I wanted to start with sharing my current makeup stash, my shelf dedicated to my makeup and all related items.
My current favourite beyond favourite brand has recently changed from M.A.C cosmetics to Colourpop cosmetics. I found this amazing and affordable brand when I was studying abroad in the US at Old Dominion University in Norfolk Virginia.

While I was there I took the initiative to inform myself of all the indie cosmetics companies and stock up! There are so many online only and indie makeup companies that are gold minds! Full of absolute gems, and more often then not, they are cheaper than you would ever expect.
Colourpop was just one of the most amazing online companies in which I was lucky enough to realise that they ship to Australia! Winning!
Their strangely mousse like texture to their eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers and my personal favourite their highlighters out stage that of any other brand, especially like I said the highlighters and also the eyeshadows! Also they have super affordable 'lippie stix' and matching lip pencils. A beauty junkies dream! Go and check it out!
Coming from a beauty enthusiasts point of view, that collaborative items with online personalities makes their products crazy desirable, must haves, cannot live withouts! Such a great way to boost and grow a new business, they have had great success and only just recently celebrated their one year birthday. My personal favourite collabs are:

I could blab on all day about the amazingness of my favourite brand at the moment, Colourpop. From their great price point, to high end quality to personal touches with their hand written notes in their specially designed boxes.
I adore these guys and give them the highest rating to give.
