Quick & Simple Holiday Makeup


I don't know about you guys but come Christmas day and I'd rather spend more time unwrapping gifts, seeing loved ones and eating more food than my tummy can handle instead of spending an hour trying to perfect the candy cane eye liner or the glitter cut crease. So what I have put together today are a bunch of makeup products to achieve an effortless festive look in a flash.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box | December


Beauty In Wonderland is the theme of this December's Look Fantastic Beauty Box which is very fitting for the Christmas period, and also very Alice In Wonderland-esque that I am totally loving! I reviewed this year's August box here which I genuinely enjoyed (apart from a few products that simply did not work for me), so I thought it was about time that I review another and give you a look at what's in the final box of 2017.

A Look at my Fragrance Collection


I vividly remember my fragrance collection from years ago when my bedside table was filled with perfumes by Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Mariah Carey, and not to mention Paris Hilton that I'm fairly certain are still hidden away somewhere. As I grew older, so did my personal style and I thought I would give you a look at my current stash of wonderful scents that I have on rotation.

Review | John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore


John Frieda is back with a brand spanking new hair care range targeted at fine, flat hair which is something I struggle big time with so I was mighty keen to give this line a try. I haven't had the best experiences with these so called "volumising" hair products but I kept an open mind and I'm here today to share my findings with you.

Luxury Christmas Gift Ideas for Her


This is the third installment of my holiday gift guide series this year and sadly I think it'll be the last, so this one is for the ladies who you want to absolutely spoil and shower in gorgeous luxurious goodies. I did a fair amount of research in what items to include and what I thought would make them jump in complete joy (I know I would if I received any of these!). Of course these are just ideas and you can tailor them to suit their personal style, preferred scents or colours, so here are my recommended luxe treats for her this holiday season.

The Models Own Wonderland Palette


Not too long ago Models Own officially launched here in Australia (you can find them in Priceline) and as I hadn't really heard much about the brand, I thought what better way to familiarize myself with them than to get my hands one of their pretty eyeshadow palettes. I'll be going into detail about everything from the packaging to the formula and opacity of the shades where I'll also include swatches for reference.

November Favourites


We are at the end of November which means it's the beginning of festive decorations and daggy Christmas shirts (a thousand times yes!). November was an eventful month; we had interstate friends and family visiting and I got stuck into gift shopping, so it was definitely a busy four weeks. Through all the business I did still manage to love a few new items, including a candle that is just drool worthy!

The Classic Smoky Eye In 3 Easy Steps


If there's one eye makeup look that I turn to at least a dozen times a year, it's the smoky eye. We all know the classic version with the use of greys and blacks (which isn't going anywhere), but the trend is always being recreated with new colours and twists on the original. So whether you're loyal to the classic or you like to mix it up, today I'll be sharing my top tips on mastering the smoky eye in three super simple steps that even the most novice of makeup lovers can achieve.

20 Things To Do When You Have Nothing To Do


When I'm not doing blog associated tasks, I'm pretty much a blob on the couch snacking while watching Sex and the City re-runs.

3 Hair Products I Couldn't Live Without

Brand Focus | Bourjois


It's been a couple of months since I had published a brand focus so I'm here today to bring you another. Priceline have stocked Bourjois for as long as I can remember, with them having a slightly higher price point than other well-known drugstore brands like Rimmel and Maybelline. I think the very first product of theirs I bought was a concealer pot which I'm fairly certain they don't stock anymore (that's how long ago it was!), but today I do have a bunch of makeup items that are very much available and are also my personal favourites from this French brand.

My Essence Must Haves Palette


I've been seeing the customisable 'My Must Haves' palettes and eyeshadows at my local Essence stand (which is a fabulous idea!), but the shade range was limited and most of them didn't really appeal to me.

Review | Christophe Robin Cleansing Volumizing Paste


Lucky me received this deluxe sized jar in the Look Fantastic Birthday Beauty Box and I was beyond excited to just slather my hair in the stuff. What this product claims to do is deeply clean the hair whilst giving you immediate volume and thickness without weighing it down, which sounds absolutely perfect to me! After using this for a few weeks, it's time that I give you my honest opinion on whether this hits the brief or if it's a total flop.

September Favourites


The first month of Spring has whizzed by which still felt like Winter, but it definitely is beginning to warm up!

I have a few skincare bits that I've been enjoying as well as a book that is a bit different for me, so here is a look at what I've been loving this September.

6 Beauty Products That Did Not Impress Me


The perks of being a beauty blogger is having an excuse to try a whole bunch of different products to then report my findings with you guys.

A Beauty Anti-Haul

We all talk about the products we wish to own but never about the ones we wouldn't want to own. Sometimes I come across products that just don't appeal to me which could be due to the concept, the shade range in a palette or the high price tag (maybe even all three). A quick disclaimer; it's not that I think these four products are terrible in any way (I know they get a lot of love from others!), but I just don't see myself adding them to the cart in the near future and here's why.

Some Cult Favourites That Are Worthy Of Their Status


Cult favourites are the ones that have won many people's hearts, are recommend by fellow beauty enthusiasts and are the holy grails of the beauty world. Now I haven't had the pleasure of trying all of the cult-classics out there (like Kat Von D's 'Lolita' and Laura Mercier's Translucent Setting Powder), but the five that I have are definitely worthy of their title.

Travel-Friendly Makeup to Take on Your Next Trip


I don't know about you but when it comes to my travel makeup bag, I get very particular about what products to pack and which to leave behind. I consider EVERYTHING before I am perfectly content with my makeup bag because the last thing I want is to carry an expensive powder for it to shatter, an eyeshadow palette that isn't versatile for every occasion or a bronzer that is just too bulky which won't leave room for my favourite foundation. So here are a few bits and pieces that would be great additions to your travel makeup kit for your next vacation.
