Australian Beauty Best-sellers: Priceline, part two.

Unfurl the sails, polish your pegleg and adjust ye eyepatches, for 'tis time for part two of Priceline's best makeup sellers from the past 12 months!

(Part one is here.)

 

BLUSH: Models Prefer Blush in Desk to Date

Ah yes, the $10 princess of Priceline. Model's Prefer is unique to Priceline and seems to be doing AOK as this exposes. This corally-goldy-pink, (slightly shimmery, (could possibly be a little too glitzy for some daytime wearers) and very highly-pigmented (be sure to TAP OFF your brush before applying to face) blush gives a terrific burst of cheek fun.

MASCARA: Max Factor False Lash Mascara in Blackest Black

If you are the kind of dame who likes limp, thin lashes you will fucking hate this so hard. Because it gives TREMENDOUS volume and lots of thickness and length, and while I am a strict tubular mascara fan during the day, I love cracking this mascara (or CoverGirl Clump Crusher) out at night.

LIPSTICK: Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in Coralicious

FINALLY the coral-orange lipstick thing I have been banging on about for years is starting to really sink in. Well it must be if the number one lipstick is a coral. Come on. Just agree with me, it will be easier. This is more of a red-coral than a peach-coral which actually makes it more flattering/wearable for more women,  which is nice. Not drying, either.

LIPGLOSS: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey

I make it no secret these are some of my favourite lip colours. Generally have two in my bag at any one time (speaking of coral which I was just above, my favourite orange colour of these is now in Australia - Rendezvous). This shade, Honey was the best seller by far when I did the events last year with Revlon and why? Because it's a very lovely, flattering, safe dusky rose pink. Lovely as a blush, too.

 

NAIL POLISH: Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Enamel in Black Out

Looks like the dark nails trend is still tracking strong, and as it should be, especially when you find yourself wearing something very "pretty" or obviously asking for a nude or red nail. Go black and turn everything upside down, why don't you. Just be keep sure to keep black nails short and neat, ay.

And that does it. Might add here that I was inspired to write all this because Priceline emailed and said that Nanoblur was their best-selling product in the last 12 months... after only a couple months in store.

Hey.

Donwahrry.

Imma write about this cream next woyk!

Australian Beauty Best-sellers: Priceline, part one.

If you're anything like me (wide, four wheels, red paint) you are nosy and curious about what other people like. At cafes I ask what the most popular dishes are, and at gelato shops the most famous flavour, and in foreign countries I need to go to the most popular restaurant. I even ask my hairdresser which hair cuts and colours are most popular at the present, not because I want them, but because I am annoying.

So, I've decided to ask beauty brands and retailers what their best-sellers are. Partly because of aforementioned nosiness, but also because I am fascinated as to what you rascals spend your money on. Oh sure, I can sit here on my camel and tell you what to use and buy, but you will of course do precisely as you please when it comes to what you like and need and what interests you enough to spend your lollies on.

I'm starting with Priceline, because they are a terrific indicator of the General Population: we all shop there.

These are the makeup products that smoked their cash registers for the past 12 months, but I'm guessing you already know this, cause you contributed to it, you spendy little squids.

Here is part one: 

FOUNDATION: Nude By Nature Mineral Cover in Medium 


 

My word! And here I was thinking mineral foundation had enjoyed its moment in the sun. Not even nearly. My niece uses this and claims it "covers everything" perfectly without looking too makeuppy. I'm a diehard liquid foundation fan (Nude also do one of those) so have never tried this.

 

PRIMER:  L’Oreal Base Magique Smooth Primer

I know and like this one. Little bit goes a long way, pores look smaller, makeup stays put, the use of silicon makes it glide on like velvet and fine lines are nicely filled in before you splunk on your foundation.
 

CONCEALER: Maybelline Concealer Cover Stick in Medium

Still going! I was using this in high school. A classic concealerwith a waxy base ideal for concealing pimples, the scars thereof and redness. Not for use under the eyes - you need something creamy there as the skin is basically oil-free and needs all the moisture it can get.
 

BRONZER: Rimmel Sun Shimmer Bronzer in Sun Bronze

Another classic, faintly luminous, and with a very fine powder for a sink-into-the-skin finish, (not to mention the <$20 price tag) I get why this one is still smashing it. Apply lightly, is the key. You should never be able to see bronzer... you just look ...healthy... a bit tan. Glowing.

EYELINER:  Maybelline Master Precise Liner in Black

 

Well I am impressed. Thin-nibbed liners are not the easiest thing to get used to, and even uneasier to remove if you make a mistake, but clearly you guys have managed it, because of all the liners - gel, pot, kolh, pencil - this is your favourite. So well done. Now let's all wear winged liner to celebrate.

 

Do you buy these things?

Check your handbag, you might.

Part two in a couple of days. Til then, behave and NO PULLING YOUR SISTER'S HAIR.
