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!

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

$3 Dollar Skincare Review

In one of my many recent trips to my local Kmart store, I was stalking their beauty section to see if I could find anything that appealed to me because let's face it, as a Beauty Enthusiast we can never have enough beauty products!

I finally came across some products that I hadn't seen before. The brand is called 'Beauty Care Co', and all of their products were around the three dollar mark.

This definitely piqued my interest, as I am definitely one for inexpensive beauty products so I grabbed a couple so I could try them.

The products I grabbed are Rosehip & Oil Body & Hair oil, Rosehip & Jojoba oil Facial Cleanser and Rosehip & Jojoba face oil.

I have to say for the price, these products aren't too bad.

I'll start off with the facial cleanser. This product was probably my least favourite out of the three. It is quite an oily texture and doesn't really foam up too much. I found it cleansed my face well, but I would have to use it a few times before my face felt clean. But for three dollars, it's not a bad product at all.

The next product is the body & hair oil. This product os ok too, I mainly use it on my body rather than my hair. It leaves your skin quite soft as well as giving it a bit of a sheen. It has a slight scent to it too, but nothing too overpowering.

The last product that I want to talk about is the face oil. I really like this product! I was quite surprised to be honest, as it was such an inexpensive product I expected it to be quite oily on my skin. But this is not the case at all! I found it applies and blends in well and even minimises my pores a little. It also gave my skin a glowy finish, which I was quite impressed with.

As I said, these products are only three dollars and are not too bad. There are other products in the range as well as other scents. It's worth checking out of you haven't already.

I hope you enjoyed this post, stay tuned for more content regularly! xx

Beauty Wish List #1

Hi all, I hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday. In today's post, I want to share with you some products that are on my beauty wish list. These are some current products that I a looking forward to trying, and would love to add them to my ever growing makeup collection!

Firstly, a brand that I have been seeing a lot on Instagram and that is The Ordinary. Not only is the packaging of these products gorgeous, they sound amazing! And the price of them is great, they are reasonably priced for something that looks so good. I really wag to try the silicon primer and Moroccan Argan Oil, so will definitely have to make a purchase sometime in the near future.

Onto another brand that I have heard a lot about and that is Jouer Cosmetics. Their products look so lovely and I am particularly interested in trying the lip toppers. I also like the look of their highlighters, because I love a good highlighter!

Colourpop cosmetics is another brand I see a lot of people raving about. I love the look of their lip glosses, they look so pretty and are relatively inexpensive. I will definitely make a purchase from them sometime in the near future.

The last thing that is on my list, is the gorgeous looking Naked Heat Palette. I love the look of this palette, and really loving all the warm tones in it. I do have a lot of warm toned  palettes already, but I feel I need to have this in my collection too!

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what beauty products are on your wish list!

Smelly things you need!

Today's post is something a little different form my usual beauty related content. It is all about smelly things!

I love to have a nice smelling home, especially in these cooler months here in Australia. My favourite type of scent is something with vanilla, but I do occasionally try other scents.

I want to share a few of my favourite products that I use to keep my house smelling pretty.

Glasshouse Candele in Tahaa

First of all, I want to share with you one of my favourite candle companies, Glasshouse Fragrances. If you haven't bought from then yet, the I highly recommend them! My all time favourite scent is Tahaa, which is a beautiful  rich Vanilla Caramel scent. It is not over powering at all and really makes your home smell gorgeous. I also love their Christmas range, the scents are always amazing!

Next I want to talk about another 'smelly' company, Scentsy. I recently became a consultant for this company, after trying a sample through a friend. I was instantly in love and have been obsessed ever since!

Just a sample of the great products they have to offer

Scentsy have so many gorgeous products, but the wax bars are by far the most popular! My favourite scents at the moment are Vanilla Bean Buttercream and Black Raspberry Vanilla, but with over 80 scents to choose from, it's so hard to pick just one! Also, the warmers they have are just so pretty, with many designs to choose from to suit your style. If you want to see the full range, click here!

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you have any 'smelly' things you love!

Thanks for reading, talk soon 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
