MP nude eyeshadow pallet


Hi everyone, 

I picked up the Models Prefer eyeshadow pallet a few weeks ago to try it out as I read good reviews. It seems like a lot of brands are coming out with nude pallets lately !

I gave it a go and I'm not too impressed  with it I must say. In the end it doesn't look bad although the formula crumbles way too much which of course led to lots of fall out . 

I found it hard to get enough product on my lid to make something out of it. The pigmentation isn't bad it just took a lot to get some colour happening .

Its great to include in your start up kit as its only $10.00!! So it's affordable :)

(Please excuse my eyebrows lol )

Have you tried this one yet ? Please let me know what you thought of it. Maybe I should try it with a wet brush to see if it makes a difference ! :)

Unwind with me (skin edition)

Everyday life can be very stressful, whether your at school, university or work. It usually takes its toll on physical appearance which is why skin care is really important.

On days where my skin isn't looking it's best I like to treat myself with a good scrub or mask.

But first I start off with removing any eye makeup I'm wearing with bioderma micellair , I use this with cotton pads, I hold them over my eyes for a couple of seconds and wipe the makeup off (gently of course )



Then I go ahead and cleanse my face with Sukin cleansing gel . This works great with sensitive skin and leaves skin feeling clean and smooth.



It's mask time !! I use the St Ives smooth and hydrated oatmeal mask. This can also be used as a scrub so it's great to have two products in one !!
I absolutely love this brand as it is 100% natural . So it has to be good for the skin :) it definitely leaves the skin hydrated.



Lastly, I moisturise my face with simple clear skin oil balancing moisturiser . I have found that this moisturiser does exactly what it claims and is great for wearing underneath make up !



I would love to hear your recommendations  on skin care products, leave me a comment below :)

Pintrest- winter fashion

It's almost winter here in Melbourne ( 4 seasons in one day city lol ) 
I have been looking at Pintrest, as I do...looking for some winter fashion inspiration. 


I'm absolutely loving long baggy jackets/cardigans and ripped jeans.

I have put together a couple winter staples I have been loving !! 



For all you lovely ladies around the world, what did you love to wear in winter ?? :)

OXX lipsticks


Kmart in Australia has stocked OXX makeup for a few months now. The whole range costs about $3.00AUD (pretty sure) which in Australia that's a total bargain for cosmetics !!

I wasn't able to find many of their lipstick colours as all of their products where completely mixed up so I had a hard time rummaging through all the products. :(

But I did manage to pick up the above colours. I must say I am very impressed with these lipsticks.
It's very pigmented , lasts a decent amount of time and also leaves your lips with a stain. 

The only thing I dislike is the packaging as it's very cheap, but that's what you get for $3.00 :) 

Overall it ticks all my boxes !! And I am looking forward to trying out the rest of their range !!

Rimmel colour rush lip balm


If your not new to my blog you probably have noticed I'm a true hearted Rimmel girl.

The colour rush lip balm are currently my favourites. I'm a tad obsessed with them at the moment. I'm especially liking " rumour  has it " shade.

It's a gorgeous bright fushia pink.


The colour range is small for my liking but they are very pigmented and last a long time. Eventually when it wears off, it leaves a stain which I like!!

I hope you liked this post, I would love to know your thoughts on this line !

Pintrest- hair inspiration




I spend way too much time on Pintrest these days. I tend to stick to dark brown all year round, But I have been inspired to try something different with my hair colour.

I am absolutely loving this deep burgundy colour . ( i  wonder if I can pull it off ) 
I think I'm going to go for it !! Especially as it's almost winter here in Australia , I think that colour would be great in the colder months.

What are your Pintrest hair inspirations ??

Maybelline super stay 24 hour foundation

I'm currently trying out the Maybelline Super Stay 24 hour foundation . I have created a pros and cons list below that may help you decide whether to give this product a try :) 

I bought the lightest colour which is Ivory (if I'm correct )



My list is based on my oily skin type !

Pros: 
The formula works
It has great coverage
A little goes a long way
Lasts a long time ( haven't put the 24 hours to the test ) 

Cons:
The packaging. There is no pump so it gets messy :( 
Expensive $23.95 AUDI 
The colour selection is abit orangy

W7 COSMETICS MINI HAUL/REVIEW


Hi friends!!

I was in chemist wherehouse recently and I made a great discovery.. 'W7' makeup line.

I cannot believe I have never picked any of products up until now. There whole line costs $4.99AUD each so that's really cheap here in Australia.

I picked up lipstick,bronzer and blusher and I couldn't be happier with the results !

I believe this bronzer will suit most skin tones as a little goes a long way. It's not too orange which is what drew me to it. 


I am in love with this honey blusher . It gives such a gorgeous honey colour with a little shimmer. I think it would be good as a highlighter also . ( multi use-I like it !! )


And lastly the lipstick, I'm not sure of the colours name but this is their nude shade. Like your lips but better!! ;)


I hope you guys liked this mini hual . 
Please follow my blog and leave me a comment :) have any of you tried this brand out ??

Maybelline Master Hi Light

Hi friends :) 

One of the items in my March Wishlist was the Maybelline Master Hi Light. I picked this up today as I was feeling down from my job being poop :( 

All I can say is that this Hi Light is absolutely gorgeous !! I can't believe it took me this long to get my hands on it. 
I love products that you can use on more than one part of your face.




You can see in the photos how pretty the colour is.
Besides the colour, it doesn't rub off the skin that easily which I'm happy about.
I'm really excited to wear this on my face in the next comming days :) 

Please follow my blog if you like it and leave me a comment ! I love hearing from you :)

Rimmel Provocalips



I am in love with Rimmels provocalips . These bad boys are very pigmented and super long lasting. ( I mean the colour lasts after eating, how awesome is that! )

It's everything women look for in a lip product.

I was a little hesitant as I usually am a lipstick kind of girl and steer away from lip gloss forms but this is just amazing!!

I have picked up the colours :
730 make your move and 500 kiss me you fool. 

I will be sure to buy the rest of the colours soon :) 

Have you been liking this product?? Leave me a comment !!

How I clean my makeup brushes

Hi friends !!

We all know cleaning our makeup brushes is a must but I too am guilty of not cleaning them on a weekly basis.

It's actually amazing the difference it makes when using a clean brush to apply your makeup.

Today I have used some organic body wash to clean my brushes. As you can see below , I squirt some of the body wash on my hand wet the brush. I swirl the brush in my hand to get a good clean.

Just repeat this two times and watch all the residue go down the drain :)

How to cover a tattoo with drugstore makeup

Hello guys!!

Today I'm going to show you a super easy way to cover a tattoo with drugstore makeup.You dont really have to purchase expensive makeup to achieve it :) so let's get started!


Firstly, what you want to do it take a foundation and just apply it over your tattoo. This is to start a base so it doesn't matter how thin you apply it as we haven't started trying to cover it up yet.


Next grab either a orange or pink eyeshadow/blush and dab that onto your tattoo. You'll need to work out what undertone you are , I'm using a bright orange blush. 


Next grab concealer and dab that on top. I repeated this step about two times.


Make sure to blend the concealer out so it matches with the rest of your skin and finish off with some pressed powder and your done !! You may also spray it with hair spray to lock it all in .

Here are the products I used, just cheap brands as you really don't need anything fancy.


I hope you enjoyed this post, please follow my blog if you like my content!! :) xx

Three new products review

Hello my loves :)

On this scorching hot thundering afternoon, I thought id do a review on three new products I have been trying out lately. I have chosen these three as they are the three products I have been reaching out for on a daily basis and you might enjoy trying them out!!


Tony&Guy: Volume plumping whip

I absolutely love this product. It retails for about $15.99 AUD
You simply apply it to the roots of your damp hair then just blow dry your hair ( i like to blow dry mine head upside down to give it that little extra volume)
It smells great and works great.


Pantene Dry shampoo: Volume booster

I usually stick with Batise dry shampoos but when i recently ran out i decided to give another brand ago.
This retails for  about $10.00 AUD.
I'm not fond of the smell most dry shampoos have but this one is actually a pleasant smell. Nothing too strong.
It does exactly what it claims to, give you some volume!! which is AMAZING!!


Witch naturally clear: Blemish Gel

I have heard many people rave on about Witch products so i picked that up.
This retails for about $9.99 AUD

I have been following the directions and applying this on my blemishes at night time. and wow does this stuff really clear your skin out. Definitely a keeper!


I hope you enjoyed this little review, tell me your thoughts on these products? :)

Peanut butter oat slices

These peanut butter oat slices are super easy to make and delicious.

What you will need : 

1 cup Peanut butter (of your choice)
1/2 cup Honey
3 cups Oats


Heat the honey and peanut butter in a pot, just enough so the honey and peanut butter mixes well.

Pour the mixed honey and peanut butter onto the oats.
Mix well until combined.

Place the mixture on a tray (lined with baking paper)

Once you have placed the mixture on the tray, then put it in the fridge for about half an hour. Once they have set you may alice them up into squares.

I store them in the fridge as I like to snack on them chilled.

This is the end result!


They taste pretty good and is great for a quick protein snack .

Eyelash extensions !

I have always wanted to get eyelash extentions but have been abit worried about how my eyes would react as they are quiet sensitive.

Luckily my eyes have reacted just fine!!

I am in love although I don't know how long I will continue to get them refilled.. 
I have always been lucky enough to have natural thick long lashes .




Do any of you lovely people get them done ?

Typical office life clothing :)

Ogx

I'm currently loving Ogx Leave-In Nourishing Coconut Milk .. 

I purchased this from priceline which retails for $17.99 . It's on the more expensive side of hair products but this is definitely a keeper.

It's organic and wow it really does the job. My ends are damaged from when I had balayage applyed to it so as you can imagine all the bleach made my ends very dry and brittle. 

When I apply this product all of the frizz vanishes and leaves my hair nice and smooth. You would almost think my hair was totally healthy. 


Valentine's Day look

I'm just like the next girl that loves V'day 
This is the look I went with..


Eyes: Maybelline colour tattoo cream:"too cool "
Models prefer "black lash liner Tri precision"

Australis: "soiling the fun"



Dress: " Central lane "


Hair: "Remington keratin therapy wand"

Subtle eyeshadow



I'm really loving this combo lately , I'm not big on normal powdered eye shadows.. I usually go for the cream/eye shadow sticks.


They both last all day and are a great match. Perfect for work for a subtle look or you can dramatise it abit more for a night time look by adding some eyeliner

Sukin cleansing gel (sensitive)


I recently tried Sukins cleansing gel for sensitive skin and am liking it a lot. 

My skin is mostly oily around the t zone and I have tried so many cleansers that just dry my skin out so much . 

This cleansing gel leaves my skin so soft and smooth without causing dry patches.
This product is definitely a keeper!

Have you tried it ?

Things I have been loving this month

Hi guys, here's some products I have been reaching for ALOT this month.

Essence soo glow


This is a cream to powder highlighter , this drys so nicely and has such a smooth finish to it which leaves a pretty glow. I am definitely in love with this highlighter. 


Rimmel 25 hr lasting finish liquid foundation 


I love a lot of Rimmel products, I enjoy using their liquid and powder foundations . I have oily skin so a foundation that claims to last this many hours is a must for me. I haven't tried wearing it for that long ( not sure if anyone has) but it definitely lasts all day. 

Models prefer eye brightner 


I don't use anything under my eyes but this product. It has great coverage and is pink toned which I feel hides my dark under eye circles. 

Essence blush up


I was a little hesitant at first because of the bright orange and pink colours but it's actually a beautiful colour on the skin, whether you mix the orange and pink together or use the colours separately. With a light hand this blush is fantastic!


Australis tint my brow


This is great to quickly swipe some colour on to fill in those gaps. They have a good colour range and it stays on all day without any smudging !!
