Lush | Easter

Lush | Easter

Easter is one of my favourite times a lush (apart from Christmas) so I went a little crazy.. Firstly I ordered the carrot soap which I can't really identify the smell of but its good. Its made mainly of carrot oil and coco butter leaving your stun with a soft moisturised feel. Immaculate eggception bath bomb and the Immaculate eggception bath bombs both have a hidden surprise inside (a chick or bunny mini bath bomb). Mine seem to smell different although they are both lemon and grapefruit scented. Next i grabbed the Fluffy Egg bath bomb because jelly bean sensed water sounded great. Alhough it is very similar smelling to a christmas favourite snow fairy so if your not a fan of that i wouldn't recommend that one.. Next i ordered the Golden Egg bath bomb, which is a cream egg inspired bath bomb but reversed (so a creamy soft outside with a hard inside) this is basically honey i washed the kids in a bath bomb. Which i love. Lastly is something i didn't order the Rub Rub Rub scrub which was given to me in my order as a random act of kindness that you pass forward. Im giving this to my mum so she let me open if for the photo, from what i smelt it was very salty (oh probably as its sea water scrub hehe) 
Hope you enjoyed..

ASOS Order | Sale

ASOS Order | Sale

So as ASOS was having a bit of a sale i decided what a better time to pick up a few little things.. Now i will admit the perfume isn't from ASOS but it was on sale and is i believe available on there! 


Im utterly obsessed with fawns so obviously seeing this i had to have it now this one wasn't featured on the sale but as it wasn't to pricey i thought id show you. This is a little vintage inspired lunchbox, I'm just going to sit this one up on a shelf as its to cute to use and I'm a little scared the print might come of as i wash it.

Now this one i picked up form a small little chemist i spotted with a big sign saying up to 60% off. Now i will admit i went in looking to find the daisy perfume by Marc Jacobs (Oh so fresh). But instead i grabbed this as who can resist a $80 discount? Its quite a floral sweet sent that at first i wasn't so keen on as it is a little different for my previous fragrances but with a little bit of time i have grown to really love this stuff.


Lastly i picked up this blush by the balm of ASOS whilst it was on sale. Oh boy i love this stuff. its super pigmented with a little bit of shiner that i apply just to the apples of me cheeks and i think it really brightens my face. This is definitely an unexpected favourite.

Vintage ASOS | Fashion

Vintage ASOS | Fashion



While i was scrolling through the ASOS sale i noticed this lovely shirt (which may i add, had a reduction of $40) i noticed that ASOS actually sell vintage and boutique clothes. Which i had never noticed before.  These are all so lovely and well sized. Definitly worth taking a look if your into that.  I pair this one with a pair of boots and black skinny jeans (this ones in small).

Four Things I Cant Live Without | Beauty

Four Things I Cant Live Without | Beauty



Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs is a bright, floral, fruity fragrance that has undertones of musk and I'd say beauty! This  is from the set of four daisy perfumes in 4ml samples. Though I loved them all the instant I smelt this I was totally obsessed and I definitely recommend it if your wanting to try out a new perfume! 



Instablur by the body shop is a velvet feeling primer that I use almost every day, though I don't think it really prolongs my foundation it does help with a smoother even coverage. 
Next up is my Estée Lauder double wear concealer, I use this on my dark circles as I have purchased it a shade lighter, it applyes well with a brush though if I have dry under eyes it does crease, but I love this most on the redness under my nose and on blemishes it's very good with coverage.
Last is the eyeshadow in the shade pink by Designer Brands, I use this as a blusher as I like it better and have only recently when writing this realised it was an eyeshadow. Never the less it's a bright gorgeous pink that reminds me of the Estée Lauder!
Hope you liked it....

Cactus + Succulents | Home

Cactus + Succulents | Home

Now I'm no plant expert and i will admit i have (Unintentionally of course) killed a fair amount of plants in my time, wiether thats forgetting to water them or keeping them in places with little sunlight. so finding a durable plant that can withstand my commitment issues is perfect. Which is why i have of the recent fallen in love with cactuses. Even though they still need a little TLC there far less hard to handle and the best bit is they survive inside. All they need is a well lit area, a little water and food each time the soil fully dries! And they look cute too.


This one was a present from my parents. 


The one on the left is from my boyfriend and on the right is a little planter my parents found for me at a vintage stall. I then added in this little succulent which i think makes it super cute.

Hope you liked it..

Minimal Makeup Look | Beauty

Minimal Makeup Look | Beauty

Ive been wearing a little less makeup as of recent as it can look just as good as a lot so i though id share my favourite products for creating a minimal look.

Like everyone i start with my base, mine is a BB cream by the body shop in shade 02. It comes out white in colour and then adapts to you skin tone. Its very light weight and hydrating for the skin. 



Then i go in with a concealer, mines the double wear by Estee Lauder. I only apply this around my eyes and any considerable spots. This one has a very matte Finnish and is great for blemishes. 



Next i move on the brows and go in with an angled brush and a revlon link eyeshadow but there was no colour named though it was the middle shade brown. ( Which i didn't have a photo of ). Even though this is a minimal look i always use a highlighter on the top of my cheeks and on my cupids bow ( this ones by Loreal in the light shade). 


Then i use my Volume Million Lashes mascara also by Loreal, which is my all time favourite mascara as it adds extra volume without the clumpy look. It lasts all day and can be removed easily with a makeup remover wipe. 


Then lastly as i always have dry lips, i go in with a balm or my natural beige lipstick also by Loreal which is just lightly pigmented and super moisturising. 
Hope you liked it..

Soaps | Beauty

Soaps | Beauty

A little birdy sent me these soaps that they picked up at Emu Plains Market quite a while ago. The instant i smelt them i knew it would be love. They smelled so natural and fresh. I always feel as clean as a bean after i use this with some super soft skin. The best part about it is there completely palm oil free so if you want to pick some of these wonderful little soaps there made by Urthly Organics.

New Products | Beauty

New Products | Beauty

                   
Ive been searching every where for the Dior BB cream which they don't stock in my local retailer. So instead i picked up two products as i wanted to try some new things.

The first is the ESSTE LAUDER Double Wear Foundation in the shade Pure Beige. The packaging is gorgeous and a litre heavy the only downside is it needs a pump for easier product application as its quite runny and hard to get a small amount out (also has a very strong smell). Although the coverage is one of the best i have tried it feels light on the skin and has a matte velvet Finnish and blends easily into the skin. Although it does last all day i think it feels quite heavy after long wear and when mixed with a powder. But It goes perfectly with there concealer alone!

The second product is from NYX. Its a lipstick in the shade Butter Buerre which is like a brown of shade it appears a little lighter in the photo that it does in real life. Its s beautiful colour that is totally matte. Its not incredibley moisturising but it does feel incredibly soft on.
