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?

How I Store: Scarves

Hey Gorgeous People,

I recently started to change around how I stored my things in my room and I thought I would share some little tricks or just what I did when I stored my clothes, shoes etc.

So I used to not really know how to store my scarves. I didn't want to fold them and have them take up heaps of room in my drawers but hanging them over the rail in my closet was just too bulky. Especially since I decided to start hanging up jumpers and long-sleeved tops in my closet as well.

I saw different tricks on Pinterest but they either meant you had to go buy a scarf holder or buy different products to make one yourself. I, however, needed the same result but on a budget of ... $0.

So this is what I decided...

It is super easy, super simply and you will, most likely, already have a spare coathanger hanging around! I just tied them all around and it took up a sixth of the space!

And it doesn't matter if you only have 6 scarves like me or if you have 60! This method would still cut the space used by hanging scarves in half, at least. 

How do you store your scarves? What tips and tricks do you use to minimise clutter in your closet or drawers?

For more information on living frugally and being thrifty, I really recommend the thrifty home-making chronicles of Mr. Home Maker.
