HAUL + SWATCHES // Jennifer Lopez x Inglot Collaboration

If you know me (or follow me on Instagram), you will know I was very excited for this collaboration. We all know Jennifer is an absolute legend in the entertainment industry and she is continually pushing all types of boundaries. This lady dances, sings and acts just to name a few of her many talents. Growing up in the 90's, JLo is definitely someone I have always admired and grown up around, from 'Jenny from the Block', to 'Maid in Manhattan', to the release of her book 'True Love' (which is quite a good read, FYI). And honestly, this lady keeps getting better with age - at 40 she is killing the game (peep those rock solid abs on her latest vacay Insta pics.. total babe and fitspo, if you ask me!!)

WHAT'S NEW! // KKW Beauty x Mario Collaboration & Fenty Beauty's Body Lumanizer

😍

Happy Tuesday beautiful people! I hope your week so far has been enjoyable, and if not, it's about to, with some of these upcoming beauty products releases...

REVIEW + VIDEO // StylPro Makeup Brush Cleaner & Dryer

🎥

Well here's something new.. A YOUTUBE VIDEO! 

Welcome! I'm not sure if I'm more excited for my blog post or my first ever YouTube video, nonetheless both are just as exciting as each other, right? Today's post is a review and demonstration of the infamous StylPro Makeup Brush Cleaner & Dryer. I've seen a few videos and ads going around for this product, and like everyone else I always wondered 'does it actually work?' And so when I received one of as a gift from my family, I knew I wanted to do a Review/does it actually work blog post. So here we are today...

SWATCHES // KKW Beauty x Kylie Cosmetics Collaboration

If you know me well, then you know I had to get my hands on this collaboration. Thankfully there was no waking up at some ridiculous hour, with multiple devices and multiple tabs open to score this beauty. Although, for a second there, I thought I had missed out, and a panic attack was looming in the air. But nevertheless I am here now and I am a proud of owner of the KKW x Kylie Cosmetics Collaboration (Yayyyyy *Telisha Cheers).

SWATCHES // BH Cosmetics x Shaaanxo Eyeshadow & Lipstick Palette

All hail , queen 'Shaaanxo' as the New Zealand beauty guru announces her eye shadow and lipstick creation, in collaboration with BH Cosmetics. Congrats girl!

Now, I know it has been a while since the palette was first released, but I am a huge fan of Shannon's and I know I'm not the only one out there - so why not give this amazing collab the shout out it deserves? And, I thought I would give a little bit of an insight for those who are still thinking of purchasing it, or have not yet heard of it. When I first heard about the palette, I was so excited to get my hands on it. But, I was even more excited for Shannon - for anyone to partner with a brand and make something their own , is a huge deal! I just have to congratulate Shannon, for all of the hard work she puts into her videos (main and vlog channel), her company - xo beauty (which includes, makeup brushes and eyelashes just to name a few), her social media and to top it off, a makeup collaboration. Is it weird to say that I'm proud of her? Because I am! 

REVIEWS // Empty & Used Products

Today's blog post is, part I in my empty product reviews. I've basically been saving old bottles and packaging from products I have used up and presenting them to you, with feedback. I decided to split it into two parts, to mix it up a little and because if I wrote about all of the 'empties' I had, it would be a helllla long post. Part II will be uploaded within the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for it.

Anywho, I hope you enjoy the read, and let me know if you've tried any of these products and what you thought of them... or if you have any equivalent recommendations. 

HAUL // Luxola

Now for those of you who are not yet aware – Luxola.com (now known as Sephora.com.au) was a Singaporean website that stocked a wide variety of beauty products, ranging from makeup, skincare, and hair and nail products. They ship to Australia for a small fee, but do offer free shipping over $55.00 (which isn’t very hard to spend, when you see the awesome brands they stock). Luxola constantly ran sales and great deals, whilst also offering samples which is a great incentive. And, I admit it I got lured in by the AMAZING ‘proposition’ Luxola was offering at the time of my purchase. Basically if you spent over so much, you received a free ‘Luxola Beauty Kit’ as well as your chosen 3 samples. So, I got on it, straight away (I’m a sucker for freebies! Lol).

WISHLIST // 5 Products I wished I owned

Hello guys, so today I bring to you my 'most wanted' make-up products  – generally these are things that I have had my eye on for a while now and just haven’t gotten around to swatching/buying. Now, I had to cut it down to 5 products with a special guest product, only because I basically want anything and everything and this post would've went on for ever if I mentioned every single thing. So, these are my top 5 most wanted products... (in no particular order).

SWATCHES // Chi Chi Eyeshadow Palettes

Chi Chi is probably one of my favourite drug-store brands and over some time now, I have collated a collection of their products - including their amazing eye-shadow palettes. I don't have all of them , but I thought I would provide some swatches of the ones I do own. I would definitely recommend swatching them at your local Target or Myer, or even purchasing one. They are extremely pigmented and easy to blend - especially for beginners or those looking for a cheaper alternative to the high end brands.

HAUL // Priceline Cosmetics Sale

As some or, all of you may know, Priceline recently had a sale - a 40% off all cosmetics sale. And of course, I attended - two different stores in fact! Too me, 40% is so close to half price, so I jumped at the opportunity to grab some things that I've been wanting and needing for a while now. I'd love to hear what you guys picked up and what you think of your products so far. But as for me, I thought I'd chuck it in a haul. So, let's get started.. 

LIFESTYLE // 'Would You Rather' Beauty TAG

And, today for all you beautiful readers out there, I bring you - a TAG... a beauty TAG ! And I am well aware that tags are usually done on YouTube , but I thought IDGAF (Big Sean reference). Nah, but really, it's something a little more personal, and it was kind of fun for me to do. So, keep on reading if you would like to see what, 'I would rather' in regards to beauty and make-up and go ahead and do this tag yourself. Because, I TAG YOU! 

HAUL // Shop Miss A

Today, I have a rather large make-up/beauty haul for all you lovely people. It's a one shop haul - from the amazing "Miss A". It is an American based, on-line store that sells products ranging from, hair accessories, nail art, make-up and jewellery. And the best part is that everything is.. $1! Yep, you heard (or read) right... ONE DOLLAR! So, of course I jumped right on and found all the things that I wanted or needed and the following post is a display of what I ended up getting - of course majority make-up, but YOLO (especially for $1). Be sure to check out their website, because this on-line purchase definitely did not break the bank (yay). 

But, because it is based in America, a shipping cost was included. Although, it still did work out cheaper then purchasing the products here in Australia. So I went for it, and here I am today...
