I'm always excited to see a package waiting for me upon my arrival home!
Small haul from Crush Cosmetics. Great site for Aus looking to buy cheap and decent quality make up. They stock a range of American drug-store brands inc. NYX, E.L.F and Wet n Wild.

(L to R: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, E.L.F Mineral Lipstick in Nicely Nude, NYX Round Lipstick in Iris, NYX Lipgloss in Real Nude, NYX Lipgloss in Strawberry + free pigment!)

So far, loving the Jumbo Pencil. It glides on so smoothly and it's easy to blend if you don't want any harsh edges. Also, the Mineral Lipstick is such a beautiful nude shade and it doesn't dry out too much! Not the best at the tissue/cup transfer test, reapplication I would say is a must. To be fair, it hasn't had it's fair share in the spotlight yet though so more thoughts to come. The lipglosses are a bit too glossy for me, I prefer lipsticks but they are both lovely colours. TBH, I don't recommend the Iris shade for people with fair skin. It's like a dusty bronze (?) I really didn't like how it looked on me and it was a bit too glittery for a lipstick. I also got the E.L.F Translucent Powder, I've used it once so I can't comment on it much but it blends into your skin very well.
That's all for now x
[edit]
E.L.F Translucent Powder = miss. Sometimes you don't need things like these. My make up looked the same at the end of the day as when I don't apply it. Skin doesn't stay very matte for long (and I don't have very oily skin!). I much prefer my M.A.C Fix+ spray.
