I didn't purchase a lot from Beauty Joint this time around, I feel like the shipping prices rise every time I go to buy something.
I did buy a few things I had been wanting to get from iHerb but they were always out of stock.

There were a few ELF bits that I have been wanting to pick up for awhile but I was struggling to find somewhere that would ship to New Zealand and still had them in stock.
The Studio Baked Blush in Pinktastic.
To me this isn't a blush, it's a highlighter. It is a white shimmer with a few pink flecks. Very similar to MAC Lightscapade but more on the pink side.
For some reason this swatch didn't show up the pink.
This is a wonderful highlighter.
$3.99 USD.

I'm obsessed with highlighters at the moment so I wanted to try out another ELF Shimmering Facial Whip
I have purchased Pink Lemonade in the past but I found it was too pink to use as a highlighter.
So I purchased Spotlight.
This is a plain white shimmer. I haven't tried it on my face yet but it swatches nicely.
I did find it a little bit lumpy when I squeezed it out of the tube but that could be because it is cold.
This smells divine, just like candy.
$1.99 USD

Everyone needs this! That is possibly why I struggled to find the colour I needed.
The ELF Brow Kit in Ash
If you don't have this go out and buy it. Brows are so important and this makes keeping them in shape all day so so easy!
The left side is a gel. It holds your brows in place all day and doesn't make them look crusty. The right side is a powder, I guess it is for more colour, I don't use it as I find it makes my eyebrows look to dark.
$3.99 USD

Speaking of eyebrows, they needed attention. My eyebrows are quite long (as in the cover most of the width of my face). I was really unhealthy a while back and my eyebrows were falling out and were extremely thin. Now that my health is back on track they are growing like crazy.
So I needed to invest in some tools to keep them under control.
I thought diving into it with just tweezers would be asking for disaster.
So I found these Ardell Brow Perfecting Stencils. The packet comes with four reusable stencils. You choose what stencil you prefer (and what fits over your eyebrows, you need to be realistic about it) and then colour between the lines with an eyebrow pencil.
$4.75 USD

Now I needed something to get rid of the extra hair, I really didn't want to individually pluck the hundreds of hairs that needed to disappear, that would have take all day.
So I got these Kleancolor Wonder Eyebrow Razor.
These are great, it makes getting rid of hair so easy. Just glide it across the hair and out it comes.
They fold in half so that the "blade" is covered, and are easier to store away.
$1.25 USD.

I also picked up some tweezers because I had lost my last pair.
So I picked up the Revlon Vision Tweezer.
These are amazing, they have an 'L' shaped end on them which makes it super easy to pick up stubborn hairs.
They are super grippy and never drop a hair.
$3.99

I have so many nail polishes but have been eying up China Glazes' Sunsational collection for a long time.
So I added one to my cart.
It was so hard to choose what colour to buy, I may have to go back for more.
But in went Neon & On & On.
I don't have anything else like it, so that was the deciding factor.
It looks like a very pale pink in the bottle but once dried it is a very light. neon pink.
I find you need a few coats to get an opaque finish but it lasts.
$4.25

My whole order came to $35.92 USD including postage.
I go for the untracked option and it usually take 2 - 3 weeks to arrive.
