Rimmel ‘Stay Matte’ Pressed Powder

Pressed powder is a summer night out essential and this Rimmel ‘Stay Matte’ powder is definitely value for money.

Tartlette Tease Palette

Nearly every eyeshadow palette has a shade or two that you’re never going to use, so why spend $60+ when you can get six perfect shades for half the price? Enter Tarte’s Tease Palette, a selection of soft neutrals that will become an essential in your makeup bag all year round.

Available from Sephora Australia for $29
