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.

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!

Review: Mario Badescu Facial Sprays

Hey Gorgeous People,

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

Chokers For Days!

Hey Gorgeous People,

I have always been sceptical but curious of the whole choker trend. I remember as a young kid seeing my older sisters with those stretchy plastic ones and I just couldn't imagine that they would be that comfortable. But I was on one of my many trips to KMart and they had a pack of 3 chokers that actually looked quite nice so I thought I would buy them and try them out. Of course, I didn't expect any great amount of quality from KMart but they didn't turn out too bad.

As you can see, all three of them are fabric chokers and not the plastic ones. This was just my preference because I like the way they look over the twisted plastic ones.

The first one is a thin suede band with a gold coloured ring in the centre. I really liked this one when I first saw it, and still do, but the points where the band is folded around the centre ring is slightly off centre so you can see the folded over edges on the back. I don't mind just snipping these bits off though. Chokers are surprisingly comfortable but I was unsure as to whether they were supposed to sit at the bottom of my neck or a little higher up. It ended slipping down to the bottom of my neck anyway.

The second is a burgundy coloured suede band that is a little thicker than the previous choker. I love this colour so much and always have so I was so glad there was a choker like this in the pack.

The third choker is a plan black, thick band of a fabric that I can't really identify. It feels like plastic fabric basically. But it is still comfortable and I ended up not really noticing that I even had a choker on.

I think chokers are a really great addition to many outfits just because it is simple and can change the whole dynamic of an outfit when compared to a necklace. I found that I felt that my neck was slimmer and longer when I was wearing a choker, which I really enjoy even though it may not look any different to a passerby.

What is your opinion on chokers?

April 2017: My Favourites

Hey Gorgeous People,

So April is almost over and I wanted to just give you my opinion on some of the makeup I've been using, clothes I've been wearing, and movies/TV shows I've been watching this month.

Makeup

L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation (Rose Ivory):
I got this product for 30% off and I have been wanting to try this foundation for a long time now. I've done a full review of this product, which you can see here, but I must say that this is a favourite and I would definitely recommend it.

BH Cosmetics Natural Eye Palette:
3 words is all I need - I LOVE IT!

Starlet Pressed Powder:
Now I would definitely NOT recommend this product. It makes me look quite ashy and the product is so hard to get out of the pan without ruining your powder brush. I have tried using sponges and an array of brushes, but it is still so difficult. 3/10.

Clothes

Temt Burgundy Ribbed Bodysuit:
It is super comfortable and really flattering. It is really good quality for such a low price.

KMart Black High Top Canvas Shoes:
I wear these shoes almost every day to uni and they have lasted really well and are quite comfortable.

Corset Story Corsets:
Okay, I bought these for such a bargain because of a clearance sale and they are absolutely beautiful. I got an underbust corset and then a full corset, both black with a black lace design on them. They are super simple and elegant plus I saved over $250 for them!

Movies/TV Shows

Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2:
Oh my goodness ... this movie was absolutely fantastic and I could watch it much more often. Such clever special effects and really amazing casting!

Chewing Gum:
 While this TV show may be more suited for an older audience, it was so hilarious and just showed the reality of a girl in her situation. I loved it so much and binge watched all available episodes in a day! Don't judge me; they are only 20 minutes long so it was easy!


The Crown:
 I admit I was late to catch the train of this enthralling TV show. I love historical dramas and this really hit the nail on the head for me. Also, I love Matt Smith so that was a bonus. Claire Foy is also a remarkable actress! 11/10!

New Do!

Hey Gorgeous People,

So a couple of days ago I finally decided to get my act together and get my hair cut. Now I had been pestering my mum to take me to anyone with scissors and a mirror until I finally caught wind of a new hair salon just down the road. (I will leave details down below for anyone living in the general Morisset/Cooranbong, NSW, Australia area).

I was very cautious about going to a home salon because I had only ever been to proper hair salons in shopping centres. But as soon as I got there, the lady was so lovely and she did a wonderful job.

So I just wanted to show you all the before and after of my new hairdo's!!

Before!

After!









(sorry about the lack of makeup)





I am completely in love with my new hairstyle and I just can't wait to do some cool hairstyles to it to show you guys :)

Don't forget to go check out some of my other posts!
Comment below and tell me what you think of my new hair.
