Late upload but, better late then never? Through January and February I went through the phase of compulsive buying. I need to stop. But some of these products are actually some of my favourites right now!
Red. A classic colour and a must have in every girls nail polish collection. So many shades but when applied they look different on depending on your skin tone. I may or may not have found one of my holy grail red nail polishes.
Australis has got to be the greatest Australian cosmetic brand. Their nail polishes are extremely cheap!(under $5AUS) The colour pay off is good and will last about a week before chipping(without a top coat).
Sally Hansen Triple Shine - I don't know if I got a bad product or not but its horrible! When applied its so clumpy. I tired to apply it in thinner layers but nothing seems to help, unfortunately. Definitely a product I'd definitely give a miss now!
Revlon's new Spider Man collection. Looks beautiful in the bottle. Probably won't ever use it though, so I'll probably give it away.
HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT HERE!!!!! Revlon Colorbrust Matte Balm (I also have a unhealthy obsession with matte lip products) I wear this everyday and to work. I pick it up and use it without a second thought! When applied it dries to a nice finish that doesn't give the appearance of dry chapped lips- which some matte lip products give off.
Covergirl jumbo gloss balm, isn't one of the greatest products i've used. Its very sheer and I'm not really a fan of the colour in general. I tend to use it as a tint like product. I apply a small amount in the middle of my lips to create a gradient effect (Korean makeup look inspired).
Face of Australia Macaron Sheer Glass lip crayon. Taste horrible. I use it for an all over lip colour. I don't hate or love it.

PEOPLE IN BRISBANE AUSTRALIA! You can find a pack of 4 EOS lip balms in Costco, Northlakes for around $13~$14. I've been asked this multiple times where is the cheapest place to buy EOS and its for sure Costco! It works our to be only like $3~$4 a lip balm. (Thanks Quyen for buying this for me!)

I've never seen this product by Cover girl before so I decide to give it a try. Works nice as a base colour! The consistency is similar to a cream eyeshadow.
About time I brought a new foundation! I don't really buy foundations because they don't seem to go well with my skin type. They always seem to end up caking my face no matter if I use a primer or by how I apply it (brush, fingers, sponge).
The L'Oreal True Match foundation is one that is highly raved about. I tried it out and I can see why! The coverage is pretty good although the colour shade in Australia is horrible.
Maybelline Fit Me foundation stick in shade 330.
Although this is a foundation stick, I actually use this as a bronzing or contouring stick (recommendation from Anna). I use this before I put on foundation to make it a lit more natural. If I'm taking photos that night, that over my foundation i'll layer a powder bronzer over it. It sounds like a lot, but it's not! I swear.
Well thats all for my January/February haul. Come back near the end or march or the start of April for my March Haul (If I have one )!
