a moment of madness. I really need to ease up on black liquid eyeliner but I still can't tear myself away from the hope I will one day find a foolproof application method. It's super black and even the pencil end is mega inky so I need to take a light hand with it. The lipstick is paler than I expected but I am okay with that, as I did kind of think after hitting the order button that it would be too similar to one of my other million lipsticks but it's not, so yay.

Finally, I had an eye make-up lesson at the Benefit counter in Myer Adelaide. I am always up for tips and tricks and the lovely Gabby gave me some easy to follow ideas for creating a decent eye look, which I then went ahead to wear to the Spendless Shoes launch.


I decided to pick up the brow pencil and when I found out it came in a Defined and Refined Brow kit with full sized other gear for only a bit more, well - what else would you do.

I put together a face using all of the products (and a couple of others I had kicking around)


I didn't mean to take this shot with my eyes closed but it does actually work because you can see how I did my eyeshadow, using the tips Gabby gave me.



Bought any fun new beauty products lately?
