MOST LOVED | NOVEMBER '15

MOST LOVED | NOVEMBER '15 - L'Oreal Professionnel Paris, The Body Shop, The Balm, Too Faced, Chi Chi - CassandraMyee

Can you really believe that it's the last day of November right now? I definitely can't, and that means there is only one month until the end of the year - Christmas is on its way guys So it's time for my second to last Most Loved of 2015, and this month I had some hair products I couldn't get enough of and of course, some very loved makeup bits too.

COSME-DE.COM | Haul + Review - Guerlain + Benefit

COSME-DE.COM | Haul - Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder in 02 + Benefit Coralista Blush - CassandraMyee

I was recently contact by online beauty retailer COSME-DE.com to see if I wanted to try out their site and pick a few products to try out; naturally I said yes, because I love online shopping and I love makeup. They have so many brands on there (over 500!) and they stock men's and women's products from skincare, to hair, to beauty and fragrances too, plus they offer free shipping worldwide (a major tick in my books!)

LUST HAVE IT | Women's Beauty Box October '15 - Unboxing + Initial Thoughts - CassandraMyee


It's time for another Lust Have It Women's Beauty Box* unboxing for October! This one arrived last week, and it's nice that they are finally back on track with the shipping. October's bag comes with seven items in it, including four full sized products and three sample sizes and there's an interesting mix of makeup, skincare, hair and even a nail polish! 

BOURJOIS PARIS | New Releases + Thoughts

BOURJOIS PARIS | Upcoming Releases + First Impressions - CassandraMyee

About a month or so ago I was invited to celebrate the NZ launch of makeup brand Bourjois. I'm sure most of you would have heard of the brand before, particularly from those in the UK who are always raving about their products. I used to buy it off ASOS, as it was the only way to get it to NZ, but now Farmers stores across the country have Bourjois stands, with all of the iconic products available. I was extremely fortunate to get a large goodie bag of things to try out, so here are my thoughts on a few things from their lineup of current products and some new releases for Summer.

L'OREAL PARIS | New Releases October/November '15 - Review + Swatches

L'OREAL PARIS | New Releases October/November '15 - Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee

L'Oreal is definitely one of my favourite makeup brands, and lately they have been bringing out some amazing new releases. Adding to their extensive line up are some new eye and brow related products that I've been testing out for the past few weeks, so get ready for some reviewin'.

ULTA3 | Nail Polishes for Spring/Summer - Review + Swatches

ULTA3 | Nail Polishes for Spring/Summer - Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee

Spring and Summer are always the best months to pull out the bright and pastel nail polishes you had tucked away over Winter. The very affordable brand, ulta3 have recently bought out a whole swag of new shades, in candy pastels and brights perfect for the warmer months.

M.A.C | Magic Of The Night Holiday 2015 Collection - Review + Swatches

M.A.C | Magic Of The Night Holiday 2015 Collection - Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee

You know when M.A.C release their holiday collections that they are going to be good and this year is no exception! Last year's Heirloom Mix Collection was a total knock out (see it here), and the 2015 offering is equally as good, and the metallic jewel toned packaging is eye catching and totally festive appropriate.

THE BODY SHOP | Limited Edition Time To Shine Christmas Collection '15

THE BODY SHOP | Limited Edition Christmas Collection '15 - Swinging Silver + Grooving Gold - Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee

After the release of The Body Shop Christmas body collections (see the delicious smelling Frosted Plum range here), I didn't think things could get much better, but they have! Along with their usual body products, they've also released a limited edition makeup range packed with lots of metallic golds and silvers, so appropriate for the festive season.

THEBALM | Balm Voyage! Eyeshadow, Lip + Cheek Stain Palette - Review + Swatches

THEBALM | Balm Voyage! Eyeshadow, Lip + Cheek Stain Palette - Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee

It's not often that a bargain like this one comes along. As it always happens, an NZ Sale email popped up in my inbox and instantly my eyes lit up - they had theBalm on sale... for only $9! I honestly could not believe it when I saw that, so naturally, I was straight on there adding things to my cart, which included this palette, the Balm Voyage! Palette, and The Balmsai Eyeshadow + Brow Palette (which I'll be reviewing on here very soon). The sale was like a makeup lovers dream!

ON KEEPING THINGS NEUTRAL

ON KEEPING THINGS NEUTRAL - CassandraMyee

I'm a neutral lover at heart; you'll find me reaching for brown hues for eyeshadow rather than something bright, a nude lip over a bright pink one, and a natural blush tone. Although of course, I like to introduce a bit of colour and life into my beauty routine every now and then, I'll always feel safe with a more neutral palette, and not only is that in my makeup choices, but also in my style and jewellery options too.

ULTA3 | Lipstick Collection - Review + Swatches

ULTA3 | Lipstick Collection - Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee


Last month I was super lucky to attend a Bourjois launch party, and I came home with a very generous goodie bag packed with Bourjois products as well as some products from brands that the PR company look after. Inside were a few lipsticks from the very affordable brand, ulta3*. I already own one shade in my stash, so I thought I would do a little swatch and review and share the four other shades I got.

THE BODY SHOP | Frosted Plum Christmas Collection

THE BODY SHOP | Frosted Plum Christmas Collection - CassandraMyee

New Christmas collections are coming out thick and fast now, and The Body Shop is dropping their usual deliciously scented lot of body treats. They're bringing back favourite scents from previous years - Glazed Apple and Frosted Cranberry, and have added a new one to the bunch, the gorgeous Frosted Plum range*.
