Maybelline, Revlon & Rimmel Haul 50% off at Chemist Warehouse ♡

So today I took advantage of the 50% off cosmetic sale at the Chemist Warehouse. 

Overall, I spent about $60 and I saved about $60. Love good sales! 

Revlon Colourstay Foundation in Sand Beige
So I'm pretty late jumping on this bandwagon! I'm not a big fan of changing up my foundation. I have been using Napoleon Perdis for years now and it seems to work for me. But I wanted to take the chance and finally purchase the infamous Colourstay foundation. I had a hard time picking the colour that would suit me. So fingers crossed I chose the right one!  

Maybelline Concealer in Light

I tend to stick to one concealer, which is my Revlon concealer. However, I feel like I need a better one. I have heard so many good reviews about this little one so I thought I'd purchase it. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Silky Beige
Most of these products are influenced by many beauty gurus. This one especially!  I originally wanted this powder in Peach Glow or Translucent. Silky Beige was the only choice left but seems like a nice matching colour to my skin tone.
 I hit pan on my Napoleon pressed powder. 
And since this Rimmel powder is a favourite to many, I thought I'll spend the 6 bucks instead of $60 for my Napoleon powder.

Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara

This mascara only recently came out. I don't need a new mascara but I just had to get this one. Maybelline mascaras are one of my favourites.

Rimmel Lasting Finish Nail Polish in 503

This is such a pretty colour. Love it. 

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in 32, 12 & 106

Love the Kate collection. Couldn't go past these colours!

Beautiful You Exhibition 2014 ♡

Last weekend I had a chance to go to the Beautiful You exhibition at the Royal Exhibition Building Melbourne. 

http://www.beautifulyouaustralia.com.au/

I have been looking forward to this expo for a quite a few months now. 

It was a great experience as I learnt a lot about the industry and interesting makeup techniques. The expo reminded me a lot of the famous IMATS convention that the beauty gurus on Youtube always talk about. Devastated that I won't be able to go to IMATS this year as it is in Sydney. Hopefully I can travel to Sydney next year to attend IMATS. I think it would be an amazing experience to meet many makeup artist, Youtube gurus and of course purchase cheap makeup. It's on my to do list! 

Anyways, back to the Beautiful You expo! 

I attended the expo with my friend Chantelle. Check out her blog for a great insight into Mindfulness http://chantelleheldt.com/

We received a great amount of free samples.

I was very excited to receive free Klara Cosmetics lipsticks and free wotnot wipes. We also received a free skin consultation appointment at the Victorian Cosmetics Institute.

The talented celebrity makeup artist Rae Morris on the main stage. 

I own many of her books so it was very excited to see a makeup artist that I follow and love in person. 

Here are a few items that I purchased. 

Looking forward to next years expo!
