Inked In Pink

Hello ladies!

Today I went shopping and picked up a few new makeup items. My two favourites were the NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Nude Pink and the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked In Pink. I was so impressed with these products! Inked In Pink is a gorgeous pink shimmery colour with flecks of gold. I smoked it out a bit with a brown shadow from my MUA Artiste Palette in 'Cookie' in the crease. The Mega Shine Lip Gloss is a bit more sheer than other Mega Shine Glosses I own but I guess that is to be expected with such varying colours and shades in the large range. Definitely more of a daytime colour I think. I took a few photos with and without the flash just so you can get an idea of the colours. What Color Tattoos have you tried? Let me know in the comments other shades I should try!

P.S. Please excuse my brows! They are in desperate need for a trip to a Brow Bar! 

NYX in Australia??

That's right ladies! You didn't read that wrong. NYX Cosmetics have teemed up with Target Australia! Now for all you American readers this may not seem like such a big deal, but for us Aussie girls this is huge! No longer are the days of ordering online and waiting weeks and weeks for our packages to arrive. 

But before we get too excited, we have to think about what this actually means. Buying cosmetics in Australia is around 3x the price that it is in the US. So we're going to be looking at fairly expensive prices. Just to give you an indication, the Soft Matte Lip Creams will retail for $12.95 whereas you can buy them for only $5.50 on cherryculture.com.

Despite the massive price difference, I will be buying from Target. Why? Well one of the major benefits is that we can test the products before we buy them. Also, I don't have to pay ridiculous postage prices. Plus, buying in Australia will encourage more cosmetic companies to come here too! Bonus!

NYX will be available in selected Target stores across the country in November 2013 with an aim to have all stores fully stocked by January 2014. For those of us in Melbourne, head on down to Target Camberwell as they have set up there a little early!

Let me know what you think. Are you as excited as I am?
