Hey Gorgeous People,
I have been using Blogger since the very beginning to post for my blog. But recently, I found out about WordPress and I just think that this will be a better platform for me to continue my blog.
I really hope that you all don't mind the switch, I just think that it will make it easier for you guys to maneuver around the site and it will just be better.
I also hope that you all follow me over there and don't feel like you have to stop reading because of the change.
I am so thankful for all your support and continued interest and I can't wait to continue this amazing journey with you all!
Love you all so much,
Immy Minette

August 2017: My Favourites
Hey Gorgeous People,
Another month has flown by! It feels so strange that it is coming up to the end of the year so fast. I hope you've all had amazing years so far and, if not, I hope it gets better.
I know this post is a day late but I have family suddenly come up from Adelaide to visit and I have been trying to spend as much time as possible with them seeing as I don't see them as often as I would like.

I know this post is a day late but I have family suddenly come up from Adelaide to visit and I have been trying to spend as much time as possible with them seeing as I don't see them as often as I would like.
But let's get straight to it!
Makeup
Morphe 35T 35 Colour Taupe Eyeshadow Palette:
I cannot stress enough how absolutely AMAZING this Morphe eyeshadow palette is. Firstly the colours are beautiful and the pigment is enough to make you cry tears of joy. Secondly, for the amount of product you get, the price is so affordable (which I love!). I'll do a review of it soon for you all.

Mario Badescu Facial Spray:
If you can remember, the two face mists from this brand were in my favourites list from July. They are still amazing and my opinion has not budged even a little.
Clothing
Because we are currently packing to move house, I don't really have any favourite clothes. They are all on pretty equal levels. Also, it's coming into spring here in Australia so the weather can be a bit temperamental.
TV Shows
Broad City (Stan):
I put Stan in brackets just so you know where you can find the show if it interests you.
Broad City, which is definitely targeted for ages 15 and up (I think), is hilarious! It's about two women living in New York and they just have a bit of a wild life. I think that it is an amazing show but the topics that get discussed on the show are definitely aimed for a more mature audience. It is definitely worth the watch!

Brooklyn Nine-Nine:
I've gotten back into re-watching TV shows that I binge watched a while ago. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is just a hilarious cop show and ... there isn't much more to say about it! It is so good and it is definitely in my top 10 TV shows.
Movies
Moana:
I watched Moana for the first time a few days ago ... and I LOVED it! The singing, the comedy, the plot, the animation! I love when an animation is really well done and this was one of them. If you haven't watched it (and I know I am super late to watch it), I recommend it completely!

Too-Faced Peanut Butter & Honey Eyeshadow Palette: Honey Buns Look
Hey Gorgeous People,
It's the final one! Well ... probably not, but this is the last post on the suggested eyeshadow looks in the Too-Faced Peanut Butter & Honey palette. I'll play around with this palette a little more hopefully, but you can see those photos on my Instagram at @immyminette. So let's get on with it shall we.
Firstly, I press Creamed Honey from lashes to brow bone and blend Honey Buns into my crease.

Firstly, I press Creamed Honey from lashes to brow bone and blend Honey Buns into my crease.
Next, I smoke Going Nuts into the inner and outer lid. I think if I re-do this look, I need to be a bit more careful in this step because it does look a bit messy.
Lastly, it says to press Bee's Knees into the centre of the eyelid and the lower lash line.
And that's the last one! I feel like my lashes got completely lost in this look so maybe I need to invest in some false lashes. If you have any good recommendations for false lashes, please comment below!
What's your opinion on this look? xx

Too-Faced Peanut Butter & Honey Eyeshadow Palette: PB & H Look
Hey Gorgeous People,
The other day I posted the first suggested look from the Too-Faced PB & H palette, so today I thought I would show you the second! I'm still tossing up which one of the looks is my favourite because the more I look at them, the more I like them.
To begin, I press Queen Bee from my brown bone to my crease and then blend Honey Brittle into the crease.
I then press Honey Buns onto the inner lid. I really wish that this yellow shade was more pigmented because I am currently obsessed with orange and yellow eyeshadows!
Lastly, it says to create a winged liner using Going Nuts and an eyeliner brush. I didn't like this step at all. If I'm going to do a winged liner for an makeup look, I like it to be very crisp and sharp. Using a powder and eyeliner brush made it look really smoky. In the future, if I was going to do a look like this, I would just use a small fluffy brush and smoke Going Nuts into the outer V of my eyes and into the lower lash line.

If the leaflet in the palette didn't say to do a winged liner with Going Nuts, this would be my favourite suggested look from the palette. It is easily adapted for day and night!

Too-Faced Peanut Butter & Honey Palette: Feeling Nutty Look
Hey Gorgeous People,
The other week I wrote a review on the Peanut Butter & Honey eyeshadow palette by Too-Faced and I mentioned that the palette came with three suggested eyeshadow looks. The first one is called Feeling Nutty and I thought I would show you how it looks!
I start of with just a little bit of base makeup on and my eyebrows filled in.
Firstly, I appled Bee Sweet from my lash line to my brow for a base to make blending the shadows easier.
Secondly, I blend Feelin' Nutty into the crease and blend it into my lower lash line for a smokier effect. Feelin' Nutty is probably one of my favourite shades from this palette mainly because it is really easy to work with and has great pigment.
Lastly, I press Honey Brittle onto my lid. This shade isn't one of my favourites because it just lacks the pigment that some of the others do. I didn't mind it too much in this look but I didn't think it was the right colour for this eyeshadow look.

I swiped on some Maybelline Great Lash mascara and it made the eyeshadow look more polished and finished.
I think what I love about this suggested eyeshadow look from the palette is that it is really simple and easy. You don't have to use a million different eyeshadows and brushes! Also, with spring coming, I think it is a really nice, bright look to just throw on in the morning. And you can even make it more dramatic by adding winged eyeliner or smoking Going nuts out into the outer V of your eyelid and down into the lower lash line.

Review: Mario Badescu Facial Sprays
Hey Gorgeous People,
Recently, I bought the two available facial sprays by Mario Badescu Skincare from Mecca Maxima.
Recently, I bought the two available facial sprays by Mario Badescu Skincare from Mecca Maxima.
The first one has aloe, herbs and rosewater, and the second has aloe, cucumber and green tea. It claims that once you have used this product, you won't want to be without it. It claims to set makeup, soothe skin in dehydrating conditions, or to give skin a quick boost. You can mist it over your face, skin and hair.
I have heard so much about this product all over Instagram and social media, and, because I do like to keep up with what is being used by currently, I went ahead and got it.
And I must say, these face spray do exactly what they say! I use it to set my makeup and my face will stay put all day, even if I'm out dancing or clubbing. I use this as well to just hydrate my face and neck when I'm not wearing makeup, especially in the morning. I haven't yet used it on my hair because I feel like it leaves a small bit of tacky residue on your face for a few minutes after application and I don't want it to make my hair look greasy, especially if I apply it in the morning.
Also, I got the smaller bottles (118ml), which are only $9, and you do get quite a bit of wear out of it. I've been using it every day with multiple applications for over a week and I've only used a centimetre down the bottle of product.
If you're looking for a super quick and easy way to hydrate and set makeup, I honestly recommend this. The hype is totally worth it!
What did you think of this product? Do you have any products like this that I should try?

Review: Too Faced Peanut Butter & Honey Eyeshadow Palette
Hey Gorgeous People,
It was my birthday last month and one of my presents was the Too Faced Peanut Butter & Honey eyeshadow palette.
It was my birthday last month and one of my presents was the Too Faced Peanut Butter & Honey eyeshadow palette.
I have wanted an yellow/mustard eyeshadow for quite a while now so I was so excited about this palette. The palette cost $52 and, even though it would've been nice to get a little more product for that cost, you are paying for the brand name as well.
Now for the review! I love all the base shades (Creamed Honey, Bee Sweet and Queen Bee) because they are all really nicely pigmented and silky. Also, Creamed Honey has a little sparkle in it which I love. The eyeshadow shades that I am really happy with and absolutely adore are Peanut Butter, Bees Knees and Feelin' Nutty because they are super pigmented and I just love the colours! I really wish that the other three (Going Nuts, Honey Brittle and Honey Buns) were a bit more pigmented because then they would all be perfect. But, unfortunately, for some reason these shades just weren't as pigmented when I tried to use them.
I tested out the three eyeshadow looks that they recommended in a little brochure/booklet thing inside the palette and when I first did them I was really not sure about them at all. But now looking at them again after a while, I actually really like them all.
If you want a little tutorial on how to do each look, I would be glad to do some posts about them.
Anyway, all-in-all it is a good palette but probably not worth $52.

July 2017: My Favourites
Hey Gorgeous People!
Another month comes and so does a blog post about my favourite things for the month. Seeing as this was my birthday month, you will finally see some new favourites, hallelujah! I hope you like these and comment below what your favourite beauty products, clothing items, TV shows or movies.
Rimmel Match Perfection Silky Loose Face Powder:
Mario Badescu Facial Spray:
I don't even know how to express in words my love for these mists! Not only do they set your makeup, they just refresh your skin and hydrates. They are perfect for a quick boost of hydration throughout the day. Once again, they really helped to make my makeup last all night when I went out dancing the other night.

Makeup
Too Faced 'Peanut Butter & Honey' Eyeshadow Palette:
I will do a proper review of this palette soon but I really do love this! I got it for my birthday earlier this month and I have been playing around with different looks all month. For $52, I can understand the appeal because it has really beautiful shades.

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara:
Oh my goodness!! I have tried quite a few mascaras but this one takes the cake! I loved the Maybelline Full n' Soft Mascara for so long but, even though it was labelled as waterproof, it would always leak and make me look a little raccoon-ish. This one is fantastic! It didn't run down my face even when I took it on the ultimate test drive - going out dancing.
Rimmel Match Perfection Silky Loose Face Powder:
Another new purchase of the month! I have only worn this once but it made my foundation just stick and stay perfectly. I thought I looked flawless all night dancing.

TV Shows
Miss Fischer's Murder Mysteries:
Who doesn't love an Australian Sherlock Holmes?! I love a good murder mystery plus Miss Fischer is such an amazing character.

Movies
James Bond 'Spectre' and 'Skyfall':
I never thought to really watch the Bond films because I never thought I'd enjoy them ... and then I saw Daniel Craig! I love them! I love me a bit of action and drama, and I can't wait to watch the other James Bond films.
What are your favourites new purchases or regular loves of the month?

19th Birthday!
Hey Gorgeous People,
Last week, on the 12th of July, it was my birthday!!
And while I am well and truly no longer the dancing queen, I had an absolutely amazing, relaxed day.
The night before my birthday, my parents gave me a gift card for Mecca Maxima! Hallelujah! I've wanted to shop there for forever! That night, I also got some gifts from my sisters - some pink bunny slippers (LOVE), Elizabeth Arden 'Sunflowers' perfume, and a lot of socks (I absolutely love socks). As if this wasn't enough, the next morning, from my parents, I got two new cardigans (one black with grey stripes and a blue one), a reddish-rose coloured dress, a stainless steel cookware set and a glass ovenware set. I had asked for the last two for when I leave home so I am a little more prepared.
That day me and three of my sisters went to Charlestown Square and of course I went to Mecca Maxima! I ended up buying the Too Faced Peanut Butter + Honey Eyeshadow Palette as well as the Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater.
Later that night, my eldest sister, and some friends came over for my birthday dinner. I got a cute lamp and a bed set, money, and a bathing set with body wash, soap, lotion and body butter.

For dinner, I really wanted to have breakfast food. So we had bacon, scrambled eggs, some stir-fried veggies, juice, waffles, strawberries, banana, ice-cream and Nutella! It was so delicious!
I had such an amazing day just relaxing with friends and family.
What is your best birthday memory? xx

Green With Envy - Makeup Look
Hey Gorgeous People,
I'm pretty sure I did a look like this with the same eyeshadow palette but I wanted to refine it and make it more wearable because I think that a look like this is actually quite classic and beautiful.
I have been really unsure about the colour green but I've read that people with blue eyes suit green eyeshadow so I also wanted to test that theory.
I started with a fresh, clean and moisturised face as one always should (check out my skincare routine here).
I'm falling back in love with this mini palettes! I recently used one by Revlon to do a smokey bronze eyeshadow look. This time, I used this green eyeshadow palette by Maybelline that I got for my birthday a few years back.
Using a round fluffy brush, I then mixed the medium and darker green shades, then blended them into the outer V of my eyelid and through my crease. I built this shade up as I didn't to completely overpower the entire look with this shade.
Then, with a more precise crease brush, I blended the black-green in the outer V of my eyelid and midway through my crease.
This wouldn't be complete without some winged eyeliner using my BYS 1 Day Tattoo Eyeliner and some Maybelline Full n' Soft Mascara.

I'm falling back in love with this mini palettes! I recently used one by Revlon to do a smokey bronze eyeshadow look. This time, I used this green eyeshadow palette by Maybelline that I got for my birthday a few years back.
Using a flat eyeshadow brush and a fluffy crease brush, I put the light green shade across my lid and blended to just above the crease.
Using a round fluffy brush, I then mixed the medium and darker green shades, then blended them into the outer V of my eyelid and through my crease. I built this shade up as I didn't to completely overpower the entire look with this shade.
Then, with a more precise crease brush, I blended the black-green in the outer V of my eyelid and midway through my crease.
To highlight, I used the palest highlight shade beneath the black-green with a flat eyeshadow brush across the inner corner of my eye and then onto the mid section of eyelid.
This wouldn't be complete without some winged eyeliner using my BYS 1 Day Tattoo Eyeliner and some Maybelline Full n' Soft Mascara.
I then did the rest of my normal face makeup and some Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick in Shade 35 Rebel Red.
So I guess the theory is right because I absolutely love this! Now I just have to find an outfit to suit it. Any ideas?
