Real Techniques review

Hey chickens,
Today I am going to be reviewing the Real Techniques brushes. I actually only have two of their brushes so I'll be basing my opinions just on them but I do want to try more brushes from them. Anyway, enough rambling, lets get started.

The two brushes I own from them are the blush brush and the foundation brush. This goes for both of the brushes but when you wash them they still hold their shape once they're dry. I like the size of the handles for both of them and I know it sounds stupid but sometimes make-up brushes are too big and I find that these ones are just the right size.
The colour pay-off that you get on these brushes are quite good. The foundation brush is not good for blending in your foundation but if you want to spread it out all over your face, it works well for that. The blush brush has pretty good colour pay-off but it could be better in my opinion. I feel like more of the blush stays on the brush than going on my face.
The quality of these brushes are good. I have had these brushes since December last year and they aren't shedding or anything and have keep their shape after been washed 2 or 3 times.
The blush brush is quite soft, it does feel nice on the face and isn't scratchy. The foundation brush isn't really soft because the brush is meant to be hard but it does also feel nice on the face and again doesn't have a scratchy feel on the face.

Overall I think these brushes are quite nice. They are not my favourite brand for make-up brushes and honestly I don't love them as much as other people do. They are fairly expensive brushes and I do think that they price mostly matches the quality but I also think Elf's brushes are just as good and they are like $3 dollars. I do want to try more of their brushes and when I get some more I'll do an updated review. I do like their brushes though, don't get me wrong about that I do like the brushes and they blend your product really nicely.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you so much for reading this blogpost, it means a lot to me and all of your support is just fantastic. I do hope that you enjoyed this post, maybe you have some Real Techniques brushes and if you do comment down below your opinion on them. I love you all to Jupiter and back but until next time, bye

Moomba 2017

Hey chickens,
So yesterday I went to Moomba. Now, if you don't know what Moomba is, it is a big festival in Melbourne that happens every Labour day weekend, along the Yarra river and its free and it has rides and games; it's kinda like the Melbourne Show. I had such a nice day yesterday and I thought I would take some pictures and put them in a blogpost for you so I could share my day.

I walked around Moomba for a bit and just had a look to see what they had so I didn't take any pictures but then I sat under this big tree that gave a lot of shade (if you were in Melbourne yesterday, you would know that it was quite hot) and I took some pictures for myself because I like photography and I also took some random pictures of my legs and feet because why not. I also found this weird green thing and I have no idea what it is, I'll have a picture down below but if you know what it is please comment.

                                                                                   


 Then I got these two little samples of these apple juices which I saw everyone with them but omg. These juices were so nice, I absolutely loved them, I actually got a full sized of the pink juice later on and it was really expensive (in my opinion) but I thought it was worth it. I didn't actually have a Bickfords old style creamy soda yesterday, but hands down, they are actually like my favourite drink ever.




Then I walked around for a bit more, and I of course got some shots of the Ferris wheel. I went on the
Dodgems (or Crazy cars as they called them), the rock n roll which is one of my favourite rides, the sky flyer and the ghost train that they had and honestly, it was not nice on my heart. I was also going to go on the Crazy coaster but it was closed. I also had a go on the clowns, and I'm so bad at those games but I can't help myself and I got a rubric cube as my prize and my god, I have been trying to get this combination basically since I got it. 
Then I went for a walk along the Yarra to find something for lunch and if you live in Melbourne you might know about this place, I only just discovered it today but it's called Southgate and it was heaps of little foods shops in there. While I was walking along the Yarra I saw someone dressed up playing on instrument so I thought you guys might be interested. 
After spending some more time at Moomba, I went over to Flinders street station and I had to go get some lollies from the Sugar Station. If you do not know what the Sugar Station is or have not been there before, I highly suggest you do because they have really nice tasting lollies but they are kinda expensive depending on how many you get. 
 Coming close to the end of the night, I treated myself and got some cheesy nuggets from Red Roaster and a coke spider from Maccas. This is honestly they best combo, I love both of them quite a lot and haven't had either of them in a while.

If you were wondering, no I did not go to Moomba by myself. I went with my mum and had such a lovely day. I'm not trying to show off, I honestly just wanted to share my day with you guys.
Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you so much for reading this post, it means so much to me and all of your support means the world to me and so do you. Hopefully you enjoyed this post, I hope that you are having a nice labour day weekend if you live in Australia and if you are/did go to Moomba, I hope you have/had a nice time. I love you all to Saturn and back but until next time, bye

Makeup- My first reaction

Hey chickens,
Now the title of this blogpost will probably make no sense to you but I didn't really know how else to put it. So basically what I was trying to put in the title is that I'm going to take makeup (High end or low end) that I don't own and give my first impressions on it. I will take reviews out of that I've seen and just what my opinion is on them without trying them. Also, because I don't know to much about copyright, I'm not going to be putting pictures of the products in but I will leave some links for the products.

Too Faced Sweet Peach eye-shadow palette-
This palette looks so pretty. It has some really nice peachy colours, bronzes and neutral colours. I feel like this palette would be good for all year round and that it's a palette that has different types of colours so you could get so much use out of it for different looks. From what the description is on Mecca, it has some matte shades and some shimmer shades. I don't know how strong the peach scent of it is, but I reckon the scent wouldn't be that strong. The packaging of this palette is so cute, it's like ombre orange and it has little pictures of peaches on it.

Urban Decay Vice lipstick
I think that there are 100 of these lipstick so for the purpose of the blogpost I've chosen a couple of colours to focus on just so its a bit easier than giving my impression on 100 lipsticks. The first lipstick that I think is really pretty is in the shade 'Criminal'. This lipstick is meant to be matte and actually its called a comfortable matte which I do have some matte lipsticks in my collection and they are quite drying and don't feel very well comfortable so I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that these matte lipsticks are comfortable. The colour of Criminal looks like a dusty rose. The second shade is 'Disobedient'. This shade is very similar to Criminal but Disobedient looks a few shades darker. This lipstick has a cream finish and honestly, I don't know what a cream finish is but I imagine that its quite and quite moisturising. both lipsticks look like they have great pigmentation from the swatches I've seen and the packaging is very sophisticated.

Australis Show some cheek blush-
I have seen this blushes in shop and done some swatches on my hand so I have a bit more information that is a fact. I personally prefer the colours 'Dreamy' and 'Cameo'. Dreamy is more of a coral pink and its just a really pretty blush colour. When I swatch it, it was a peachy, coral pink and honestly I thought it was very pretty. Cameo is the complete opposite. It is more pink and the swatch I got of it was more of like a mauve. All the colours look like very natural blush colours except for the colour 'Sinful'. It's looks like a fairly dark pink and I am quite pale so dark blush, contour and highlight colours don't look the best on my skin.
