Favourite Summer Lipsticks!

Hey guys! 

Today we thought we would share our favourite summer lip products! As its summer we like to pull out our pinks, corals, and bright colours! 

Our first favourite lipstick we have been loving to wear this summer is the Wet n Wild Mega Last Lipstick in 'Think Pink'. Its a beautiful hot baby pink lipstick and screams summer to me! 


Secondly, one of my go to lipsticks has been the Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush Balm in the shade 'Give me a cuddle'. This shade is beautiful!!! Its just the perfect everyday shade but with a pop of pink. 


Next we have the Face of Australia Glossy lip crayon in the shade 'Berry Brûlée'. I love me some purple lipstick and always find a way to wear it even though its more suited to the colder months. This is just a glossy sherry tint go purple and is a great way to wear a bold purple lip but not be too dramatic.


Next, we have my absolute favourite NYX Butter Gloss and thats 'Angel Food Cake'. Its seriously the perfect my lips but better gloss!


NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in 'Antwerp' is our next favourite summer lipstick. This shade is amazing!! Its a pinky, coral shade and i just can't even explain how much i love this lip product! So creamy on your lips but still looks matte- there great!!


Lastly, we have the Bourjois Colour Boost lip crayon in 'Fuchsia Libre'. If I'm after a hot pink this is what i reach proof. It stains your lips and claims to be waterproof so its perfect for summer!!


Hope you guys liked out favourite summer lip products!

SensatioNail Gel Polish Starter Kit Review and Application

Hey guys!
We recently received this SensatioNail Gel Starter Kit in the shade Raspberry Wine and thought we would do a blog post on how to apply it and to let you know our thoughts on the gel kit. 


The Gel Starter Kit contains:
- A LED Lamp
- Gel Cleanser
- Gel Primer
- Colour Gel Polish
- Gel Base and Top Coat
- Lint-free wipes
- Double-sided nail buffer
- Manicure stick 
and claims to last 2 weeks of dazzling, damage- proof wear. 


Now to the application of the Gel Starter kit. I thought i would treat my mum and give her a manicure as I'm unable to wear nail polish due to work but super excited to apply this in a couple of weeks. So heres my mum as my lovely hand model!

Firstly, you need to prepare your nails. The kit includes a double sided nail buffer which is used to file your nails with the grey side then to lightly buff of the natural shine with the pink side. Taking a lint free wipe and gel cleaner i then cleaned her nails.


I then applied the Gel primer to my mum in circle motions just on the outside of the nail. This is suggested for easier removal of the polish and let it air dry for 30 seconds.


Next comes the Gel Top & Base Coat. I applied a thin layer to each nail- not touching the cuticle or skin around the nail along with capping the nail. This then needs to be cured or hardened in the LED lamp for 30 seconds. 


Next comes the Colour Gel Polish. Using the colour Raspberry Wine i shook the bottle then applied thin layers to each of my nails making sure to cap the nails. Then curing them for 60 seconds. 


I then applied a second coat to my mums nails. Curing them for another 60 seconds. 


Taking the Gel Top & Base Coat again i painted a thin layer of this over the nail polish capping each nail, then curing for 30 seconds.


Lastly, i took another lint free wipe and Gel Cleanser to clean the top of the nails.


And VOILA! they are finished! This colour is such a beautiful shade!


Once its all applied to the nails, your nails are super smooth and shiny. So far they have lasted 5 days without chipping or anything and are still looking perfect! 


SensatioNail also make a Gel Polish Removal Kit for easy removal of the Gel Polish. Ill keep you updated about the removal when i take of the gel polish!





Have you tried the SensatioNail Gel Starter Kit? What are your thoughts about it!

November Favourites! ft. Rimmel, Essence, NYX, Avon

Hey Guys!

November is over and the count down to Christmas begins! So here are the products that we have been loving this November!


Wonder'Full Mascara with Argan Oil: I have been loving this mascara recently. As a person that is obsessed with mascara i love the fact that this has Argan Oil in it. You don't feel as made putting the mascara on your eyes knowing there are products in it that are helping your lashes. Besides from the argan oil i love the effect it gives my lashes. I find i get no clumps and it really separates my lashes and coats them evenly. 


Essence Soo Glow Highlighter in 'look on the bright side': A super glowy, dewy highlighter. Its a cream to powder product so feels matte when its on the cheeks and is almost a white highlighter that blends into the cheeks with this champagne sheen to the skin. I have just been loving this- i use my fingers to apply it to help warm up and blend the product into the skin. 


Essence Natural Beauty Lipstick: The perfect everyday shade. A great 'my lips but better shade' mixed with a beautiful pink/coral touch. I have been reaching for this daily when i can't be bothered wearing a full face of makeup but still want to feel pretty!! 



Rimmel Exaggerate Auto Waterproof Eye Definer: I have this eyeliner in the shade 'in the nude'. Its just a nude creamy, pigmented pencil that looks great in the waterline to really brighten and open up your eyes. 



Avon Femme Perfume: This perfume smells amazing!!! It's states the smell starts of with a mixture of jasmine petals, pink grapefruit and luscious pear then moves to the heart of the perfume- magnolia, gardenia and water lily then leaves a lingering scent of amber woods, soft peach and musk. It just smells so good and slightly changes throughout the day but each stage of the scent just smells great!!




NYX Eyebrow Gel: I bought these in the shades Brunette and Expresso thinking that expresso would be my shade however its so dark and brunette is a much better shade even though its one of the lightest shades. My eyebrows are really dark so its obvious if there are sparse areas so I'm loving this to feel them in. Its waterproof and lasts ages so its perfect for summer.



Nude by Nature Mineral Powder: Over the last couple of weeks it has been so hot where i live that it is impossible to keep foundation from sliding of your face. Lately i have been reaching for my nude by nature mineral powder as it doesn't feel heavy on the skin and provides a light to medium coverage that evens out my skin tone. 


What products have you been loving this November?

Rimmel Provocalips 16HR Kissproof Lip Colour + All 8 Swatches

Hi Guys!

Today we bring to you swatches and a review of the new Rimmel Provocalips 16HR Kissproof Lip Colour Stains. There are 8 shades of these that range from nudes to dark plums. They retail for $17.95 and can be found here at price line! 



The lip colours are double ended and each contain the lip colour along with a clear gloss that prolongs the wear of the lip colour whilst adding moisture and shine!

First Impression: On my first application i noticed the lip colours are very similar to the colour of the packaging! The colours however when you apply them to the lips almost apply like a tint but are still very opaque. The lip colour drys within 60 seconds and couldn't be worn along as is drys and is very sticky and needs the clear gloss over the top to add shine and moisture back into your lips. About two minutes after i applied i took a tissue and blotted my lips to see if there was any transfer and there was nothing! Wiping the tissue then over my lips still took of no product and i can say these definetly last 16 hours! About 4 hours into wearing it after eating and drinking numerous times i did feel the need to apply the clear gloss again to add a bit more shine but the colour itself was still perfectly intact.

To remove these lip colours you will also need an oil based makeup remover, i tired Garnier Micellar All in One Cleansing Water which removes everything but these did not budge!

Now to the swatches of each colours- These have the best names ever!

Skinny Dipping 
A light brown nude colour.




Make your Move
A my lips but better shade with a hint of coral! I love this shade, perfect for everyday.




Dare to Pink
I found this one difficult to apply for some reason but i love the colour of this shade. A great baby pink nude colour!





I'll Call You
Possibly my favourite shade of them all! A bright yet still wearable pink with a purple undertone. I love it!




Little Minx
A classic glossy hot barbie pink shade.





Kiss Me You Fool 
An intense amazing warm toned red colour. This one is soo pigmented and bright.



Play with Fire 
A deeper red shade with a slight cool undertone. 




Kiss Fatal 
I found this shade actually not that dark but a great purple/plum colour with an almost metallic sheen to it. 




Skinny Dipping, Make you Move, Dare to Pink, Ill Call You, Little Minx, Kiss Me You Fool, Play with Fire, Kiss Fatal

(Just realised first two lip colours are switched!)

Hope you guys found these review helpful!

October Favourites!

Hey guys!

Hope October was kind to you. Here are our October favourites of beauty and skincare products that we have been loving this month!


Rimmel 25 hour foundation: So after picking up this foundation it has quickly become my favourite foundation! I have been reaching for it pretty much everyday. The foundation claims to wear up to 25 hours and be sweat, heat, humidity and transfer proof along with providing a full coverage with SPF 20- that pretty much just screams the perfect foundation to me. I would say the foundation is a medium to full coverage and it blends beautifully into the skin. With other foundations i do notice they slide around my face but this one does seem to be lasting the intense Australian heat we have been getting lately.

Australia AC on tour contouring and highlighting palette:
This picture pretty much just sums up why i love this palette soo much! Again i have been reaching of it everyday to create beautiful bronzed growly skin. For a full review with swatches on this palette check out my review here- AC on tour palette review


Maybelline master precise eyeliner: This eyeliner… This eyeliner has seriously changed the way i do eyeliner. Its perfect. It makes creating a small thin line and wing soo much easy i have been loving creating small wings everyday with out the struggle. I also love how its waterproof and lasts all day even when i do forget I'm wearing eyeliner and i rub my eye. 


EOS lipbalms: Not much i can say about these but there cute, colourful, smell and taste amazing and feel amazing on your lips. Totally worth getting your hands on if your like me and live in Australia. I bought mine from here!

Loreal Skin Perfector Instant Blur: I've been  a bit obsessed over this lately. A thick consistency that glides onto the skin to fill and cover your pores! Keep your eyes peeled for a comparison to the Benefit professional that will be coming very soon! 

Olay shine minimising cleanser: I have been using this for about 3 months now and absolutely love it! I have noticed a big change in my skin and it has defiantly helped reduce blemishes. To see my full skincare routine reaching this click here

Garnier micellar water: This product is seriously a game changer. Just when you think you have cleaned your face properly you rub a bit of this over it only to discover more makeup. I have been using this to completely remove my makeup before getting in the shower to cleanse and wash my face. This has also been a life saver to get all my halloween experiments of my face!

So what are your favourite products for October! Let me know as we would love to hear them!
