I wasn’t sure whether or not to do this review because this set of lip pencils (or crayons – whichever word you prefer) from NARS is limited edition. I decided for it eventually, because not only do I loooove these pencils but both sets are still available at Mecca Cosmetica (and Maxima) in Australia. I hadn’t tried NARS’ lip pencils/crayons before this set (though I heard lots of great things about them) but if I’m honest it’s the box which really drew me in… I mean come on,

For me, the perfect day time makeup look is one which take me 15minutes to do, looks very natural, but leaves me ‘polished’ and looking more awake. It take some practise to get all of the elements right – using makeup to look natural is a little bit of an oxymoron when you think about it lol and usually there’s a fair few products involved. But it is achievable! Like with anything, its probably about practise and using the right textures. The most natural colours to use are e

I mentioned in my first post of 2014, that one of my ‘resolutions’ for this year was to appreciate more of the makeup products that I own and try to rotate them around more often.

I’ve decided that when I’m sulking about not being able to buy a new release item or when I’m trying with all my power to resist buying something – to find a hidden

It may have been raining today, but its still spring! My everyday makeup has been very understated lately – focusing on natural colours, seamless blending and illumination!

I’ve gone from using my Nars Copacabana liquid illuminator (a cool toned pink) mixed in with my foundation, to my new Becca Moonstone Shimmering Skin Perfector. It’s a light beigy-gold, perfect for spring when you don’t quite have a tan ye

I recently collected some new goodies which I thought I would share with you 🙂 When I reviewed Erborian’s CC Creme a little while back, I said that I probably wouldn’t be trying anymore CC creams or BB creams for that matter (if you want to read why, take a peak at my original review here). Well I gave in when I saw and read a little about the Bioderma BB cream. I thought that if the colour of the bb cream was light enough and it contained a high spf, it may be a good soluti

I wanted to share with you my favourite staples when it comes to makeup products. No matter what ‘look’ I’m going for or what occasion I may be preparing for – my face/base products are *almost* always the same! To me the skin is the most important feature of my makeup (though that’s different for everybody). I figure that if you have found something that works, why not stick to it! If you can get your base makeup down pat and use products which suit your skin tone, your skin
