Sheer Gloss Lip Crayons by Face of Australia

It seems like there's a fad going around recently - crayon shaped lip glosses/balms.

Maybe it's because it sparks the little child inside us - remember those days when you were young and all you did was draw on sketchbooks with fat crayons? I sure do :P

So I've been seeing all these ads around the city promoting the Clinique "Chubby Sticks" in the shape of a thick crayon and thought "oooooh cute!". Nars and Boobi Brown also have similar lip crayons as well.

Anyways, today I strolled into Priceline (as I always do) and ventured towards the hidden back section that nobody seems to go to and found these "Sheer Glosses" in the Face of Australia stand...and they look just like...thick crayons!! Super cute!



The glosses come in a pack of 3 and have cute names as well - Macaron, Cupcake and Sundae.





When you put them on, the texture is actually much lighter than you'd expect...maybe it's because I had the texture of a real crayon on my mind when I tried it on hehe.  You can see it by the sheerness of the texture as applied on the hand below:



My favourite colour is Macaron (just like the food hehe)



Cupcake is a cute pink, and sundae is a very classy mocha colour. As all of the colours are rather sheer, you could probably wear all of them on any occasion!  I'm planning to wear them to work :)





The pens have a wind up applicator so that you never actually have to "sharpen" these babies!

And the best thing is - it only cost $14.95 for the pack of 3 at Priceline! (Chubby Sticks cost $35 for one!)

So if you're looking for a budget alternative to the Clinique Chubby Sticks, why not try these? :)

Today at work I was told I looked like a schoolgirl - I guess that is a compliment given that I'm turning 24 soon.

I asked why - and apparently it was because of this blouse I was wearing:



 

I bought it off ASOS for $53.06 and I love it! I wear it quite often :P

I have also admit that nearly every day after work I drop into the Priceline which is near my bus stop and browse around to see if there's anything I "need" (just an excuse).

Today I found out that there was a deal on at Priceline for Bourjois (Spend $19 or more and receive a mascara and lip gloss worth $42 for free!). I just couldn't resist.

So I bought two blushes - funnily enough the blushes were on sale so I managed to get my hands on 2 for $20 :)





Apparently the blush covers are designed by artists Juliette Buré and Nathalie Lété - they are super cute (you will realise that I have a massive obsession with France and Paris).

I also received in the mail today one of my Revlon lipstick purchases from Ebay (from beautiful_on_a_budget_with_darci).

The colour is "Coralberry" (I'm so into coral lately) and it was only $8.43 with postage!



(The actual colour is a bit more pink that how it shows up in the pic)

And to top it off I also got two deliveries from Gmarket (Korea's "Ebay") - a navy jacket and a coral / cherry red skirt! Altogether these cost like AUD$30 including postage. What a bargain :)





Well that is all for tonight...didn't realise how much effort was required in making a blog post! Serious admiration to all the amazing bloggers out there <3
