Gemma Vendetta Cosmetics Lipstick in De Havilland

It's no surprise that I love indie products, but I get even more excited when it's an Australian owned indie brand. Enter Gemma Vendetta Cosmetics. I had not even been aware of this brand until I was so fortunate that a lovely friend tagged me on an Instagram giveaway that she won, which meant I did, too! We were able to choose a lipstick of choice.

 More about the vegan, cruelty-free brand can be found here.


 The lipstick I chose is De Havilland. Described as a must-have vintage red. I must say that I have to agree. Any red lipstick lovers would adore this shade.

These lipsticks have a semi-matte finish. This one is very pigmented. I find that although it is a matte, the lipstick is creamy enough to make application easy.

What I love about these matte lipsticks are just how comfortable they are. It does not dry out my lips and although there is some transfer, it is very long lasting.

De Havilland has quickly become my favourite bullet lipstick, amazing formula, stunning shade and I'm in love!


Do you like a bold lip, or prefer natural shades?

    I'm a bold lip gal through & through, although I prefer wearing a more natural pinky shade during the day. When you have skin that's as pale as mine is, you can't get away with wearing cadaver nude-type shades sadly.

      Bold lips really suit you, Shell! I often go through shade phases.

Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil

Image
I bought this Simple Hydrating Cleansing oil, actually 3 of them during a sale that Chemist Warehouse was having some time ago. Now I had been content using a mix of coconut and olive oil as a makeup remover, but I'd read such good things about this cleansing oil and I really wanted to try it for myself. Of course a 50% off sale at Chemist Warehouse at an already affordable price had me quick to order. Taken from Simple Skincare - "...our rinse off cleansing oil is made with 100%  pure grapeseed oil, which is light in texture and infused with skin loving ingredients such as vitamins A and E that leaves all skin types thoroughly cleansed, instantly hydrated and soft." The cleansing oil comes in a 125 ml plastic bottle with flip-top lid dispenser. I love the green theme on the packaging. The oil has a fresh slightly herbal scent. Being mostly grapeseed oil, this product is an oil of thin consistency. To apply, I simply massage a small amount into my skin, addi

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
