30 Day Blog Challenge: Place I Want to Live

There’s nothing more beautiful than Sydney’s Harbour on a sunny day and I’m always envious of those who are fortunate enough to wake up to that view every morning. I would probably never have the opportunity to own or live in one of these apartments (I don’t see myself become a multi millionaire anytime soon) however, Sydney’s foreshore has always been a place where I want to live.



You would always have prime position for amazing NYE parties....

30 Day Blog Challenge: My Favourite Lipstick

I have only recently jumped on the lipstick bandwagon, I think its because I had never felt the need to experiment with my lip colour and I was happy with a sheer lip gloss or balm - oh how that has changed.

I purchased the Clinque Butter Shine Lipstick in Baby Baby based on colour alone (as I wanted a neutral nude) but it wasn’t until I first applied it that I fell in love.



Think a soft buttery lip gloss in lipstick form, which easily glides over lips and provides a glossy non sticky finish.

30 Day Blog Challenge: My Favourite Mascara

This has been one of my long time favourite mascaras and while there are others that come and go, Clinque’s High Impact Mascara is one that I always go back to.



Defines and lengthens lashes while separating without being clumpy or flaky, it’s build-able and I usually apply two coats for a volumizing effect.

Urban Decay Vegan Palette

Celebrating PETA’s 30th Anniversary and cruelty free beauty, Urban Decay released this gorgeous limited edition Vegan Palette.

This palette contains six of UD best selling eye shadows as well as a sample bottle of the famous Sin Primer Potion and a 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Zero.



Colours include: Minx, Urb, Gunmetal, Twice Baked, Smog and Half Baked.


In true Urban Decay fashion these eye shadows are beautifully pigmented and when teamed with the Primer Potion become even more vibrant. 



Do some of these colours look or sound familiar?? That’s because this palette contains Gunmetal, Smog and Half Baked from the much sought after Naked Palette.  

Purchased for $34.95 from Beauty Bay, I would recommend this palette for those (like me) who don’t own a Naked Palette however; if you have been lusting for one don’t give up as for an additional $10 or less you receive an additional six neutral shades.

As I have been recently experimenting with colours, I particularly love Minx as a liner for a pop of colour to my always neutral eyes.
