This is a review I’ve been meaning to do for a long time now, but just haven’t ever managed to get around to! I bought US-based stylist Josh Rosebrook’s ‘Tinted Nutrient Day Cream’ along with his ‘Lift’ Hair Texture & Volume Spray earlier this year (I will get around to reviewing ‘Lift’ soon I hope!).

It’s common sense to keep your skin moisturised year-round, but winter seems to be a season of neglect because all we want to do is keep ourselves covered up at all times, so often moisturising routines get put on the backburner. I think the importance of moisturising should never be underestimated, so here are my four essential products for ensuring your skin stays healthy in winter. Read the rest of this entry »
While blemishes are a fact of life, they are basically NEVER welcome visitors on anyone’s face. It seems as though we’ve all tried every trick in the book in an attempt to be rid of them; acne creams, tea tree oil, even toothpaste…
However, for many people these remedies have little to no visible or lasting results. Recently I have been testing out a couple of commercial natural blemish treatments, and I’ve had very different experiences with each. Before I get into it, I want to emphasise that skin types and chemical make-ups differ greatly from person to person, so what might be a wildly successful treatment for one person may do absolutely nothing for someone else, which is very important to remember when it comes to finding the right blemish treatment to suit your skin… Read the rest of this entry »
One, two, three, done!
Around 6 months ago I made the decision to chop 30cm off my hair! For many years I had extremely long hair and it became my signature feature, but in mid 2015 I got REALLY sick of the hassle of having thick, knotty-no-matter-what hair that I couldn’t do anything nice with hairstyle-wise due to the discomfort of its heaviness. I got the chop and donated my ponytail to charity so it could be used by someone who needed it more than I did, and for the first time in a very long time I had what I consider short hair (collarbone length)! While it has grown 6-8cm longer in the time since I had it cut, it is still much shorter than I am used to so I’ve had to get a LOT better at styling it. When my hair was long I did little more than just wash, brush and go, and it looked nice enough as it was without any heat styling. I very soon found that with short hair, I have to style it properly unless I want to walk around with an A-shaped head of hair. I’d been wanting to try Australian natural-based haircare brand Original & Mineral for ages but never did pre-cut because I knew I wouldn’t ever use the products; using anything in my long hair took a lot of effort (which I wasn’t willing to put in). However, post-cut I gave in and purchased one full-size product and three samples. A few of them have since become part of my regular haircare routine… Read the rest of this entry »

An rms flower and a handful of little pots of gold…
I am absolutely loving rms beauty. I’ve been using the lip2cheek in ‘Illusive’ since late last year, and it is without a doubt my FAVOURITE product to use. Ever. Seriously, if I could only use one piece of makeup for the rest of my life, I would choose Illusive without a second thought. It is the most beautiful lip and cheek colour; so flattering and rosey and wonderful!!! Read the rest of this entry »
The lowdown:
Nudus Australia‘s ’27 Kisses’ lipstick is becoming ever-increasingly popular among natural beauty bloggers, and I was super keen to try it out for myself to see what all the fuss was about.
From what I’d seen online, the colour was exactly the type of matte rosy-brown that I always look for in lip colours, and it certainly didn’t disappoint me in real life… Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve heard a lot about ‘beauty boxes’; the trend of ordering home-delivered boxes full of sample products from online beauty retailers. I’ve always been a bit put off by such boxes, as most of them are monthly, and subsequently a tad overwhelming. With the exception of full-time beauty editors, I don’t think anyone has the time or patience to try all those products every month! Not to mention spend a lot of money on products you might not ever even use… Read the rest of this entry »
