Beauty Wishlist #2

There is always so many great new products that are constantly being released, and sometimes it can be so hard to keep up with all the current trends! But I do like to stay in touch with what's new, so I have created a beauty wishlist for things that I would like to try in the future.

HUDA BEAUTY
i have heard so many great things about this brand. Huda herself is such an amazing talented person, so anything she creates is going to be fantastic. I am yet to try any of her products, but lately I have been hearing so much about the new faux Filter foundation, tha I can't wait to try it. From the reviews I have seen, they have been very positive, so it's at the top of my wish list!

The other product I want to try from Huda Beauty is the Desert Dusk eyeshadow palette. The colours look so pretty in the palette. I'm loving the pink tones in eyeshadows t the moment, I think they can be so flattering and work well with so many eye looks.

MAC Cosmetics
I actually have never tried anything by Mac, so when they released their holiday collection, it kind of piqued my interest. I love the look of the lipsticks, the packaging is so pretty and the colours are gorgeous. The one that I was particularly interested in is Shimmer and Spice.

 I also want to try the fix plus. I have heard so many great thins about this that I can't wait to give it a go. I'm always on the look out for a good setting spray so have added this one to my list.

Kind of a short wish list, but these items are quite high end, so will take me a while to purchase them! I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know wht is on your beauty wish list, I would love to know!

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!

How I Clean My Makeup Brushes

Something that I am not fond of, but love the end result is cleaning my makeup brushes! I know some of you would agree that it is a very time consuming and partly annoying part of being makeup and beauty obsessed, but it is something that needs to be done!

I like to make sure my brushes are cleaned on a regular basis, and have tried many different techniques and products to make this as easy and smooth as possible. Some have worked and some haven't and it can get really annoying not having the right brush cleaning process.

Recently I found a great product from Morphe that is great for cleaning brushes. It is their brush cleaning shampoo and I absolutely love it! There are three different scents, and I have Cotton Blossom. The scent is very subtle, and you can't really smell it on your brushes after use. There is just enough scent there to leave your brushes and hands smelling pretty!

How it works

Basically you grab your brush and swirl it around in the container.

Make sure the product is wet before you use it, this will help it to soap up and clean your brushes.

Once you have enough product on your brush, massage with your fingers to make sure all the makeup is removed from the brush. After that is complete I then rinse out my brush and pop them on a towel to dry.
The worst part is waiting for them to dry!

After Cleaning

After you have finished with the brush shampoo, make sure to give it a rinse out so that there is no makeup left in the product.

I hope you found this post helpful. Just wanted to add that I buy my Morphe products from a great Australian owned site called www.discountbeautyboutique.com.au There is a lot of great products and super fast shipping!

Thank you for reading, stay tuned for more posts soon xx

August Goals and to do list

I am suffering from the dreaded writers block at the moment but I managed to find something that I would like to share with you. It's a to do list that I have compiled for the month of August, just a few things that I would like to accomplish!
I feel like this year is going by at a rapid rate and each week is getting faster and faster! It's crazy how time flies as you get older!
Anyway, to see what things are on my to do list, keep on reading!

Be more organised!

When I started this blog, I planned on getting out three post a week. Lately this hasn't happened due to just being busy as well as lacking motivation! It's just so grey and cold here at the moment that all I want to do is keep warm with a good book or movie! So I decided that I would get my butt into gear and write myself a schedule for my blog. This includes my three blog posts a week as well as daily posts on Instagram!

Start To Save More

It's getting to that time of year where I have a lot of birthdays to buy presents for as well as getting prepared for Christmas. I also have a few Holidays coming up within the next few months so it would be nice to have some extra cash for that. This means no more spontaneous purchases of things that I don't really need. As a beauty blogger, this is exceptionally hard but I do plan on sticking to this goal!

Exercise More

As we will soon be going into the warmer months here in Australia, there will be no need for the extra layers which means no hiding your body haha! I also suffer anxiety so exercising really helps to control this. With the weather being so cold, it's very un motivating, so haven't really been doing a lot.

Spring Clean

Something that I really hate to do as well as seeming to be a never ending chore is housework! It seems as soon as my house is looking perfect, the kids will come home and change that! I aim to do a big spring clean this month, getting rid of old clothes, furniture and bits and pieces that I have accumulated. I love the end result when it comes to having a good clean out, it's just the starting process that I don't like!

Use Up Old Makeup

As I touched on earlier, I do have a habit of purchasing very unnecessary items. It's funny because I never used to be one for having a lot of makeup or beauty products. But recently I developed an obsession which has led me to this beauty blog! So as part of my goals for this month, I will be using up any foundations, mascaras, or any other beauty related product before I need to purchase anything. I actually have quite a few products, so I will be able to stick to my goal of not purchasing anything this month!

So there is my goals or to do list, let me know what goals and things you would like to accomplish this month!

Thank you for reading xx

Makeup Haul - June 2017

For today's post, I want to share my latest Makeup haul. I bought some really cool products that I have been wanting to try out for ages. These items were purchased from www.discountbeautyboutique which is an Australian company, that have a range of great brands.
If you want to see what I picked up, then keep on reading!

RCMA No Colour Powder

Something that I have heard great things about and been wanting to try for ages is the RCMA No Colour Powder. I have seen so many people use this and say great things about it so I had to get it for myself.
It's a great powder for setting makeup, with there being absolutely no colour to the powder. It's perfect for baking too, working great to set your under eye concealer.
The powder is quite fine, and applies very well and doesn't leave a whit cast like some translucent powders can.
I highly recommend this powder if you are after a perfect setting powder!

Gerard Cosmetics Metal Matte Lip Liquid - Dreamweaver

I am really loving the metallic lip look at the moment and finally picked up my first metallic lip liquid. It's the Gerard Cosmetics Metal Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Dreamweaver.
I love this colour, it's a gorgeous rose gold colour with a metallic matte finish.
This lipstick has long staying power! It goes on very smoothly but can be a little bit dry on your lips. I love the colour, and will definitely be purchasing some other colours in the near future.

Morphe Bristle Shampoo - Cotton Blossom

I am always looking for simple and effective ways to clean my brushes because I love to have lovely clean brushes, but really don't like cleaning them! I purchased the Morphe Bristle Shampoo in the scent Cotton Blossom.
This is such a great product to use. It cleans your brushes so easily and also smelling really nice.
All you do is swish your wet makeup brush around in the shampoo and then lather up and rinse! Really easy and don't forget to rinse the soap after each use, as there can be makeup residue left over.

Milani Strobe Light Glow Powder - Moon Glow

This is one of the best Highlighters I have used. Not only is the packaging simple yet stunning, the highlighter itself is really pigmented. It has such a great colour payoff and a little goes a long way. You can build it up, depending on how 'glowy' you want to look, but I have found that you really don't need to. It has fast become one of my favourite highlighters!

Milani Make it Dewy Setting Spray

Another product from Milani is the Make it Dewy Setting Spray. I was deliberating on wether to get this one or the matte finish one and finally decided on the dewy finish one. It actually has a really nice finish, not too dewy at all. I can get a little oily throughout the day, which is why I was hesitant to pick this up. But after wearing it for a few days, I have found my skin isn't really oily at all.
It prolongs your makeup as well as hydrating your skin and giving you a healthy looking glow.
I really like it and can see myself re purchasing this product.

So that was the items from my latest makeup haul. I am super impressed with all of the products I bought and will most likely be repurchasing them if I need to.

Hope you enjoyed this post and I will talk to you soon xx

Where I buy my Makeup!

Hi all, I hope you're all having a wonderful day!

For today's post, I wanted to share with you a few of my favourite online beauty stores, where I purchase my makeup from. The items I purchase from these stores, aren't available in Australian drug stores or department stores. These are my three favourite store to buy from, so keep on reading to find out more!

The first one I absolutely love is www.discountbeautyboutique.com.au. This store is an official stockist of Morphe products, Milani, Gerard Cosmetics and also stock a whole range of other amazing brands. I have purchased a few products from here and am so impressed with how fast shipping is! Also, if you spend over $100, you receive free shipping. Such great value for money. A lot of the stock does sell out quite quickly, but the website is regularly updated so you don't miss out. I highly recommend checking this site out if you haven't already.

The next website I want to share is www.adorebeauty.com.au. I love this site, and there are so many gorgeous products to choose from. There is a lot of great skincare products such as Dermalogica, as well as homewares and gifts and of course makeup! I love the range of products that can be purchased from here. When you make a purchase, you also receive a few free samples as well, which is always a lovely little surprise. Definitely check them out if you haven't already!

My other favourite store is www.crystalminx.com.au. I have purchased from this site several times and have been super impressed with delivery times! They stock a range of awesome products, I bought my Too Faced sweet peach palette, and a few other things. They also stock Kylie Cosmetics, Anastasia Beverley Hills and many more awesome brands.


I hope you enjoyed this post. As I said, definitely check these sites out if you haven't already. They are all amazing in their own way and you are sure to find something that will appeal to you.

If you have an online store or website that you love, let me know!

Morphe Vegan Pro Brushes 15 Set - Review

For a while now I have been loving my Morphe Brushes. I have heard mixed review when it comes to these brushes, some people love them and some people hate them. however, I really love mine!

I had been wanting to try Morphe brushes for some time, and finally gave in and bought some. After a bit of research, I decided to get the Vegan Pro 15 set. It comes with a really cool leather pouch to store the brushes in which is awesome. The packaging is so simple, the brushes being black with silver detailing and the Morphe logo.


Here is a list of the brushes you get in the set.

1. Angle Liner/Spoolie
2. Deluxe Detail Eyeliner
3. Deluxe Crease
4. Chisel Shader
5. Chisel Shadow
6. Deluxe Blending 
7. Deluxe Precision Crease
8. Deluxe Oval shadow
9. Angle Blender
10. Deluxe Blending Crease
11. Deluxe Oval Concealer
12. Deluxe Angle Brush
13. Mini Buffer/Contour
14. Deluxe Tapered Powder
15. Deluxe Medium Foundation

My favourite brushes would be the eyeshadow brushes. I use Deluxe Blending and the crease brush the most, and I find they make blending my eyeshadow so easy! The brushes are so soft and fluffy, and also pick up a good amount of product. Of course, it depends on what eyeshadow product you are using, but for the most part they work really well with all products.





The Mini Buffer/Contour brush is actually a great brush to apply my foundation. I love how the top of it is flat, and it makes blending my foundation easy as well as giving me a flawless look.










As for cleaning the brushes, which is a job I hate, but they are very easy to clean.

These brushes are synthetic, so they are completely cruelty free which is why I chose them. They allow you to be able to use powder, liquid and cream products which makes them so versatile.
I would have to say these are my current go to brushes, having not used anything else since getting them.

I hope you enjoyed this post, stay tuned for plenty more content to come xx
