Ah periwinkle is a much better colour match! It's very periwinkle.
Aw thanks, right back atcha!x

Ew, I don't think I'll ever try the Cotton On ones. Just.....no.

I can imagine these being a great little pick-me-up though, much better than my go-to of a block of chocolate.

Oh yes, Ulta3 is my cheap lover too. haven't tried their polishes yet, but I sure intend to.
That's a good observation, I notice American bloggers, for one example, complaning about how expensive a NARS blush is, and we're like OMG $20-$30 prestige blushes WHERE?! I still haven't found a good cheap foundation in Australia though.

Will look at Insta-Dry, I'm using another Sally Hansen topcoat atm but it's not cutting it for me.

Viva La Ulta3! I actually haven't tried anything other than their polishes myself. I'll have to see to that.

Haha! I have to nod my head at your Prestige comment. So true. I'm planning on buying a whole heap of MAC when I travel to the UK later this year. It's kind of funny because in the UK they're often complaining about the expensive cost of MAC and I'm watching, going "what?! That lippie is $8 cheaper than here in Aus!" Oh and think as far as foundations go, you kind of get what you pay for. I'm less likely to take a risk on a cheap foundation than I am a cheap eyeshadow for instance.

xx.

I just bought an Ulta3 polish today too :)
Yup, I'm a foundation snob, I can't imagine ever getting a decent one for under $30 (in Australia anyway...).

Okay, I'm the worst person for foundations reccomendations, as my skin doesn't need too much coverage *ticks the humble-brag box* and I'm quite happy with BB cream or tinted moisturiser.

That said, Bourjois has a very nice range of foundations that are cheapish, especially is you get them during a Priceline sale. I like the Healthy Mix one as it lasts all day on me and doesn't look cakey.
