The Week #1 27/02/2015

Hi all!

I am starting the a new series on my blog this week! I have decided to get back into blogging!

I am not sure if many of you would know this but I have recently started working full time. My life has changed so much in the last few months and I am very grateful for the change. 

The latest book I have read. 

The Book: 

The Fallen Crest High Series - Tijan. I have recently read the whole series and boy was it addictive! I can't say that is the most realistic book series as the main character finds herself living with the richest and the most popular boys in town. Though not going to lie they are some of my favourite kind of books. 

The Show: 

My new housemate and I have been watching Doctor Who. I want her to get home so we can watch more but I know we are up to "The Empty Child" and that gave me nightmares in 2005! 

Sonia's Hair! I got better. I promise.

The Hair: 

The doughnut! I have finally semi mastered the art of rolling the hair doughnut to make a super cute bun. I attempted on my housemate and after trying on someone elses hair it became a lot easier. 

The Random: 

Kale and I. 

I went to a wedding on the 21st of February. My cousin got Andrew got married to his beautiful bride. I was very honoured to be invited it was a stunning wedding. It might have made me a little excited for the day I get married one day.

New products April 2014 #1

Hey all

This week I recently got some new Clinque products. I went for cult favourites really, I'm sure you have all heard of them.  I had to share anyway I am that excited. 

Firstly I got Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. I have been lusting after this ever since I finished my Antipodes Grapeseed butter Cleanser. This one is talked about a lot in the blog and YouTube world, so was something I just had to try myself. I recently have felt lost with my skin care routine as my skin is slowly becoming more like it's normal self after treatment (minus the acne, for now). It can feel like I am not taking care of it properly do I am excited to have a new high end product to motivate me with taking better care of my skin. 

The other talked about product I picked up is the Bottom Lash Mascara. I'm awful with putting mascara on my bottom lashes and when I try I don't think it looks any good, I'm hope this mascara will make me a pro while giving my eyes an extra pop. This isn't an essential product to anyone's makeup collection but I am worth it, right? 

I also got two samples while I was there and they are the clarifying lotion and the liquid facial soap. I haven't heard that much about either of these products. Only that my mother raves about the lotion. Looking forward to trying them out and letting you know how they are.

Where have I been?

Hey all

You may have noticed that I haven't posted in a while. There is a reason behind this and that is someone told me that my writing sometimes doesn't make sense. I have never a great English student and have always preferred to speak than write, so I have been too nervous to post. I know it wasn't someone trying to hurt me when they said it and that they are only trying to improve my blog but it still made me not feel like posting. I have plenty of post ready to go and can be posted at any minute but because I hadn't gotten them checked by someone who is better at writing then me, I haven't posted. 

I am done being too scared to post. I am human, I'm allowed to make mistakes. So if you see something that does't make sense tell me but that isn't going to stop me sharing with you anymore. 

Also you have seen I have been posting on YouTube still there has been three new videos since I last posted on here I will write little posts to accompany the videos soon. 

Love you!

I'm Moving!

Hey all,

I feel like I have been all about updates lately sorry! I am moving so I thought I would keep you updated and let you all know I have put most of my make up into boxes for the move. I still have some in make up bags of course, so I can do my make up still! I have more than I need for an everyday face though , ooops. I am thinking I will do a 'whats in my make up bag video?' would you be interested?

That's pretty much all! I don't know where I am moving to yet which is concerning considering the day we need to be gone is fast approaching. I will keep you posted on that! When we do finally find a place I was thinking of doing some moving vlogs as I really enjoy them and I want to get into some vlogging as I really enjoy vlog videos.

Shameless Selfies #1

Hi all!
So if you follow me on instagram (beauty, personal) you may know I am a fan of the selfie! If I like my make up, bored or just feeling happy I will tend to start a photo shoot. May sound silly but I am sure everyone reading this has done it at least a few times! How else are you going to show the world how good your winged eye liner turned out? I thought it would be fun to share some of my recent selfies so you can get to know me and see my crazy side a bit more. Also if this means you will recognise me in the street so be it.

Make up free and simply showing off how long my hair is now

 Another make up free picture this is just one to show how much clearer my skin has become

Hope you enjoyed my selfies I am sure I will be posting more in the future!

New Products September 2013

I have recently been using some new products and I thought I would share them with you!

 The Antipodes Grapeseed Butter Cleanser. Also the Clinque Perfectly Real Make Up.

I plan to review these some time soon when I use these. 

I have been using the Clinque for about a month now. The cleanser I have only be using for around a week now. These are two luxury products that will cost a lot of money to re-purchase if I choose to. I will keep you in the loop about them.

Lust Have It

Last month after getting my Lust Have It box I decided that I would end my subscription. The box wasn't that bad don't get me wrong I am enjoying some of the products like the hand sanitizer and the hair bands. However I don't feel like I wanted to continue. For one I am going overseas at the end of the year and I really need to save and since I wasn't completely happy with Lust Have It, it was one logical think to stop paying for. Also the main thing that really stopped me from continuing was that they didn't tell me they were taking the money out of my account so I had already moved all my money to my saving making the first attempt of payment fail. If I had known it was coming out I would have left the amount in my account and most likely still be subscribed. I just became annoyed with the process and since I was already getting disappointed each month I made the choice to stop getting Lust Have It.

I am still subscribed to Bellabox and I will maybe continue with my subscription next year when I am working full time. If I use up a lot of my samples.

Makeup Wipe Monday #3

I just want to start with saying how hyped up these make up wipes are. I think it is hard to watch an empties video on YouTube without seeing them pop up. I really like the brand simple and have blogged about them before (make up remover) so I was excited to try the wipes.
These are just flat wipes which is not my favourite but they are a thick material which makes up for that. They are reasonably moist and I would go as far to say that they take off a full face of make up. There is a slight scent to them but it's not a fragrance which is good for sensitive skin. Simple aim to be usable  for sensitive skin and I agree these wipes don't Irritate my skin at all.

Would I buy them again? Yes I would. However for every time I need make up wipes as these are about $7 for a pack of 25. Which isn't that expensive however for a poor uni student it's on the pricier side of wipes. However Simple is always on sale somewhere.

Spotlight Sunday #7 Organi Organic Honey Peel

It is almost gone but you can slightly see it is a gel. 

So if you have been reading my blog you know I am currently on medication that dries out my skin. This product is amazing at getting rid of dry skin. You literally just rub the gel into your skin and you feel the dead skin forming into balls. It sounds so gross but your skin feels so much softer and smoother after. I like to do this at least once a week and so does my boyfriend! I love doing this before a big night out as your make up applies and looks a lot better. It can also be used as a slight spot treatment as it helps to get rid of dryness on break outs. It also claims to hypo-allergenic and I'm down with that.

The only negatives about this product is this the price and availability. I paid $60 for this product but that was on sale while my sister (who also loves it!) paid almost double  at over $100. Also I have never been one to pay that much on skincare but I just love it and it is almost gone. There is a high chance of me buying this product again.

This there a skin peel you like?

Priceline Haul! 40% off Skincare Sale

So there was the sale at Priceline....
I was failed pretty hard at controlling myself. I was planning a maximum of $50 I spent almost $70.

This is a picture of the complete collection.

Sukin Antioxidant Eye Serum:
I love the Sukin brand they are Australian and Organic so is a brand one I want to use more of. The eye serum is something I really wanted to try as my Medication is making me get little lines under my eyes so an eye cream and serum I feel will Hydrate and make under my eyes hot look so horrid. The price was originally $19.99 and I got it for $11.99.

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Eye Cream:
Once again i got this eye cream because I have been worried about under my eyes. Burt's Bees is also a natural brand which is something that has been interesting me lately. 99% of the cream is natural which
a go since it was reduced from $39.99 to 23.99. I love me a bargain.  If you look in the picture it comes out like piped icing or cream! My friend Maddy Recommended this to me also.

Hydraluron Moisture Booster
There is been a lot of positive reviews and hype about this product. Once again I got this because of my dry skin and Thought it would be good to to help keep it hydrated while I am on my drying out medication. I am really excited to try this and maybe some of the other products from the brand if I think they are as good the hype.

Hydratherapy Replenishing Eye Cream
This eye cream I have never heard anything about it really an impulse buy. I saw the price online and decided when I went in I had to have it. I am hoping this is a reasonable eye cream however it doesn't bother me if it isn't the best as I am happy to just try it. I paid about $4 for this so I am interested in if their is any results.

Rosken Skin Repair High Potency Vitamin E Cream
I wanted to get this as Vitamin E is amazing for your skin and is good for healing skin. I am thinking of using this on my face and body to help with stretch marks, dry patches and scares. My father last year got some pretty serious burns and Vitamin E creams was a huge part of the healing process.

Swisspers Cucumber 5 refreshing facial Cleansing Wipes
I am always looking for make up wipes, These were .89 cents so I couldn't say no!

Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes
I have never tried these wipes but they have had hype on YouTube for a while now so I thought I would give them a try so I can review them for you!

Flashback Friday: New Series Starting Soon!

So this week I annoyed pretty much all my friends on Facebook. As I decided it would be fun to create a new series on my blog and potentially on my Youtube also. So I went through all my old tagged photos and saved ones I like or ones that I thought were funny/ different to now.  Featuring my make up looks that I used wear. Some I still like and should recreate as I still believe they are flattering while others I do not understand how I thought that looked good. I will give you guys a hint of my old taste lots and lots of black eye liner. It is crazy how different my taste in make up had become. So brace yourselves for the make up fails of the past.

5th February 2013- Eye Brows

Eye Brows

I recently purchased the Jordana Brow/ Eye Shadow in Brunette. if you saw my recent haul then you will know I purchased it from the website beauty joint. I have fairly dark eye brows that I am strict on grooming. However I think that using this powder defines my eyebrows more. I am not always going to wear eyebrow powder as this is only for a made up look. For more natural looks I will not be wearing this. I am going to when I looking for a complete look. Here are pictures of my brows with the powder on. Leave me a comment if you use brow powder!

8th December 2012- The Love of My Life

There are not really any words that can describe the love I have for Lucas’ papaw ointment. I think nearly everyone in Australia has this,(I literally sold it to a five year old this week!). My lips have always been on the dry side so having products like this necessary. I used to love Vaseline as a child but I find this is better and more multi purpose  I use this on cuts, dry hands, chaffing’s, elbows and honestly anywhere I feel I think is dry or will amuse my small mind. I just think it is a must in everyone’s lives. If you don’t have this I would seriously wonder if you have been living under a rock as this is a cult product. I carry around the large 75g tub as I always loose the tube I think I have only every finished two tubes in my life as I lose it so quickly. The tub will last such a long time too compared to the tube so I love carrying around the tub in my large bag taking it everywhere I go!

3rd December 2012- Miss Dior Eau De Parfum

Miss Dior Eau De Parfum

You have to smell this and buy it. End of story really! this is an awesome scent which is sophiscated but sexy and sweet at the same time. This my favourite perfume from my collection and the one I reach for if I am going out somewhere special or I need just need to feel special. It is expensive but makes a lovely gift if someone is willing to pay the price or if you have cash to burn.

Now get it! Christmas is soon so you could always ask for it.

8th of October 2013- Ulta3 Nail Polishes

Hi, 
For you who don’t know the brand Ulta3 they are a make up company that makes Lipsticks, pencils, nail polishes, eye shadows, blush, foundations and powders. There are available at Available at Terry White Chemists, Blooms the Chemist, Good Price Pharmacy Ulta3 can also be found at select Coles, Woolworths, and Target stores. I currently have 3 of the nail polishes I them all from Coles and they were all $2. The quality of the nail polishes is pretty amazing for the price. They are worth a lot more than $2 in my opinion and the price makes me want to be buy more of their products to build up my nail polish. You do need to two coats of the nail polish to get the desired looked but most nail polishes are the same so this is not a down side to the nail polish. The nail polish does last and comes in a large variety of colours. So I really recommend their nail polishes and will be buying more soon.

15th October 2012- Maybelline Baby Lips Glow

Hey all

I never expected to love this product so much. I have the mixed berry one and it smells pretty good. I purchased this one as I thought it might have colour like the ones you see the beauty gurus from the US have. I was right the glow series have colour. This one is in a subtle pink which looks so cute. I love the colour it looks so natural but noticeable enough to be seen.

When I first opened this product I thought it wasn’t coloured and I put it all over my lips and slightly over as my lips are always extremely dry. I then was shocked when I looked in the mirror to see that I in fact did have colour. So be warned it does look like slightly try is a clear balm when you open it. It gradually gets more noticeable in time. Also the more you put on logically makes it becomes noticeable. So I recommend as soon as you notice your lips getting slightly dry lips put more on to have soft and tinted lips.
