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!

The Lipstick Tag | By Amelia Liana and Essie Button

Hi guys! Back with another tag post but this time it's all about LIPSTICKS! Now I know there's a lipstick tag floating around the blogosphere already but this one was made by Amelia Liana and Estée from Essie Button so I decided to do it too and try something different. This post might be a little photo heavy so I hope you guys enjoy! Let's get straight into it!

MAC (Kuala Lumpur) | Haul

Hi guys! Yes, I'm back with another haul because .. well .. I did a lot of shopping. I decided to separate this makeup haul into two parts only because if I put it all into one then I would be talking forever and bore you guys! Now, I went a little crazy at the MAC Pro Store in terms of spending in the Pavillion which is located in Bukit Bintang. I didn’t pick up TOO much but I did manage to get my hands on some items which I’m so excited to share with you guys. Let’s start off with the lip products!

Everyday Makeup Routine | February 2014

Hi bloggers, I thought I might share my everyday makeup routine that I wear on most days whether I'm going shopping, having lunch, going to work or running errands! I love reading other people's makeup routines or Get Ready With Me types of videos just because I like seeing what products they're using.

Monthly Favourites | November

Okay, so I lied, they're not monthly because I've been neglecting these types of posts! But I will get better at them in time .. hopefully! But today I'll be sharing my November favourites with you guys and what I've been loving!

1. Firstly is the L'Oreal True Match Powder in W3. You guys, this pressed powder is so amazing, I brought this on my Sydney trip and it just worked wonders for my oily skin and it added a little more coverage to my face without looking cakey. It's smooth, fine and a little goes a long way and it also is the perfect shade for my skin. I has a great mirror on the inside and I just love it. I really recommend it. I would personally buy this as a cheaper alternative to my MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder (since it's cheaper)
2. Next up is the MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle. I'm sure all you bloggers and readers out there have seen and swatched this beautiful highlighter and have fallen deeply inlove with the shade and pigmentation of this product. I had my cousin buy this for me whilst he was in America and it was the best decision I've made! Not only was it cheaper over there, but the product itself is divine. The colour payoff is beautiful and gives the most natural glow to the skin without making you look like a walking disco ball. 
3. My Sleek Face Form Kit is another favourite for this month because of it's versatility. It comes with a lovely highlight, matte bronzer and a peachy blush with golden shimmer. It comes with a decent amount of product which in my opinion, will last me for awhile! I took this travelling with me because it had everything I needed in one compact. It matches my skin perfectly and afforable as well! Great pigmentation, I suggest you guys pick up any of Sleek's blushes or bronzers because I'm telling you now, you won't be disappointed.
4. A new item to my collection is the Maybelline theCOLOSSAL mascara in Black (Waterproof). I'm not the biggest fan of Maybelline Mascaras because I think their brush designs are too much for my short, sparse and little eyelashes. But when I saw my cousin using this mascara, I knew I had to try it out for myself. If you read in one of my previous posts, I recently picked up the Shu Ueruma Eyelash Curler and using that in conjunction with this mascara is a winner, winner, chicken dinner! I am inlove with this mascara because: 1. It's waterproof and 2. It holds my curl all day and night. I really recommend it, plus, I really love the wand for this mascara.
5. Last but not least is my L'Oreal BB Cream in Light. Usually I'm in the shade Medium but when swatching both shades in store, they seem to oxidise quickly so I opted for the Light. At first I wasn't a fan of this BB Cream, I felt like it added no coverage whatsoever and had a weird concept of containing small beads which contained the shade and would pop when you rubbed it into your skin. But now, I am loving this BB Cream, it gives me the right amount of coverage and feels super lightweight! 

Another month has come and gone and now we are in December, a month full of joy and happiness. I hope you guys enjoyed reading my post and please, comment down below with your November or any favourites you may have! 

Sephora, MAC and Victoria Secret | Haul

Hi everyone, long time no see! Welcome back to my blog :)

My cousin recently went to America and I gave him (yes him!) a list of beauty products to buy from Sephora and MAC since there are so many products that aren't available in Australia and at a cheaper price. My total order came to $170 which is pretty cheap in my opinion, if I was to buy it here in Australia, it would be double the price. I picked up:

1. MAC Lipstick in 'Creme De Nude'
2. MAC Lipstick in 'Faux'
3. MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in 'Soft and Gentle'
4. MAC Blush in 'Desert Rose'
5. Beauty Blender 

There were a few other items such as the Lorac Pro Palette and Shiseido Eyelash Curler but they've been out of stock for awhile since everyone is such a big fan of them! 

RiRi ♥ MAC Cream Colour Base in Diamonds | Swatch and Review

Hi there beauties, welcome back to my page! It feels like forever since I've written up a post so today I thought I would share with you guys the latest product to hit the MAC counters in Australia. And yes, you guys have guessed it; it's the RiRi ♥ MAC Collection and I unfortunately only picked up one item (since everything here in Australia is a little over priced in my opinion!) This is actually my first MAC purchase in Australia so I'm a little excited even though many people do it on a daily basis haha.

Monthly Favorites: May

The floral background was taken from Google, I am not claiming it is mine but I can't find the resource.

Hi again everyone! Two posts in two days? I must be getting better! Anyways, here are my favourites for the month. This post layout will be a little different from my last one but I hope you like it! So get straight into it!

Monthly Favorites: April

Welcome back to my page lovelies, it's been awhile hasn't it? Sorry for my lack of posts, I've been so busy with work and other priorities lately I haven't had time to blog or anything. Since everything is back to normal, I'm going to be doing a favorites post for you guys! Basically it's just my favorite products that I have used for the month of April. Let's get right into it shall we?! (I've missed you guys)

Let's start off with face products. First product is my Face Form Kit from Sleek. It's a trio palette which includes a bronzer, highlight and blush for about $12.50 AUD on their website! You guys .. I have been loving this palette this month.

No. 1: It has amazing pigmentation, No. 2: It is travel friendly and No. 3: It suits my skin tone so well! Oh and it's also really, really affordable! Definitely in my price range.
