Hello beauties, welcome back to my blog! If you follow me on Instagram (@ninashausofmakeup) then you would've seen that my wonderful sister, Jennifer, gifted me three gorgeous MAC lipsticks which I've had my eye on for awhile. If I had to recommend just one product or category from MAC, hands down it would be their lipsticks. My first high end purchase when I was around 15-16 was a MAC lipstick in the shade 'Lady Bug', a lovely classic red shade which I still own! Although it retails for $36AUD, it was well worth it because after all these years, here I am still purchasing MAC lipsticks and adding more and more shades into my never ending collection. I definitely think this was a .. I guess you could call it, 'turning point in my life' where I started to become interested in makeup and beauty. Anyways, enough rambling!

I've discovered some new and old favourites so hopefully you enjoy and don't hesitate to share yours in the comments below. Let's get started!

5 AMAZING Products I Can't Live Without | September 2014

We all have those certain products where if a crazy, makeup stealing robber was on the loose, we would desperately hope they won't take them or be interested in. Now surely we have more than just five beauty faves we can't live without but let's narrow it down as much as possible! I'm still undecided about my real, holy grail products but I think the selection of beauty products I have now will suffice, but maybe I will do an updated post in the future. But for now, I'll stop my rambling and jump straight into it.

NARS Creamy Radiant Concealer | Review

Hi guys! Back to review a cult fave amongst the YouTube and Blogosphere and it's the famous NARS Creamy Radiant Concealer and I have mine in the shade Medium Custard which is great for girls who have an NC25 to NC30 skin tone. This retails at Mecca Maxima for $35AUD or you can find it on Kiss Makeup NY for $29AUD not including shipping. I've been on the hunt for a good undereye concealer, not only to brighten but to actually conceal my dark circles and also blemishes around my face. It's available in 10 shades, ranging from fair to medium to deep.

Collective Haul | July and August

Yes, I've done it again. I've gone out and punched a hole in my wallet but you know what? I'm loving everything that I've bought so far and thought it would be fun to share a little haul of all the products I've accumulated over the past two months. I'm pretty sure you all went a little crazy during Priceline's 50% off Maybelline sale and also Mecca Maxima's official price drop and of course I had to pick up a few items since I've had my eye on them for awhile!
