Beauty Goodies from the Easter Show

Anyone that lives in Sydney knows what the Easter Show is. I haven't been for years, and was super excited to go this year! I spent way too much money, but here are a few of the beauty goods I got in some of the show bags.

I did purchase the ModelCo tanning show bag, which I was very excited about. 

Schick Hydro Silk Razor
Razors - a necessity. The inclusion of this in a show bag was completely perfect, and I will be trying this out very soon.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush Mini 
Oh, my absolute favourite dry shampoo. And now I have two mini cans I can chuck in my handbag or gym bag. I'm very glad the Easter Show included sample size of this scent, because it is the best! (and if you haven't smelt it before, do yourself a favour and try it out).

Vaseline Healthy Radiance Anti-Ageing Lotion
I love Vaseline body lotions. My favourite is the yellow one for dry skin - I've recently purchased the spray bottle version which I absolutely love (ooh, spoiler alert for favourites). Happy to give this one a go, and the sample size is so adorable - would be great for travel as well!

Le Tan Fast Tan in Deep Bronze
The 'deep bronze' scares me, but nevertheless, I will give this one a go. From what I understand, this is a spray bottle, which is an interesting concept (to me, at least - my tanning experience is basically lotion) would be pretty useful in getting the areas I can't reach on my body - like my back. I will give this one a go soon.

Rosken Skin Repair Dry Skin Cream
Last year I picked this up and when I went to England I gave it to my Nanna because she has dry skin too. I really do like this, so I'm happy to have samples of it again. I have so many lotions, I need to cut down on the amount of product I do have - but samples are always great!

People for Plants Organic Lip Balm in Peppermint and Evening Primrose
Peppermint lip balms are my absolute favourite - they leave your lips feeling so refreshed! Very happy to add this to my collection of lip balms, and I think I have found a new favourite - after my beloved Paw Paw Ointment, of course!

Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make-Up Corrector Pen
I have seen this in the shops before, and the concept is very interesting. Can't wait to try this out.

DB Kohl Pencil in Black
Another kohl pencil to the collection. I'm not the biggest kohl pencil fan, so I'll probably end up giving this to my mum or something.

ModelCo Super Tan Instant Self-Tan in Dark

Why do they have to be in dark? I'm a bit scared to use this, but it says to leave on for two hours so I may cut that time and hopefully not go super dark. 

ModelCo Shine Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease 

I'm not the biggest lip gloss fan, but have recently started branching out into the world of lipgloss. This is a nice peachy pink colour that would work great on top of a nude or a pink. 

ModelCo Tan Remove Self-Tan Removal Mitt

I've never had a self-tan removal mitt before (to be honest, didn't know they made them), but I like the concept. This is an exfoliating mitt, which would be good in prepping the skin for fake tan as well. 

ModelCo Fat Lash Volumising Black Mascara

I am on the hunt for the perfect mascara (I feel like this will be a lifetime mission). The brush of this reminds me of a bigger version of Benefit They're Real, so I'm super excited about that! Won't be using this for a while, though, because I do have quite a few mascaras to get through. 

ModelCo Glow Baby Glow Bronzer

This is probably the biggest bronzer I will ever own, but who can resist bronzer? It is a shimmery bronzer though, so I'll probably reserve use for this on night's out or in the summer months. Super happy to have another bronzer, though (bronzer is one of my absolute favourite makeup products). 

ModelCo Blend Buffing Mitt 

Tanning mitts are always useful and will always get used. I did just open up a new tanning mitt, but I am happy to have another addition to the family.

And those are the majority of products I did get! There were quite a few samples included as well, which is always exciting.

Thanks for reading,

Empties/Products I'm Chucking Out #5

David Jones Deeply Purify Facial Cleanser 

I got this cleanser in a set of samples from David Jones a couple of months ago. The next cleanser also came in the set, and although I enjoyed this cleanser the Burt's Bees I enjoyed more and would repurchase it over the David Jones. This cleanser worked well. 

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser 

I LOVE THIS. The scent is pleasant, and it feels so refreshing to use. I've repurchased the full size, and I think I've found my holy grail cleanser. 

Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel 

I'm not really one for sickly sweet smells, but I absolutely adore this shower gel! I got the smallest size available, but I'll have to stock up before its gone. 

Bioderma Cleanser

I purchased the smallest size available from eBay awhile ago to try this product out. This is a super soft cleanser and removes makeup. I definitely will repurchase this, and now it's available from Priceline which makes it super accessible to Australians. 

Alpha Keri Intensive Ointment

I use this on my eczema, and will continue to repurchase this product.

Schwarzkopf Taft Flexible Hairspray 

I actually did like this hairspray, but I don't really have a preference with hairspray. This one was quite flexible, did not leave my hair stiff. 

Daiso Detergent for Puff and Sponge 

This is amazing at cleaning makeup sponges. It just drags out foundation in no time. I love it, will continue to repurchase. 

Cutex Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover 

I purchased acetone free because I have acrylics on. This works well, and I'll most likely repurchase it in the future. 

Johnson's Moisturising Day Cream

I've mentioned this in empties before, and I will continue to purchase this day cream. For when my skin isn't super dry, this works wonderfully. 

Vaseline Total Moisture Dry Skin 

I love this moisturiser. I use it allover my body. A pack of three of the large bottles were available at Costco, so I stocked up last time I was there. I'd recommend this to anyone with dry skin. 

MAC Fix+

I've been through at least 3 bottles of Fix+ now. I love this stuff, and will continue to repurchase it. 

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Colour Deep Treatment

This was a sample packet I purchased in England. I liked this, but it isn't my favourite deep treatment. When I go back to England, I will be stocking up on this stuff though as it is good value for money.

Johnson's Baby Conditioning Shampoo

This is my go to brush cleanser. It leaves my brushes soft and cleanses well. Will continue to repurchase. 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in 10 Fair Clair 

I thought I'd never use this under eye concealer up, but I got there! I did enjoy this, but at the moment I am loving the Rimmel Match Perfection more. This is a good under eye concealer, and I recommend it!

Revlon Colorstay for Normal/Dry Skin in 150 Buff

I loved this foundation, but the bottle always leaked! I'm happy they have changed the packaging to include a pump, and I've already repurchased this foundation. 

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC15

I was so happy when I finished this foundation up! I love this foundation, and I've repurchased it in NC20. My perfect shade is between the two, however, so I will repurchase NC15 soon. 

Lush Dreamwash Shower Smoothie 

Favourite for eczema. This is like a clay, and I wash my legs (which is where I have eczema) with this stuff when it flares up. Works to calm it down, will always repurchase. 

Nivea Pure & Natural Regenerating Night Cream

This isn't my favourite night cream, but it was quite moisturising. I'd recommend this to anyone who doesn't need a super hydrating night cream for an affordable price. 

Clinique Moisture Surge 

This was a good moisturiser, quite hydrating. This is on my list of potential hydrating day creams.

Lush Breath of Fresh Air Toner Water 

I decided to try out the Lush toners. This was the first one I have used up, and I also am trying Eau Roma Water. I loved the scent of this, it didn't dry my skin out and I think is perfect for us dry skinned people. I think I will have a comparison post later on once I have tested them all out. 

Johnson's Daily Essentials Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes (x5)

I bought a bulk of these from Costco, and while I used them up I find them too harsh on my dry skin. 

BeautyCareCo Makeup Remover Pads

These always feature in my empties. Can't say much about them, they do the job! 

NYC Glamour Lashes

I picked these up when I was in England, I mentioned the first pair in my last empties post. These were okay, nothing super special. 

Eylure Katy Perry Lashes in Oh, My!

These lashes are full on, and I love them! I wore them to a friends 21st, and I loved the look! I adore these lashes, and definitely will be repurchasing a pair for New Years Eve!  

ModelCo Flutter False Lashes in Flamboyant 

These were also another pair of full on lashes, and I wore them to another 21st. I loved these lashes too, and when I bought them they were only around $9, which I think is quite reasonable. 

Manicare Glameyes Taylor Lashes

I don't really remember these lashes, so I can't really comment. The past two months have really been about lashes. 

Daiso Lashes

For $2.80, you really can't go wrong. Every time I go into Daiso, I pick up at least 2 pairs of lashes to add to my drawer.
