Onto part two of the Aussie Drugstore Beauty Haul!



Can be found at Myer, David Jones, Priceline etc, is a fairly prominent mineral makeup brand on shelves here in Aussie.

Can be found everywhere, Myer, Target, Gloss Accessories, Priceline and is often on sale. Their line includes all types of products from nail polish to foundation.








A popular Australian brand, can be found in most chemists/pharmacies and department stores like the ones mentioned above. Great variety of products in their line up too!

so perdy! L-R: Soiling the Fun and Alluring Virtue

This is a budget Myer brand that includes clothing and accessories as well as makeup. Can be found at most Myer stores.

swatches on the top 4 fingers - the pink and orange were the best performers

lip gloss wells are the size of a 5c piece but super deep making them hard to use without a brush

L-R: Swatches of the eyeshdows, then the blush and then the lip glosses top to bottom

This brand I've seen around for a while now at Target but is at the super budget end of the scale so I've generally not bothered with it. For this haul I founf a small display at Priceline and thought what the hell, lets give it a go. They have a great range and super affordable mascaras!

L-R: Concealer shades dark and light, matt foundation swatched

Phew!! Talk about a lot of products to get through! Overall there wasn't much that super impressed me and I'm still going to prefer buying US drugstore brands like NYX, Revlone, L'Oreal, Sleek online via ebay/brand sites etc as they just perform better at a lower cost - even including postage.

My fave items were the Australis Cray for Colour eyeshadow pens - blew my mind with their staying power. As you may know from my previous posts I have the oiliest eyelids that will crease anything ESPECIALLY a cream product, but these babies didn't budge through a whole 8hr work day - even with me layering them up to get an extra metallic shine. I'm definitely going back for the rest of the colours in the range.

Honourable mentions go out to the Nude mineral makeup kit, the Essence concealer, the BYS blush palette and Eyebrow Kit and the Savvy matte foundation, cheek balm and powder blush.

I hope this has help anyone out there interested in local department store/chemist/pharmacy offerings and maybe saving and investing in a midrange or luxury brand might be a better option OR jump online and join the rest of us beauty addicts scooping up bargains from the US and the UK :P
