TAG: How much does your face cost? $$$

Heya!

So I have seen this tag and always enjoy reading them and even though this was going around a while ago I decided that I still wanted to do it and just see how much I am putting onto my face everyday. So here it is and enjoy!

First I apply my moisturiser which at the moment is L'oreal Triple Active Day cream for dry and sensitive skin as all my travelling has made my skin really parched, I can honestly say this cream has helped my skin recover a little as I had really dry, red patches along the sides of my nose and forehead and this has managed to calm it down, although i feel that my skin still needs something. I am nearly out of this so if anyone has dry sensitive skin and has found the moisturiser that has worked for them please let me know! This was purchased overseas and will see if it is available here in Australia.
Cost $8.

Next I apply my Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Protective Base SPF 15, which if you have been reading my blog form the very beginning you will know that this has been one of my go to products.

Cost $35.

Then I apply my Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturiser in fair to light. I will be reviewing this one for you guys so I wont go into too much detail.

Cost $14.

To get my eyes done I use Maybellines Colour Tattoo ($10) in On and On Bronze, lightly on the lids, and Maybellines Volume Express falsies flared mascara ($16) followed by lining my waterline with Maybellines Colossal Kajal ($8) eyeliner in Bllack/Noir.

Cost $34.

Under eye concealer for everyday use I use the Garnier Anti-Dark Circle Roll on in Light. 

Cost $11.

I like to add some colour to my face with Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer.

Cost $20

Finally a wash of colour on my lips using Maybellines Color Whisper lip colour in Lust For Blush. 

Cost $12.

That is a total of $134. WOW that's just for daily use, I think i will just keep this to myself and not tell my husband. ;) Now for a group shot.

Hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did, now tell me how much does your face cost?

My Excuse to buy more make up? 40% off at Priceline!!

Hey Girls,

So as I mentioned in my last post in Australia one of our beauty stores Priceline had a two day offer with 40% off all beauty products!! This is an excuse for any make up addict as myself to take advantage of such a great offer. I feel just like a little girl in a candy store with soo much to chose from and all at 40% off!! So I managed to pick up a few things that I had been eyeing and did not go overboard. Here is what I got and will be trying out to bring you guys my thoughts.

Until next time,

My Summer Travelling Essentials!

Hey Girls!

Hope your all doing great! Todays post is about my summer travelling essentials. These products I have been using a lot over the past couple of months and I find that they have worked for me! So here they are!

1- Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream:

This is my one stop shop for all my daily facial needs! In one step I moisturise, apply sunscreen and foundation. For my review click here.

2- Dior Amber Diamonds Face Powder:

I LOVE using this as my highlighter during the day and night as it gives me just the right amount of natural glow without the glitter! Check out my review here.

3- Bourjois Bronzing Powder:

I carry this with me but I use a little amount only to contour my face. It is just the right shade and isn't shiny on the face and stays put.

4- Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Pencil (in 071 Pure White):

Perfect for the wide doll eye effect especially when your travelling.

5- Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze and Eternal Gold:

These cream eye shadows are my most treasures items. Perfect for travelling or anyone on the go! Using my fingers I give a quick sweep of the shade I'm in the mood for and and I am done! Lasts all day long without creasing!

6- Maybelline Colour Sensation Lipstick in 190 Atomic Pink:

I really love this shade especially now in Summer as it is feminine and fun great for the summer nights out.

7- Lancome Lip Gloss in shade 321:
When I'm not rocking lipstick I love using lip gloss and this one I have been reaching for a lot lately. Keeps my lips soft, glossy and just a hint of colour. I also love the applicator really soft!

8- Clinique High Impact Mascara 01 Black:

This mascara really works well for my lashes a few coats and my lashes look thick and luscious without feeling heavy or brittle.

So these are my summer travel essentials that I have been reaching for constantly as I have been travelling- what are your travel essentials?

Stay tuned as I have another giveaway coming up really soon!

Have a great day!

Its CLINIQUE gift time :)

Helloo girls! I have promised for a while now many reviews and unfortunately I ended up getting sick which set me back for a whole month but thankfully I am getting back on track and I am feeling much better, so that's when I got to starting on these reviews. So a month ago, Clinique at my local AREEJ store was having a gift with purchase and so I thought I might as well stock up on my FAV primer from Clinique. My complexion is quite fair but I am very sensitive and get red faced very quickly especially if its hot and in the climate here in Dubai, Cliniques Redness Solutions daily protective base with SPF 15 is God send. It applies smoothly, blends beautifully and absorbs into the skin without having yourself looking like a green Grinch. As its a primer it works great under your favourite foundation but this beauty works great even when applied over moisturiser, I have a lot of people compliment my skin. So anyway as they were having a gift with purchase I picked one tube up along with the Lip Chubby Stick in Whopin' Watermelon. I first seen this in Pixiwoo tutorial and I had to have it- natural everyday light lip gloss- so this was a great deal. So for these two items I got the Gift Pack.

Included in the Gift Pack:
- Clinique Cosmetic Bag (which I personally find super cute).
- Colour surge quad Eyeshadow palette (It has a single shade from strawberry fudge duo, single shade from pink chocolate quad, chocolate chip ans stone violet they are nicely pigmented but stone violet feels a tad chalky).
- Clinique High Impact in 01 Black Mascara Sample size (This is a great mascara, the brush is great formula fantastic leaving you with natural feeling lashes just more dramatic and I love it).
- Clinique All About Eyes cream (this is a super cool light weight cream for under eyes but i don't know if i see any improvements but it does have a nice feel).
-Clinique Rinse off Foam Cleanser Sample size (Generous size and great cleanser I have used it to remove my make up also and I feel my face feels clean without feeling tight).
- Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie in Strawberry bliss (I love love LOVEEEEE this its great nice tint of colour, not sticky and my lips feel super moisturised with the tiniest amount).

All in all, I love Clinique products I feel they are great quality and not that expensive and when they have these gift with purchase they really have a good range of products and they are not tiny samples.

Hope you enjoyed this, how do you guys feel about Clinique products? What is your favourite product?
