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. 

The Christmas Makeup Edit | Reds, Golds & Shimmers

'Tis the season for traditional festive makeup and I've rounded up the the classic reds, golds and shimmery goodness to get you into the holiday spirit. Every Christmas I simply cannot resist saturating my eyes in sparkles, reaching for that bold red lippie and jazzing up my nails, so here are just some favourites of mine for creating the ultimate look for a merry and bright season.

5 Things I've Been Loving Lately

Today I have a mix of bits and pieces that I am utterly busting to talk about and normally I would wait until the end of the month to share my recent loves (don't worry it's still going ahead), but why the heck not do a mid-month favourties too? 

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.

My Top 10 Guilty Pleasures

Everyone has a list of guilty pleasures whether they keep it on the down-low or have no shame in admitting it, today I am sharing with you ALL of mine (eep!). I thought this would be a really fun way for you guys to get to know the girl behind BlonDee's Beauty a little more with my semi embarrassing/a lot embarrassing guilty pleasures. 

November Recap

December is officially here (woo-hoo!) so a roundup of November is definitely in order. I published a mix of lifestyle and beauty here on the blog, and I also fitted in some Christmassy posts to get the festivities rolling. But if life got in the way and you missed what I got up to last month, now is the time to get your binge on!
