Guess Wallet
I got this for myself around christmas time. I kinda of convinced myself that I needed a new wallet and I fell in love with this zip around one. I love the new Guess smell and the discrete placement of the diamontes too ;-)

Wearing my hair in a bun
It has been way too hot in January to be even be thinking about making my hair look nice and put together and style it out cause the heat doesn't cooperate. Instead all I've been doing is putting my hair in a bun, up and off my neck and shoulders so that my skin  is free to be cool and sweet-free.

Juxt & Humid eyeshadow
I've been loving these two eyeshadows in January. Juxt kinda looks like a yellow but goes on a green-ish yellow all over the lid, then place humid in the crease and blend in along the lash line at it looks so pretty.

Wearing little makeup
 Like with wearing my hair in a bun, it's been too hot and energy draining to wear a full face of makeup. Not only does the heat melt it off but it's all so heavy and could clog my pores so I try and wear as little as possible.

Aloe Vera
I defiantly don't wear makeup as I can't be bothered, is when Im sunburnt. In these instances I use aloe vera gel to help soothe and comfort my burnt skin.

Lipbalm
God lipbalm is a live saver for chapped lips especially during winter. This is the best lipbalm I have come across and it's Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment. Good for cuts, burns, dry skin, nappy rash and if there's any left over to tame flyaways in the hair.

Gladiator Sandals
I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair of gladiator sandals for a long time as a way to jazz up my feet for those occasions were things are too casual. These are by Molaoo and were $45, the name of the shoe is 'Loretta'. I love these, really comfy, nice soft suede material and they go with alot of things in my wardrobe.

Coralista & Sugarbomb by Benefit
 I've been loving using coralista (bottom swatch) as a blush mainly focusing on the apples of the cheeks, then applying sugarbomb (top swatch-gold shimmer) as a highlight along the cheekbones and  up around my eyes. Gosh I love the subtle shimmer it gives and the glow of my face like I've had the best sleep ever.

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
