My First Haul - Australis + Nude by Nature


Hi! Happy Mid Autumn Festival!!!
I went shopping last Friday in Bondi Junction because of the mid-season sale in Myer. I was attracted by the offer of Benefit Browbar in Bondi. To celebrate their opening, they are offering a free brow wax service and a Cabana Glama DesTANation kit when purchasing 2 or more products.

I have been eyeing on the Benefit Feelin’ Dandy Set, I think the offer give me another reason to get it.


However, after researching the selling price in US, I gave up. Just like all the other cosmetic brands in Australia(except Illamasqua now), the selling price of Benefit products in here is ridiculously high as compare to other countries. The Feelin’ Dandy Set is $55 while it is only $28 in US. I will just get it when I go to Hong Kong at the end of this year.


I then went past a discounted tray, and I FOUND THIS!





It is the nude by nature wonder kit. It just costs $17 for the a 7 pieces set! What a bargin!! It included:
Oil-Free Moisturinf Lotion 125ml
Airbrush primer 50ml
Flawless Liquid Mineral Foundation 50ml (Med/dark)
Flawless Liquid Concealer 15ml
Mineral Lip Liner
Helping Hand Cream 100ml
Concealer Brush
Unfortunately, the shade of the foundation doesn’t fit me at all. I am Mac NC15, it is way too dark for me. I think I will try to use it as contouring.

I then went to Target and found that Australis well as many other cosmetic brands are on sale (it didn’t show in Target catalogue). I have been waiting for discount on Australis for months now, but the most of the Australis products are gone in Bondi. 


I then went running to Target in Eastgarden where I bought four more exciting Australis products. I brought the Face-A-Holic Touch and Glow palette which I have planned to get it for a long time. I scanned it under the price check machine, and to my surprise the palette was on sale from $20 down to only $5. Walalala~~~
I then scanned all the kits and limited edition products of Australis. The Nudist palette with the lovely cheap price of $4! The Ready2Mingle set is only $5 and the Ready Set Go finishing powder with kabuki brush scanned at $5. The eyebrow kit is also available for…………………$0.03!!!!! Can you believe this??? Like what can be bought for $0.03 other than this? I m so glad that I went to Eastgarden that day.;)
I will be posting reviews and swatches on all of these products, of course, in the upcoming month. Have you tried any of these products?

Hi! Nice to meet you~

I am truly a shopaholic of beauty products, but only when come to good deals or bargains. I am currently living in Australia. I am looking forward to share my reviews and thoughts on here with all of you. :)
