Gifts from Mum

My mum recently went to Singapore and Hong Kong and bought me some gifts.

I wanted to share the fact that I love Hello Kitty and no matter how old I get, I will always continue to collect all the different Hello Kitty products!

Here is what I received:

And because I am a Marilyn fan:

There was more but they didn't photo well :)

But I also received all this make-up upon request and I will review these soon!

Hello Kitty - Majorelle Eyeshadow

I went into Priceline as I normally do every week to see what is on special.

What I found was that I got a free cosmetics bag if I purchased ANY Hello Kitty product. Awesome I thought!

So I purchased a compact mirror and an eyeshadow named Marjorelle. Please note these items can only be found in Priceline.

The eyeshadow is a deep blue glitter with a charcoal undertone. Here is a lame attempt at a picture of the eyeshadow:

I tried real hard to get the lighting right for this picture. The eyeshadow looks more charcoal grey in this picture. I can definitely say that when you put this on, it is a charcoal blue with glitter scattered across. No snapshot really captured the colour I found, so really sorry about that!

In the Hello Kitty range, they do mono as well as duo eyeshadows. The eyeshadow cost $9.95 and the compact mirror on my original picture cost $10. I believe other colours in the eyeshadow was light blue, purples, greens and pink.

I am really into deep blue at the moment and pairing it with hot pink, so this is why I bought this particular eyeshadow - to match with Hot Pink lipstick.

Always check out your local Priceline as you never know what freebie or bargain you can find :D

LiLi out!

Hello Kitty Magnetic Gloss - Girly Lip

I've been wanting to post this for some time but it got lost in the never ending ideas for my blog.

I bring to you Hello Kitty Magnetic Gloss in Girly Lip.

It is a fuchsia, shimmery lipgloss that is bold and strong in colour. Upon wearing this, I found that it did not fade nor did it feel heavy or oily. I like how this colour stands out as its quite bright but fun enough to wear during day time as well as night.

As you may or may not know, I like wearing all sorts of pink lipglosses and lipsticks. I like the Hello Kitty range which according to Beauty Heaven, is only available in Priceline in Australia! This costs $13.95 from Priceline. Sorry international peeps, the only other site I found that sold Hello Kitty make-up is Sephora.

I believe it is called magnetic gloss because of how strong the glittery parts of the gloss stand out without drawing away from the colour. For me, it really shines as the picture depicts. Shiny gloss makes your lips look amazing! I captured the lipgloss in natural light because I feel those pictures never lie.

Here is another pic I took in natural light as the other pic was taken in my car LoL

I feel that both pictures do really show the tints of the lipgloss and both pics are correct in the shade. On one hand it can be really Glittery and holochrome but on the other hand it is fuchsia and bright pink. It really depends at what angle you look at and how the gloss will shine towards you.

I like sparkly things as much as the next girl and pretty much wear this lipgloss whenever I feel like it. I think with any girl, if you find some form of make-up that you enjoy wearing then it can really make your day because you'll feel happy.

Don't under estimate the power of make-up.

Outfit of the Month - May

So I wanted to follow up from this post about my overall outfit I wore to a 21st birthday recently.

I bought my Hello Kitty lipstick with my post about it here and wanted to make it work with a deep blue dress. So here are all the items I bought shown separately:

I bought the dress from Ally Fashion for AU $39.99. I loved it as soon as I saw it! It is a velvet dress with blue glitter dots all over the dress. It's polka dots meets velvet! When I bought the hello kitty lipstick I just knew I wanted to wear it with this dress! So, with that in mind I needed hot pink shoes for the whole outfit to come together.

So here is a picture of the whole outfit - excuse the picture as I cut out my friend and never got a picture taken of myself. Didn't want to include my friend just in case. Also, I may look short because I crouched down to take the picture as I was so tall in those heels:

I accessorized with silver Jewellery. I wore a diamonte choker necklace which I believe cost around $40 from Diva - I bought it a few years ago so I really don't remember. My earrings are from Lovisa and were on sale for $5. I kept my eye make-up simple with just black eye liner and mascara. My foundation was Bourjois Flower perfection blogged here and I used an Avon loose powder. I would let you know how much my clutch was but I can't because it was a gift. I would say you can find clutches for approx. $40. Here is a close up of my make-up and accessories:

So overall, this outfit costs $85 for the shoes, $40 for the dress, $45 for accessories, $40 for the clutch = approx. $210 in total. You can probably do it for less if you get the accessories and clutch on sale.

I received many great compliments on the night and loved the outfit overall! It was great mixing deep blue with hot pink. It worked out so well!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Kitty Shine and Kiss - Pink Floyd

So, I bought this lipstick because it was a bright hot pink and would look good with some bold make-up. I also bought it because it was Hello Kitty brand. Upon wearing it I found it to be very moisturizing on the lips and did not crack when wearing it.

It holds it's color and texture and every time you butt your lips, it maintains it's moisturizing feel.

Here is a pic I took in the bathroom. The lighting is warm and it didn't show the full brightness of the lipstick I found.

I used Instagram to blur everything out but my lips - this is because I have bad skin at the moment. You can see in this pic that the colour isn't as bold as it appears. It almost looks like a sweet light pink lipstick but it is far from it. I, then proceeded to my bedroom that had brighter lighting.

Can you see the difference? This brighter lighting is the true colour of this lipstick. It has a slight purple tinge to the hot pink colouring. I am going to wear this lipstick to a birthday party this weekend and keep the eyes simple because the lipstick is the main display. I feel that if I overdo the eyes, then it will make my whole face look over the top and we wouldn't want that now do we?

I bought this from Priceline for $12.95. I haven't seen this in any other retail stores at this stage. I am having difficulty finding this sold worldwide. I know that MAC came out with their Hello Kitty range which may be discontinued as Sephora have the collection now. You can still buy Hello Kitty MAC products on EBay as far as I can tell. There is no confirmation online that MAC is still producing the make-up.

I can't wait to show you my outfit this weekend and display my make-up for you. I do really love this lipstick and it's great to wear with candy colored outfits also :D Good for an 80s outfit also ;)

Will keep you updated...
