Haul post: From Australia with Love ♥

Erk! I really have to start posting more often! I wish I could. >.< Just a little while more, my pretties! I promise I'll be back to *more* regular posting! And don't worry guys, I'll be choosing a winner for the giveaway soon! Just give me some time. ^-^

Yesterday was a good day for me, among the piles of illustrations to be done, there was a ray of hope! Three great things happened yesterday:

  1. The circle lenses I ordered arrived in less than a week that too! Woohoo!
  2. I won Vanity No Apologies' eye makeup contest with this entry! *happy dance*
  3. And my aunt sent me over some awesome, AWESOME makeup stuff all the way from the land down under! 
I'll be showing you the lenses in another post, this post is going to be completely about the makeup I got from my maushi (Marathi for aunt. ^u^)

Heehee, I couldn't help myself!
I had asked her specifically for drugstore makeup, I wanted to see the different things you get there compared to here. :)
So here's what I got:

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipsticks: Coral Crush and Pinkalicious

Pinkalicious on left, Coral Crush on right
 Pinkalicious is a red-pink with shimmer, great for special occassions! I have zero number of shimmery lipsticks so i was happy to see this! :D
Coral Crush is a colour I have been eyeing for almost a year now! I kept waiting hoping they would release it in India but they never did. -__- so I asked my maushi to send it to me if it was available there. :)
It's a pretty pinky coral colour, no shimmer whatsoever.

These lipsticks were sealed like this. How come the ones here are not? :(


Garnier BB cream

Garnier BB cream in Light "02"

The Garnier BB cream was something that I wanted to try for a while too, espacially after trying the one by Maybelline, I was quite eager to try this! I looked up swatches and the Medium shade seemed very dark so I asked for Light, luckily this shade blends into my skin just right!

So those were the three things I had asked for buuuut.. My aunt went beyond the list and sent over a bunch of other goodies too! ♥

Maybelline XXL Pro Extensions Mascara
 I love Maybelline mascaras! This is one of those duo ones that make your lashes look crazy huge! Only drawback is that it isn't waterproof so I can't use it in the rain now. :<

Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow quad "Coffee Bean"
 I have seen this eyeshadow quad before but not in this colour. Can't wait to try it. :) Looks like a less shimmery version of Chai Latte by Maybelline.

KATE Gradical Eyes in Golden

 Ooooh! I'm so excited about this quad! It has shimmery shades of gold and even an eyebase! I've been wanting to try Asian cosmetic for a long time so I'm happy I get to try something from Kanebo, which is well known Japanese brand! :D

The brush that comes with it is actually amazing! It has a sponge on the other end.

Le gradient

Maybelline eyestudio mono eyeshadow "Iced fudge"
I'm never going to have to buy neutral colours for a long long time! :D

Now for the grand finale!
NAILPOLISH! :D She got me TEN Ulta3 polishes! *happy tears* They're so pretty!
Ulta3 is a great drugstore brand down there btw..

Frosty: Freesia and Tropez

Reds: Scarlet ♥ and Pepper Pot

Summer colours: Tahitian Lime and Tahiti (my instant faves!)

Purples/ Pinks and Blue: Mulberry, Purple Passion, Hot Spring and Hollywood
 Look at what happened to my Hot Spring shade though! ;A;
The case of the missing nail polish brush, it's actually missing! LOL!
Sucks! It was such a pretty colour too! X( 


That was my "From Australia with Love" haul! :D I can't wait to try out everything! I think I'll try the polishes first. :D


Have you been pining for a makeup product because it wasn't available in your country? Tell me what it was and if you managed to finally get it! :D
See you soon! ♥
