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

BYS Highlighting Palette Review

One brand that I have been loving lately is BYS Cosmetics. Their products are so beautiful and also very inexpensive. Recently they announced that they are now cruelty free, which is amazing!
They have also released a whole range of products, that look really great as well as being dupes for higher end products.

I have the Berries palette, which is a great dupe for the ABH Modern Renaissance palette.
Anyway, for todays post I want to review and swatch for you of the new Highlight palette.
The Palette has 5 shades, Glam, Glisten, Gleam, Golden and Glimmer.

What BYS Says about the product:

"Instantly enhance your complexion with BYS Highlight Palette. Formulated with the finest pearlescent powder, these five highly pigmented, multi-dimensional shades offer rich colour payoff for a fresh and radiant glow."

The shades swatch really well, and have great pigmentation. The glow they give your skin is so pretty. I like to use the pink one as a blush, I just love that little extra glow.

I am very impressed with this palette and the price is only $19.95 which is amazing for s highlight shades. I also love the fact that the palette comes with a mirror, I think that is a great addition.

You do also get a cute little brush with this palette too, which works really well with these colours.

I hope you enjoyed this review, and let me know if you have tried this product, I would love to know your thoughts!

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!

Favourite Products for the Month of May

I cannot believe how quick this year is flying by! We are almost halfway through the year, it's unbelievable. With the end of the month having approached us, I wanted to share with you what makeup and beauty products I was loving for the month of May. Honestly, I don't really change up my makeup too much, but I do occasionally purchase new products to try.

Firstly I will start with a primer. The one that I have been using lately is the BYS Cosmetics primer spray. This product is great for priming your skin, and is very easy to use. It dries  very quickly and is great for those who like to save time when applying makeup.

For my foundation, I found myself mostly using Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I love how it gives me a really flawless finish without leaving my skin too oily.

Onto the next products I will talk about is the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette and the Peach glow Blush Palette. Ever since I purchased these two items, I have been using them every day. I love the buttery smooth texture of the eyeshadow and how pigmented they are. The same can be said for the blush. I love how it gives me a gorgeous peach glow!

I have been loving dry shampoo recently, it's great for those days in between washes! I've been using one from Batiste in the scent eden. It's such a lovely sweet scent and gives my hair a bit of life!

I only have one other product to share this month, and that is a nail product. I really love coppery, rose gold shades and when I saw this nail polish by Sally Hansen, I had to get it. It's the gel polish in number 660 - Terra Copper and it's a stunning colour. With these polishes, you don't need a UV light, and the colour lasts just as long as a gel polish. Worth checking out if you haven't already.

So that was the products I was loving for the month of may. As you can see there really wasn't a lot of products, but they were the ones I used mostly.

Hope you enjoyed reading, let me know which products you were loving for the month of may, I would love to know.

Talk soon xx

What makes me Blush!

Today I decided that I wanted to share my current favourite blushers and bronzers! I never used to be much of a blush person to be honest, but these days there are just so many lovely blush and bronzer products, that it's hard not to have a few!

So getting straight into it, my most resent blush purchase is one from Covergirl. It's the Tru Blend Blush in the colour 200 - Medium Rose. It has a marbled look to it and even though it looks a bit shimmery, I find it has more of a satin finish.  It's quite pigmented, so you don't need a lot to add colour to your face. A great blush for everyday use!

Onto my next blush, and it's from Too Faced Cosmetics. It's the Sweet Peach Glow Palette and it's amazing! IT has a blush, bronzer and highlighter all in the same palette and the colours are just stunning. I do particularly like the blush on it's own, I love the texture and the pigmentation is great! This has become my go to blush palette, and I love the peach scent it has!

I have a few blushers that are part of a a trio. The next one I want to mention is the Maybelline Master Contour Kit. It has the three colours, the bronzer, highlighter and blush. I love the blush in this palette, it's a very subtle pink colour and buildable too.

This one is very similar to the Maybelline one, with the tones being a bit more on the warmer side. It's the Rimmel London Contour kit in 002 Coral Glow. The blush in this palette is really nice, and is a more coral colour than pink. This is also a very pigmented colour, so a little does go a long way!

I love the Body Shop products and this bronzer is definitely a favourite of mine. It is called Shimmer waves, and has the perfect amount of shimmer in it without being too overpowering. The colour is quite pigmented too, so you don't need a lot to make an impact.

 Hope you enjoyed this pose, let me know which Blushers/Bronzers you are loving!
