2016 has been an interesting year for everyone. Each person I have talked to has admitted that it has been a hard year. Whether it be personal issues or world issues it has just felt like there has always been something negative around the corner.  I don't want to reflect upon the bad things of 2016 though, wouldn't that be boring?! I want...

1. What is your favourite Christmas movie? Love Actually. It is my favourite movie ever in existence because: it's English, has a fantastic cast of all my favourite actors/actresses, has multiple adorable love stories, is hilarious, and is centred around Christmas. How can it get any better ^.^ 2. Do you open presents on Christmas eve or Christmas morning? Christmas morning. And we...

Makeup is a pretty freaking expensive hobby. Why couldn't I just have gotten into stamp or button collecting? *sighs* Today I decided to do something stupid and tally up how much my daily face costs. The result? $250!!! TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS.  And that's a pretty modest amount considering I went for a more basic look today. It's safe to say that...

Dreams can come true. Earlier this year my family was in talks about going to Japan for a ski/snowboarding holiday. This idea kinda faded away as we all got busy with university and work. Then two months ago I got home from a weekend staying with a friend in Brisbane and my family was ACTUALLY booking things. So we booked flights and then...

Today is a fun update cause I'm in Japan! I've officially been here for a week  and it's been incredible. Firstly my mum, two brothers, and I flew into Tokyo and spent four days there. It was a thrilling experience but quite overwhelming at some points because it so different from Australia. Luckily my mum has been to Tokyo two times so she...

This birthday I got many lovely gifts from my family and friends. I wasn't too sure on whether or not to do this post because I never like being seen as someone who is showing off their gifts...but all of these are SO affordable and would make excellent christmas presents. Will link everything where I can!   Perfect for the enthusiastic Christmas baker as...

Whether you're involved in the beauty world or not: you would have heard about all the hype with matte liquid lipsticks. Despite them being around for quite a long time they didn't make quite the impact as when Kylie Jenner released her liquid lipstick line. Since then each brand has brought out their own version of the liquid lipstick trend with some being...

Just thought i'd let you guys know that I haven't had internet for a week and IT HAS BEEN HELL. My morning routine is making myself a coffee and spending an hour or so blogging (reading blogs, finding new blogs, writing posts etc) and because of the whole "no internet" thing I have feel like a lost child in a supermarket. What do...

I wasn't blessed with beautiful curly hair like some girls. It's the same old argument of "straight haired girls want curls and curly haired girls want it straight" and I definitely apply in this situation! Although I don't mind my natural hair, which is really quite straight, I have always envied those girls with beautiful natural curls..where they can just wake up and...

No matter how much you're into make-up a great nude lipstick is something every girl should have. I'd consider them to be a secret weapon, something you can just apply on the run to feel all that more put together. Last year I had a massive nude lipstick phase and since then I have dwindled it down to these six which are my...

I blow A LOT of my money on travelling. I have no regrets. My view is that i'm young and I should just enjoy life before I start working full time and become more focused on buying a house or settling down. Not to say you can't travel when you work full time - but it is a bit more limiting than being...

I purchased this eyelash primer a few months ago when I attended the launch of NYX in Priceline. The launch was a blur as there were so many other shoppers rumaging through the various stock that I kinda just grabbed at anything. Admittedly, I always knew that an eyelash primer was kinda gimmicky. I can understand priming your face so it can hydrate...

October was a weird month but in the end everything turned out peachy because 1. I got offered my dream job 2. I had a lot of fun adventures with friends and 3. I booked tickets for a trip to Japan in early December (a.k.a  next month!). When it comes to beauty though, nothing has really changed. I'm the type of person who...

I finished my degree this year and it dawned upon me that I would have to get a job fresh out of uni. In Australia...

 If there is one brand that I have wanted to try for a LONG time: it is Colourpop. Unfortunately being an Australian is a curse on beauty lovers as shipping is always ridiculously expensive. Paying $25 on shipping?! Um, nooo thank you. So when Colourpop sent an email stating that it was FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING WHEN YOU SPEND OVER $50 I jumped on...
