Hi Beauty Bees! Since it’s a long weekend, I thought a post for reading this Easter might be a good idea, even though most beauties will be buzzing around spending time with family and friends (everyone needs a little time out don’t they?). Now that Urban Decay is easily accessible in Australia (FINALLY – thanks to Mecca Maxima) I thought I would review and show you a comparison of the two Naked Basics palettes offered by Urban Decay. These little palettes are soooo handy to

I’ve noticed that bright purple nail polishes are difficult to do. Even though I love the L’Oreal Colour Riche Le Vernis nail polishes, even their purple (Atomic Purple #829) nail polish was not crash hot. When I saw OPI’s neon collection (for summer 2014), I thought the nail polishes looked seriously fun! I originally just wanted to buy the shade Life Gave Me Lemons (a citrus colour somewhere in-between a lime and lemon lol) but then I gave in and bought the purple shade and

I have to admit that the first time I saw the Dr Jackson 02 Skin Cream, I wanted to buy it purely for it’s aesthetics lol The cream is housed in an old school, heavy glass, pharmacy bottle. Back in the early days of skin care, if you wanted an ‘ointment’ for your face, you would have to go see your local pharmacist who would then mix something up for you. Funnily enough, technically this still happens – the ingredients of the skin care products you own at home may have been m

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

I felt like going for a classic ‘nail look’ today and luckily on hand I had a new nail polish – OPI’s Road House Blues <3 It’s a gorgeous navy blue – opaque, shiny and intense in colour. I’ve had a longing to travel recently, but as I can’t go anywhere anytime soon this nail polish will have to do! It’s name reminds me of good ol’ country music! I would so go on a musical road trip in the States! *sigh I’ll keep dreaming on… *Update* This nail polish goes on quite thickly – i

I know I keep saying that I am not into the whole BB and CC cream ‘boom’ as the couple that I have tried weren’t that impressive. To me they are just glorified tinted moisturisers and the colour selections are usually pretty bad (why are most of them orange or very yellow toned?!). If a cream claims to do 20 different things, it probably doesn’t do them well (if you have skin care concerns, use a trageted treament product). I received a sample of Avon’s new CC cream from my s

Another nail combination for you today beauties 🙂 My nail polish obsession continues and I have two L’Oreal Colour Riche Le Vernis shades for you – no. 849 which is called Vendome Emerald (which is actually more of a jade green rather than emerald) and no. 840 Black Diamond. If someone can let me know what Vendome is, I would be grateful (google translate really let me down, so I have no idea)! Vendome Emerald is a gorgeous jade green, which goes on opaquely and oh so smooth

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

It was another GORGEOUS day in Sydney, and with Spring just around the corner everything is starting to bloom! I took some more garden shots for you to see 🙂 While the days are super sunny and a comfortable 23 degrees, the mornings and evenings are still pretty chilly, so I make sure I have my super wamr and cosy Ugg boots! 😀 I only wear these at home as I grew up seeing them as extra awesome slippers! Makes the mornings a little warmer… My beagle doesn’t seem to want to ge
