Products I always repurchase

There are some products that I just can't change in my beauty routine. Don't get me wrong, I do love to try new products, but there is always that small element of fear that it won't work for me! So rather than wasting my money on something new, the products that I find myself repurchasing all the time are basically staples in my beauty routine. These range from makeup products to skin care products.

I love a great foundation and even better when I can get it for a reasonable price. My current favourit
e foundation is by Rimmel Match Perfection. This is honestly my holy grail foundation because it just works so well with my skin and gives me a nice even coverage. The best part is, it's regularly on sale somewhere so I always pick it up cheaper than regular price!

I am very fussy when it comes to mascara and have tried a few recently that haven't really worked for me. One that I find myself constantly going back to is the Essence Lash Princess mascara. This is definitely one of the better ones I have used. It really gives me definition and length. The price tag is even better coming in at the 5-6 dollar mark. Very good value for money.

When it comes to powder, I can't go past the cult favourite, Australis Fresh and Flawless pressed powder. To me this will be one that I always have in  my collection because I just love the finish it gives my skin.



I also love to fake tan, even in the cooler months and my all time favourite product to use is Bondi Sands. I use the Ultra Dark shade and it's great. Using the mitt, the coverage is fairly even and lasts for ages. The great thing about this product is that most supermarkets stock it now and regularly have sales, so I always manage to pick it up cheaper!

Christmas time is my favorite time of the year, and one brand who's Christmas range I always look forward to is Lush! I must admit I am a Lush addict at the best of time, but put a little bit of Snow fairy in front of me and I turn into a full on obsessive nut! Snow Fairy is my all time favorite lush scent, and every year at Christmas time I stock up.

Let me know what items you always repurchase, I would love to know!

Products I am loving - Spring 2017



Hello, welcome back to my blog! In today's post. I want to talk about the products that I am currently loving, so keep on reading to find out what products they are!

With the weather starting to warm up here in Australia, I love to fake tan! My product of choice is always Bondi Sands and I have been using their products for a while now. I use Ultra Dark, and as scary as this sounds, it really isn't! I like to look a little extra bronzed, and it's great because I only need to apply one coat of this to achieve my desired result. I always get complemented on how great my tan looks, which is always lovely to hear! The bast way to apply is by using a tanning mitt, to get a nice even coverage!


Recently Zoella Beauty released a new range of products, and I was super excited to know that they are available in Australia! I tried the shower shake and the bath fizzers and love them both! The scent is just beautiful, and makes your whole bathroom smell amazing. The shower shake is really moisturising and leaves your skin so soft.


I am totally addicted to Kmart, and love the face that they stock one of my favourite brands, BYS Cosmetics. I recently purchased the peach palette to try, I have the Too Faced one as well so wanted to compare the two. I really like it. The colours are lovely and very bendable and pigmented. For only 12 dollars, it's definitely something worth picking up if you love the warmer toned eyeshadows.


When it comes to my eyebrows, I love a really simple routine. My brows are one thing I have to do everyday, and the simpler and quicker that is, the happier I am! I purchased the Maybelline Brow Tattoo recently and it has become my favourite brow product to use. It's such a simple product to use and really effective.

So there's the product that I'm loving at the moment. I hope you enjoyed reading, and stay tuned for more posts coming soon xx

My Quick and Easy Self Tanning Routine

Hi all, welcome back to my blog I hope you are all well!

In today's post I will be sharing with you my very simple self tanning routine. With the weather starting to warm up here in Australia, which is exciting and with that means lots of bronzed up bodies!

So here is my easy to follow self tanning routine along with a brief description of the products I use!

My products of choice when it comes to self tanning is always Bondi Sands. I have been using their products for some time now and highly recommend the brand. The products are easy to apply and look very even and natural.

So to begin with, I use the self tan eraser to remove any remaining tan that is on my skin. This is an awesome product to get rid of those spots of tan that won't come off with regular exfoliating. All you need to do is apply this to the areas that you tan removed from, leave on for about five minutes and then rinse off! So easy and such a great product to have in your regular tanning routine.


The next step is to exfoliate the skin, with some exfoliating gloves and your favourite body wash or soap. I am currently using Zoella's Jelly and Gelato Shower shake. It smells amazing while really softening your skin. I do this step to make my skin smooth and ready for application of the tannng products.

After I have patted myself dry, I stand in front of my mirror to apply my tan. The one I use is the Bondi Sands Ultra Dark, and love it! I do this because it's easy to see the parts of my skin that I miss and to ensure that I have a nice, even application. To apply the tan, I always use a tanning mitt. I use the Bondi Sands one, and this really helps to give you an even application while preventing you from getting "Tan Hands".


I will usually wait about 10-15 minutes before getting dressed, to allow the tan to dry. My usual time for applying tan is at night, and I will then rinse of the guide colour in the morning when I get up. This gives the tan a good amount of time to fully develop.

As I said earlier in my post,
