Essence Me & My Ice Cream Lip Balm

So today I headed into Priceline and picked up a few things. One of the things I had gotten was a lip balm from the Essence Me & My Ice Cream range.


This lip balm is average. I am not the biggest fan. You remember how when you were little and you would get the kids lip balm and glitter sets? Well this lip balm is like the ones you get in that.

It is thick and heavy and not very nourishing. So if you lips were already chapped (which mine where) it hurts to put on.

This would not be something I would buy again. There isn't much movement and moisture in it for me. So I think I will stick to my lip smackers... Haha

Subtle Smoky Eye xx

I love smoky eyes, but sometimes it just makes me look like a cake face if I am wearing a bold lip or I am wearing it during a nice sunny day.

On those types of occasions, I will opt for a subtle Smoky Eye. This look is actually quite easy to create and looks great with almost anything. Since it is now spring I have been straight back into my Coral Colours and Orange. Orange Lippy is a must for me in Spring :)

So here is how to achieve a subtle smoky eye:

My two main brushes for this look is a bullet and a flat brush.






So I don't like to wear eye primer. It just doesn't feel right to me and my makeup will tend to "slip" as I call it from the silicone in eye primer. I do use it sometimes but it isn't a staple in my cosmetics bag. Instead I will just use a concealer and a professional one by a brand named Kett. So above I have just applied that to my lids but just use whatever works best for you.

As we all know a cream or liquid must be set with a powder so I have just used a matte skin coloured eye shadow, and then highlighted with a matte white :) I prefer a matte white as apposed to a traditional shimmer. That'd just my preference as I am very tan most of the year through so a shimmer white gives me a weird look.
I have also filled in my brows. I just use an eyeshadow.




Then I have taken a dark grey liner with a bit of shimmer. Drawn it onto the back of my hand like a crayon, ran my straight eye brush through it, and applied it to the outer third of my upper and lower lid and smudged out with my dome brush.


Then all that's left is to come in with a foundation lightly (if you wear it) and face powder to set it. Then a nice coral blush and Orange lippy. And well, of course, mascara!

Hope you enjoyed my quick and easy spring look with a subtle twist on the smoky eye!

Kardashian Kollection xx


So if you know me well, then you will know that I simply love the Kardashion Kollection range. And I always buy from Strandbags. KK is my go to for handbags, purses and clutches.

So when my partner randomly picked this one up for me on our most recent trip to Melbourne, I was over the moon!

And best of all (which shows he knows me well) he got an animal print one for me. Man I adore him. I love animal print. Even our shower curtain is animal print!!

So just showing off my new purse/clutch. Yes a 2in1!!! It's between the both in size. It has the best set up! And heaps of card and money space! I don't usually keep money in my purse, but I usually keep my bills and receipts in there! So yeah, that's my latest accessorise. Hope you enjoyed this :)

Pureology Colour Stylist Mousse!! Xx


When at the Bridal expo I received a little freebie of the Pureology Colour Stylist Mousse. As well as their Shampoo and Conditioner!

I can't really comment on the quality of the shampoo and conditioner as I only had a once use sample, but from that one time use it did help with my dry ends :) short term obviously!

I have used the mousse a bit, as it's quite a generous size for a sample, and I only use a little bit each time. I don't like the fragrance of this mousse, but the other properties outweigh the poor fragrance.
It's not a bad smell, I just don't like it.

This product doesn't make my hair look like wire, but it does help my hair to stay put for my everyday styling. Which is a good bonus (most I try do fail in that aspect, waste of money products!!)

So I give this product a 9/10. It only lost a point because of the fragrance!!
