When You Think Of Bee's Do You Think Of Honey? I Think Of Burts Bees Lip Nourishes! (Review)

Hi Beauties!

Today i have a cute little review for you all thanks to a lovely lady called Lauren from BrandnewsoulutionsPR - (Website Link) Now when i received my little Burts Bees package in the mail i was beyond exited.

Let me tell you, i had never used a Burts Bees product until 3 years ago when i won a Priceline competition now me and Burts Bees Replenishing Lip Balms are lovers (so to speak) The reason i love Burts Bees so much? 

Because they actually add colour to most of their lip balms. You have to agree with me on this one... Doesn't a bit of colour mask up and hide red, dry and sensitive lips? As much as i like my chopsticks, Burts Bees knows how to make a girl with dry ass lips feel pretty!

The Right Way To Wash Your Hair. Are You Doing It Wrong?

Hi Lovers, 


Today i thought i would have a Q & A with my mum about how to wash hair properly. My mum is a hairdresser (winning) for the most part that is unless its going blonde (she wants nothing to do with that) When my mum isn't washing my hair in a hair basin i notice several things. Its too oily, its too dry. I have a flakey scalp. I have dry ends and oily roots.

Why?

With that being said it all comes down to one thing. How do i wash my hair? Until now its been pretty simple. Shampoo once, shampoo twice and conditioner once. I hardly do treatments until now i have been using an amazing one from Goldwell with a review coming soon but too cut a long post short, i realised my mum has a complete different way of doing it. I thought she was just being fancy but in fact there is such thing as a "right way".

The BEST Oils For Your Skin - Not Food... Well some can be for food too!

Hi Beauties, 

Today as i was applying some coconut oil to my face i asked myself "when did using things we eat become skin saviours? 

Thats when it dawned on me that natural oils and foods are actually the best things for your skin and i came to the conclusion that if someone opened my skincare draw they would think it was meant for my kitchen not my face.

Today I'm going to share with you what i personally think are the best skin care oils and why.

Mind, Body & Soul Monday - What Makes Me Feel Good Outside Helps Me Feel Good On The Inside!

Hi Beauties,

Todays Mind, Body & Soul Monday is all about the things that make me feel good on the good side because i am a firm believer that when you look your best you feel your best!

I would say skincare wise i use pretty much everything and anything and try and focus on most of that being organic. 

Lately i have found the perfect "Pamper Combo" as i like to call it. Once a week i give myself 1-2 hours of beauty time, i will be doing face masks, trying new makeup looks, playing with creams and tans and that leads to either being exteremly different shades of colour wether it be my lips, tan, eyes or what not i always make sure i find things that make me feel good!

Keep It Or Ditch It? Makeup Expiration Guide

photo from bloginty.com

Hi Lovelies,

Today as i am currently cleaning out my own makeup i thought i would share with you all my makeup expiration guide. I learnt this a few years ago so im a little rusty and when i say rusty i mean im a hoarder and i hate throwing away makeup! Especially if its hardly been used. 

Which brings me to my question, Whats worse? Keeping old makeup and using it once in a while? Or completely doing a makeup check, throwing out your old products and buying new ones (if you need them)?

Throwing them out course! Its pretty self explanatory but using old expired makeup can have horrible effects on your face and we all hate a breakout true? So here we go!

Dull & Tired Skin? Try This Payot Face Masque Now!

Hi Lovelies

Today i have another skincare review for you all.

This is one of my favorite face masques ever! I think its going to be a life time regular so Payot please dont discontinue this! 

This is full of one of the best super foods for your skin in the world! Goji Berries!  

I have very dull skin at times, i dont sleep enough and at the best of times i eat way to much bad food and it really shows in my skin and i have tried so many masques and nothing seems to work. Until now.. 

Perfect Palette Tag!

Hello! 

I was tagged in the perfect palette tag (or messy palette tag by the look of mine! by the lovely and gorgeous Erin from The Beauty Box. Im not a palette kind of girl. I find a palette i like and i usually stick it because i think personally its really hard to find great combinations. 

I have four Palettes i wouldn't change and i will be talking about them today.

I have my Melli Cosmetics Palette which is my absolute favorite and you probably saw the messy photo on instagram and then i have my mini essence palette for everyday as well as my two Napoleon Perdis palettes that i have been using for years!

7 Budget Beauty Tips & Tricks You Need In Your Life Now!

Hi Lovelies,

We all love a beauty steal and personally what i love even better than that? Tips and tricks that cost me next to nothing and make me feel like a million dollars! Lets face it, me and my paper shredder are having a stand off. I should put my credit card in there and shred it up until i can work down my bill but instead it is getting higher and higher because of my shopping obsession. 

The only way i will stop is if my card is eaten by my paper cutter.

Im not going to lie to my readers or myself and even attempt the spending ban. I cant do it.
My love for Priceline (Australia's Drugstore) is too strong. Although i have decided to make the decision to budget a little more and i want to share my beauty tips to save a little and still benefit alot!

Hi Beauties,

Can you all forgive me for my lack of posting? The last two weeks have been crazy for me and i am usually posting every second day and have hardly had time for two posts but now im back in action for good.

If you follow my instagram (here) you will see i am trying out a bunch of natural and organic skincare products and im so exited to share my thoughts with you all.

In the meantime today i thought i would talk to you about something that has been getting a lot of attention lately. Oil Pulling! How do you do it? How does it benefit you? 

Mind Body & Soul - Did You Know Soaking In An Oatmeal Bath Can Help Dry Skin? Home Remedies For Dry Skin!

photo from organicskintreatment

Hello Lovelies!

How was everyone's Easter?
Sorry for my lack of posting over the long weekend. It has been super busy for me going up and down seeing family that i have hardly had time blog, but now im back! 

We are all familiar with the basics aren't we? 
Moisturize your face and body everyday and wear sunblock and drink alot of water but sometimes that is not enough. Especially when the colder months hit and the dry skin hits even harder! 

Now im back with a new post for you all! As it is Autumn going on Winter in Australia my skin is suffering from super dryness! As you all know i love nothing more than sharing natural and organic products, tips, ticks and information so today i have some home remedies for helping dry skin that wont break the bank (especially if you spent a little too much on Easter eggs like me) I cant stress enough that sometimes a tea spoon of honey does much more than a $50 face cream.

Mind Body & Soul - Benefits Of Lemon Water

Hi Loves,

My posts have been a little random as of lately, still consistent but my days are a little mixed up! I have been super busy and apologize once again!

Today i want to talk to you about Lemon Water. Im sure alot of people are familiar with this and if your not im going to give you a little rundown! By now every beauty,fashion,lifestyle blogger is aware that the best beauty tips are the natural/organic ones! I swear by anything natural. It always seems to work miracles and this is something i have done for a long time! 

Lemon is a god-sent for beautiful skin. All you have to do is squeeze a little bit of lemon into a warm cup of water every morning a drink it. I do this before i have breakfast because after some research i found it is much better to have before you have anything to eat or drink!  

For the best benefits squeeze half a lemon into a full cup of water.

Now shall i fill you in on the benefits? I think so! 

Friday Favorites (On A Saturday) - Benefit Gimme Brow!

Image*Benefitcosmetics.com

Hey Lovers,

This should of been posted on Friday but i have been so so busy at work that by the time i get home I'm asleep!

I have another favorite for you today and it is my Benefit Gimme Brow! I recently have become Benefit obsessed, I have always liked the products but being a former "All i own is Napoleon Perdis" I didn't branch out far from the tree and now that i have i am SO glad i did.

You can read my review on Benefits Brow Bar & "Its Potent" Eye cream (here) and if you enjoyed that review you will enjoy this one. Over the years i never cared much for my eyebrows, I waxed when i had to wax and i didn't care how they looked as-long as they were even. Then i began to study beauty and fashion in depth. I also would Google everything and anything slightly related and it dawned on me.. My eyebrow game needs to be strong, you look at people like Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie and realise they dont have tiny barely there eyebrows they all have a nice arch and some thick definition so i started my plan to grow out my eyebrows, and believe me it was not pretty!

Friday Favorites - New Organic Skincare Range? Dont Mind If I do! Happy Skin Care - "Cloud 9" Deep Cleansing Balm!

Have you ever heard the saying "I feel like im on cloud 9"? Well i am literally on Cloud 9 (skincare) I recently discovered this brand through DDGD (here) and it caught my eye because im a sucker for anything organic so i rushed to the website and got myself the Deep Cleansing Balm because my skin has overall been oily lately and i cant seem to cure my blackhead issue and this seemed like the perfect product as the website reads:

"The ‘Cloud 9′ Deep Cleansing Balm cleanses and moisturises at the same time (unlike common cleansers). By using organic plant oils to dissolve the oily impurities in your skin it gently melts away daily grime, oxidised sebum (black heads), makeup and sunscreen without leaving your skin drier than an Australian desert."

Let me tell you this product does EXACTLY what it promises!

Friday Favorites - Lip Fillers! (Not Botox) The Controversy Regarding them, why I have and love them, AND what you need to know if your considering them!

Hi Lovelies!

Today i want to talk about lip fillers. The reason this is a Friday Favorite is because i have had them done (for the third time) and if i am using, trying, wearing something more than once it counts as a favorite of mine. I want to talk about this because i think before doing them everyone should be properly informed. I'm in no means an expert and im not telling you to go out and do this, because if its not for you, its not for you. It is a sensitive and controversial topic for some but im sure all of my readers have open minds and wont judge this. 

If its something you have thought about, Googled, or even considered because a friend has done it or its been a recommendation at a beauty clinic, you should continue reading. One thing i do show you is the REAL before and after photos! When you research lip fillers you see the good, settled perfect lip minus the swollen one you have for 1-3 days afterwords and that's something you need to take into consideration before you try this.

Wear It Wednesday - Lazy Day Items

Hello! As you all know from my previous Wear it Wednesday (here), Autumn/Winter are my favourite seasons i just personally think the fashion is better! The options are endless and you can layer, layer, layer! I love nothing more than a knitted sweater paired with jeans but what i like more than that? Tracksuit pants, runners and a jumper! 

Today i put together my Autumn lazy day lists. We all have a lazy day, some of us have the luxury of having them more than once or twice a week, but the majority, its usually just a Saturday or Sunday. Below is my collection of lazy day skin and beauty products, outfits and a little decor mixed in because I'm decor crazy and at the moment im loving monochrome (black&white) decor!
