Today's post is a review of the Romantic Eye Palette by Too Faced Cosmetics. I lusted after this little beauty for an age before finally caving and picking it up on sale at beautybay.com :) - keep reading for more photos and swatches! ...
In my search to widen my matte eyeshadow collection, I came across Stila's "in the Know" palette. I already have the "In the Garden" palette which I love so i thought what the hell? It also helps that I managed to pick it up on BeautyBay.com on sale =^_^= ...
Today's QHG post is a skincare product that has gradually and quite sneakily made its way into my everyday routine and now I can't live without it...... it's the Cleanance Mask by Avene! ...
An age ago Kat ordered the Sigma Eye Shadow Bases soon after they were released as they looked like promising, cheaper versions of MAC's Paint Pots. She ever so graciously brought them into work for me to to try and then I forgot about them for a few months. Then last week I remembered them and asked Kat if I could borrow them...
Onto part two of the Aussie Drugstore Beauty Haul! ...
A while ago I picked up the famous Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz (from Net-a-Porter) in Medium Ash, here's my thoughts... ...
I often see drugstore (aka chemist) brand haul videos and blog posts from other beauty bloggers on the interwebz that just make me green with envy at the brands they have access to in such affordable price ranges! (you wanna buy Revlon here, good luck getting it under $10) ...
*UPDATE* - so I FINALLY got through all the posts on my blog and re-uploaded all the images. Let me know if you stumble on a post that has a broken image so I can fix that up too :) Google+ broke all my image links :( - sorry guys I have to go manually add all the links for ALL THE IMAGES...
So this was a quick look I want to try on my gorgeous bestie Gen - she has these big jade green eyes that I thought would just look awesome with the rust brown/teal duochrome of Insomnia pigment. ...
It's here!! I first spied this palette back at the beginning of the year in the Backstage photos post on the RBR blog and spent the next few months waiting for it to emerge. As soon as it did, I snapped one up right away! Below are my first impressions / initial review. (p.s its pic heavy) ...
I recently hauled some goodies from snet which included this super cute Cargo limited edition kit. This particular kit has been out for a while now and is no longer available on the Cargo site but can be picked up at various 3rd party sites/distributors - mine cost $26AUD from strawberrynet.com I've previously only tried Cargo's liquid foundation but had read great things...
Please note - this is full of sugary deliciousness and not waistline friendly at all LOL but soooo worth it! ...
Time for another Quickie Holy Grail post!! Today it's MAC Fix+ spray! ...
As you all know, morning person I am not. So my morning routine is about as wham-bam-thank-you-mam as it gets LOL - the makeup that is, not the post - sorry it's a bit long! ...
While browsing the interwebz the other day I stumbled across the Net-a-Porter Beauty Summer kit. after some further investigating i found the version available for Australia, which while it wasn't completely the same it had enough of the same products that I was interested. AND it was only $50 compared to the $75 for the US kit!! So of course I scooped it...
Hellooooo!!! Long time no blog! So my day job has been super hectic lately as I recently got the opportunity to act in a higher position :) which I know shouldn't be an excuse it totally is BUT I've been learning so much and doing so many new, exciting and slightly stressful tasks at work, that by the time I get home I'm...
Today I've got a QHG post about my fave glitter eyeliner of all time. ...
For a while I've been meaning to go through all of my Rouge Bunny Rouge products as so many of them are favourites. But until I can get to each one and do an in-depth review post, I thought I might tantalise you with a sampler/preview of what's to come! ...
It's finally here! Sorry for the delay but my haul was delivered in two parts and the second parcel took just a tad longer to get here. ...
Ok so this isn't going to be a "normal" product comparison/review between two palettes as I haven't actually purchased either item. In fact I'm turning to you guys for your advice and opinions so I can decide which way to go. Help! ...
This month's lustables are a combination of makeup and tech! ...
As we head into the cooler months here in the southern hemisphere, gone are the bright, crazy festival eye makeups and the bronzed beach-goddess skin and say hello to sumptuous berry stained lips, clear, translucent perfected skin and flushed, wind-kissed cheeks! (and leg warmers!) ...
Hey guys thought I'd just put up a quickie HG post today for one of my hair care products I just can't live without :) It"s the Chroma Riche Reflection Fluid leave in serum by Kerastase! ...
A solid nude pink is one of my fave nail polishes and probably the one I run out of the most (along side black). So when I was in Target the other day and I stumbled across this lovely shade called English Rose from the new Rimmel series/range "Brit Manicure" I just had to snap it up. ...
A while ago I was killing time in Myers, swatching away with careless abandon LOL when I stumbled over this eye shadow quad at the Chanel stand. It was lust at first swatch! For some reason I just couldn't get past one intriguing purple shade and decided I needed to make it mine. ...
After much prodding by my friend Kat, I finally got around to doing a "my makeup collection" post! Although it turned out more like "my makeup organisation", I hope you guys still find it interesting! ...
...
Here are this month's lusatbles!! Honestly I struggled to come up with much after splurging last month on my birthday - scarily I'm a lil shopped out LOL. Anywho a few of these are items I need to restock and others are long time lemmings that I haven't got around to purchasing. ...
Hey guys! Yes, I too fell down the La Roche Posay rabbit hole after watching Lisa Eldridge's "french pharmacy favourites" skincare post on the interwebz lol. ...
Just a quick, gulp size post today! ...
So my friends and I were chatting the other day about using a 3rd party postal service in order to buy MAC cosmetic products from the US as the MAC US store does not ship to Australia. Why not just buy from the MAC Australia store you ask? Well because on average you are paying.2-3 x the retail price of the US site...

Brand new cruelty free brushes by Sugarpill are now available! So adorable! And a lush limited edition shadow called Smitten! Described as: Smitten is a shimmery hot magenta loaded with reflective sparks (not the cheesy-looking glitter stuff)! Looks equally bad ass on eyes, lips, and cheeks, mixed with lip gloss or nail polish, whatever your little pink heart desires! This limited edition color...
Let's be honest, as much as I love dramatic full face makeup and using all my brushes when possible, on the mornings I bother wearing makeup to work I just don't have the time or energy. I am seriously NOT a morning person LOL. ...
It arrived!!!! *does a happy dance* My new P&J blush is here and is so adorable!! Love the packaging so much! Such a shame I smeared half the gorgeous design in my over zealous attempts at swatching :( ...
So I thought I'd share a few of the beauty items I'm currently lusting for this month! ...
- review of the Louise Young Eyeshadow Palette 1 available on beautybay.com for $59.80 - more after the jump ...
Just got an email today from Rouge Bunny Rouge, one of my all time fave brands (which reminds me I need to do a "see my stash" post of all my RBR goodies! - soon I promise) that more items have been added to their Winter Sale. ...
After my last post mentioning Black Friday deals (yeah, yeah I know it's January LOL) I found a mini review I did ages ago about Concrete Minerals Naughty & Nice collection that I got in a haul! ...
My only haul this past Black Friday was one I had actually waited all year for - Sugarpill's. Flamepoint palette, Sweetheart palette, Frostbitten trio, Atomic trio and Paperdoll I missed the sale back in 2012 by a mere 48hrs (being here in Aussieland I didn't really take notice of Black Friday sales dates) and was sufficiently devastated >=( . However I swore 2013...
After work yesterday I decided to finally trawl the stock take sale leftovers at Myer's in hopes of scooping up a beauty bargain. After work yesterday I decided to finally trawl the stock take sale leftovers at Myer's in hopes of scooping up a beauty bargain. ...
HUZZAH!!! My Rouge Bunny Rouge samples finally arrived today!!!! (btw screw you Australia Post for totally lying about the date on you "attempted" to drop off my parcel). After an incredibly lovely conversation about which foundation would suit my skin tone in the Skin Sanctuary range with an RBR customer service rep, they recommended I should try some samples first prior to placing...
Today I wanted to do a quick post about NYX now being sold in Target Australia!! YAY!! I noticed the stand about a week ago in my local Target store and did a complete about-face-double-take and nearly fell over in my surprise LOL. Today I wanted to do a quick post about NYX now being sold in Target Australia!! YAY!! I noticed the...
Pre-apologies for the super long post! ...
I first stumbled across the Succulence of Dew Sheer Lipsticks by RBR while browsing Shameless Fripperies blog. To be honest I was actually trawling Karima's gorgeous blog in search of RBR eye shadow swatches after reading all the hype splashed across the make up blogosphere in an attempt to justify my - let's be honest - impending spending guilt. So after many weeks...
