UPDATE // New Look

Hey guys 👋

So, if you haven't already noticed (particularly if you're reading this from a mobile device) my blog has undergone a bit of a makeover. I've been wanting to upgrade for a while now and I finally (but slowly) did it.

I would like to thank and acknowledge the work of 2 particular creatives that make up what you see on my blog today...

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!!)

HAUL + REVIEW // Priceline's Haircare Sale

I realise the sale is now over, but we all know that B I G hair sale at Priceline is going to be back. So when it does return, I want us all be informed and ready for our next round of purchases. As you may know, I previously did a blog post on my 'wishlist' for the sale (which can be found, here), and here we are 2nd time round with little hair haul...

FASHION FAVES // The Met Gala 2018

Ok, let me just start off by saying, this was way harder than I had anticipated.. and by no means am I a fashion critic, I am simply giving my own personal opinion (as your average gal).

Based on last year's red carpet looks, I was very excited to see what was installed for 2018's Met Gala. And boy, did it deliver.

A fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the night represents the grand opening for the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit. Celebrating the theme of the exhibit, the red carpet adopts the same idea, with celebrities and designers interpreting their take on the subject. This year's theme...

WISHLISTS // Priceline's Haircare Sale

💇

Hey guys, so if you don't already know Priceline currently have a MASSIVE sale on hair products.. I unfortunately won't be making any purchases this time round (due to a newfound love of 'budgeting' 😂), but I thought I would share with you what would be on my 'to-try' wish list. So check out the pics & links below, and let me know if you have tried any of these products and what you would recommend. 

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...

LIFESTYLE FAVES // Amelia Lane Paper 2018 Desktop Planner

📅

Hey guys. Hope you are all doing well, and your 2018 is off to a good start.. Today I will be sharing a little something that I have found to kick-start and direct my year the way I envision it. 

In my previous post (the one about the elephant), I mentioned that I'd purchased a diary to help organise and plan my year out. I also told you to keep an eye out for a little show and tell of this incredible planner. And so here it is, my highly anticipated.. DIARY TOUR! (Mm, tour of my diary? Diary setup? Diary ideas? Diary show & tell? Diary presentation?) Whatever it is you want to call it (as I'm still unsure of what to title this post), I will be showing you the type of diary I purchased, and how I am using it. 

UPDATE // New Year, New Blog

🐘

Ok guys , let's be real for a second..

It's 2018 and we need to address the big fat elephant in the room.. 

*Drum roll please*

LIFESTYLE FAVES // Demi Lovato's 'Simply Complicated' Documentary

Miss Demi Lovato !

So I recently came across a video on my YouTube suggestion page titled, "Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated - Official Documentary", and I was immediately enticed. For starters, I had no idea that Demi had even released or was working on a documentary, let alone uploading the entire film to YouTube. Oh and I kind of have a thing for documentaries, especially those that involve current pop culture identities - they're always oh so juicy ;)

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. 

LIFESTYLE // 'Get To Know Me' TAG

Hey guys, so it's been a hot minute since I have posted anything and I am extremely sorry. But. It's okay, I'm getting my ass into gear and I have plenty of blog posts planned and ready to go. We are getting back into the groove of things and I hope you are all as excited as I am ;) 

Any-who, I have done a little 'Get to know me TAG', so you guys can get to know me a little better. My blog is more based around beauty, fashion and lifestyle. So I thought I would change it up a bit, and do something a little more personal. I hope you all enjoy, and feel free to do the tag and post in the comments because I would love to get to know you guys a little more personal as well :)

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..
