Just Plain Delirious: Nail

So on Friday, before Uni I headed to my local Target store to grab some Essence goodies. I was in search for one blush (which I have now) because it's somewhat a dupe for the NARS Luster one I've been lusting over! Without the $38US price tag (with shipping) for the NARS Luster one, I paid $4.95 for this amazing blush! I've been eyeing a peachy/orangey blush just for an everyday use and I fell in love with the formula of this blush. The packaging is flimsy but it will do.

The Essence Silky Touch Blush in Secret It Girl is my favourite blush colour at the moment. I also picked up Essence Forget It! Concealer Palette and it's pretty good! Essence products never fail to impress me with their quality, formula and also their price! One con I must add is that when I bought these two: Concealer & Blusher - they were sticky taped. I know that it prevents people from damaging and trying out new products in store but it left ugly residue and all... (pictures below) other than that. Love it!

I also grabbed some nail polishes and yeah, the wipes as well. They're target branded and they're made in europe. The facial wipes were only $2.25 and the Hand Wipes was $1.50.

You can see the sticky tape and the label at the back of the blusher is uneven because I had to sticky tape it back on :(

Also, grabbed some nail polishes for $2.55 each! The green one reminds me of China Glaze's Refresh Mint in a way, but when swatched next to For Audrey - it's lighter. Can't wait to try it!

Also a typical black nail polish that I don't have and will add to my nail polish collection.

If you look at the image above for the concealer, pink is for the undereyes, green is for redness and the beige is for blemishes.

Overall, I cannot stress how much I love these products!

You can find Essence in Australia at Target stores. They have a very limited range in cosmetics because they tend to run out quick. I found that I had to go to 2-3 target stores to find items in Sydney.

I might be doing a giveaway with the Blush and the Concealer since I bought one of each today!

So I've grabbed some things over the weekend. It's not much but I thought I would share!

I finally got myself a new face primer because I really disliked my Face Of Australia Face Base Primer with SPF 15 - because it just felt like moisturiser and I felt like it didn't hold my make up in place. I bought one before without SPF 15 and it worked okay. But after my cousin from Melbourne introduced me to Natio's products as well as trying on this primer myself (in which she uses) I was sold!

I bought this Natio Ageless Illuminating Primer for $16.95 at Priceline as well as ORLY Nail Polish in Sapphire Luck for $4.95, after the appealing 'galaxy swirl' colour in the bottle (which isn't really noticeable in this picture) I knew I just had to get it! As well as the fact that it's a unique blueish colour and I could use a change from all the neutral nail polish colours I have from OPI.

Also pictured here is my NYX Mosaic Powder in Highlighter 01 which arrived in the mail around a couple of days ago from America. I bought this on eBay roughly $10AUD with postage and I wanted to try a highlighter as well as build up my make-up collection (consisting of the essentials).

Also added upon my recent purchases is this! I've bought heaps of these in the past and thought I'd share with you which these handy wipes which I use. I have those ordinary Wet One Wipes/Kleenex ones where you put in the bag. But this cup of Antibacterial Wipes (for 25 wipes) is only $2 from Big W! You get more than those Wet One's/Kleenex ones which are the same price but you get lesser wipes. I always buy the bigger size (which is 50 wipes) in a different cylindrical packaging but my local Big W always runs out of them! So I stocked up on these and I just use them to wipe my hands/makeup/spot clean my brushes and what not! So handy!
