Back in March last year I reviewed the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lips*, and now they've released a brand new Satin formula of the same line with a bunch of shades available. I was kindly sent the full range of shades that are available here in NZ to try out and swatch for your all.

I have always loved affordable makeup, of course, I love luxury products but my bank account doesn't, so I tend to always go for the 'drugstore' brands. In all honesty, I think some of these brands have some stand out products, and they definitely shouldn't be overlooked. Designer Brands is what I would classify as a 'drugstore' brand that is sold in pharmacies here in New Zealand and Australia. It's an Australian brand and has been around for ages! Their range is vegan and cruelty-free and basically, all of the products are under $30, if not under $20. They recently released some new eyeshadow palettes* and liners* that are well worth checking out.

A brand new essie* collection is hitting shelves now and this one has blown me away. Inspired by New York, the Fall 2018/19 Collection contains a range of super unique shades in creams and metallics. New York is at the very top of my travel wishlist so this collection already gets a huge tick from me.
