Spring Favourites

Beauty favourites change with the seasons, so I thought I'd share with you some things I've been loving this Spring.

Spring Cleaning Part 2 - Products I Would Not Recommend

Continuing on from the Spring cleaning theme of my last post, I thought I'd share with you guys some of the products I came across whilst I was cleaning out my makeup collection that I would not recommend. These are mostly products that I end up throwing out without using them up, or products that I would not repurchase.

My Top 5 Autumn/Winter Lip Shades

As the cooler weather rolls around, in come the vampy/berry lip shades. The best thing about these shades is that they look great one everyone, from light skin to dark (and they tend to make your teeth look whiter!), so I've compiled a list of my personal favourites...

Product Review | Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette

This beautiful baby was gifted to me for my birthday from my lovely friend Kim. I'd never really paid much thought to Marc Jacobs products because as far as I know they're only available at Sephora, however when I saw this palette I fell in love.

Anastasia Beverly Hills vs Australis Contour Kit | Compare the Pair

We've all seen the contour craze take over lately, with brands releasing contouring products left, right and centre. In this post I'll be comparing the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit with the Australis AC ON TOUR Highlighting and Contouring Kit.

Product Review | L'Oreal Miss Manga Mascara

Hi guys, long time no talk!

Today I thought I'd share with you guys my thoughts on the L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara. I did originally want to tell you guys about it earlier, but I've really struggled to decide how I feel about this mascara (I'm still not sure how I feel). I'll just tell you guys a bit about it.

Product Review | Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer

When I first tried this primer, I have to say my expectations weren't particularly high - I've never really found most primers to do that amazing of a job, however with this one I was pleasantly surprised.

Shu Uemura vs Shiseido Lash Curlers | Compare the Pair

We all know the Shu Uemura is the cult favourite when it comes to eyelash curlers, however I'm personally not the hugest fan of it. That's not to say it doesn't do a decent job (because it does), however it's just not my favourite. In this post I'll be comparing my personal favourite (by Shiseido) to the classic cult favourite (Shu Uemura). 

My Holy Grail Brush Cleaner

I've tried my fair share of brush cleaners - from shampoos to hand soaps to brush cleaners, and even the old dishwashing detergent + olive oil, but this one is by far the winner. Out of everything I've tried, this is the quickest and most effective product, with several added benefits.

My Essential Eye Brushes

Hey guys, today I thought I would share with you my most used/essential eye brushes. Of course there are many different types of brushes out there all tailored for different purposes, however for the most part I think that with only these brushes you can get by for creating any look.

NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation

3 pumps (more than enough to cover my entire face)

We've all heard mixed reviews on this foundation but personally I like it (so far). I think whether or not you'll like it depends a lot on your skin type and the type of finish you like. Read on to find out if this is the foundation for you.

What I got for my Birthday!

Hey guys, I know it's been a little while but I've been busy lately - working, organising my birthday and making plans for a couple of trips later in the holidays.

I thought it would be fun to share with you guys what I got for my birthday!

Dry Shampoo 101

For those of you who haven't yet discovered the wonders of dry shampoo, I'll tell you a bit about it. Basically it's a powder that you spray (or in some cases - shake) into the roots of your hair, which soaks up oil whilst adding volume and texture.

Did you know that it's actually bad to wash your hair every day? Doing so not only strips all the moisture from your hair, but also kicks your scalp into oil overdrive, causing your hair to get greasy faster than it otherwise would. Also think of all the heat damage you can save your hair by only blowdrying/straightening/curling every few days instead of every day!

With that in mind, dry shampoo is the perfect weapon for getting through those days in between washes, or days when you don't have time to wash your hair (hello, shower in a can!) Not only that but dry shampoo can be used on clean hair to help add volume and texture (even my boyfriend is hooked on it!)

The most effective way to use it is to part your hair with your fingers and spray a little bit into the roots from about 20-30cm away. I find it works the best if you let it settle in for a while to soak up all the oil, then massage and brush through.

So now you know a bit about it, read on to find out about some of my favourites...

2014 Favourites!

Hey guys,

I know that once again, I'm a little bit late, but I thought I'd share with you guys some of my favourite products of 2014. Of course there are heaps of other products I love that I didn't include in this post - I just tried to include the things I find myself constantly reaching for and constantly repurchasing over and over again.
