☆What's In The Box: DAY TEN☆

So, I feel like most of my posts lately have just been filled with apologies haha, but no more excuses! I'm GOING to finish this series before Christmas Day!! I've just been super busy with Christmas shopping and wrapping and organising a million things! I made my friends little Christmas ornaments again this year, and they took A LOT longer than I thought they would! I need to remember that I get super frustrated when it comes to crafts... hahah. I'll make a separate post after Christmas on how I made them for some fun DIY gift ideas (Christmas may be over, but hey! There's always next year! Or it can be a super thoughtful gift for Valentines Day or a birthday or something :D)
ANYWAY! So I have about 3 more still to make, but I'm going to finish them after Christmas because I won't be seeing those friends until New Years :) so now I have time to finally get these posts up in time -hopefully. SO HERE WE GO!!

This product is something I already own, but backups are ALWAYS welcome, purely because it's so amazing and quite expensive to stock up on!

DAY TEN
On the tenth day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...

The Porefessional Pore Minimizer :)
 I feel like this is a product that has been talked about over and over in the beauty world. It's often used a primer to minimize the appearance of pores before applying foundation. This retails for $30 online (around $50 or so at counters) for the full size tube. But you can also purchase the deluxe sample size to test it out. Most love this product, but some have said it doesn't work for their skin type. So it's always great that these kinds of products are offered in sample sizes so you can decide for yourself. I have a full size tube, as well as another sample that came in one of the Benefit boxes I bought in the states, and I'm really happy I have another backup because I can't get enough of POREfessional!

I have quite oily skin, so I feel like this product both combats my oil problem and minimizes my pores giving me a flawless and almost matte look before I apply my foundation. I mainly apply this to my t-zone and cheeks (that's where I have the most problems) and it helps my makeup to stay PUT. Without it, I definitely notice my makeup disappearing in those areas much faster.

It's a very neutral skin colour, that blends in with your natural colour. It feels quite creamy but dries to almost a powder-y finish. It's hard to explain, but it doesn't feel greasy or waxy on your face like some products. As I've said before, smells are important.. and this smells very herbal-y. Almost like green tea. It reminds me of the 'It's Potent' eye cream that I showed in an early post, so maybe they use the same ingredients.

This is a great product to pick up if you're new to makeup and want to try using a primer, or if you're just looking for a new one! But as I said before, if you're wary of how it will react with your skin, there are usually samples available over the counter :)

I hope you enjoyed today's post and I shall see you in the next one :)

☆What's In The Box: Day NINE☆

Welcome back to yet another What's In The Box post!
Today is Day Nine, and I have to report that I am still surprisingly pleased with each day, providing yet another product I've been wanting to test out! I'll be sad when this series ends, because I've just been super excited every single time I open a new box :D

DAY NINE
On the ninth day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...

"That Gal" Brightening Face Primer :)
"That Gal" is apparently an amazing product that so many beauty gurus love! Because it's a 'face brightening' primer, it not only primes your face for makeup application, it also adds a healthy glow that illuminates from within your skin and shines through your makeup!

This product retails for about $29 online (so it would probably be in the $40 range at counters in Australia) and usually comes in completely different packaging. There is a twist bottom that distributes the primer through an almost sieve-like applicator which you can either apply straight to the face, or use your fingers to pat into the skin.


This product has a very creamy consistency, and is very smooth to apply. With a salmon-y colour, this is great for hiding dark circles especially (which is most likely what I'll use it for haha). As you can see, a little goes a long way! The photos really don't do this product justice. From just that small amount of primer, my whole hand was glowing and my skin looked amazing when the light hit it. It was like I was a shiny disco ball, but without an epic proportion of glitter! Like a disco ball had a love child with the sunshine's happiness, and it was all "hey world! I look fabulous! And now I'm going to make your face look fabulous!"
And as you've probably figured out by now, smells are very important to me when it comes to beauty products! That Gal smells like grape, which takes me back to my childhood when every single thing I ate or drank had to be grape flavoured. I don't really care for the flavour that much now I'm in adulthood, but the smell is very reminiscent of when I was a child, so it's not disliked :P

I'm definitely going to start using this more often, especially since Summer has officially hit us all smack bang in the face in the land down under! With the extreme heat, I need all the priming I can get hahah. I want to look glowy without it looking like I'm super greasy, which is a must when all the matte products come out to play to erase that natural oily shine! The great thing about this primer, is you can wear it on it's own -if you have clear skin or are super confident.. unlike me- so for those who go bare faced, this is like that 'pregnancy glow' harnessed into a little tube!
What I'm really trying to say, is that even if you don't wear makeup 24/7, you can use this product to feel sassy and fabulous while also being free of everything else :) win win!

I hope you enjoyed today's post, and I shall see you in the next one :D

☆What's In The Box: Day EIGHT☆

Welcome back everyone!
Today is Day Eight, and contains possibly one of my favourite products so far!
I won't bore you with a lengthy intro about how excited I am, so I'll just get into it ;P

DAY EIGHT
On the eighth day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...

Highbeam Highlighting Cream :)
This little baby has been on my Benefit wishlist for some time now! A few months ago, I bought what was supposed to be a dupe by Australis, and was pretty disappointed by both the colour and the application. But I wasn't sure I was willing to pay the 40 or so dollars it would cost for the full size highbeam over the counter. So at least by having a little sample, I can judge whether the price tag is worth it and possibly purchase the full size later on :)


I was so happy with the packaging for this little baby highbeam! Again, props to Benefit for their amazing production of samples. With the tiny little brush inside -that reminds me of a lip gloss brush- it makes application simple and easy. You just dab a few dots on the highest points of your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose (for contouring) and on your cupids bow and blend with your ring finger for a dewy glow. This is such a beautiful and illuminating highlighter, it makes it seem like you've had the best week in your life and your inner happiness glow is just beaming out your pores from within! I think I'm most excited to transition this highlighter into my everyday makeup over everything else I've received! With the warmer months slowly but surely approaching, having cream products is both essential for keeping your skin moisturized and it also has a longer staying power than a lot of powder products (at least on my skin it seems to!).

The product itself is very creamy and is on the pinky side, which is great for people with lighter skin tones. So I'm hoping it matches well with my yellow undertones (despite my skin looking red in the photo haha). For those who have darker skin tones, sunbeam is a great golden highlighter to really bring out the radiance in a tan or natural colour :) but highbeam I guess can be used more for a natural "light reflective" highlighting. It really depends on what you prefer :)
I for one am excited to try this out and incorporate it into my end look!

I hope you enjoyed Day Eight and I shall see you in my next post :)

☆What's In The Box: Day SEVEN☆

Hello everyone!!
I'm so terribly sorry for missing the past few days, I've just been suuuuper busy organising things for Christmas and getting gifts together etc.. you know how it is! This is the CRAAAZY season! Hahah
But as I've said before, I'm trying not to pressure myself to get a post up every single day, coz I obviously have other commitments during the week and the posts won't be as good if they're rushed. But this will still be my December series and upload all before Christmas :) SO DON'T FRET!! :D

And anyway, on to today's window.
Again, this is a product that I was quite curious about and interested in trying out.. but was a tad disappointed in. And it wasn't the quality of the product that left me in shambles... but the damn smell! I wish my nose wasn't so sensitive, otherwise I could completely enjoy this product :(

DAY SEVEN
On the seventh day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...



Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in A-Lister :)

At first, I was surprised to find yet another lip gloss in the calendar, but hopeful it would be better than the Dandelion gloss. But after one sniff, I knew this would go in the "stocking stuffer" pile. It had that same orange-esque smell that makes me feel queasy, which is super disappointing considering how cute the packaging is!

Again, this is a very wearable colour, and the sample packaging makes it really easy to just chuck in your purse on the way out without taking up too much room, yet still serving the purpose of a quick and simple application. There's nothing worse than a sample lip gloss in a tiny pot that you have to jam your fingers into to get a small amount of product out!

A-Lister is a pretty peachy-pink colour that is very similar to Dandelion, but possibly a few shades lighter. Dandelion was quite a sheer lip gloss with a hint of colour and sheen, whereas A-Lister is creamy and more pigmented yet still a wearable every day gloss.
I'm really disappointed I won't be able to wear this, but again, it will make someone else very happy this Christmas :) and if you don't mind the smell, then I think this would be a great gloss to add to any collection :)

I hope you enjoyed Day Seven, and I shall see you in the next post :)

☆What's In The Box: Day SIX☆

(Edit: So hopefully after this post everything else will be perfectly fine! Haha)

Welcome back to "What's In The Box" with the first 'gift' day!
Throughout this advent calendar, Benefit have been sneakily hiding cute little gifts that I'm fairly certain you're unable to physically purchase. So today, I found my very first gift...

DAY SIX
On the six day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...

 A 2013 Advent Bow Hair Clip :)

This is such a cute little bobby pin-esque clip to hold back your hair while still looking fashionable. The little white bow has a tiny rhinestone in the middle that adds a little glitz and glamour to such a simplistic design.

I'm forever using bobby pins and cute little bows when I style my hair, so I think I can get a lot of use out of this :)
Things like this are great stocking stuffers for little girls, too (or not so little girls like myself, haha). They can cost anywhere between $0.50-$5, so find ones with cute details like this one to give a girl some sparkle to add to her 'do'!

And with that, I shall see you all tomorrow :)
<3 Hannah Kate



☆What's In The Box: Day FIVE☆

(Edit: Again, this was a scheduled post that never made it to the outside world!)

I want to start this post off by saying last night was the best night of my life. You know that feeling you get when everything in the world suddenly feels perfect and you're left with a sense of euphoria? That's exactly how I felt, and I want to feel this way for the rest of my life! Muse put on the best live performance I have ever witnessed in my entire life -and if you see my wall full of ticket stubs, you'll know I've been to thousands! There is just something about them that always amazes me each time I see them, and it inspires me both musically and in life to strive for greatness haha.

Anyway, back to the point behind this post! Today is now Day Five and again I was very happy with what lay behind the box...

DAY FIVE
On the fifth day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...

 Benetint Lip and Cheek Stain :)

Now, I already own this wonderful product as it came in the "Primping With The Stars" box I bought on my trip to the States this year, but I'm thankful I have another sample bottle as I was too afraid to start using my other bottle more often in case it ran out super quick! The full size retails for around $30 online and close to (or over) $50 in Australia, which makes for a very pricey stain! So having two samples will last me quite a while.

The brush inside is very good quality, and makes it easy to sweep a few lines on your cheeks and blend in with your fingers to create that natural looking flush. This is perfect for those days when you just want a simple makeup look to rush out the door for class or work. It also works as a lip stain, so if you're in a hurry, just swipe this across the lips for colour that will last all day and weather any storm.

As you can see, the colour can be buildable, from a flush of red to a vibrant rose.
Because this is such a small size, I can see myself carrying this around on a night out for quick touch ups, or adding it to my travel makeup case seeing as it takes up barely any room and offers another option for colour choice.
I can't wait to wear this more often and possibly try out all the other tints. These are great little products to help in a bind haha

I hope you enjoyed today's post, and I shall crawl into a little ball and feel sorry for myself for I moshed too hard and now my entire body hurts. But it was totally worth it!
<3 Hannah Kate






☆What's In The Box: Day FOUR☆

(Edit: So, apparently clicking "Schedule" at 2 am and thinking it would post later that day did in fact NOT work out in my favour and these posts have been sitting in my draft box this whole time. Frustration maximum! But here are the posts from the past few days!)

So tonight I shall be rocking out to my favourite band, Muse!! And hopefully I can still schedule this post to be on time today regardless. I am beyond excited to dance the night away and watch the fabulous Matt Bellamy hit those high notes in very tight pants ;P
But back to the reason why you're here. Today is Day Four on the calendar and I have to admit I was quite excited for this surprise.. but then very quickly disappointed. Read on to find out why...

DAY FOUR
On the fourth day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...

 Dandelion Ultra Plush Lip Gloss :)

At first, I was so excited to finally have the chance to try one of the Benefit lip glosses, especially one from the boxed blush sets. With 6.5g of product, I knew this would be perfect to carry around in my clutch or handbag when I'm out at night or running errands and need something that won't take up much room. The sample packaging for Benefit overall is great, but the fact that their mini lip glosses have the same applicator as the full size, it gives you the "full gloss experience", rather than it being in a sticky pot or a less than average brush.

So as I went to swatch the colour, I couldn't help but smell the actual gloss -because as I've said before, smell is important for me when it comes to products and there's nothing better than a yummy gloss- but I actually regret using my senses for this gloss, because it completely ruined it for me.

Ok.. let me tell you a story as to why this gloss smells absolutely repulsive to me..
When I was younger and I played with Barbie's, there was one doll that was a witch... or sorceress or something. Anyway, the point is she came with a "potion" set, where you mixed powder with water and drank it. The first one I tried was some sort of orange flavour, and I literally threw it all back up. Ever since then, I can't drink any fizzy orange drinks or stand anything that reminds me of that smell. This lip gloss included. So, disappointment aside, I swatched it and was pleasantly surprised with the lovely colour.

A peachy-pink that when applied on the lips gives a hint of colour with a pretty sheen from the gold flecks. If I could get past the smell and the fact that it tastes like glycerin, I think this is a colour I could wear every day. But unfortunately my senses are far too particular.
But it hasn't all been a disappointment! Luckily I have stockings that need filling and people who will appreciate this more than me, so hopefully this little baby gloss can make it's way into someone else's handbag.

I hope you enjoyed Day Four and I will hopefully see you all tomorrow -unless I'm all rocked out!

☆What's In The Box: Day THREE☆

Hello again everyone, and welcome to Day Three! :D
This post is late today because I wanted to physically use this product before I went to bed to give a proper review rather than "this looks pretty" haha. I have been "eyeing" off this product for some time and have considered purchasing several times when browsing online, but was very unsure whether it would be worth the money. But I was super excited to open the little box today and find a sample!

DAY THREE
On the third day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...

It's Potent! Eye Cream :)

My first thought was how absolutely gorgeous the packaging was! Usually when you get samples of creams, they come in a dingy plastic container with the tiniest scraping of product which is nowhere near enough to justify how well it works, so you end up buying the full size anyway!
But this eye cream sample comes in a similarly styled container as the full size. Made of a cool, green glass that gives a very vintage-esque look on your vanity, which is just absolutely beautiful! And I was so surprised to see that this very small sample was completely FILLED with product! With 3.0g of eye cream, this gives you enough to ensure a) the product is working for you and b) you'd want to purchase the full size.

So, naturally I tried it straight away!
This eye cream is marketed towards people who have very dull and dark under eye circles. Whether from hyper-pigmentation or lack of sleep (I suffer from both), it aims to brighten the area and smooth any noticeable lines to give you that younger, healthier glow that makes you look completely awake.
On first impressions, it has a very creamy and smooth texture that glides onto the skin and soaks in as you gently apply to the under-eye area. It kind of smells like grapes, but it's not that sickly sweet smell of grape that you have with some sweets. It's just a subtle hint, and smells are important to me when it comes to all products! There's nothing worse than using something that makes you want to gag every time you open the container!
I have tried several "eye brightening", "send those dark circles to the depths of hell", "wake me up please!" products over the past few years, and so far nothing has really done the trick. Or they've worked for a few weeks and suddenly my skin either gets used to the product or they've simply reached the end of their limits (I swear, my eyes looked like a panda before I started!). And eye creams are mighty expensive for such little containers! This particular one from Benefit goes for around $36 online and probably double that to buy from a counter in Australia! So hopefully it will prove to be worth the price tag and I can purchase it for myself :)

I've had it on for an hour or so now and already I can feel the area being cooled down and there's a slight sheen of light on the skin, almost as if I've added a highlighting cream (which would make sense considering it containers an illuminating agent haha)
I'm really looking forward to putting this on every night and I shall report back at the end of this series if it made any difference and maybe include pictures of the progress :)

I hope you enjoyed reading Day Three and tomorrow's post may be up earlier than usual (and I will explain why in that post :P).

And also, because today is the 3rd of December I wanted to wish my boyfriend a very happy 45th monthiversary (or 3 years and 9 months!) and to thank him again for gifting me this wonderful calendar, which has already provided some lovely surprises!

I shall see you all in the next post! :)

☆What's In The Box: Day TWO☆

As I woke up this morning, feeling those dull aches from the day before, I almost forgot that I could open a new window today!
I was pleasantly surprised with today's 'prize' because it's a product I've wanted to try out for some time :D

DAY TWO
One the second day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...


Stay Don't Stray primer in light/medium :)

This is an almost cult-loved primer for keeping your under eye concealer and eyeshadow completely budge proof! I have a massive problem with every concealer either creasing, smudging or ending up half way down my face by the end of the day. No matter what product I use or how much I prime before! But I've heard that there are many others who have similar issues and recommend this to the ends of the earth. So I'm very happy to now have it in my possession to play with :)


This sample is very tiny -about the size of my pinky- but I feel a little can go along way with this product, and it's a great size to test it out.
With a sponge-y applicator, it would seem that the actual product would blend and sink in really well into your eye area. There's nothing worse than having a harsh applicator around the tender skin of your eyes!
From what I swatched on my skin, the product inside is very creamy and milky and surprisingly a good match for my skin, which means it won't show through when I add concealer or eye shadows over the top.

I'm really excited to try this out and see how well it really lasts and whether my concealer will in fact "stay and not stray".
I've decided that on Christmas Day and maybe even Boxing Day (which is a big family day for us in my household) I'll do a makeup look using the products inside this calendar so I can report back on how well they lasted and how they worked etc and then I'll be able to give a just review. So stay tuned for that in.. a few short days :O Christmas is so close!
I shall see all you lovely readers tomorrow for day three!

☆What's In The Box: Day ONE☆

Today is the first day of my December series "What's In The Box"! If you missed yesterday's post, I was graciously bought the Benefit Cosmetics Countdown To Love advent calendar as an early Christmas present. So each day, I'll open the little windows and show what's inside and share my first impressions :)

DAY ONE
On the first day leading up to Christmas, my true love gave to me...

 Coralista miniature boxed blush :)

This was such a surprise, as I thought there was only one boxed blush in this entire calendar, so I'm very excited to try this out!
The first thing I noticed was how bright and brilliant the colour was. Such a lovely pinky-coral that will be PERFECT for summer, which is just around the corner!

It's quite small, maybe about an inch or so, but for a sample I think there's quite a lot of product in the packaging. And I think I prefer the blushes to be smaller purely because they're easy to travel with. I own the Hervana boxed blush and I have to leave it at home whenever I go anywhere because it just won't fit in my makeup bag :(
So having such compact packaging is great!

I couldn't help but swatch it right away, and was so surprised at how pigmented and creamy the actual product was! It's not as super bright as it looks in the box, but it's definitely a buildable colour which I really love. Some days you just want a nice hint of colour and other days you want it to be like "woah look at my radiant cheeks!", so I feel you could achieve both looks with this one colour.
It almost has a dusty rose look to it when swiped across the cheeks, but obviously not as 'hard-hitting' as something like Rockateur. So it's a just a very pretty rosy coral with small gold flecks to give you that healthy summer glow.
This retails in Australia for around $55 as the full boxed blush and $28 from the Benefit website. I'm about 80% sure you can get these sample sized blushes in their sets they have every year, though I'm not entirely sure if Coralista is one of them. The two they have out now on their website are Sexy Little Stowaways and Little Love Potions. So if you were bummed you missed out on the calendar, you can still pick up these great deals online for some quality samples at a fantastic value :)

I hope you enjoyed Day One and I shall see you all tomorrow!

☆On The 24th Day Before Christmas, My True Love Gave To Me...☆

The moment I heard about this amazing item, I couldn't help but want to get my hands on it. I searched high and low for this product online before realising it was completely sold out! I was almost about to giveaway when I remembered there was a counter in the city that might stock it. So when I was out dress shopping that week for an engagement party, I rushed into Myer and politely asked the lady if there were any in stock. She regretfully said no, but informed me there would be a new shipment in a few weeks and would put me on the waiting list and would call me when it arrived.
So I waited...

And waited...

And waited some more...

AND FINALLY SHE CALLED! She told me it was the very last one in the state and I'd be foolish to miss out. I looked in my bank account and it was looking very sad, so I was very sad that I wouldn't be able to afford the one thing I had been looking forward to for ages because I had spent so much money the week before on numerous presents (November has a habit of being a huge birthday and event month!!). But thankfully my lovely boyfriend generous offered to buy it for me as an early Christmas present, since he could see how down I was about it. I was all smiles as we travelled into the city and marched into the store and I was given my enormous package!

THE BENEFIT COSMETICS "COUNTDOWN TO LOVE" ADVENT CALENDAR!!!!

This is finally all mine and I can't believe it was the last one in the entire state! I feel so lucky to be able to have something as 'rare' and 'most wanted' as this :) Unfortunately, I think this is sold out everywhere (though I do remember finding some on eBay, if you're willing to pay the price!). But fortunately for YOU, my dear readers, I shall be sharing my experiences opening this product every day of December leading up to Christmas :)
I shall post what each product is and my first impressions and a mini review each day :)
I'm so excited because I only know a few of the products and they were things I've wanted for aaaages, but the rest will be a surprise for me too :D

If there's an issue posting every day (connection issues or busy etc), some will be posted on the same day. But don't worry, you will get to see all 24 items! And then you may be tempted to go out and buy some of these goodies for yourself ;P

SO HERE WE GO! Tomorrow there will be a brand new post and a brand new item!
I hope you're just as excited as I am to see what's in store ;)

See you tomorrow,
xx HannahKATE

The Holiest of Holy Grails

Another review flying your way via the interwebs!
I recently purchased the holiest of holy grail bronzers; NARS Laguna Bronzer.


Every beauty addict and their dog has raved about this product to the end of the Earth! So, I thought it was about time I added it to my growing collection.
Because this bronzer has such a brown-based colour, it won't leave you looking orange-toned or over done! Which is very important with the Summer months hitting all of us in the Southern Hemisphere. The product is so overly pigmented when swatched, and yet leaves a lovely natural glow on your face. This is definitely an "enhancement" product, as it merely enhances what is already naturally there, but it is a buildable colour, depending on how dramatic you want to go. I have owned a few bronzers in the past, but this is absolutely my favourite find so far! Because it's a matte bronzer, it adds perfect contours and is great for a quick sweep across the face to warm up the complexion. I love the Laguna Bronzer so much I have even added it to my everyday makeup routine! It blends so well and never leaves my face looking cakey or "done-up".
I would recommend this to anyone who is willing to pay the extra money for a quality product or just wants to splurge on an all-time favourite! I picked this beauty up at Mecca Cosmetica in Rundle Mall, Adelaide. There are also a few online sites that stock NARS if you're willing to go hunting and pay for shipping :) I usually pair this with my everyday blush; Dainty by MAC.
12/10, would definitely recommend!! Haha :P
Thanks for reading!
<3 Hannah Kate.

☀First Review☀

For my first real post, I wanted to write a mini review for a product that has changed my life.

My WHOLE LIFE I have dreamt of having long, luscious lashes (as I'm sure many of us have), yet I was given the dud genes and was therefore born with stumpy, non-existent lashes.. while of course my brothers eyelashes make him look like he's wearing falsies 24/7 (go figure)! I had tried so many different mascaras and brands and nothing made a difference.. they were still just as stumpy but now they were coated in product. I had almost given up on my dreams.. UNTIL!! I came across this amazing product; Revlon's "GROW Luscious" Mascara!

I was very skeptical at first, of course. A mascara that both lengthens AND GROWS your lashes? Yeah right. NOO! BELIEVEEE!
I used this mascara practically everyday for about a month or two (or until it eventually ran out/dried up) and I almost cried when I had to throw it away. This was a life changing product for me! My eyelashes went from "hello? Are you there?" to "WOAH! Hey there!" with just this mascara! I was able to swipe a few coats of Maybelline's "Falsies" mascara and actually LOOK like my eyelashes were dramatic and pow-pow in your face! Even without mascara I'm still getting used to my lashes tickling my eyelids when I blink. I really wish I had taken before and after shots with close ups, but because I was so skeptical I didn't think it would have made a difference. But now I feel like a girl again who can show off her eyelashes with pride :D
I know there are a lot of ladies out there who feel the same way I did, and I urge you to give this mascara a try! I'm curious to see if their new Lash Potion formula is similar and what kind of results you could get from it. But I can honestly say that now I can wear any mascara I want and I now have to worry about them looking TOOO long (if that's even possible)! Hahah.
This does retail in Australia for about $22, but it was seriously worth every cent :) YAY FOR LASHES!!
So I can now say I owe my life -at least the beauty side- to this product for giving me back my eye-confidence :D

Peace out!

✩☆Welcome!☆✩

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to my new blog :)
I was born into this world 22 years ago, in a little town called Adelaide, as a creative soul in need of an outlet. I think I may have found my new home.

I have had this blog in mind even before I started my YouTube videos and I needed a space to write all my thoughts and ideas and share my passions to coincide with the visuals. I absolutely love photography, and wanted to incorporate those "skills" into a blog consisting of beauty, fashion and lifestyle posts! I wanted a place where I could write reviews, share my first impressions, talk about my fashion choices and even blog my experience re-decorating my room and eventually my own home :)
I hope you enjoy what I have to offer and I can't wait to start posting and filming for you all! So if you like what you see, follow me or subscribe for much more to come :D
