EMPTIES | October '17

EMPTIES | October '17 - CassandraMyee


Nothing like being 11 days into November to get my Empties for October up, but neither the less, here they are! As always I just seem to get through products at an alarming rate, obviously, these weren't used up in just 4 weeks and have been products I have been using for a couple of months at least!

COLLECTION COSMETICS | Makeup for Spring/Summer [+ Giveaway!]

COLLECTION COSMETICS | Makeup for Spring - CassandraMyee


With Summer well on its way, it is finally time to bring out those brighter lipsticks and lighter foundations and change up the routine from Winter. I generally stick to similar products throughout the year, but I always like going for a lighter base (I generally end up sweating it off anyway) and cast aside the dark berry lipsticks for something more on the nude side. My blushes get pinker and of course, I whip out a lot of highlighters! Collection has some great products that are not only affordable but will boost your makeup collection to get you set for the warmer months ahead.

Well, who can really believe a month is over again? I swear, I only just did my Most Loved for September, now it's time for October one already... crazy! This month was a little tricky to whittle down some products as I have been trying lots of new things and not really using one thing solidly, but there have been some standouts.

Just about every brand now are bringing out some sort of contouring and highlighting kit. It seems us beauty lovers can't get enough of them, I know I am a big fan of them and have been loving trying out the different offerings. UK based brand Collection have brought out their version* to the market, at a great price of NZD $21.99. But what's the quality like...?

MOST LOVED | June '16 - Becca, Lipidol, L'Oreal, Collection + Rimmel - CassandraMyee


Middle of 2016 and end of June - how crazy is that?! I hope everyone is making it through winter ok and avoiding the dreaded flu, luckily I haven't been hit with it yet (and here's hoping it stays that way). During June, I had a lot of new products to try out so my Most Loved has a good mix of drugstore products and higher-end items from some well-known brands.

COLLECTION | Eyes Uncovered Nude Bronze Palette - Review + Swatches - CassandraMyee

Collection is a brand I've been familiar with for a number of years now, back when it was called Collection 2000! In the past couple of years, they have relaunched the brand making it available for us at Countdown supermarkets, and adding lots of new products to their range. A recent addition is the Eyes Uncovered Eyeshadow Palette* range, that has been raved about by UK bloggers.

MOST LOVED | April '14

 'Tis the final day of April, and I am very sad to see it go. It was a bloody good month, and you can see all my favourite moments and highlights in my Instagram Round Up. It was also a good month for beauty; I acquired some beautiful makeup items from Tarte and MAC (thanks to my lovely parents) and a few other discoveries that I have been using non-stop this April.


COLLECTION COSMETICS | Now In NZ!


Let's all just give New Zealand a round of applause for finally bringing us some international makeup brands to our shores; first it was e.l.f. at Kmart and now Collection UK have launched in Countdown Supermarkets across the country. I had heard a rumour it was coming a few months ago, but really didn't want to get my hopes up, but two weeks ago the Collection stands started cropping up around the country. I think we have all heard of the infamous Lasting Perfection Concealer from the UK bloggers and vloggers, with it being a 'holy grail' for many people, so I was pretty desperate to get my hands on it!
