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.

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. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
