Makeup Tip; How to Make Your Makeup Base Look SEAMLESS!

I love base makeup ❤️ That’s foundation, concealer and powders (face powder, bronzer and blush). Nothing gives me more confidence than a flawless complexion that looks radiant and healthy 🌟 What we all want, is for our makeup to look unified and seamless. All the products applied to your face should work together in harmony. There shouldn’t be any lines or obvious blending (e.g. where your bronzer suddenly ends and blush). I think the trick of most makeup artists is to blend

The End of My October No Buy Challenge, Results & Final Thoughts

So… it didn’t go well LOL Actually, maybe I should rephrase. I bought a couple of things and so technically ‘failed’ my no buy challenge for the month, but I’m putting a positive spin on it, because life isn’t black and white (usually) 😛 and there’s lots of lessons to be learnt so stick with me! So what happened? Usually I did the $100 Beauty Challenge, which gives you $100 for basic toiletries for the month. Limiting, but there’s still some leeway should you really need som

Cheap & Cheerful; Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Blushes

Everyone loves a budget buy that’s actually good! Physicians Formula products have been available at Priceline for a few years now, so I finally decided to try some products from their ‘Murumuru Butter’ line, which has definitely become a hit! So much so, that the Murumuru Butter Bronzer has been sold out online and in every store I have checked for MONTHS now. I was able to find two of the Butter Blushes however, so I will be reviewing those for you today 🙂 Beauty Bees migh

Beauty Blush Playground No. 5: Chanel Blush #71 Malice

I’d never owned a Chanel blush until recently. I kept seeing Chanel’s blush in Malice pop up on different blogs because even though it is a permanent blush colour in their range, it was repromoted in their current summer campaign. I looooved it from the moment I saw photos of it – it reminded me of a muted pink-red sunset! Now it’s not summer just yet in Sydney, but we can dream right? 🙂 I wouldn’t usually spend so much on a blush – but I did secretly want to see what all th

Beauty Blush Playground No. 4: MAC Modern Mandarin

Welcome beauties, to another new stop on the blush carousel! Now this is a blush that looks soooo gorgeous and juicy, that I bought it on a whim – even though I wasn’t totally convinced that I could wear it and pull it off! Just look at the brightness and intensity of that colour! Luckily, it’s not very red toned, which means that the tones of the blush aren’t tooo deep and so lighter complexions should technically be able to pull it off. One draw back with a shade like this

Beauty Blush Playground No. 3: MAC Blush in Full of Joy

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

Beauty Blush Playground no. 2: Bourjois Little Round Pot of Blush in 33 Lilas D’or

Welcome beauties to the second blush playground post! Today I have for you a Bourjois blusher in no. 33 Lilas D’or. This blusher is a medium rose pink shade with quite a bit of gold and red shimmer. It’s the most shimmery Bourjois blush that I own and to be honest I was a little worried about wearing it. Luckily, on your cheeks it doesn’t look glittery per se but rather adds a gorgeous rosey-glow sheen to the skin. I think this is the perfect blush to wear in winter/autumn be

Hyakusuke, a Little Makeup Shop in Tokyo.

My brother recently came back from Japan and he bought me some traditional Japanese theatrical makeup and makeup brushes 🙂 I have been to Japan but not to Tokyo where this little makeup shop is located. It’s a family run store and has been around for 200 years (I know – crazy huh!). The makeup and makeup brushes they sell are specifically designed for Kabuki theatre actors and Geishas, so you can just imagine the aesthetic look of the items and colours 🙂 The shop is quite

New Goodies: Bourjois Little Round Pot of Blush #35 Lune D’or

I did a post on Bourjois little round pots of blush as part of my beauty classics (check out that post here!) and I mentioned that I really wanted the colour Lune D’or (number 35) but that it wasn’t available here in Aus 🙁 What’s with that, seriously?! Well never fear, I found a trusted seller in Europe on ebay that stocked the colour and ta-da! It’s mine 🙂 and it’s so beautiful! It’s a gorgeous pale pale pink colour, with golden shimmer. When swatched, it looks super shimm

Beauty Classics: Bourjois Little Round Pot of Blush

Everyone has heard of these little gems! But can you believe that I haven’t bought/tried them until now? I think its because while the colours looked oh so pretty in Priceline (a drug store) the testers were terrible – maybe they dry out being open all the time or moisture gets to them or something because when I would try to swatch the blushes the colours came out terribly. Finally, when Priceline was having a sale I thought I have to try them out properly for myself! I was
