JORD Wood Watches Hey guys, something a little different today. I was lucky enough to be contacted by a couple of months ago by JORD Wood Watches to choose a watch from their beautiful watch collection. The interesting thing about JORD is that their watches are handmade from wood - yes, that is right... WOOD. I was intrigued and chose the absolutely stunning Koa &...

Tuesday Thoughts #6 - Wedding planning, Melbourne trip and losing weight!
November 24, 2015 Hello again! I hope the last few weeks have not been as stressful as mine have been! I'm a graduated lady now (kinda...). I officially graduate on the 9th of December, but really I'm all done now. I finished my last exam on the 2nd of November, but I already passed the subject so I wasn't stressed at all for it - thank...
The hotter months are coming and with that comes the influx of brighter and fresher lip colours. I am a total sucker for a beautiful bright lip and I couldn't resist showing you guys my top 5 lip product picks for the Summer months! If you want to see my picks, just keep reading! ...
As you all (should) know by now, Sephora Australia officially has a website where those of us less fortunate and don't live near to an actual store can purchase from! Hoorah! Basically, the website was previously known as Luxola.com, but is now known as sephora.com.au (click here!!!). I was lucky enough to be contacted by their marketing team and given the opportunity to try...
I haven't really delved too deep into the Bite Beauty world, but I know that their products are highly raved about throughout the beauty blogging world. Bite Beauty is a really innovative brand with all the lip products created so you could technically eat them. Yes... you heard correct, eat them. They are made with food-grade ingredients, so if you were really hungry...
For the last month and a bit I've been using the Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser on a daily basis as my night time cleanser with my Clarisonic. I've been intrigued with Biores' entire Charcoal range since they released them not too long ago, because they are meant to cleanse "deeper" than regular cleansers. Read on if you would like to know my...
I was super lucky to have been contacted by the Australian PR company for NYX and was given the opportunity to try out these new colour mascaras they were launching. Here are some basic deets - these mascaras can ONLY be purchased online through the Target Australia website and they retail for $12.95 OR you can get a five pack bundle like the...
Now I've never been a skincare lover. I do the basic and barely ever adventure into the serum or fancy skincare world. I purchased the Indeed Laboratories Hydraluron serum awhile ago and have only recently starting to implement it into my nighttime skincare routine this past winter to help combat my ridiculously dry and scaly winter skin. Read on if you want to...
So... woops. It's been a while since I've actually written a Tuesday Thoughts post and I can't really give an excuse. Sometimes trying to manage so many things in life gets a bit stressful and you really just need to take a step back and breathe. My partner and I have been hiking all the time lately. Literally every week. I've just been...
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have a moon face. My face shape is round and my cheeks are chubby. I cannot have my makeup done and NOT do something on my cheeks. Whether it be bronzer, contour or blush - I need something to give my face some actual shape so it actually resembles a humans face. You...
The Becca Shimmering Skin Perfectors Pressed have been a very hyped up product within the last year in the beauty community but I honestly wasn't ready to part with $60 for a tiny lil' highlighter. BUT I finally plucked up the courage and made the leap of faith. So was it worth it? ...
OPI has just released a new collection for the Fall/Winter months in the northern hemisphere based off the beautiful European capital of Venice. The collection will introduce 12 shades to the permanent OPI range, so don't stress... you'll be able to purchase these whenever! I was lucky enough to receive the little four pack which include both nudes and deeper colours. I am...
You may remember that I included this in my birthday wishlist a little while ago and fortunately for me, the lovely Dani from Dani The Girl XO decided to pick it up for me! And yes, I love it. ...
Rimmel have been on fire lately releasing a stream of new products including the Wake Me Up Wonder'Full Mascara as well as the Brow This Way collection. I was lucky enough to receive a little selection of them and I really wanted to share my thoughts on them! ...
Now it is no secret I am a sucker for a peachy toned blush. I absolutely adore the colour and I find the warmth of these types of blushers really compliment my skin tone. Anyways, I wanted to do a quick post based on my current top 5 peachy coral blushers. Let jump straight in! ...
Luckily for me, my undereye bags and discolouration are nowhere near as bad as other bloggers I've seen. Praise the Lord. I have a bit of darkness around my eyes, but nothing that would stop me from leaving the house without makeup. In saying that I love a flawless undereye area, and these three in particular give me that Kim K sass. ...
I picked this up a couple months ago after much internal debating and tears. Everyone and their mums were raving about how amazing and perfect and oh my goodness this Nars ITA brush was and I could not resist any longer. It literally killed my bank account and I had buyers remorse literally the second I walked out of the Mecca doors. But...
You either love them or you hate them. The Gerard Cosmetics have long been talked about all over the beauty world and I am a fan of their lipglosses which I have already done a full blog post + lip swatches about here in case you wanted to know more about those instead! Their lipsticks have been getting a lot of hype as more and...
Woops. So the last couple weeks I've been a bit overwhelmed with life so I haven't really been able to write up a regular Tuesday post! ...
Hey guys! So I have really been making a conscious effort to cull items in my skincare and makeup pile and these are my latest product empties! The last collection of empties I had I filmed, but today I just took some photos and thought I would write a quick blog post! Leggo. ...
The original Beauty Blender has been much talked about in the beauty world within the last couple years. Praised by vloggers and bloggers alike, and honestly... I was skeptical about what this ridiculously overpriced sponge could potentially do for my face base! Retailing at approximately $20, that is a lot for something that seems exactly the same as your kitchen sponge. But you...
Here is the second part to my favourite/most used brushes post! I pretty much wear eyeshadow everyday... like, everyday. So I have a fair few brushes to show you... Just a heads up - I purchased all my Real Technique brushes, ELF products/brushes and Eco Tool brushes from iHerb! It's a fantastic site and I recommend it because of their variety and also...
When these first came out a couple months ago there was so much damn hype about them! How they were comparable to the Lime Crime Velvetines and NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream. How the pink shade was crazy bright. Needless to say, I don't have the strongest willpower and I purchased the whole collection. At $9.95 each, it didn't make the biggest dent...
If you know me, you know my favourite makeup items to collect are face powders. Highlighters, bronzers and of course, blush. I cannot help it, I think they are the most beautiful items. NEVER have I ever actually hit pan on any single blush I own. Some of my absolute favourites blushers are those by MAC. All six of the blushers I own...
Another week passed... another week closer to the beginning of Uni for the semester! ...
These arrived in my mail a couple weeks ago and I haven't been able to put one shade in particular down! I thought because I'm enjoying them I should give you guys a proper review! ...
I like doing these weekly post because I find it allows me to express myself and talk about what I feel and blah blah. Literally like an actual private journal. Anyways, this week wasn't too bad. ...
I was super lucky enough recently to attend a night at the Estee Lauder Corporate Store here in Brisbane! I've been wanting to gain access for literally over a year, and it just so happened my partner now has access and they were hosting an event where I could tag along. The corporate store basically has a whole bunch of random MAC, Bobbi...
In order to keep me on track for my blog posts and videos I thought I would be a bit more personal with you all. I don't want to just be a beauty blogger, but I also want to share my life, thoughts, feelings and everything with you guys because I consider you all friends! Basically I've decided to start a weekly "diary"...
As I am sitting here, doing nothing apart from wasting away my time watching endless episodes of Gossip Girl on Netflix, I thought I would make a wishlist of all the pretty things I want in my life! *open for donations for birthday* ;) There have been so many things lately that have been catching my eye, both new releases and older products....

The other day, the lovely Emma and I were invited to experience a day of luxury at Harbour Day Spa in Cleveland, about 30 minutes from Brisbane city. We were treated to the Autumn Spa Luxury Package and boy, did it deliver! ...
