By now, you've probably heard of Bella Box or maybe even Wellness Box - it's healthy, goodness-packed sister! In case you haven't (because you're obviously living under a rock!) Bella Box is a monthly-based subscription program where you get to try 5 (or more) of the latest and greatest products in Beauty for only $19.95 a month! A MONTH. I received my Bella Box after I got back from a work trip and it was honestly the most welcome delivery. Packaged in a cute blue box, my products arrived with a card that tells me exactly what's inside along with a little spiel about each of them. So SO handy ..read more

As a Makeup Artist, I am always on the hunt for the latest and greatest products; I can never go past a nude palette or luminous setting spray. *Cue Vani-T Cosmetics with their timely package* I received the Nude Eyeshadow Palette, Liquid Radiance Highlighter Drops, Dream Matte Bronzer and Ready Set Glow Setting Spray the day before I planned to film my Kim Kardashian Met Gala recreation. I had a quick play around with the products before settling in to film. Eyeshadow Palette 'Nude' $59.95 The palette has 12 shades, a mix of mattes and shimmers. They are easily blended with a decent colour p ..read more

To scrub or not to scrub? Lol jks that’s not even a question. Exfoliation is an essential step for ALL SKIN TYPES. It helps to buff away dead skin cells that build up on the surface causing breakouts and it reveals a more even, radiant, smoother complexion. They can come in different types, both physical (beads or bits) and “chemical” (lactic, salicylic, glycolic acids) and there are different exfoliants for different skins. From left:- Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Super gentle rice-based exfoliating powder that activates upon contact with water. Can be mixed with your favourite cleanser to ..read more

So everyone knows how extra I am with maintaining my skin. When it comes to my hair however, I’m really not too fancy. That’s all changed now that I have literally the entire range of Natural World Haircare in my bathroom. It’s a British Haircare range that’s vegan, cruelty-free, GLUTEN-free and made with Superfood ingredients.. I have the whole collection but obviously not every product will be suitable for me since my hair is super fine and frizzes at the drop of a hat. At the moment, I’m loving the Brazilian Keratin Shampoo+Conditioner duo and I’ve been traveling with the mini Coconut Hair ..read more

The other day I received a cute little gift pack from Ry.com.au and oh my, is it good! Inside was the uber-popular Goddess Eye Pencil in Smokey Black & Goddess Mascara, I also received the Isis Sun Goddess Palette and safe to say, these have been living their best life in my kit. Here are two shots of my beautiful bride, Zoe, who will be walking down the aisle wearing Eye of Horus. We both loved the smoothness of the eye kohl, as some eyeliners can tug the eyes during application. The intensity of the colours were amazing also. Shimmery shadows are a must for me during bridal season (edit ..read more

Let me preface this by saying that I'm one of those annoying people who has few skin conditions apart from the occasional dairy-related pimple and congestion related maybe to not washing my bronzer brush (I know, I know..). But read on to see why I HAD to write about this.. Sephora babies will know what I'm talking about when I say Murad's Eye Lift Firming Treatment is my Holy Grail for eyes. Dark circles, puffiness, lines and wrinkles - CATCH YA. I've been in the retail cosmetic industry for over a decade and working as a freelance MUA just as long, so in those years I've been spoiled with p ..read more

Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has been in the business of Girl Power for a while. The brand's Global Charity Initiative was launched in 2013 as the Pretty Powerful Campaign for Women & Girls to make education and learning accessible to women and girls on a global scale. Bobbi wrote a book of the same name in 2010 (Pretty Powerful) featuring before and after photos of 'real' women - that same year she was appointed to the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations (ACTPN). Safe to say, this is a brand and founder you want to get behind. Last week I was lucky to have been gifted with the l ..read more

A couple of weeks ago, the team from BodyBlendz sent me over some products. I received their entire Collagen Face range!! Their face masks, eye masks and lips masks. And just in time for my overseas trip.. Talk about timing. So of course I stashed them in my luggage and high-tailed it over to Bali for a wedding. Since I was 19, I have been the type of traveler to pop a hydrating mask on mid-flight and happily sit there soaking it all in, much to the confusion of my fellow travelers (what the hell does this chick have on her face lol). A girl gots-ta glow, what can I say? Needlessly to say, I ..read more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1kJ-pEuAXY Welcome back!! The video above shows how I created this warm, summery look with my new Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Palette. I got my palette via Aussie website CRYSTALMINX.com.au. I've always been somewhat turned off by ordering makeup from overseas (will it break, how long will it take, am I even going to get it....?) so when I found out about CrystalMinx and that they stocked all the makeup brands I love, I had to order ASAP!! I selected the Huda Beauty Desert Dusk Palette because honestly, the sparkles and the colour.... omg... I had to have it. The p ..read more

Beginning a YouTube channel has always been a daunting subject for me. Even making the decision to display my freelance makeup work was something I avoided for many years. I would say it took me about 5-6 years of being a Makeup artist to pluck up the courage to put my work out there. Not for a lack of talent, I knew I was good at what I did from very early on.. but I could not find the connection with what I viewed as work and Social Media, and knowing how to use it as a tool in marketing myself as an Artist. And to be honest, at that point in my life, I wasn't entirely sure I even wanted to ..read more
