Lucky me! Another facial! This time something totally different from the team at The Heart of Beauty and Guinot*. Now, if you are anything like me, prior to this experience I wasn't too aware of Guinot and had never heard anything about them or their products. I did receive their night creme to test out a couple weeks prior and I was using that sporadically before my appointment, but honestly I was being pretty lenient in my regime.

Yep. Guess who else got sucked into another LE purchase? Jacquelyn did.

To celebrate they've launched a whole bunch of exclusive products in collaboration with a number of their brands including Nars, Hourglass, Frank Bod and more!

As an oily skinned gal, I've always avoided dewy foundation, one in particular is the Wake Me Up line from Rimmel because I always knew they were under the more hydrating side . However, Rimmel actually recently reformulated the Wake Me Up foundation* and decided to include Vitamin C to help brighten skin and I decided to take the plunge and give it a try! Keep reading to see how it holds up on my oily skin.

Finding a good nail polish formula is actually one of the hardest tasks in life. Getting the consistency right, the colours perfect and the longevity decent is no easy feat for beauty brands out there and only few have mastered it. One of which is Sally Hansen, a brand dedicated to all things nails and nail polish - you would think they would have had to conquer something in the nail world!
Along come their Miracle Gel range; a part lacquer, part gel nail polish collection that doesn't need to be cured with a UV light. Keep reading if you want to see my collection and hear my (obviously obsessed) thoughts on the range!

One of the most controversial beauty brands out there is Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner. Now, even if you hate the Kardashians/Jenners, you would know that the Kylie Cosmetics line has been crazy hyped up for the last year or so.

Lancome is a brand I've never had too much experience with, but the lovely Active Skin team offered to send me a variety of their glosses that they have to compare and review and I was more than interested!

If you've been following me for a while, you would know that the original Benefit Hoola bronzer is one of my all-time favourite cheek products. Even with my extremely fair skin, I've never actually found Hoola to be too harsh or pigmented but I do know that for some it has looked too deep or orange on their skintones.
Introducing Hoola Lite*, a lighter little sister of the OG. If you want to read my thoughts and see some comparison swatches, keep reading!

The Balm is no doubt one of the most underrated makeup brands on the market. So far in my testings of the brand have I found a product from them that I don't like, in particular I am partial to their power offerings like blushes, highlighters and eyeshadows.
I recently collaborated with RY.com.au who offered to send me out some goodies of my choice by the brand and I couldn't wait to get my hands on some new products I haven't tried before by The Balm. If you want to see what goodies I picked up from RY, keep reading.
With shorter hair, I need to regularly straighten my hair as the awkward length means it tends to flick up at the bottom giving me a very weird 50s housewife look. Now, I'm no stranger to these fandangle hairbrush straighteners and I've tried quite a number, however, this new LVL Hair is a winner in my books!
Keep reading to hear my thoughts on their hairbrush straightener.
I admit, I was a bit slow to get this review up. These lipsticks were released in Mecca stores in Australia a couple months ago in a total of 36 different shades.

If you would like to see swatches of all 20 of the lipsticks in my collection, keep reading!

These innovative little kits are the perfect addition to your makeup bag. Keep reading if you want to find out why.
Primers are one of those makeup products where someone either loves them or hates them. I, for example, love them! My primer collection is absurd and is forever growing in my quest for my HG foundation primer.
With these hot months upon on, I've been reaching for more lightweight, refreshing and hydrating primers. If you would like to see my current Top 4 primers on rotation the last couple months, keep reading!
Now I often don't talk too much about my skincare routine which mainly comes down to the fact I judge skincare products quite harshly. I definitely do not have the easiest skin to work with - acne, scarring, pigmentation and texture. Yep, hit with the bad skin stick multiple times.
Just before my wedding last year, so well over 3 months ago, I was introduced to the brand Skinstitut and was luckily gifted a customised skincare routine to try by them. An Australian brand, Skinstitut was founded in 2008 and has a HUGE variety of products to help with different skin concerns with all products retailing for only $45!

Last week, the brand new Rimmel The Only 1 Matte Lipsticks landed in my mail box and got me all kinds of excited. I originally loved the regular formula The Only 1 Lipsticks because of their intense pigment and formula but I was jumping for the matte version!
