2015 was the year when I tried a lot of beauty products. I started my blog, got more active on Beauty Review, bought beauty boxes and I was more curious to try more brands.
This post is the big compilation of all the products I loved the past year.

Love Pink
I have always been a girly girl and pink has been my favourite colour for as long as I can remember. I don’t have a lot of pink clothing but I have an abundance of the colour in other forms. I’ve always been attracted to it and it’s a happy colour for me.
I thought I’d share with you my current favourite pink items in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness. If you didn’t know, October is Breast Cancer Month so there are a lot of fundraising and pink-themed events going on to help raise awareness and money to breast cancer through the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation.
September Beauty Box
It has been a few months since the last Beauty Review Beauty Box but the September box finally came out. I received it last week and I’ve been excited to share it to you.
If you haven’t heard, Beauty Review is this awesome NZ website where you can post reviews of makeup, skincare and haircare products. You can engage with others in the forum, read articles and you can also get your hands on their beauty box. I bought the last one back in March and it was such great value that I couldn’t resist picking one up again.
To see the full haul of what’s inside September’s Beauty Box, continue below.
Topshop Lips Swatch
Topshop Beauty is something that doesn’t get talked about as much. I think people overlook Topshop makeup because it doesn’t specialise in cosmetics. However, I have loved most things I have tried from Topshop Beauty especially their lipsticks.
I have the same number of Topshop Lips as my MAC lipsticks and with the price difference, I prefer Topshop Lips more.
I have a full lip swatch and review below.
MAC Lipstick Swatch
It has been a while since my last lipstick swatch so I thought I’d finally post my MAC lipstick collection and swatches.
I didn’t realise how much my MAC lipstick collection has increased in the past years. I currently have 10 which doesn’t seem too much compared to other beauty bloggers but considering these are $40NZ, it is too much.

Daiso Haul
This is a slightly different haul because it’s an assortment of things. I love Daiso which is sort of the Japanese dollar store where things are 3 for $10. I call it my wasteland because I can waste so much time just looking at everything in there. I can spend hours. They have so many cute stuff. I also feel like Japanese stuff are better quality than the other Asian stores.
This haul is a mixture of beauty and stationery. I haven’t posted about stationery on my blog before but I also love it. I can’t resist cute notebooks and pens!
I also got a few other things not in the photo above so if you want to see them, click below.
Essence Cosmetics Haul
I love Essence. It is currently my favourite makeup brand. It is so affordable and everything I’ve tried so far has been pretty good.
This is my latest haul which I got quite a while ago and I’ve had time to test the products out.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks
It has been a while since my last lipstick swatch so I’m back for another one. This time around, I’m swatching these Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks.
I used to have more than these but I gave some away because some shades didn’t suit me or I just didn’t use them. I’ve currently have 8 lipsticks in my collection.
I really like these lipsticks and a few are my absolute favourites.
See below for my lip swatches and review.
Swatch: Maybelline Vivids
I have a lipstick swatch for today and I’ll be talking about the Maybelline NY Color Sensational Vivids Lipsticks. These were my first Maybelline lipsticks and as the name suggests, these shades are bright!
I have managed to collect 8 beautiful shades. See below for my review and lip swatches.
The Perfect Match
For the past month, I have been loving these two products. In my April favourites, I’ve included the MAC lipstick in Craving. That has remained a favourite but what I didn’t expect is to find a great nail polish match for it.
They don’t appear close to colour in the photo above but in real life, they are. I am obsessed with this combination and I know these two are going to be my long time loves.
See below for more photos and swatches.
