What a time to be alive huh?!? If someone told me 6 moths ago a pandemic would keep us all at home, no matter where you live in the world, I would have told you you’re nuts lol! I hope that whoever is reading this is ok and that your families are ok. So on that note, I wanted to do a post unrelated to beauty-things. The 5 things below are definitely helping me survive this unsettling period. Perhaps the list will give you an idea or just some encouragement… but please remembe

Today on the blush carousel we have a MAC blush in the colour of grape fairy floss <3 I don’t have to many MAC blushes, but when I do buy a MAC blush, I tend to go for the more unusual colours. I was expecting Full of Joy to be a pinky-lilac satin blush – a little different but not majorly so. It turns out it is a frost finish and much more lilac-y than I expected. In saying this, it’s surprisingly wearable. When I say it’s a frost finish – it doesn’t actually have any chunky

Oils have definitely become popular in the last couple of years (think argan oil, coconut oil) and I think it’s because natural-bio cosmetics have also increased in popularity. I’m all for finding suitable natural alternatives when it comes to skin care, however I am very cautious when it comes to the hype because natural but effective skin care is actually very difficult to get right. That would be for a few reasons: one, is that the same ingredient grown in different region

I can’t believe that I have reached post number 100! And what timing – yesterday was my birthday and today I’m celebrating my blog’s milestone 🙂 Hopefully this is just the beginning of what’s to come this year! This blog is just a hobby of mine, but like anything that you create, you want it to be just right and keep improving. So thank you for sticking with me this past year and I hope our beauty bee community grows 🙂 Sooo what have I prepared for you beauties? Some favour

What a gorgeous Saturday! I hope you beauty bees are enjoying it wherever you may be today 🙂 Today I’m wearing a brand new polish – Ciate Paint Pot in Skinny Jeans. I haven’t owned or worn a colour like this before. When I started painting my nails it was a bit of a shock – I wasn’t sure if I could get away wearing a colour like this… I was drawn to it at the shops because it reminded me of jeans and swimming in summer 🙂 But after I finished painting me nails, I was sold! T

Another permanent colour in Avon’s Nailwear Pro collection and one of my favourites is Viva Pink! It’s a true vibrant, blue toned bubble gum pink. It’s a great formula and not streaky in its finish. You will need two coats to get an opaque layer though. Avon says the nail polish should last up to 12 days but I would say it lasts about 5-7 days, which mind you, is still pretty good! And it’s a bargin at $9.95 Aus monies (in the latest brochure). It’s a colour that screams summ

My gorgeous coral nails are thanks to Avon’s Nail Pro polish in Coral Reef. I’m going away for the weekend tomorrow (for 4 days – so I suppose that’s a little longer than the weekend!) and I’m so excited! I haven’t been away for agggges, so even a mini holiday is very much anticipated. I’m going up the coast to a little beach bungalow, so I will keep you posted about my trip 🙂 I think coral nails will most definitely get me in the mood for summer and the beach! What do you t

Two things I wanted to share with you today beauty bees! Number one being that I found an awesome deal at my local chemist (OZE Pharmacy here in Sydney). They had a ‘bargain bin’ sale full of OPI nail polishes going for half price (they usually retail for $19.95 or something) so thats $10 bucks each! Now, they didn’t have every single colour available, but the range wasn’t to shabby either. I picked up one of my all time favourite neutral shades – Samoan Sand which I also bel

There’s just something about Peonies… And the colours! I’d like to see them growing in the wild or at least in someones garden! And Retro Glam  🙂 Beauty Bee~ Please follow and like us: #Inspiration #Retro #Peonies #Glam #Flowers #Spring #Summer

It was finally super sunny in Sydney! The sun was out, there was a super blue sky and it felt like spring was on its way 🙂 Here are some snapshots from my garden 🙂 The third photo is of Jasmine flowers. They haven’t all started to bloom yet, but they are getting there slowly! They remind me of my school days, when in the mornings on my way to school I had to walk past our big gum tree (eucalyptus tree) in the front yard. The Jasmine flowers were growing up the tree and the
