SPOTLIGHT: October Empties!...

As you can see I didn't have a very fruitful "finishing up" October, but I'm giving myself bonus points for getting to the bottom of another bottle of perfume lol! It's not a common occurrence as I have a tendency to not want them to end so I'm frugal with my spritzing, and then when I get to the last spray I'm often torn as to whether to buy a replacement, or try something new. Sigh...first world beauty problems. There's also a couple of repeaters here, but you know me, if I love it, then I want to talk about it over and over again ♥...

Australis Ready Set Go Finishing Powder (RRP $13.95)

I've tried a few of these made by other companies, but I keep coming back to Australis. Initially I had a problem with the old tell-tale white powder bits when using a flash, but I've become more proficient with my application technique, so I rarely have issues any more. The others (NYX, BOE Beauty, Mirenesse) weren't any better or worse, so I figure why change now when I've been using this for YEARS, plus it's a great price, and readily available ♥...

Repurchase?
Two spares on hand at any one time lol...

Clairol Nice'N Easy-Natural Light Golden Brown  (RRP $12.99)

So happy to have found this particular shade at Chemist Warehouse - it's exactly the colour I want my hair to be underneath the blond bits on the top. One shade lighter doesn't have enough intensity, and the next one up is too deep ♥...

Repurchase?
Three boxes in the cupboard, and I bought the root touch up kit to try as well...

Skin Doctors Eyetuck (15ml, RRP $49.95) 

This is the only product I've come across that noticeably shrinks under eye bags. I first used it more than 7 years ago - my bags were less than half the size they are now, and I could see something happening in just a few weeks, and the shrinking continued to a point within 2 months. After that there was no change, but what did happen was a blessed relief. I stopped using it 4 years ago mainly because of the expense, but decided to give it another go as my bags have exploded, probably due to the fact that I don't get nearly enough sleep, but my Dad has them too, so I half blame genetics. They aren't as bulgy as they were, so I'll persist. Also managed to pick up a couple of bottles on special. I reckon if you have only slight bags, this might be all you need  ♥...
Repurchase?
One on the bench, one in the drawer ♥...

RapidLash Eyelash Enhancing Serum (3ml, RRP $65)

Will never stop raving about this product as long as there is breath in my body. Full review HERE. Now in my 6th year of having eye lashes that are visible to the camera as well as the naked eye, and never EVER had a problem with irritation. It won't grow anything that wasn't there before, but whatever lashes you have, it allows them to continue growing to the max before they fall out naturally  ♥...
Repurchase?
Until the day I die - still available at Pharmacy Online for $49.95 ♥...

Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner - Call Me Crazy (RRP $12.50)

Love this range, and I have the whole set - it's the propelling type (yay no need to sharpen!), but with a slanted tip instead of a point. This colour is a beauty - the brightest brightest orangey red, and therefore essential in my kit as I have lots of lipsticks it matches perfectly. Applies evenly, formula is smooth and creamy, and it will almost survive a meal. It dries matte, and lipstick sticks to it really well ♥...
Repurchase?

Certainly have, it's a can't-live-without ♥...

Vera Wang Be Jeweled EDP (75ml RRP $74.95)
Full review HERE. Love this fragrance to bits, perfect spring/summer scent, fresh and floral, but it doesn't last more than an hour or so, which is odd given it's an EDP. Picked it up at a pharmacy for just under half price so I'm not complaining. Stunning bottle with jewels around the neck - they're on elastic so I've taken them off and will do something with them, not sure what though ♥...

Repurchase?
Not at this stage, but I've bought the Rouge variety to try ♥...

Till next month then lovelies!

Take care of you,
