10 Beauty Products Wishlist

Hello everyone,
Long time no post. I know it has been a while since I last put up a post but I'm back. So today's post is a little different I am going to be making a wishlist of 10 beauty products that i would love to own. So lets get started.

1: Milani illuminating face powder. These powders are so gorgeous and the colours they have look amazing so I would love to own one of them.

2: NYX powder blush. They have such an amazing colour selection and all of the colours look amazing it would be so hard for me to pick just one colour but i definitely gravitate towards the colour peach.

3: Sleek face contour kit. This kit has been raved about in the blogging community and on YouTube so that has made me definitely want to try it.

4: NYX rouge cream blush. This is another product that has been raved about and the colours look amazing but I would love to own these but the colour I would love the most would be natural.

5: Urban Decay naked 1&2 palette. OMG these palettes are like perfection and I just want to own them. Although Chi Chi does a pretty good dupe for them I would love to have the Urban Decay palettes.

6: Rimmel match perfection foundation. My cousin has got the concealer and I was about to buy the foundation but at the last minute I decided not to get it but now I kind of wished I had gotten it.

7: Revlon lip butters. I know I really should own them but because I live in Australia the cheapest I can bet them for is $17. They have such a great colour range and I have only heard good reviews about them.

8: NARS blush. I adore all the NARS blush colours but the price puts me off buying them but hopefully one day I will bring myself to buy them.

9: Benefit boxed powders. Come on who wouldn't want to own the boxed powders they are so hyped up I would love to try them and see why everyone loves them.

10: Maybelline Illegal Length mascara. I have seen so many people who use this mascara and their lashes look amazing but every time I go to buy it there is never any left.

Have a great day.

P.S These are all my personal opinions and I cannot get most of these products where I live.

Nivea Lip Butter

Hello everyone

Fist off I just want to start by apologising it has been almost a week since I last made a post.  However I have been travelling so I will definitely have some new products to review.

I love Nivea. It has always been a favourite brand of mine and I will continue to purchase their products. My most recent purchase was the lip butter in caramel cream. I love this product so much and it smells so amazing.

The lip butter is so moisturising and (I know this sounds cheesy) but it feels buttery. I  always apply some of this to my lips before I go to sleep (which is what i should be doing now) because it leaves my lips so hydrated. I have had this product for a while now and it still has a lot left so I am really happy about that.

When I bought this product i only had three to choose from either caramel cream, vanilla and macadamia or unscented. I was actually looking for the raspberry one but that one isn't available in Australia or at least in my stores. I paid $5 for this product and i am so happy that I decided to purchase it. It is great value for money and I recommend it to everyone.

Have a great day.

Chi Chi Real Minerals Foundation

Hello everyone
Today's post is going to be about the Chi Chi real minerals foundation. I love this product it is just so amazing. Chi Chi definitely did a good job on this.

Let me start by saying that I was not a very big fan of loose powders until I got this product. I always found loose powders difficult to travel with and since I am still in school it was hard to keep them in my bag for touch up or for camps. Now after I got this product I have been loving loose powders as they are easier to use and you don't loose as much when you tap off the excess.

I got this foundation in the shade fair which is the lightest shade bu I am so pale that it is now a shade too dark for me. My excuse for that though is that it is winter and I brought this product in summer. This foundation is oil, talc, fragrance, preservative, paraben, kaolin and bismuth free. This is amazing as my skin is very sensitive and a lot of products seem to upset my skin.It also contains aloe vera extract which is amazing for the skin (even helps hydrate the skin) and i soothing for sunburns which makes it perfect for summer.

The product applies very easily and evenly to my face and it doesn't cake up. It has a light to medium coverage but it is definitely buildable for those days you want a bit of extra coverage. Whenever I wore this foundation I would receive compliments on how good my skin looked.

This foundation also comes with a kabuki brush which is amazing. The brush is so soft and easy to work with. It is also a good size to toss into your handbag if you are on the go. This foundation is available online in four different shades and I know that it is sold in Target however I am not sure where else.

Have a great day.

Model co Eye Shadow Duo

Hello everyone
Today I am going to be reviewing the Sally Fitzgibbons and Model co eye shadow duo in smokey eye. This is a great product that I love to keep with me almost everywhere I go. If you went through my bag I am sure that you would find it. It comes with a mirror in as well so it is perfect for touch ups.I personally cannot pull off a smokey eye very well and I cannot do one very well.

The two colours are amazing and so pigmented. Although my only gripe about it is the black eye shadow takes a bit to come off. The colours in this duo are Mykonos and Shanghai. Although it does not tell you which one is which. The eye shadows are so soft and definitely worth buying. The colours in this duo are really shimmery but I don't mind although sometimes I do wish that they were matte.



The pinky oyster colour shadow is perfect for all over the lid or highlighting. As you can probably tell by the photos I use the lighter colour more often. I love using that colour for highlighting even if I am not wearing eye shadow I will still put some on the brow bone and inner corner.

The black colour is not used as much but I still love it. I prefer to use it rather that eyeliner as it is more forgiving if I make a mistake. It is also better at giving a smokier look than eyeliner.


This duo was a sample (a pretty good sample size to be honest) and on the model co website it comes as a trio with a grey colour. The trio costs $26.00 Australian which is a pretty good price especially for the quality of the product.

Have a great day.

Introduction

Hello everyone
This is going to be my first post on this blog. I know it is not a very exciting post but I think it is needed. My name is Lydia and I love all things fashion and beauty. This blog will basically be about fashion, beauty, my thoughts and occasionally some DIY projects.

I have had a blog before this a couple of years ago but I wasn't happy with it so I have decided to delete it and make a new one. This is how Bronzerandbeauty was made. I don't know how often I will be uploading a post. I hope you all enjoy what I post.

Have a great day.
