My Top 5 M.A.C Lipsticks!

There's nothing better than a brand new MAC lipstick; the shiny black of the bullet, its perfect shape, the smell, and the snap of the lid after that first application. MAC's lipsticks are versatile and come in a range of finishes from satin to matte to lustre to frost. You're sure to be able to find the perfect colour for you! Here's a look at my top 5 shades from my own MAC lipstick collection…

Snob
This shade of pink is one of my favourite everyday colours from MAC. It's easy to wear with any outfit and perfectly compliments a statement eyeshadow look. I particularly like it for spring but it's great for all seasons!

Summer is one of the most fun times of the year! Whether you're lounging by the pool, tanning at the beach, lunching at a great new restaurant or sipping cocktails with friends, there's always something to  do and look forward to at the end of a busy work week. To keep you looking fabulous while doing all these things, I've come up with a collection of some of my favourite beauty products that are perfect for the summer months.

Hermes Les Colognes Eau de rhubarbe écarlate

I’ve loved this perfume since it came out, so its no surprise it's become my favourite scent! I was given a sample of it when I was at Sephora in Paris and I have been obsessed ever since. Maybe it's because I have such fond memories associated with it; walking through the streets of Paris, picnicking under the Eiffel Tower, celebrating Bastille Day on the Seine, shopping on the Champs-Élysées, but it’s a fragrance that I truly love and feel amazing when I wear it! 

The fragrance is crisp and fresh, heavily scented with rhubarb (hence the name) as well as white musks. It’s quite a strong scent, so you only need a small amount (1-2 sprays), but smells elegant and sophisticated. It finishes off an outfit perfectly, and gives you an added confidence when you wear it.

Australis Cosmetics Metallix Cream Eyeshadow

These cream eye shadows are one of my absolute favourite beauty products! Not only do they come in beautiful colours to suit any occasion or season, they are inexpensive and a fantastic product.

They are pigmented, transfer well onto the eye and look so glamourous. Paired with a neutral crease colour they look stunning on the eye, creating a distinctive and striking look.  When used over an existing eye shadow look such as a brown smoky eye, they add interest and really lift a look giving it a little something extra.

Featured: Guns and Rose Petals and Gold Gaga

I love Australis a brand because they are sustainable and do not test on animals, and the fact that they’re inexpensive is an added bonus! My favourite shades are “gold gaga” and “guns and rose petals” (all they’re names are inspired by musicians… so cute!). Both are beautiful light shades that are great for during the day as well as improving a nighttime eye look.

Preparing for summer – How to organize your wardrobe!

With Spring right on our doorsteps and new season clothes on the way into our wardrobes, I thought I would share my top three tips on keeping your wardrobe organised!

Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kits

I just got my hands on two of the Kylie Cosmetic Lip Kits! After hearing so many mixed reviews about these I thought I’d take the leap and give them a go!

Clinique 3-Step System

After hearing some good things about these products, I recently purchased a box of the 3-Step System from Clinique (I chose Dry Combination: Type 2, as I’m prone to dry areas on my face).
