TIPS 1. Choose natural hair lashes 2. If possible select a lash with an invisible backing 3. The glue that comes with the lashes is not the best :( Try Duo glue and when you apply it to the lash ensure you wait a little so the glue goes tacky 4. Feel free to use your fingers or tweezers to apply them 5. Complete your eye makeup and then pop the lashes on. If you need to add a little more liner to conceal anything.......go for it!!!
Ive decided to do at least (I'll try!!!) one product review a a week so every third video. Let me know if thats too much!
Products reviewed:
Shu Uemura Ultime8 Subline Beauty Cleansing Oil - Ive been using this for the last 3 weeks and love it. I was a little sceptical to begin with so I was thrilled when they gave me some samples to try. Instantly my skin felt soft and clean and the fact you can remove your eye makeup with it says a lot! The one I purchased has 8 exquisite oils from botanical origin for ultimate solution to 8 skin benefits powerful yet gentle botanical origin removal system for superb cleansing. Rest assured there are several oils for different skin types.
"shu uemura cleansing oil was developed from the knowledge that mr. uemura gained while working as a foremost hollywood makeup artist in the 1950s. the secret to shu uemura cleansing oil is protecting the skin's delicate balance while removing make-up and impurities in a single step."
Aesop Rosehip Seed Lip Cream - As mentioned in my review I was sick of reapplying lip balm all day long and was in the look out for a moisturising lip cream when I came across this. The lip cream soothes and softens which is ideal in any climate. Valued at $15 you dont need to keep applying and it certainly delivers!!
MAC On The Hunt - As part of the 'Styleseeker' release this duo eye palette is beautiful. I love the colours so much and can be blended effortless. I was able to locate the names of them individually which was great - the bronzy one is called Star Myth and the red bronze is Raving Mand.
Hope you guys enjoyed it and let me know if you have any feed back xo
Yay summer's just around the corner.......well for us Australians it is!
The look was a request and one that I loved doing. Summer makeup should be kept simple and really shouldn't take long to do. Tinted moisturiser is an ideal base for the summer season as it is light in texture, often build-able and allows you to bronze up nicely.
Also when considering your summer makeup it is essentil that you use a sunscreen!!

This Alexa Chung requested inspired tutorial is simple and very easy to achieve. When researching her look, Alexa's everyday makeup is pretty much identical, her thin long liner and half way liner/shadow on the bottom lash line is evident in almost all her photos. I love her style and look - "preppy meets grandma"! So cute x

This makeup is sooooo easy and took me less then 10 minutes to do. Its perfect for work and if you use the right products the only thing you'll need to touch up is your lipgloss/lipstick! I appreciate not everyone has every brush under the sun as some (hem,hem, me!) so Ive used minimal brushes for this look.

One of my most requested makeup looks from clients is a cat eye makeup. Not sure what this means?? Think Cleopatra, think Egyptian era, think Middle Eastern, cat eye inspired to elongate the eye and lift them up at the corners. This looks is often worn by the likes of Kim Kardashian, JLo, Rihanna and Beyonce as it is so flattering and really makes your eyes stand out. My preference is the leave the lips quite neutral and add a little pink to the cheeks or a nice bronzer depending on your skin tone. Hope you enjoy x

I've lived many many many years with the curse.........completely dead straight hair that is!
All my life I have done everything and anything to curl it and keep it curled. I have since discovered both a tool and some products that have finally enabled me to add some sort of texture to it!!
