<div>
Hey guys,</div>
<div>
Today I am going to be reviewing the Josie Maran Argan Oil which I bought from Mecca Maxima during the holiday season. Now when it comes to my oily skin I always thought that I need to use products that will take away the oilyness on my face but I was wrong. To combat oilyness I started using this Oil as my moisturiser and I can say it has made such a big difference to my skin. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_5275_dea4_73f6_b974" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-llZk9lRNjVs/WQbIXR628AI/AAAAAAAAE0A/XidFeVVc5FYka3Re-LZRo54GcwRo5UrSgCHM/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So it all started with a sample sachet I got with one of my Mecca order and I used it for a couple of nights. Instantly I found a difference to my skin when I woke up in the morning. So I read a bit more about the product and found that it can be used during the day as well. I bit the bullet and bought this bottle for $70, which is a steep price to pay but 4 months down the line I think it is worth every cent I paid. Now this is a multipurpose product that can be used from head to toe on the whole body. Be it to smooth your hair or to strengthen cuticles Josie Maran Argan Oil comes to the rescue. Made with 100% pure Argan Oil that is organically grown, cold pressed, cruelty free, paraben free and vegan.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let's talk about the packaging first, it comes in a glass bottle with a dropper fixed to the screw top lid so you can easily use how much ever product you want. I think the packaging is a 10/10 for the consistency of the product. I also travelled with this to India and back and it is still in one piece.</div>
<div>
The actual oil is clear, light, non sticky and very blendable<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">. I like to use it every morning after cleansing I apply the Estée LauderAdvanced Night Repair Serum and follow with the Josie Maran Argan Oil, about 4-5 drops for my entire face and neck. I wait about 5 minutes and then apply my sunscreen and makeup. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Like I said before this bottle has lasted me 4 months and I have been using it every single morning to moisturise my face. My skin has never felt so good in the past 10 years, I have suffered from a lot of acne and occasional dry patches but after I started using the Argan Oil I rarely get a pimple. It could be because of the fact that my skin is now not over producing oil and thus not blocking pores. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Josie Maran also has a light version of this Oil but I have not tried that so cannot tell you the difference but as an oily skin girl I think the original version is quite light too. You can purchase the 50ml bottle for $70 or the 15ml for $23 from Mecca online or in Mecca Maxima Stores. I highly recommend this product as it has been a game changer for my skin. </span></div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am going to be reviewing a couple of products from the brand Natralus. Natralus is a wholly Australian owned and operated family business located in South Australia. Their products are created with natural and organic ingredients leaving no place for chemical ingredients.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the success of the original Natralus Natural Paw Paw ointment and lip balms, they have now introduced Lip Butters made with organic papaya, free from petroleum jelly and enriched with Shea butter, Vitamin E and and natural flavours like Coconut and Strawberry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsIftMhKwYbpdPahikjlljCztZR0Gn36v5l2-JWAK1fzpBbp8MY95Nhw7C17MX3My7Hjjnc7oeA8guzM2QyGrVabFspZ3I44fCR3iWkB1SaIkgiTIo_ivbG2mgbSS3-95XpuQKH8sQc4c/s1600/2016-03-02+13.46.01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsIftMhKwYbpdPahikjlljCztZR0Gn36v5l2-JWAK1fzpBbp8MY95Nhw7C17MX3My7Hjjnc7oeA8guzM2QyGrVabFspZ3I44fCR3iWkB1SaIkgiTIo_ivbG2mgbSS3-95XpuQKH8sQc4c/s640/2016-03-02+13.46.01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These lip butters come in 4 flavours, Coconut, Strawberry, Honey & Vanilla and Cocoa Butter. I personally loved the Coconut and Honey & Vanilla flavour but they all performed the same way. The product itself is a bit thicker than normal lip balms and you only need a tiny bit. I have been using it at night time to give my lips a bit of extra moisture. Some lip balms I have tried dry my lips out after a while but with these I did not experience that, infact my husband uses them on a daily basis and loves them too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are looking for an affordable, natural lip balm that provides long lasting moisture and nourishment I would highly recommend you to try these out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up, Natralus have released a Moisturiser that is again made out of organic papaya and its called the Natralus Paw Paw 95% Pure Moisturiser. They say it is an all-natural moisturiser for the face and body that captures the benefits of organic paw paw while keeping the skin hydrated and soothed for hours. All these benefits without any petrochemicals, petrolatum, parabens, silicones, mineral oil, alcohol, fragrance or colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T4Jo_DuRXM0/V9jVzZvjHYI/AAAAAAAAD6k/iFcYrDL6LbwH-ZwBNmHInOijJx3QoO8sACLcB/s1600/2016-09-14_13.31.46.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="526" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T4Jo_DuRXM0/V9jVzZvjHYI/AAAAAAAAD6k/iFcYrDL6LbwH-ZwBNmHInOijJx3QoO8sACLcB/s640/2016-09-14_13.31.46.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This moisturiser also contains the goodness of Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, both really good to keep the skin hydrated. I have been using this moisturiser everyday since I received it on my body and to be honest I absolutely love it. It is non sticky and absorbs straight into the skin. Because it is free from nasty chemicals I use it on my belly to relieve the itchiness caused by my skin stretching due to pregnancy. The lotion itself is very light and can be used on the face but I have personally not tried it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If your in the market for a body lotion that is fast absorbing and hydrating you should give this a go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Natralus products are available from leading pharmacies and independent supermarkets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lip butters retail for $5.75 and you get 10g of product and the moisturiser comes in three sizes 30g for $5.95, 75g for $9.95 and 200g for $15.95.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey guys, I have been lucky enough to trial the new Rimmel lipstick collection called The Only 1.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This range consists of 12 lipstick shades and 3 lip liner shades. The colors vary from wearable nudes to deep berry shades. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have 6 of the lipstick shades that I tried and tested; and I must say I am very impressed with the quality and wear of these lipsticks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First let's talk about the packaging, these lipsticks are housed in a sleek black case with a band that shows the color of the lipstick. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the shades were very pigmented and true to the color in the tube. The formula is very smooth and creamy that glides on easily. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enriched with Vitamin E and Rosa Fruit oil they leave the lips feeling moisturized and do not dry them even after wearing away like most lipsticks do. They have a very obvious fruity scent which doesn't linger on the lips thankfully as it can be quite strong for some people. The formula reminds me of the YSL Rouge Volupte Lipsticks, creamy and pigmented. Once applied on the lips they literally feel like you have nothing on. The nuder shades don't leave a stain like the darker and brighter colors do but they stay on a for about 4-5 hours after which they fade evenly. I found that after a meal or a drink they made my lips a little tacky, I didn't mind that much as I reapplied and it was fine but some people may not like that feeling. The overall look is shiny but not completely glossy and wears down to a satin finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The shades I have are <i>Naughty Nude</i>- a midtone pink nude, <i>It's a keeper</i>- a mauve pink, <i>Listen Up</i>- deep pink, <i>Cheeky Coral</i>- pink toned coral, <i>Revolution Red</i>- Warm red, <i>Pink a Punch</i>- vibrant pink. My favorite shades out of these 6 are Naughty Nude and Listen up. </div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
The Exaggerate lip liner is slowly becoming my favorite type of lip liner as it is retractable, smooth and stays on for hours. I have tried heaps of lip liners and some are very drying (*cough *MAC* cough*) but this one was easy to apply without pulling or drying my lips out. I am excited to try out other shades and hope Rimmel comes out with more shades in this formula. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
The lipstick retails for $15.95 and liner for $12.95. Considering Rimmel goes on sale often you can grab these for cheaper and I highly recommend you do.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
The Only 1 Lipsticks and Lipliners are available at all the places which stock Rimmel like Priceline Pharmacies, Chemist Warehouses, Target, BigW, Kmart and selected Woolworths and Coles. </div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post is going to be about my new accessory which has been an everyday staple in my wardrobe for the past few weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pSR5iRPDzuc/ViNaWxLCB3I/AAAAAAAACL4/IumpZ8o6YA8/s1600/20151016_141853-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pSR5iRPDzuc/ViNaWxLCB3I/AAAAAAAACL4/IumpZ8o6YA8/s640/20151016_141853-1.jpg" width="572" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jord contacted me to review their product and I was given an opportunity to choose any one watch out of their wide range. It did take a while for me to choose because I wanted something that would work with a variety of outfits and something I wouldn't get bored of. Finally I chose the <b><a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/cora/koa-and-rose-gold">Koa and Rose Gold</a> </b>watch from the <b>Cora</b> collection. I chose this watch purely because I have nothing close to what it looks like in my collection and with the rose gold trend going on, I thought it would be a perfect accessory this spring/summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VmygRVhMUsM/ViNafHs9C4I/AAAAAAAACMA/BKWQIoJt0gM/s1600/20151003_140951.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VmygRVhMUsM/ViNafHs9C4I/AAAAAAAACMA/BKWQIoJt0gM/s640/20151003_140951.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Koa (Acacia Koa) is a species native to Hawaii and is considered to be the most beautiful out of the native hardwoods. Depending on the season the tones in the wood range from medium gold to reddish brown.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jord provides free shipping worldwide and the watch took a week and half to get to me. I was happy that it was packaged really well and there was a lot of bubble wrap to make sure it didn't damage in transit. They resize the watch to fit you before hand so its not a hassle for you. Incase you don't have a tape measure handy, their website provides a downloadable wrist sizer that you can print and measure your wrist. This particular watch retails for $275 USD but I think it is worth every cent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uOj6VThG6kQ/ViNaTWlraHI/AAAAAAAACLc/zmfRb42kECc/s1600/20151016_142050.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uOj6VThG6kQ/ViNaTWlraHI/AAAAAAAACLc/zmfRb42kECc/s640/20151016_142050.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It came in a wooden box which had the Jord logo engraved on it. Inside the box, the watch sat on a pillow again covered in bubble wrap to ensure it didn't break. The box also included the warranty card, instruction card, cleaning cloth and extra links that they took off from the watch for resizing.</div>

As you can see in the pics, the watch itself looks gorgeous with the rose gold dial and the golden brown wood to complement it. The back has a clear glass and you can see the mechanism through it. The wood itself ranges in colour from burnt gold to brown and has its natural texture which makes this watch even more unique. I have had a lot of people complimenting every time I have worn this watch.</div>

Hey guys, </div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am going to be talking about a really affordable but good quality makeup brand.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Color theory has been in the market for a few years now and their products are available at Amcal and Guardian Pharmacies. They have over 100 products ranging from eye shadows, lipsticks, nail polishes, mascaras, base products and gift sets. The prices range between $4-$10 which I think is great considering the quality of these products. The packaging isn't very fancy, all the products are housed in clear plastic compacts/ tubes but I think you get what you pay for so I don't mind the packaging. I have always wanted to try some of these products but didn't get a chance to. I was sent these products to review and as always I will give my true , honest opinion on any product featured on my blog. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OqGQFcDq6aA/VgpoxQlONbI/AAAAAAAACKQ/_qOnXhUM9xo/s1600/PhotoEditor-1443168687389.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OqGQFcDq6aA/VgpoxQlONbI/AAAAAAAACKQ/_qOnXhUM9xo/s640/PhotoEditor-1443168687389.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create this look I used the eyesadow duo in Berrylicious, blush in Cheeky Glow, Lipstick in Fuschia Frenzy and the Define Mascara. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YpnAsdkHOio/VgpovQBIFOI/AAAAAAAACKA/VJtnwKjHIeE/s1600/20150929-1915572729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YpnAsdkHOio/VgpovQBIFOI/AAAAAAAACKA/VJtnwKjHIeE/s640/20150929-1915572729.jpg" width="372" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The eyeshadow retails for $6 and has two shades, one light and one dark. The lighter shade is a pale pink slightly shimmery shade. The darker color is a more brownish maroon shade with very little specks of glitter but that glitter does not show up on the skin when you apply it. I used the lighter shade all over my lid and the dark shade in the crease and lower lashline. With a primer these shadows lasted only a few hours on me which was a little disappointing but if you don't have oily lids these are a great everyday , easy to slap on eye shadows. They blend very well too so that's a plus.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
The blush in Cheeky Glow is a very natural flush of colour that looks good with any look. It retails for $6 and I think its a great blush that lasted throughout the day on me.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mH253HCUv_k/VgpowUL4YlI/AAAAAAAACKI/BB2YCuPblQM/s1600/15-09-25-18-16-02-954_deco.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mH253HCUv_k/VgpowUL4YlI/AAAAAAAACKI/BB2YCuPblQM/s640/15-09-25-18-16-02-954_deco.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Blush in Cheeky Glow, Eyeshadow duo in Berrylicious and Lipstick in Fuchsia Frenzy</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
The lipstick in Fuschia Frenzy is a bright neon pink that is great for the spring and summer, to be honest I was a little disappointed in this as it accentuated my dry chapped lips but that could be because of the colour. Otherwise it was very easy to apply and comfortable to wear. It lasted a good few hours and also stained my lips so the wear wasn't very obvious. The Colour Theory lipsticks retail for $6 and I can't wait to try other shades.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
My favorite of the lot is the Mascara in Define. This mascara lenghthens, volumises and seperates my lashes better than many high end mascaras that I have tried. For me this is a must try product from this range. The wand has plastic bristles and the formula is neither too wet nor too dry. This mascara retails for $8 and is a definite winner in my opinion. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Overall I think Colour Theory is a very promising brand and I would highly recommend to try their products out particularly the mascara. Available at Amcal, Amcal Max , Guardian Pharmacies and online <a href="http://www.amcal.com.au/cosmetics">here</a>. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Hey guys,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I am going to be reviewing this beautiful perfume I won in an Instagram competition a few months ago. Dolce by Dolce and Gabbana is a feminine and fresh scent which would suit a wide range of women. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The concept of this perfume embodies the delicate balance between timeless craftsmanship and innovation in the art of perfume composition. Dolce is one's personal touch, signature scent."</i></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The design of the bottle is very elegant, made out of thick,clear glass with soft curved lines. The flower stopper pays tribute to Sicilian customs. It was this vintage looking flower that first caught my attention to this perfume. I love anything vintage and customary and this is probably my favorite perfume, packaging wise that I own. The black grosgrain ribbon is a reminder of the white shirts and black bow-ties that were a signature of early Dolce and Gabbana catwalk shows. The most personal touch is Dolce signed in black script, a replica of Domenico Dolce's father's own signature. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Top Notes- Neroli Leaves and Papaya Flower</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heat Notes- White Water Lily, White Daffodil and White Amaryllis ( a South African flower used for the first time ever in a scent)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Base Notes- Musky notes, Cashmeran and Sandalwood</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely love fresh, floral scents and that is why Dolce is becoming a new favorite of mine. The scent lasts a whole working day on me, its not very strong nor mild, its the perfect in-between for me. If you are someone who loves floral scents I highly recommend you trying this perfume out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi guys, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been such a long time since I have blogged but I was a little busy with my life and I lost interest in blogging. I didn't want to do it just for the sake of it that is why I thought of taking a break but I am back now and here to stay for good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's review is going to be about the Klara Cosmetics RESET Instant New Skin. This revolutionary gel innovation is formulated to mimic a microdermabrasion treatment in a bottle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The formula contains French honey, bamboo and olive extract, it exfoliates the skin as well as unblocks and tightens pores. It also claims to diminish the appearance of fine lines. Suitable for the face and body, RESET gives the skin a radiant and smooth surface, ready for subsequent applications of skincare and makeup.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFA-5sxtY1E2rTXRD-Osb-QkNYq05TEpRPpjtUI0-vVG0O2-hkAU-efDBojDSrwEzGFyXz6_lPlYP9gh_dc4uhPrFvqk4yLvzEdrXlTgN97D7EhHSSaD4Qb24rJz4gG1VSw1_1GnzZKrY/s640/blogger-image--360469975.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFA-5sxtY1E2rTXRD-Osb-QkNYq05TEpRPpjtUI0-vVG0O2-hkAU-efDBojDSrwEzGFyXz6_lPlYP9gh_dc4uhPrFvqk4yLvzEdrXlTgN97D7EhHSSaD4Qb24rJz4gG1VSw1_1GnzZKrY/s640/blogger-image--360469975.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It comes in a sleek black and silver plastic container with a pump. For my face I use 2 pumps of product and work it into my skin after cleansing. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D_0EfQ47o3U/VeBHOtyZpiI/AAAAAAAACIc/3_aGMOOdlzc/s640/blogger-image--835438191.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D_0EfQ47o3U/VeBHOtyZpiI/AAAAAAAACIc/3_aGMOOdlzc/s640/blogger-image--835438191.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you work this product into the skin it balls up all the dead skin into little white particles( as seen in the photo below)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KvlER1gqY7A/VeBHSg9BOUI/AAAAAAAACIs/ncH9fX_ri_s/s640/blogger-image-1284870603.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KvlER1gqY7A/VeBHSg9BOUI/AAAAAAAACIs/ncH9fX_ri_s/s640/blogger-image-1284870603.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is recommended to leave this on for about two minutes and then can be washed or wiped off with a tissue. I tend to wash it off but I found these little particles stuck to my peach fuzzy facial hair around my jawline. It does get a little hard to remove because I have to go in with a facial towel and rub it off by giving a lot of pressure. It is recommended to be used 3 times a week but if you have very sensitive skin then I would probably use it only once a week. I have been using it for more than 8 weeks now and found that everytime I used it my skincare absorbed better into the skin. I haven't noticed any other significant difference other than that on my skin. My pores do feel tighter after every use but it doesn't last very long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I enjoy using this product on the days I really want smooth radiant looking skin as it does help my skincare and makeup sit nicely on my skin. RESET retails for $34.99 at Priceline and it goes on sale quite often. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried RESET? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments below.</div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I am going to be reviewing the Bio Oil (PurCellin Oil). Bio Oil is a special skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skintone. Bio Oil is also very effective on dry, dehydrated skin and ageing skin.</div>

Bio Oil is formulated with special plant and vitamin extracts, it contains a breakthrough ingredient called PurCellin Oil which makes the oil, light and non-greasy. They recommend to use it twice everyday for 3 months to see results. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been using this for about 2 months religiously every night and I honestly have seen a difference in my skin. I have a lot of old acne scars on my cheeks and after using Bio Oil I have seen them lighten over time. I have also started using it on my body for stretch marks and will see how well it performs on that. All I need is one-two drops and I massage it over the face and neck. This bottle will definitely last me years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a product that may or may not work for you and I know a lot of people who have not experienced any difference by using it but that is because everyone's skin is different. I have found Bio Oil has helped my scarring fade away. It is a product that I will continue buying for a long time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, it does work slowly and you have to wait months to see results but I don't mind that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can buy Bio Oil from leading pharamacists like <a href="https://www.priceline.com.au/skincare/hand-and-body/body-moisturisers/bio-oil-60.0-ml">Priceline</a> in Australia and it retails for $ 14.99 for 60ml. </div>

The AC❤ME collection came out in stores recently and the most talked about products are the cream shadows. I bought the shades Bronzonce which is a pinky/gold/champagne colour and Plum Diddy which is a reddish/plum/brown. These shadows have a really creamy, mousse like texture and are very pigmented. If applied with a flat shadow brush or your fingers these shadows give a very foiled metal like finish. You could also apply it with a blending/ buffing brush to give a wash of shimmer on the lids. These shadows are not crease resistant. You need to have a good eyeshadow primer if you have oily lids like me. These shadows are available at Priceline or <a href="http://www.australiscosmetics.com.au/product/82124/ac~me-eyeshadows">Online</a> for $7.95 each. I highly recommend picking these because they are limited edition and can be used in multiple ways.</div>

Next up is the AC on Tour Highlighting and Contouring kit $16.95. I think every beauty fanatic in Australia has seen or heard about the contour and highlight palette by Australis and I just wanted to share my thoughts with you guys too. This palette contains 6 powders- 3 for contouring/defining and 3 for highlighting. Out of all the six, only one is shimmery and all others are matte. My favourite shade out of all is the yellow powder which I use to set concealer under my eyes. Out of the three contour shades, the middle shade is cool toned and other two are warm toned bronzers. A lot of people say that the contour powders are very muddy and don't blend well. I tend to mix the colours together and a little goes a long way. The shimmery highlight shade is a pink toned highlighter and is not overly sparkly. The last powder is a pink toned all over face powder and is my least used out of all.</div>

In my look above I used Bronzonce all over the lid, Plum Diddy on the outer corners ( I used a blending brush to apply these colours so I get a very soft wash of colour rather than an intense look) and used the first contour shade from the palette in the crease. Highlighted my browbone and inner corners using the shimmery highlight shade from the palette. For liner I used my Maybelline Master Precise liner and mascara is the Australis Twista Sister mascara. Contoured and highlighted my face using the AC on Tour palette. For the lips I lined my lips using the Australis Lip Pencil in Hot to Trot and filled them in with the same pencil. To give the look a little more oomph I used the Social Eyes Lashes in Dazzle.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Recently I was contacted by <a href="https://lukbeautifood.com/">Luk Beautiful</a> if I wanted to try their lipstick line called Lip Nourish.

Housed in a matte white, thin tube this lipstick first of all smells delicious. Although I did expect a lot more pigmentation looking at the lipstick bullet, I don't mind it much. I use this as a tinted lipbalm to revive my lips throughout the day or when I don't want to wear any makeup but still have something on my lips so they don't dry out. Sometimes I use this over an existing lipstick to give it some shine and plumpness. While using this I don't have to worry about licking it off because it is not going to do any harm to my body. </div>

It retails for $24.95 each and comes in a variety of colours and flavours. You can also buy a tasting plate with little samples of all the colours. Luk Beautiful also make other makeup items such as foundations, mascara, powder etc but I haven't tried those out yet.</div>

For Christmas there is a pack of all 7 Lip Nourishes on sale for $99 (originally $199) so if you are looking for a gift this is a great idea. You can purchase these from <a href="https://lukbeautifood.com/shop/">here</a> and they also do free shipping in Australia and Free International shipping over $49.95.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I honestly use a wide variety of makeup products and try to use as much naturally derived products as posible but if you are some one who is allergic to chemicals or is gluten free for example I would highly recommend you to try out this brand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you tried these Lip Nourishes before? What do you think about them?</div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dolon from <a href="http://poutprettty.com/home/">Pout Pretty</a> and I decided to do a makeup swap where I sent her makeup products from Australia that she can't get her hands on and she sent me products from India which I cannot buy here. It was fun selecting and buying products for her as she has very similar taste in makeup and I could buy her products I loved. We set a budget and time frame to send each others products. It was like Christmas in September.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I received the package recently and it was exciting opening it up and looking at all these new makeup goodies I haven't tried before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sometime ago I won a competition on Instagram held by Eye Of Horus when they were releasing their brand new Scarab Sapphire eyeliner. I thought that I only won the pencil eyeliner but when I recieved my package I was pleasently surprised.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My prize pack contained the Scarab Sapphire eyeliner, The Goddess Mascara( The wand is amazing!!), Liquid define pen liner and a cute sharpener, all nicely packed in a gold and clear makeup bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fnoZzu5cao8/VGrQyUpl_7I/AAAAAAAACBk/cE1fMFoSOp8/s1600/EOH.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fnoZzu5cao8/VGrQyUpl_7I/AAAAAAAACBk/cE1fMFoSOp8/s1600/EOH.JPG" height="640" width="638" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Scarab Sapphire kohl pencil (<i>RRP $30</i>) is the creamiest kohl pencil I have tried till date. It is a deep royal blue colour. Also once it is on it does not budge whatsoever. You need a really good oil based makeup remover to take it off. It lasted on my waterline all day long. The pencil also has a smudger on one end. I don't tend to use such smudgers for hygiene reasons since I can't keep it clean but it is really handy to have when your on the go and don't want to carry extra products. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wWt1JTdhUIA/VGrQqpESTDI/AAAAAAAACBU/XT2EOUtdv8k/s1600/EOH%2BMascara.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wWt1JTdhUIA/VGrQqpESTDI/AAAAAAAACBU/XT2EOUtdv8k/s1600/EOH%2BMascara.JPG" height="640" width="638" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Goddess Mascara (<i>RRP $34.95</i>) is made with natural waxes and oils which makes it very long wearing. Very few mascaras do not flake off on me and this is one of them. What I loved most about this mascara is the brush. I love plastic bristle brushes and this one is densly packed. It gives me the right amount of volume and length without clumping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Liquid Define (<i>RRP $30</i>) eyeliner is a pen like eyeliner with a very fine tip. I found the tip to be a tiny bit thicker than the Maybelline Master Precise but very easy to use and budge free. I could wear this eyeliner to the pool and will not have any smudging or bleeding at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fl8yskxgB1A/VG5rbjagItI/AAAAAAAACCQ/q_BXrh6YMy8/s1600/EOH%2BSwatches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Fl8yskxgB1A/VG5rbjagItI/AAAAAAAACCQ/q_BXrh6YMy8/s1600/EOH%2BSwatches.jpg" height="432" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am honestly very impressed by these products by Eye Of Horus and from the packaging to the actual product the quality is remarkable. EOH is also a company that does not test on animals, has naturally derived ingredients and is paraben free. I love the whole egyptian concept of the brand and I 100% recommend you to try their Kohl Pencils. They have a wide variety of colours ranging from the basic black to greens, blues and purple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also if your looking for a mascara for sensitive eyes The Goddess Mascara is formulated without any parabens or nasties and won't irritate your eyes ( not to mention the wand is ah-mazing!!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You could purchase EOH products <a href="https://eyeofhorus.com.au/products.html">online</a> or visit the website for authorized retailers in your area (currently selling at 640 stores all over Australia).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried any Eye of Horus products before? Which one is your favorite?</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As all of you know the Holiday season has started and like every year all brands release their special limited edition holiday products and this year was no exception. Out of all the brands my most awaited collection was by MAC and when they had their collection out online I rushed and purchased a few things. Now those who follow me on Instagram may know that they messed up my order and sent me an empty box for the lipstick that I paid for and when I contacted them they said they were out of stock and told me to choose something else. I found this very annoying as I only wanted that shade of lipstick. Luckily my local MAC store had it in stock and I purchased it in-store while opting for a refund from the online store. Anyways now onto the products. (keep reading after the jump)</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First of all lets talk about the packaging. This year MAC's theme was Victorian heirloom inspired and hence the packaging was glossy black with silver glitter specks. The actual products and their boxes had the special packaging making it very hard for me to throw away the boxes (Yes, I hoard limited edition packaging). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com.au/whats_new/13506/Whats-New/Heirloom-Mix/index.tmpl">Heirloom Mix</a> collection in particular had lipsticks, mineralize blushes, eye liners, fluidlines, lip glosses, nail polishes, mini pressed pigments and glitters. I did wish I could buy everything out of the collection but unfortunately I don't think I could afford all of it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyways back to the products I picked. The mineralize blush in Sweet Sentiment RRP $47 is a satin rosy pink blush. This was on top of my list and is my first Mineralize blush from MAC. It is a little powdery but I love the colour and the natural flush it gives to my cheeks. It is a buildable blush and will show up on light to medium dark skintones. Very dark skintones may not be able to pull this off and it may look quite ashy on them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Next up are the Mini Pressed Pigments in Victorian Plum and Enchantment RRP $36 each. Victorian Plum is a dark plum with violet, purple and blue sparkles and Enchantment is a dark navy blue with blue, green and purple sparkles. I found the texture of both these shades very hard and quite sheer, you need a lot of product to build up the colour or use it wet. Nonetheless I still love the colours and can't wait to do smokey eye looks with them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last but not the least, the item that makes me love as well as hate MAC, the matte lipstick in No Faux Pas RRP $38. Described as a hot pink, this lipstick is a bright fuschia with a semi matte finish. It reminds me of colours like Girl About Town (Amplified) from the permanent range and <a href="http://dazzlegloss3.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/riri-hearts-mac-lipsticks-swatches-and.html">Pleasure Bomb</a> (Matte) from the Riri Hearts Mac collection. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Overall I love each and every product I picked from this collection and I may go back for more (you never know).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Did you pick up anything from the Limited Edition Heirloom Mix Collection by MAC?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hey guys,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First of all, I would like to apologize for my disappearance from the blogosphere. I was working full time plus had joined a makeup course. It was taking up all my time and even though I enjoyed it all I did miss blogging. Now I am back and I assure you I am here to stay. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I am going to review the Decléor Aroma Confort Moisturising Body Milk. I received this product a few months ago and I thoroughly enjoyed using this product. </span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Decléor System Corps contains Coconut Oil, Vitamin D, Plant Glycoprotein, and moisturising agents to thoroughly nourish skin, while retaining a lightweight lotion lotion texture which is absorbed quickly into the skin. This must-have body moisturiser envelops your skin in a comforting and protective layer of moisture. It not only re-hydrates the skin, but improves skin elasticity and firmness enhancing the overall appearance of your skin. With its light texture, it hydrates and softens the skin's surface layers to give the skin a velvety smoothness. The body regains energised and revitalised skin.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What I love about this product is that it is a lightweight milky lotion that absorbs into the skin instantly. It also has a light pleasant scent that is not overpowering. Even though it is creamy, it doesn't leave any sticky residue on the skin. Formulated without parabens, this moisturizer is suitable to use in winter and summer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I generally use this every morning after a shower and apply it all over my body, particularly concentrating in dry areas such as elbows, knees and my hands. Since it doesn't leave a residue I can get dressed immediately. With continuous use I found my body felt and looked hydrated. I only have a few uses left now but this is a product that I will purchase and recommend to any one who is looking for a light weight body moisturizer. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This powder foundation comes in a whopping 20 shades so you should be able to find a good match for your skin tone. It retails for $68 and you get 11gms of product. I like using a powder foundation on lazy days when I don't want to spend a lot of time on my makeup but still want some coverage on my acne spots and a matte face. I have the colour Honey which is a touch darker on me but this shade will be perfect for me in the summer. SW is a finely milled soft pressed powder that goes on very smoothly on the skin. I like using a kabuki brush to press the powder into my skin. I find that it lasts about 5 hours after which I have to reapply on my T-Zone. It doesn't make me look super shiny but I still find a little glow coming through. I like how it covers most of my acne scarring and looks quite natural on me. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sometimes if I need really full coverage, I would use this powder over my foundation and I find it makes my foundation last a lot longer. This powder foundation is very similar to MAC's Studio Fix powder foundation but a tiny bit more finely milled. I do find the cost, shade range and amount of product of MAC is much better. When I use my studio fix I find my face looks like I have powder on (also oxidizes on my skin), but with Skin Weightless it feels very natural. I do prefer Skin Weightless but it is quite expensive so I am not sure if I will repurchase it once I run out.</span><br />

Hey guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
Today I bring to you new products from Essence that have recently been released at Target stores across Australia. The Be Loud collection has blushes, eyeshadows, jumbo lip pencils, nail polishes and eye liners. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I picked up the blushes in <b><i>Pink Me</i></b> and <b><i>Ap-ri(C)ot</i></b> and the Jumbo lip pencil in <b><i>Pink me</i></b>.</div>

The blushes look like baked blushes (Think Hourglass ambient blushes) with different colour veinings, but they are not baked. <b><i>Pink me</i></b> has red, candy pink and baby pink veining. <b><i>Ap-ri(c)ot</i></b> has orange, peach and coral veining. Both the blushes have very good pigmentation and a little goes a long way. The application was a little patchy but with a little blending it looked seamless. They did stay on for about 6 hours after which they faded. </div>

The <b><i>Pink Me</i></b> jumbo pencil is a glossy, sheer lip pencil. The colour can be built up and is very comfortable on the lips. It doesn't last very long though, probably an hour or two if you don't eat or drink anything. It doesn't stain the lips either so reapplying throughout the day is necessary. </div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I am going to share with you my MAC lipstick collection from the permanent range. I do have a few limited edition lipsticks but I wanted to share with you the ones you can get hold of now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been collecting MAC lipsticks for the past 3 years now and have gone through quite a few colours and have repurchased them. MAC have a wide variety of lipstick shades and finishes and sometimes its easy to get really overwhelmed by them. My favourite finish from MAC has to be Satin and Amplified, although I do have, almost one of each finish in my collection (including limited edition shades). The only finish I don't have are Glaze and Frost which I am not very keen on anyways.</div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lets start with <b><i>Dare You (Cremesheen)</i></b> and MAC describes it as a deep brown red which is exactly how I would describe it too. It is a very warm red with brown undertones and would flatter medium to dark skin tones. I don't wear many reds so thats why I own only one Red lipstick from MAC.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>Twig (Satin)</i></b> is a soft muted brownish-pink again very apt. This colour is a MLBB shade for Indian skintones and darker. I love using this as an everyday shade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><br></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>Lovelorn (Lustre)</i></b> is a Emotive Blue Pink, it is a very light blue based pink which is great on light to light medium skin. On me it does wash me out but since its a lustre finish, I can still get away wearing it. Lovelorn was my very first MAC lipstick I bought. <b><i>Creme in your coffee (Cremesheen)</i></b> is a creamy mid-tone pink brown. This colour is very similar to Twig but with a hint more brown and with a creamier glossy finish. This is my most used colour and this is the second tube I have bought of this colour, which again I am almost finishing up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><br></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>Captive (Satin)</i></b> is a pinkish plum colour and is great for the autumn and winter months. Since it is a satin finish, it is quite true to colour and with one swipe you get the most beautiful berry coloured lips. <b><i>Taupe (Matte)</i></b> is a muted reddish-taupe brown, again this colour is something I would reach for everyday, it is quite a darker brown nude on me but since it is a matte formula it stays on for a longer period of time on the lips and is not drying at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>Del Rio(Satin)</i></b> is a muted plum-brown shade, this colour is very similar to Captive but just more darker and more plummy. I haven't used this shade at all because I didn't know it was in my stash for a very long time. Hopefully I will get some use out of this colour now if not, in the next winter months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly <b><i>Cosmo (Amplified Creme)</i></b> is describes as a Pink coco. I recently got this lipstick by returning 6 empty MAC products and it is fairly new. I have used this maybe twice and I am falling in love with it. This colour is the perfect nude pink for my skin tone and I think I may be loving it a little more than my Creme in your coffee. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hey guys,</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I recieved the August <a href="http://www.lusthaveit.com.au/index.php/fab_box/">Lust Have it FAB box</a> a few days ago and I want to share with you the contents of this box. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For those who don't know what the FAB box is, It is a monthly subscription service by Lust Have it which contains 4-5 Fashion and Beauty items each month. This box is a little more expensive than the Lust Have it Beauty box and retails for $35. I joined this service because I was quite impressed with the contents last month and I thought it was totally worth the $35 you spend each month.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In this month's box we got the products in a pink mesh bag, which I really like because its a fine mesh and can be used for so many things. The products included three Butter London nail polishes in <i>Lovely Jublee</i>, which is a purple glitter nail polish with pink, red and blue glitter in it; <i>British Racing Green</i> which is a metallic dark forest green and <i>Crumpet</i> which is a nude skintone beige colour. Although I really like the colours I am not a nail polish person and don't wear it at all. I would have been happier if they had included atleast one makeup item instead of three nail polishes. Nonetheless, Butter London is a very good brand for nail polishes and they are quite expensive too. Here they say it retails for $22 each but when I checked online on <a href="http://search.adorebeauty.com.au/search?p=Q&lbc=adorebeauty&uid=28045810&ts=custom&w=butter%20london&af=br:butterlondon%20resulttype:products&isort=score&method=and&view=grid">Adore Beauty</a>, I found these three colours were on sale for $19.95 each, which is still quite expensive for one nail polish. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There were also some vouchers included this month, but I don't use them so they went straight in the bin.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This box also came with two beautiful jewelry peices which I am totally in love with. I have nothing like these in my collection and they are great for the spring and summer. The quality of the jewelery is quite nice and heavy and definitely don't feel cheap. I don't think they are worth the price it says on the card, like you could get stuff like this from Colette and Lovisa for around $12-$20, but nonetheless they are still very pretty and I love them.</span></div>

<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Winter is almost over but I wanted to share with you my morning skincare routine that helped me beat the cold dry weather. Although we are now headed into spring I think I can continue this routine till we hit summer, where I might have to switch up a product or two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KrEIgwr24gM/U_wj1BfOgQI/AAAAAAAAB8g/wu_kkZkpMak/s1600/morning%2Bskincare.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KrEIgwr24gM/U_wj1BfOgQI/AAAAAAAAB8g/wu_kkZkpMak/s1600/morning%2Bskincare.JPG" height="468" width="640"></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways as for now, I have been cleansing my face and applying a thin layer of <i><b>Indeed Hydraluron</b></i>- Everyone in the beauty community knows about this revolutionary product. I first thought it was a gimmic and went off it for a month. Thats when I noticed it did make a difference to my skin. My skin felt and looked more supple when I used this product. So I am back to it now and its here to stay. I already have a back up incase I run out of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While the Hydraluron dries I apply my favourite lip balm at the moment- <b><i>Chapstick Cake Batter</i></b> on my lips and also the <b><i>Origins Super Spot Remover</i></b> on any inflammed or obvious acne. I know this spot treatment is to be done on clean skin but I find this way it works better for me. While that dries I go onto my eyes and apply my <b><i>Boots Serum 7 Anti Wrinkle Eyecream</i></b>. I haven't noticed any anti-wrinkling happening under my eyes but this stuff helps keep my undereyes hydrated and also helps the concealer to not crease. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly I moisturize my face and neck with the <b><i>L'oreal Youth Code Luminosity Moisturiser</i></b>. This moisturiser has a nice sheen ( not exactly shimmer but very fine micro shimmers) in it and helps my skin look radiant. Even though I have oily combination skin, anything that helps my skin look glowy during the dry winter months are my best friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Do you change your skin care products depending on the season? </div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up the new L'oreal Infallible foundation a few weeks ago when they were on sale at Priceline and have been using it religiously since then. I have tested it a lot and think I can give you a really honest review about this foundation now. (Warning- Pic Heavy)</div>

I am in the colour 150 Radiant Beige and this foundation comes in 7 shades ranging from the lightest being Vanilla and the darkest being Honey. I am an NC 37-40 in MAC and this shade suits me perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This foundation claims to have full coverage and ingredients to give a flawless hydrated base. I completely agree with the claims L'oreal have made, as this foundation is pretty darn impressive. I have very uneven skin with a lot of acne spots. By applying multiple thin layers, I can achieve almost full coverage (for my liking) with only this foundation. If I want to look completely flawless I will add a tiny bit of concealer but most days its only this foundation on my face. </div>

I have used this foundation with multiple products and I am going to tell you what my favourite combo is. We will start with primer, I found that using a water based primer opposed to a silicone based one works really well and helps blend the foundation into the skin better. With a foundation like this it is very easy to have too much on your face. I have tried multiple brushes, sponges and my fingers but the best applicator I found for this foundation is the Real Techniques Buffing brush. Also use thin layers instead of putting on two pumps in one application, or else it cakes like crazy. Another thing I found with this foundation was using a loose powder to set it gives a flawless look, but using a pressed powder completely ruins the look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see in the above pics I have blended the foundation over my wrist which has some veins showing and this foundation really covers the colour pretty well with just one this layer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite primer to use under the L'oreal Infallible foundation is the Australis Primer and I like setting it with the Australis Ready Set Go finishing powder. All these three products go really well together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">FOTD Wearing the Infallible foundation.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do work long hours and have tested this foundation for 11 hours after application. It does emphasize dry patches so make sure to exfoliate and moisturize really well. First of all it oxidises so it is safe to go a shade lighter than you normally would. Secondly, you have to set it with a powder if you have oily/ combination skin or else you will look like a grease ball in 6 hours. Even with a powder I find that close to 7 hours I get a tiny bit shiny but blotting it with a tissue seems to fix the problem. After 9 hours there is some patchiness around my chin and nose. At the 10 hour mark it faded away from my forehead and cheek but not drastically. It didn't last 24 hours as it claims because I haven't tried it for that long but 10 hours is pretty long too so I am not complaining.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I think this is a really good foundation if you are someone who doesn't have the time to touch up during the day and would like a flawless even finish. I do highly recommend this foundation if you can find your shade match which is my only complaint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of you would know MAC collaborated with Sharon and Kelly Osbourne and came out with a really fun collection that is now available in Australia online and in store.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up a few products from the collection and I am quite impressed with them. From the Sharon Osbourne collection I picked up the blush in <i><b>Peaches and Cream</b></i> and lip pencil in <b><i>Cranberry</i></b>. From Kelly's collection I picked up the blush in <b><i>Cheeky Bugger</i></b> and lipstick in <i><b>Kelly Yum Yum.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like both collections packaging which is red for Sharon and a light lilac for Kelly. Also Sharon's packaging is more glossy and Kelly's packaging gives a satin/ soft look. All the products have the corresponding signatures on them, which I thought was really cool. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now onto what I think of the products, the<i> Cranberry</i> lip pencil is a gorgeous medium reddish pink which looks really good on its own or topped of with a nude or clear gloss. I am going to be using this pencil a lot during spring and summer. <i>Peaches and Cream</i> blush is a gorgeous pink colour that looks absolutely beautiful on the cheeks. The consistency is a little hard but I get that with all MAC blushes. That does not hinder the pigmentation of this blush, you only need a little product for a full impact. The finish if this blush is Satin and there is no shimmer or glitter in this blush but it is not completely matte too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kelly's blush in <i>Cheeky Bugger</i> is a little disappointing because it is a little too light for my complexion. I can still work with it now, but in summer when I get a little tanned this would completely wash me out. It is a light baby pink colour with warm undertones. When I swatched this shade I had tiny flex of glitter transfer to my swatch. The finish of this blush is Satin too but I am not sure if mine had a teeny tiny bit of glitter in by mistake. Lastly I got the lipstick in <i>Kelly Yum Yum</i> which is a bright candy pink with more warm undertones. </div>

As you can see in the above swatch there are some flex of glitter on <i>Cheeky Bugger</i>. It did not transfer to my cheek but I could see some in the pan too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall I think this was a very nice collection with some really different colours and my top picks would be the <i>Cranberry</i> Lip pencil and <i>Peaches and Cream</i> blush. Both these products would look good on a wide variety of skin tones.</div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ordered a few things from the <b>Benefit</b> <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/">US website</a> and wanted to share with you the products I bought. The main reason I wanted to place an order was because I wanted to try the <b>Lolli Balm</b> as it was not released in Australia but it has released now and you can buy it from Benefit counters at Myer for $26. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is definitely cheaper to purchase Benefit from the US website if you want to try out a few products as they have free international shipping if you spend over $125. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now onto the products I bought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBj_hnX5u8Tv7PGDx7eF1RXiIAQtg-Ozuv0Y4pQHmcZbgC3LE5GBXf2ateqfGLG6Z13c3WDwGoqrWcIRn3Nj3QnpiV3X_oOUUkO85uCad0G-mz97ncwBLbmnKoXB4dNjvlVHrJbtTzLy8/s1600/IMG_1897.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBj_hnX5u8Tv7PGDx7eF1RXiIAQtg-Ozuv0Y4pQHmcZbgC3LE5GBXf2ateqfGLG6Z13c3WDwGoqrWcIRn3Nj3QnpiV3X_oOUUkO85uCad0G-mz97ncwBLbmnKoXB4dNjvlVHrJbtTzLy8/s1600/IMG_1897.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First off we have the<b> Lolli balm</b> <i>RRP USD $18</i> which is a new release by Benefit and it is a tinted lip balm. I love the candy pink packaging and it smells delicious. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I purchased the <b>Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow</b> foundation in I'm all the rage Beige <i>RRP USD $36</i>. The last single product I purchased was the boxed blush in <b>Rockateur </b><i>RRP USD $28</i>, this is a gorgeous neutral blush shade which I am really into these days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Watts Up</b> has been on my 'to buy' list since last month when I saw it being demonstrated at the Sparkling Soiree event I attended. I took advantage of the<b> 'Customize your own kit'</b> in which you can select 4 products from various categories for <i>$79</i>. It all comes in a cute makeup bag which I forgot to include in the picture. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up the <b>Porefessional Agent Zero Shine</b> powder, <b>Watts Up</b>, <b>Boing Concealer</b> in number 3 and also the <b>Hydra smooth lip colour</b> in Talk Flirty. I did save $20 by opting for this kit instead of buying all these products individually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the free samples I chose the <b>It's Potent</b> eyecream and <b>Triple performing facial emulsion</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I paid <i>$170 AUD</i> for all these products and if I bought them from here I would have had to pay around <i>$268</i>. Thats savings of almost <i>$100</i>!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you really want to try out some Benefit products I highly recommend buying them from the US website. Maybe ask a few friends and make a joint order. I am really excited to have a play around with my new products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you tried the new Benefit tinted lip balms? What do you think of them?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We all have some skincare products that work wonders for our skin and are hard to part with. I have found some really amazing products that I will not regret repurchasing all my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lSDc5w0OP5k/U9HmgLUyl_I/AAAAAAAAB0s/nQ7g2u76DS4/s1600/IMG_1794.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lSDc5w0OP5k/U9HmgLUyl_I/AAAAAAAAB0s/nQ7g2u76DS4/s1600/IMG_1794.JPG" height="508" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off we have <b><i><a href="http://www.meccacosmetica.com.au/shop/Origins/DrinkUpIntensiveOvernightMask/">Origins Drink Up- Intensive</a></i></b>, this mask is geared towards people with dry skin but I have oily, combination and skin and love using it during the winter. This mask isn't like a traditional mask that you apply and take off in a few minutes, this is more like a deep hydrating moisturiser that you put on at night before bed and you wake up to soft supple skin the morning. I also used this during my trip to India in the flight. We all know how important it is to stay hydrated in long flights as the air conditioning dries out your skin. I took it in a tiny sample container and applied this on my face when I felt my skin was feeling tight and dry. If you are scared to use this on oily skin just grab a sample next time you are at Mecca or Kit and I assure you are going to love it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up is the<i><b> <a href="http://www.meccacosmetica.com.au/shop/GlamGlow/YouthmudTinglexfoliateTreatment/">Glam Glow Youthmud Mask</a></b></i>, this product is not cheap but the results it delivers are amazing. I got a sample sachet of this from my friend <a href="http://www.themadeupmaiden.com/">Nalini</a> and just chucked it in my sample drawer thinking it was just a waste of time. Then I saw some videos on youtube which featured this product and immediately tried it on. I am not exaggerating but the results this mask gives is phenomenal. My skin feels cleansed, pores look smaller, overall complexion looks brighter and so soft that I always want to keep touching my face. This size that I have here is a smaller size available for $22. I probably would get around 4 uses out of this and I think it is completely worth it. I am not sure if Mecca gives out samples of this mask but if you can grab a sample, just try it out and you will go running back for more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tgb0CmISvoI/U9HmgoFw6TI/AAAAAAAAB0o/Ac3awsVi6SI/s1600/IMG_1796.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Tgb0CmISvoI/U9HmgoFw6TI/AAAAAAAAB0o/Ac3awsVi6SI/s1600/IMG_1796.JPG" height="458" width="640" /></a>Another hyped- overpriced product is the <b><i><a href="http://www.esteelauder.com.au/product/8290/26959/Product-Catalog/Best-Sellers/Skincare/Advanced-Night-Repair/Synchronized-Recovery-Complex-II/index.tmpl">Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair</a></i></b> serum that I am running low of and desperately waiting to stock up on. I bought this serum last year around October and have used it since almost every night. I can totally tell the difference when I don't use it on some nights as my skin feels very dry and dull looking. When I use this product I do not use a toner as I want this to be the first product to sink into my skin after I have cleansed it. I do wake up with healthier, radiant looking skin when I use this product.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but no the least is this <b><i><a href="http://tartecosmetics.com/tarte-item-pure-maracuja-oil">Tarte Maracuja oil</a></i></b> which I again use only at night over the EL ANR. This product is hard to find in Australia but there are some websites that do ship Tarte products here and the prices are almost 4 times the original cost. I wouldn't mind paying that much because I know this product works for me. You only need 3-4 drops for your entire face and neck and this oil smooths out the skin's texture but does not feel heavy or oily. I have tried rosehip oil before but I think this does do a lot more for my skin than any other traditional rosehip oil. </div>

Hey guys,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I attended the Sparkling Soiree a few weeks ago, which is a blogger/ vlogger event organised by the lovely Jasmine from <a href="http://www.sweetaholic-beauty.com/">Sweetaholic Beauty</a> and Melissa from <a href="http://bbubbles16.blogspot.com.au/">Bbubbles16</a>. It was held at The Gallery Room in the city which was a beautiful cosy event room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The event started off with <a href="http://the-beautybox.blogspot.com.au/">Erin</a> performing a facial on Bethany and then the gorgeous ladies from John Plunkett, Benefit and LonVitalite gave us product demos and information. </div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those who read my blog may know that I love false lashes and when I saw <a href="http://www.ivorylash.com/index.php">Ivory Lash</a> on Instagram, I knew I had to try them out. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Ivory Lash- "So this is how our story begun. Based in Sydney, we feel it is about time that affordable mink lashes are made available in Australia. We searched high and low to find a supplier that abide to our standards of quality and guaranteed no cruelty free practices. Luckily for us we found it, and we want to share this excitement with you. At Ivory Lash our mission is to enhance your naturally radiant eyes, we want all women of all ages to discover their inner goddess to feel confident and beautiful. </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Our products are made of the finest mink hair and handcrafted to ensure the quality of each lash. Each strand of lash is carefully placed onto a flexi cotton band to give your eyes a voluminous natural look. Mink lashes have a natural shine and luscious property that is almost indistinguishable to our own lashes. These lashes are especially comfortable for everyday use as they are soft and light as feather. No wonder mink false lashes quickly become an essential makeup accessory loved by many celebrities."</i></span></b></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never tried Mink lashes before and although they are very expensive I find the quality of lashes remarkable. For everyone who has never tried false lashes before, I would recommend to try Mink Lashes atleast once and you are going to be hooked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2WlI0vP3m28/U-W-_FYJsXI/AAAAAAAAB5A/cvFKf2-Lq4o/s1600/ivory+lashes.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2WlI0vP3m28/U-W-_FYJsXI/AAAAAAAAB5A/cvFKf2-Lq4o/s1600/ivory+lashes.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lashes I bought are the "<b><i>Smitten Kitten</i></b>" from the Natural collection. They come in a neat cardboard box with a plastic insert which hold the lashes. These lashes are as light as a feather and super luxurious feeling. This particular style starts off shorter at the inner corners, cris-crossing its way to the outer corners where the strands are longer. I personally find lashes on a thick band very uncomfortable and prefer lashes that have an invisible lash band. But Mink lashes have to have some support thus are on a thick cotton band. To my surprise these lashes were very comfortable to wear and I did not even feel them on my eyes. They also blend in very naturally and don't look as though I am wearing lashes. I don't like very long lashes as they look quite unnatural on me and these have the perfect length that I look for in lashes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These lashes are also reusable to about 20-25 times if you take care of them so that comes down to $1 per application which is not bad at all, considering human hair / synthetic lashes can be used 4-5 times and retail for half the price but come down to $3-4 per application. The picture above is after 4 uses of the lashes and they still look like brand new.</div>

Overall I am very happy with the quality of Ivory Lash in Smitten Kitten and would definitely love to try out more styles especially from their Plush collection. These lashes retail for $25 and can be bought from <a href="http://www.ivorylash.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=33_66&product_id=66">here</a>.</div>
