You know what I’m talking about. It’s all over instagram! Skin care WITH OUT “benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid“. But what does that even mean? What has benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid ever done to me for me to banish them from my life?

Nail Art Tutorial: Christmas Baubles
So Christmas is tomorrow and you didn’t get a nance to get your nails did? Don’t worry – I got you covered. Here are the easiest christmas nails I have ever done in my life using just a toothpick.
Shop and Box Haul: Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sephora, Ulta….
So I promised I’d share the details of my Shop and Box haul with you and here it is!
What is Shop and Box?
I don’t want to say it’s a forwarding service because it’s a lot more personalised than that. Basically you tell them what you want, pay for it, and you get it. Shop and Box collects a commission on top of the prices of the items and shipping which varies.
Monthly Round Up: September Favourites!
So what have I been liking lately?
MAC Fix+
Okay so I know I have only had these for a week but these are great. I have horrendously dry skin and my foundation can look dry and stick to the patches on my face. A spritz of this before foundation or primer softens and nourishes my skin and a spray after my foundation leaves my face feeling and looking moist. [stay tuned for a full review and uses blog post coming up]
Diet vs Desk II
Ok so I know it seems like forever since my first post of this series but after posting it, I felt seriously demotivated. I don’t know what I thought would happen – that I would suddenly drop 10 kgs in a week? I think it’s because I keep seeing stories of “woman looses 3 kgs in first week after she stopped drinking coke” around and believed it…
Anyway, it’s been a few weeks now and I have made a few changes in my life!

Josie Maran Argan Black Oil Mascara
So, you’ve probably seen this mascara pop up on my instagram every second post because well, I LOVE IT!
I’ve had a little bit over 3 months of use of this mascara and I think it’s time to write a review.
How much is it and where can i buy it from?
I purchased mine form Mecca for $27. Whilst $27 is above my usual spend for mascaras which is usually $10 (when Maybelline goes on sale), I thought I may as well give this one a go seeing as though it promised to “adds volume and length to your lashes whilst nourishing and conditioning them”.
Why did I buy it?
I have the problem of picking off mascara and as a result, my lashes have become stubby and theres less of them. I wanted to try a nourishing mascara as mascara is an everyday must-wear for me.
Urban Decay: Electric Palette
I never thought I’d see the day I wrote a positive review about an eye shadow palette full of neon colours! The Urban Decay Electric palette had been on my want list for months before I received it in a swap and well, let’s just say I’ve been wearing colour a lot more since! Continue reading
Mecca Beauty Loop: Level 1
So, today I went to pick up my Beauty Loop box whilst I’m on holiday in Sydney! I didn’t want to wait until I got back in fear of missing out or being later than the cutoff date (i feel like i’ve read somewhere that they stop giving them out after Aug 5th but that may just be me). This is my first ever Beauty Loop box (“omg whut but you’re always at Mecca!” IKR!) and I’m only a Level 1 (“but but you buy so much makeup how are you only level 1!”). I buy most of my makeup online and only go in store for complexion products like foundation and concealer which are rare purchases.
Anyway so let me break this down.
Monthly Round Up: June Favourites!
So, where on earth did this year go? We’re already halfway the year! It’s time to get my taxes in order!
This month, it’s been all about the lashes for me! Working full time, I haven’t been wearing too much makeup and kept things quite neutral BUT I have been rocking strong, bold eyes that stand out underneath my glasses 😀
Beauty Vlogger Idol?
So, I’ve been receiving a whole bunch of questions about The Glow’s Beauty Vlogger Idol which I was very fortunate to be chosen as a finalist in! I’ve decided to make a quick post about it!
