Hey dolls! I made my first Colour Pop Cosmetics order a few months back with some of my lovely girl friends after looking at a gazillion swatches since their shade selections (especially lip products) are basically endless. After being pulled in by the cute packaging, amazing swatches and even better price tag, I ended up with 9 Lippie Stix and 3 blushes and as you can read from the title, today I'll be giving you my thoughts on the Colour Pop blushes and how their perform on my skin.

MAC Shy Girl, Please Me and Up The Amp Lipstick | Review and Swatches

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!

Too Faced Sweethearts Blush in 'Peach Beach' and 'Something About Berry' | Swatch

Hi friends, back with another swatch post on the new Too Faced Sweethearts blushes which recently hit the shelves at Mecca Cosmetica! I've never owned any face products from Too Faced before so I wouldn't know how they would perform but I had very high expectations since this is a high end brand and the price tag of these two blushes don't come cheap. They retail at Mecca for $42.95 a piece but if you're looking for a cheaper alternative, it retails at Beauty Bay for $37.20 which is still expensive in my opinion! But you guys, the first day they released this blush, the lovely sales assistant from the Highpoint Shopping Centre store swatched it on my hand and I fell in love with "Peach Beach" shade because it had a beautiful coral glow to it so I couldn't pass it up. My boyfriend then gifted me the "Something About Berry" blush for our anniversary. What a gentleman!

Swatch: E.L.F Custom Compact or E.L.F Elements

Hey hey hey there bloggers! About one week ago, my friend Nhi from Sincerely Blushaholic and I placed an order at ikatehouse and I thought I'd purchase the E.LF Custom Compact from the crazy good reviews from Emily @ Beauty Broadcast! 

So this little palette is basically like a Z-Palette where you can buy single eyeshadows and put them in as opposed to leaving them in their pot. The palette allows four single eyeshadows to be put in and believe me, four is all you need if you can find the right colours! The E.L.F website offers a large variety of colours ranging from warm browns to bright blues and greens to dark black. The palette itself costs $1.99! (WHAT A BARGAIN, I KNOW!)
