Hey lovelies,<br />
<br />
I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have been extremely busy of late! I know I mentioned that I was moving interstate in August and since then we decided to sell our house so we had everyone on deck finishing off our renovations in time to be able to put it on the market.<br />
<br />
Well all the hard work paid off as we sold it in just 5 days! It's all very exciting but also very sad to say goodbye to our first home! We love this place and have done so much to it it's hard to let go of it. However, in saying that we have already organised a place to rent over in Victoria and it looks like its going to be a great place to live, very close to the beach and long walking tracks for the dogs.<br />
<br />
We have been so busy renovating and getting the house ready for sale that the wedding planning has been completely on hold so I am looking forward getting back into it after the move as there is a lot still to be done!<br />
<br />
I just thought I would update you and let you know that I haven't given up on the blog but that I will probably not be posting regularly for a while until the move is all done. I can't wait to be free of all this stress and be sitting in our new lounge-room photographing products and typing up reviews for you all. I definitely do not recommend selling a house, moving interstate, starting a business and planning a wedding in the same year!! haha It's just been all too much lately!<br />
<br />
Thanks for sticking by me and I promise I will be back!<br />
<br />

A lot of people are comparing Australis All Over Face & Body Tint* to MAC's Face & Body Foundation and although they may look the same in my opinion that is where the similarities end.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkO0Reul0uvN88gsoQV4EMr8k_KV-zNnObC9fj4n2TD6wF0JadgndcQB9Y91r4fUgZKCReAoLffJOFtfSlIB9Tjr5FLd4INJ-mnOZTe2VmA-ySPAvz_kRUK2O-PTSPoF9ot0BuehJDpY/s1600/IMG_0215.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqkO0Reul0uvN88gsoQV4EMr8k_KV-zNnObC9fj4n2TD6wF0JadgndcQB9Y91r4fUgZKCReAoLffJOFtfSlIB9Tjr5FLd4INJ-mnOZTe2VmA-ySPAvz_kRUK2O-PTSPoF9ot0BuehJDpY/s320/IMG_0215.jpg" width="251" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Australis may have taken inspiration from the packaging of the MAC foundation but I don't think they were trying to replicate it. For starters they call it a tint not a foundation, which is exactly what it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPiyBGDz49nPpmZfHbbiqUoY8UV-pRjy6U3ZysCVVpLWhL4YpH7qy0DnSEgj5aHbN_AkiV2_Jofjwfozd9jAJgsv5m_vxZ7mZDoNweyDN6Obd-gCj5lpA2AeOFzylwKvoTGcz2wssQW8/s1600/IMG_0217.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPiyBGDz49nPpmZfHbbiqUoY8UV-pRjy6U3ZysCVVpLWhL4YpH7qy0DnSEgj5aHbN_AkiV2_Jofjwfozd9jAJgsv5m_vxZ7mZDoNweyDN6Obd-gCj5lpA2AeOFzylwKvoTGcz2wssQW8/s320/IMG_0217.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Australis says <i>"This all over Face & Body formula provides skin with a sheer lightweight tint to enhance skin tone. A blend of natural emollients including Jojoba, Pomegranate, Rosehip and Avocado oils help to moisturise, condition and evenly distribute pigments. The sheer natural looking coverage is easy to blend and ideal for your complexion all over."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXUVINVnWu0iqR2ZjIkY6yPkfOhskUZlKiiH9q4wXgjzGKTxNbuky6zfWGW8EpE8NcNzL7I37iRiaMKiEqftag8wBvNFElnvqsPD7Ct3yhbufZMZBSiCD3SEIFd7c9DhCbcUgLJBA4IU/s1600/IMG_0212.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglXUVINVnWu0iqR2ZjIkY6yPkfOhskUZlKiiH9q4wXgjzGKTxNbuky6zfWGW8EpE8NcNzL7I37iRiaMKiEqftag8wBvNFElnvqsPD7Ct3yhbufZMZBSiCD3SEIFd7c9DhCbcUgLJBA4IU/s320/IMG_0212.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the several times I have used this product I would say that the description they give matches it to a tee. It is very sheer and when applied you can barely tell you are wearing anything at all apart from the fact that it makes your skin feel moisturised. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are someone who doesn't like wearing a lot of makeup or has naturally great skin then you will probably love this product. For me I tend to like a bit more coverage than this so I have been using it underneath my foundation or bb cream as a base layer to add some extra moisture to my dry skin.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The picture on the left is me bare faced (eeeek) and the one on the right is with a layer of the tint applied. As you can see it doesn't offer much coverage but does even out your skin tone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I find the best way to apply this is with the fingers as they manage to blend it seamlessly into the skin. There is a slight scent to it, most likely from the oils it contains. I don't mind the smell although if you are sensitive to smells you might not enjoy it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It comes in three shades; light, medium and dark. As the formula is quite sheer & blends really well into the skin most people should be able to find a match within these three shades. If not though you can always mix the shades together to find your perfect match.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Australis All Over Face & Body Tint contains a huge 94mL and retails for $19.95AUD so it'll last you a far while which is great. It can be purchased from Priceline or anywhere that stocks Australis cosmetics.</div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Long time no speak....again! I know but there has been so much going on I just haven't had time to sit down and write (or type) out a post.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first update is that the wedding planning is coming along nicely. I have had a lot of help from Blake's parents who have been able to organise a lot of things that I can't not being in the same state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly we have decided to move to Geelong permanently. Originally we thought we'd be moving sometime next year but after thinking about it for a while we thought it might be easier & cheaper to move before the wedding. It's also a better time to look for rentals in the area we want to live as in Summer it gets pretty busy and finding a rental with two dogs I'm thinking will be pretty difficult.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So that's the big news of the moment. We are looking at moving in August (as my wedding dress arrives in store at the end of July). That gives us about three months to get our place up to scratch to be rented out and also get all of our belongings ready to be shipped interstate, a very complicated task!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway hopefully I will be able to find the time to do more posts but they may be pretty limited for the next few months sorry!!</div>

Hey guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just thought I would share a quick FOTD & EOTD for you :) Lately I have been testing out make-up looks to use for my wedding in October. I am going to be doing my own makeup as well as the makeup for my bridesmaids and mum :)<br />
<br />
This is a very subtle natural look that I thought might be a good way to go either for me or for the bridesmaids. Let me know what you think!</div>

Recently I got home from one of the most incredible places I have been to yet...JAPAN! Blake and I booked this holiday so long ago that we thought it was never going to come and it came and went in a flash :(<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">An intersection in Tokyo</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
The reason for the trip was to visit the snow in Niseko, where Blake's friend was renting a house, and of course go snowboarding. This was going to be the whole trip but I insisted that we could not go to Japan without visiting Tokyo!<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Freezing cold!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So we spent 3 days in Tokyo before heading to Niseko for 8 nights and finished up in Sapporo for the last night before heading home.<br />

Tokyo was incredible. Our favourite part was the people watching and in a city that big there is a lot of it! We also loved travelling on the trains and managed to only get lost once in doing so, which I was pretty impressed with. Three days might not seem enough time for such a big city but Blake and I found it was just right, by the end of it we were getting a bit sick of being surrounded by so many people.<br />

Niseko was absolutely mind blowing! The amount of snow in that place is just insane. The streets are lined with it and it didn't stop snowing the whole time we were there. Of course this made the snowboarding pretty amazing, although pretty hard for me as I was still learning. Eventually though I picked it up and can now proudly say that I can snowboard :) I even ventured into an off the path treed area, not on purpose, but I still did it without falling over or hitting a tree! haha<br />

A little while ago I was contacted by the lovely Chui who works for <a href="http://www.paulpenders.com.au/index.php">Paul Penders</a>. At the time I had not heard of the brand before so I was intrigued about the company and their products. Chui explained to me that the company was founded over 40 years ago in Holland and is run by Paul Penders who is an avid environmentalist and animal lover. You can read more about their story <a href="http://www.paulpenders.com.au/Paul+Pender%27s+Story_17_1.htm">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is for these reasons that the products are all derived from natural ingredients and are never tested on animals. He started creating shampoos and has since moved on from there now incorporating all kinds of beauty products into his environmentally friendly line.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was a bit of a newbie to natural hair care products so Chui kindly explained to me that there were a lot of benefits to using products with natural ingredients as opposed to the chemically packed shampoo & conditioner I was previously using. The most obvious being that your not putting unnatural chemicals into your hair, which although may make it feel nice in the short term, can be quite damaging in the long term, with increased hair loss and even bad reactions to the chemicals they contain.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those who haven't tried a natural shampoo before they will get a bit of a shock the first time using this. It is not a shampoo that really lathers and foams up, instead it only slightly foams when adding a touch of water. At first it can be quite hard to work into the hair but once you have used it a couple of times you get used to the feel and the best way to work it into the scalp and hair. I do find that it really gives my scalp and hair a good clean and my hair does feel very nice after I have finished washing it. I wouldn't say that my hair is any easier to manage after using this to another shampoo but I have never found a shampoo/conditioner where my hair isn't a tangled mess after washing (probably a result of the way I wash/dry my hair!). I have to say though that this smells incredible and makes your hair smell amazing! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all, this again smells incredible, is it just me or do natural products usually smell amazing? I really enjoy using this. In the past I have been known to use an unnecessary amount of conditioner...you know how your mother always tells you "use the amount of a 20c coin" well I was never one to follow that rule. My conditioner blob looked more like a couple of 50c coins! What I find with this conditioner is that I don't have to use half the bottle in order to make my hair feel super soft, even though it is quite a lightweight consistency for a conditioner. I cannot express how nice this makes my hair feel after I have rinsed it out as well as how shiny and healthy my hair looks. This is a definite favourite for me.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again this product smells incredible due to the numerous flower and herb extracts it contains. This is a light-weight hair mask which feels nice when applied and leaves the hair silky and smooth. It adds extra necessary moisture back into my hair as my hair can get very dry and brittle feeling if it's not washed or treated regularly. All in all its a great hair mask and one that I will continue to use. I probably wouldn't use the product daily as they recommend as I feel this would be too difficult time-wise and I wouldn't want my hair to get used to this much treatment so regularly but I find that once a week or once a fortnight is good to keep my hair from getting too dry and brittle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My biggest concern about trying a natural shampoo & conditioner was that I thought my hair would not feel as clean or as soft...but boy was I wrong. After using these products for a couple of times I was pleasantly surprised by how clean my hair was feeling and how shiny and silky it was to the touch.</div>

I received my Lust Have It! box in the mail today and since it's been a pretty quiet day on the work front decided to get back into blogging by showing you guys what I got this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know I haven't been blogging much lately and I know people hate excuses but I have some pretty good ones...starting a business, planning a wedding & an upcoming trip to Japan in a few days have all kept me pretty busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway enough about that onto the box!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxHsN1hmhSRRQyJWakjpk9IDz_jZhByIeWU4uhqvXNaH5GnxAba_QfOhrZtCEyoNABQTQlu-0NLE8FNk7MerqGsF4cgj09jOhxb7tt30asnltqMs3kgjNUfYqBsT1AXYn3jU85sZUnU0Y/s1600/IMG_9439.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxHsN1hmhSRRQyJWakjpk9IDz_jZhByIeWU4uhqvXNaH5GnxAba_QfOhrZtCEyoNABQTQlu-0NLE8FNk7MerqGsF4cgj09jOhxb7tt30asnltqMs3kgjNUfYqBsT1AXYn3jU85sZUnU0Y/s400/IMG_9439.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lust Have It! informed us that this month the items would not fit in the pretty new packaging so they would be sending the boxes out in just the normal packing box. This didn't bother me as it meant we were getting some decent sized items! They also said that they couldn't send one of the products as the box would exceed their weight limit, again not a big deal as they said they would just post it with the next month's box.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I opened the box my first reaction was that it was an ok box. Nothing got me super excited but it wasn't a bad box by any means.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are the products that I received;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja8MiAGwrSMhILzUjfPG-hzU_-RuiPfAAuT9Bazf6Is4yPl4DWv9SYA6Lh7qTBswHJx9FH326iE3tAR2WoLtIu3b9TLLbAAZDvs4dzDTCyY83qcYVcfabtUQLqqEcRe_9YgylOom5p7VA/s1600/IMG_9457.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja8MiAGwrSMhILzUjfPG-hzU_-RuiPfAAuT9Bazf6Is4yPl4DWv9SYA6Lh7qTBswHJx9FH326iE3tAR2WoLtIu3b9TLLbAAZDvs4dzDTCyY83qcYVcfabtUQLqqEcRe_9YgylOom5p7VA/s320/IMG_9457.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1. Summer Tan by Mancine Self Action Tan - Dark (Full size - 250mL for $29.95)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the past year or so I have been getting into trying out different self tanners, St Tropez Mousse being my favourite, so I am keen to give this one a go. I was initially a bit hesitant as it says dark and I am pretty pale, however, when checking out LHI's facebook page there were lots of pale girls saying it still worked for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2. Lon Vitalite C9 Crystal Moisturising Hand Mask (1 pair - $4.50 each)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've tried a face mask from this company before and my skin had a bad reaction to it, so I'm glad this is a hand mask and not a face mask. I will give this a go, despite my previous reaction, as the skin on my hands is not as sensitive and being a "tradie" now my hands are looking pretty shameful!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Styli-Style L3 Timeless Lipstick - Heavenly (Full size - $19.95)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love lipstick, especially nudes/light pinks so this is right up my alley. When I swatched this it instantly reminded me of Nars Orgasm blush. It has that peachy pink colour with golden shimmer much like the blush. The formula of this lipstick really impressed me. It's super mositurising, feeling like a balm rather than a lipstick. The colour isn't very pigmented when applied but it is a rather sheer formula. I would be really interested in trying the darker shades from this brand as I do love the creaminess. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQFM4yy2YLTl8xHOCQ0fcbyww4bfG8pyytTeGiBf7gLaQl0cO-pZu1zVkF8sVtSWrSN8UW6D_McnyIb4J1he77Pe794smlV27ay9YM6UZJ_SGrD0SZ8xqt3eUMInuOmDCyQkGE2-tD7U/s1600/IMG_9449.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQFM4yy2YLTl8xHOCQ0fcbyww4bfG8pyytTeGiBf7gLaQl0cO-pZu1zVkF8sVtSWrSN8UW6D_McnyIb4J1he77Pe794smlV27ay9YM6UZJ_SGrD0SZ8xqt3eUMInuOmDCyQkGE2-tD7U/s320/IMG_9449.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4. The Natural Source Camouflage Colour Nail Lacquers - Emerald (Full size - 12mL $9.99)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the disappointment of the bunch, not only is it a colour I probably won't wear but the formulation of the polish just isn't very good. I did a quick swatch on my nail and it was so sheer that you would probably need at least three coats to get it opaque and that's just no good for someone impatient like me!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last item which will come out in next months box is Keratase Paris Nectar Thermique (150mL for $39.50), which is a leave-in hair treatment. I love hair treatments, as I suffer from pretty dry brittle hair, so I am very interested to try it when it comes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Value of the box = $29.95 + $4.50 + $19.95 + $9.99 = $34.44 <span style="font-size: x-small;">*I haven't included the missing item as I don't know if it will be a sample size or full size.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So although this box didn't wow me there was still some decent full-sized products in it. What did you think of this month's box?</div>

While out shopping over the weekend I noticed that Priceline is having some pretty good deals at the moment so I picked up a couple of things.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the deals I was most excited about is that the Model's Prefer skincare line is currently 50% off until the 11th of Feb. Wanting to take advantage of this great deal I went ahead and picked up a back up of my favourite bb cream of the moment from them (see why I love it <a href="http://aussiebeautyreviews.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/review-models-prefer-bb-cream.html">here</a>). I also used this deal to try out one of the products I have had my eye on for a while which is the Deep Repair Anti-Age Serum. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1P7TNLIbZkFJ8jlSb77vIThmGqDam0eIRVzJUJVNfADT8KjuzXdHIucJu2cXevTdKbl1BzELLgDkTExgvzJAXJatuE50fGl-H-EQYQq-aomoJU5eQ3xh6bwWlf-MU3THfjOV48ZU_v_w/s1600/IMG_9407.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1P7TNLIbZkFJ8jlSb77vIThmGqDam0eIRVzJUJVNfADT8KjuzXdHIucJu2cXevTdKbl1BzELLgDkTExgvzJAXJatuE50fGl-H-EQYQq-aomoJU5eQ3xh6bwWlf-MU3THfjOV48ZU_v_w/s400/IMG_9407.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This product resembles the YSL Forever Youth Liberator Serum, which I received a sample of in one of my monthly subscription boxes a while ago and subsequently fell in love with it. All would have been well except for it's enormous price tag! So I thought I would pick up the MP version while on special and see if it was comparable. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been using it for the past few days and so far I haven't noticed anything substantially different with my skin (which luckily has been pretty good lately - despite my sweaty new job as Blake's apprentice!) although it does feel lovely to apply. Not quite as lovely as the YSL but it will do for now. Perhaps closer to the wedding I will invest in the YSL as a special treat but for the moment it's just too pricey.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last item I bought was the new Covergirl Mascara named Clump Crusher. It's another version of the orange tubed LashBlast formula, which is one of my holy grail mascaras, so I am pretty eager to test this baby out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The brush is the same rubber bristled kind as with the original but this version has a curve to it. I'm not expecting it to be drastically different from the original version but for $10 (it's on sale until Feb 11th then goes up to $17.95) I thought I'd test it out.</div>

It's the end of January already can you believe it?? I received my Lust Have It! box yesterday and was surprised by its smaller than average box. When I opened it up the reason became apparent, the packaging has changed back to the old Glossybox style sturdy reusable cardboard boxes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>1. Nude by Nature BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream (Full size 50mL - $19.95)</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As you probably know by now I'm a big fan of BB creams, so much so I now use them on a daily basis over foundation. This is one that I haven't tried before so I am very excited to test it out. It says that it "hydrates, corrects, perfects, protects and gives your skin natural radiance". The one thing that stands out about this is that it has quite a strong fruity scent almost lemon like which I haven't come across before.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Another thing I haven't tried yet, in fact I have never before tried a loose powder bronzer so once again I'm pretty excited to test this out. It feels amazingly silky and finely milled and has a really nice sheen to it, however, I think it's a little bit too light to be used as a bronzer but it would be really nice dusted over the collarbones and chest.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It seems like this is going to be an ongoing thing with lust have it putting their own branded items in the boxes, which I don't have a problem with as long as they are useful and good quality. This kabuki brush is super soft, however it absolutely stinks! and I have already noticed a few bristles have shed so it probably will end up at the back of one of my drawers unfortunately.</div>

It is the LORAC Pro Palette.<br />

<br />
When this palette was released it caused a great stir among beauty lovers for the simple fact that it is a neutral eyeshadow palette containing half matte and half shimmer eyeshadows.<br />
<br />
The reason this was such a big deal is because this is not often done when releasing eyeshadow palettes...the reason? Because shimmery colours are a lot prettier than matte ones and therefore a lot more tempting for buyers!<br />
<br />

However, as most beauty lovers know, matte eyeshadows are essential for giving your eyeshadow look dimension and can be very flattering on the eyes, especially on older eyes.<br />
<br />
In my opinion this palette has the perfect array of colours for a neutral eyeshadow palette. You've got your base colours, highlight colours, all over lid colours, crease colours, defining colours, a couple of fun colours thrown in, colours for the perfect smokey eye and of course the always needed matte black shadow. Altogether there are 16 shades with each shade containing 0.55 grams. It also comes with a mini Behind the Scenes Eye Primer, which I don't find to be anything special, just your average eye primer.<br />

<br />
The texture of these shadows are buttery smooth and feel amazing to swatch. Due to their softness they can result in fall out, if you are not careful when placing the colour onto your eye. I would recommend tapping off any excess that's on your brush before you apply which should combat any fall out.<br />
<br />
So exactly what colours do you get? Here's a rundown;<br />

<br />
White - pure white matte shade, perfect for an inner corner highlight, a base or brow bone highlight.<br />
Nude - a shimmery pale pink colour, perfect for brightening the eyes.<br />
Cream - matte cream shade, this shade can be a bit patchy but good to use as an all over base colour.<br />
Champagne - a very pretty shimmery champagne colour with tiny white sparkles - lovely as a highlight or lid colour.<br />
Taupe - a mid toned matte brown, not really a taupe but the perfect blending colour.<br />
Gold - a very bright rich gold colour that leans towards an orange toned gold, this is an amazing lid colour.<br />
Lt Pink - a matte light true baby pink, this is great for brightening the inner corner.<br />
Lt Bronze - a gorgeous light bronze, looks very pretty swept over the lid.<br />

<br />
Mauve - a matte purple toned brown, this is one of my favourite colours as it's perfect for adding dimension and blending out the crease.<br />
Pewter - your typical taupe colour (think MAC's satin taupe).<br />
Sable - a rich warm toned matte chocolate brown.<br />
Garnet - a gorgeous rusty colour, my favourite of them all! (This would be amazing on blue eyes!)<br />
Espresso - a dark chocolate brown colour, perfect for the outer corner and to use under the eyes.<br />
Deep Purple - a super dark vibrant purple colour with tiny, almost unnoticeable, specs of red glitters.<br />
Black - a great matte black that everyone needs to deepen a look or to use as liner.<br />
Slate - that perfect blueish grey colour to create a dark smokey eye.<br />

The only downside to this palette for me is that some of the shades are a bit too soft and can create fall out, as you can see from this picture after I had swatched the shades. The packaging can also get pretty dirty, however, this isn't a big turnoff for me as most makeup does this.<br />

I highly recommend investing in this palette if you are new to eyeshadow or if you are simply a neutral eyeshadow lover. The combination of so many matte and shimmer colours in a range of neutral shades makes it the perfect palette, not to mention the ease at which the shadows apply to the eye along with their great blend-ability and pigmentation. The slim line packaging and large mirror also make it a great travel companion.<br />

If you are a fan of the Urban Decay Naked palettes you will definitely love this palette too. I have both and can honestly say that I love them all equally.<br />
<br />
The LORAC Pro Palette can be purchased from Sephora for $42USD, for those of us in Australia I bought mine from a highly reputable Ebay seller that can be found <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LORAC-Pro-Palette-16-Eyeshadows-Matte-Shimmer-Eye-Primer-BNIB-/271135799495?pt=US_Makeup_Eyes&hash=item3f20f3f8c7">here</a> for about $70AUD (all up).<br />

I've never been a huge fan of red nail polish...shocking I know as it's probably one of the more popular colours to sport on your nails. I'm not sure why it just never appealed to me until lately when I started to crave red, possibly due to it just being the festive season.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway I gave in to this new found temptation and purchased a dark red polish as well as a red glitter polish and decided I'd give it a whirl.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

The polish I went for is the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Colour (phew thats a mouthful!) in 90 Brick Wall which is a deep blood red colour. These are my favourite polishes in terms of application and staying power. They have a wide flat brush which makes application so simple, even for those of us that aren't the best at applying polish. They also last a long time on the nails without chipping, the longest of any brand I have tried.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The glitter I added to my ring finger is an Ulta3 Nail Colour in Disco Fever. This glitter has all different sizes of red glitters and applies evenly on the nails. There is nothing I hate more than a glitter polish that deposits barely any glitter to your nail! grr Ulta3 is another brand of polish I love, they apply well and best of all are super cheap and come in a tonne of colours! (I got this one for $2AUD)</div>

Hello! Long time no post I know.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it was for a good reason I promise...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BLAKE AND I GOT ENGAGED!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yay :) Yup we are getting married and I couldn't be happier. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It all started with me coming home from work on the 12th (the day before my birthday) to a house full of balloons and a sign on the wall telling me to pack my bags. As you can imagine I was pretty stoked, Blake had arranged with my work for me to have some time off and he booked us flights to his home town Geelong, Victoria. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So that night was spent packing and the next morning we were on a plane to Geelong :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The proposal happened on Saturday afternoon (15th Dec). He told me we were heading to his brother's place which is on the coast, however, we were going a different route then normal *my first hint something was going on* Blake then announced that we'd just quickly pop down to Bell's Beach to take a look at the surf.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjanZ5ViJXpOdh5VikBwIMOQqq68vB7LWmCDcHiVhbcZURHOC26q1SPAZwP6lwG5a3GCbis0lSeEzzPSR_oOzvLYAcIt3AuPvAo6uBGQGLW8EbUBmX4mpZ86ffWC0EOB0_SZymyd9b4rdI/s1600/photo-3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjanZ5ViJXpOdh5VikBwIMOQqq68vB7LWmCDcHiVhbcZURHOC26q1SPAZwP6lwG5a3GCbis0lSeEzzPSR_oOzvLYAcIt3AuPvAo6uBGQGLW8EbUBmX4mpZ86ffWC0EOB0_SZymyd9b4rdI/s640/photo-3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was at the look out at Bell's Beach where he popped the question. I wasn't all that shocked as I had been expecting him to ask me for a while now but I still cried when he asked!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The biggest shock was how gorgeous the ring he chose was and that he had chosen it all by himself! No-one else knew what was going on. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next day we got to celebrate with Blake's family and friends and even had my mum, step-dad, sister and nephew surprise us by flying overnight to be with us to celebrate on Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was very much a whirl-wind trip and things have just been so busy since with Christmas yesterday and starting to plan the wedding! Blake originally told me I had 2 months but I have managed to sort some sense into him and give us until October next year haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So yeah that is where I have been! I will be sure to start more regular posting again soon. </div>

At home face masks are one of my little luxuries in life. I love whacking a mask on when I am feeling stressed and it instantly relaxes me. Mud masks are probably my favourite kind of mask so when I was offered the chance to test out a few from Terra 2Skin I jumped at the opportunity. </div>

Mask in a Cup is made from active clays<i> "which are extracted under strict conditions and naturally sun-dried to ensure that their active mineral contents and rich trace elements are retained, silica, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorous and zinc to name a few".</i></div>

I was very interested in the how the clay was beneficial for the skin. Terra 2Skin explains that the clay is <i>"naturally absorbent, detoxifying and draws toxins, excess oil and impurities from the skin." </i>They also explain that <i>"the rich minerals and trace elements naturally contained within the clay are also a drink for your skin, replenishing the necessary nutrients that our busy lifestyle, lack of sleep or pollution may have depleted".</i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The mask was super easy to use. All you need to do is lift off the lid, add 30mL of water and stir using the spatula provided. The instructions explain to only use the wooden spatula provided as metal can affect the clays elements. Using this spatula you then apply the mask to your face. It is very easy to control as it has a paste like consistency that slides onto your skin.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There is quite a lot of product in the container, even after layering it on I still had plenty for another use. You could definitely get three uses out of the one container. It says you can store it for 2-3 days under cling-wrap, otherwise you could simply split up the powder into three uses before adding the water.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
When applied to the skin it has a cooling feeling and as it dries it tightens on the skin. The drying time depends on the thickness of application. With a thin layer it took about ten-fifteen minutes to dry. The instructions tell you to remove the mask with warm water, but if you are anything like me I love pulling off the big chunks of clay first before I remove the remainder with water. (Yeah I'm a sicko like that...you know the kind of people that use the pore strips and examine what comes out - that's me! haha)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The mask left my skin feeling clean and looking brighter. I definitely recommend these masks, they made my skin feel really clean and soft and it was super easy to use. The benefits of the clay on your skin are also very impressive.</div>

Mask in a Cup retails for $8.99AUD each and can be purchased <a href="http://www.maskinacup.com.au/buynow.html">here</a>. I definitely recommend trying these out especially if you like mud masks. They are great value as you can get at least 3 uses from each cup. There are a few different kinds to choose from; including ones for dry skin, oily skin, aged skin, tired skin and sensitive skin.</div>

Ok so lets get on with it. This months came in another little make up bag, however, the accompanying card revealed that this will be the last bag and from now on they will be in "collectible packaging". I am hoping this means a return to the old Glossybox style packaging of the cute boxes as I found them to be really handy to store things.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is what was inside;<br />

<div>
<b>1. ModelCo Fibre Lashxtend Mascara (Full size - $28.00)</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was excited to see a full sized makeup item in the bag this month. Fibre mascaras are really great at lengthening your lashes as they have tiny fibres in them which adhere to your lash hair making them longer. I have tried a few in the past and got great results so I am keen to see if this is any good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. Davroe Hair Wellness Argan Oil (Full size - $23.95)</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Blake dropped my bottle of Moroccan Oil a while back and I haven't yet re-purchased it so I was happy to see this in my bag. Will give it a go and see if I like it more than the Moroccan Oil. I like the Davroe brand, they are an Australian made brand using pure plant extracts and are vegan friendly.<br />

<div>
<b>3. Face of Australia Purifying Cleansing Wipes (Full size - $4.95)</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I go through makeup wipes so fast so I was glad to see a pack of these in the bag. I have never tried FOA's version as I usually just buy the el cheapo $2 ones from the supermarket haha</div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<b>4. Star & Rose Hologram Tweezers (Full Size - $9.95)</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am forever losing tweezers so these were a welcome addition. The holographic print is really cute and the tips seem very precise. They remind me a lot of my Tweezerman tweezers which I lost....see what did I tell you! haha<br />

<div>
<b>5. Lomasi Body Creme in Cucumber & Aloe (30mL sample - $22.95 for 236mL)</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This body cream smells just like cucumber and aloe and has a lovely texture to it, its quite thin but still moisturising. I've never heard of the brand before and can't find much about them online but I wasn't impressed to read that the cream contains palm oil.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Total value: $28.00 + $23.95 + $4.95 + $9.95 + $2.91 = $69.76</b><br />

While shopping around at Priceline the other day I noticed Model's Prefer have released their own skincare line. One item that really intrigued me is their BB cream. I know what you're thinking....not another westernised tinted moisturiser claiming to be a BB cream in a hope to capitalise on the craze! </div>

Here is what they say <i>"MP BB cream effectively minimises pores and smooths the skins surface whilst concealing imperfections. BB cream leaves the skin perfectly soft, moisturised and with a flawless glow."</i> The whole skincare line including the BB cream contain the "MP aquaflex system" which is supposed to do all this great stuff but really I think its just a fancy term for locking in moisture. It is dermologically tested, free of parabens and fragrance free, so is perfect for those with sensitive skin.</div>

In terms of consistency it's thicker than the western BB creams (i.e. Garnier), however, its slightly thinner than traditional asian style BB creams (i.e. Missha). I use my fingers to apply as I find they are best at really melting the product into the skin. It's one of those products that as you apply it your skin looks instantly smoother and evened out. It gives a medium coverage and so can be used in place of foundation, which is how I have been using it. I find that it is quite long-lasting as well. I have been wearing it to work most days and I find it still looks great by the end of the work day.</div>

As you can see this BB cream gives you a really nice glow but it isn't overly dewy (like the Garnier one) so even oily-skinned girls could get away with using this by just adding a powder. It is also pretty good at covering any minor imperfections as you can see in my before & after photos below. </div>

The one downside is I don't think it contains any SPF. The reason I say I don't think it does is although it sorta smells like my other korean style bb creams (you know the slightly sunscreen-y smell) which do contain SPF it doesn't say anywhere on the packaging that it does. </div>

The Model's Prefer BB Cream comes in two colours Light & Medium. I have the Light and it is a pretty good match for my skin, which is quite pale. It retails for $12.99 which I think is such a great price for what you are getting. This has fast become my favourite BB cream as it gives good coverage but is still quite natural-looking.</div>

<br />
<b>How many hours a week do you spend planning/writing/uploading posts? </b><br />
<br />
I don't really keep track of the time as it's a bit all over the place. I usually spend a couple of hours taking the photos and then cropping and picking out the best ones to use. Writing a post will usually take me about an hour to do. I don't like to force myself to blog though so I do it when I feel like it.<br />
<br />
<b>Are you a spender or a saver?</b><br />
<br />
A bit of both. If I have something I am saving for, e.g a holiday booked then I find it a lot easier to put money away. If I don't have anything planned I tend to be more of a spender.<br />
<br />
<b>When is it easiest for you to write your posts?</b><br />
<br />
I usually keep it for the weekends as I find during the week I just can't be bothered concentrating on anything when I get home from work!<br />
<br />
<b>What makes writing posts comfortable for you?</b><br />
<br />
Doing it when I have the urge to do it, I cannot write if I feel forced too. I use a laptop currently but I would love a desk to sit at dedicated to blogging.<br />
<br />
<b>What's your worst make up/hair habit?</b><br />
<br />
Washing my hair every day...I know its bad for your hair but I just can't stand my hair feeling the slightest bit dirty.<br />
<br />
<b>What's one quote you wish the world would live by?</b><br />
<br />
"Be the change you wish to see in the world" An oldie but a goodie!<br />
<br />
<b>How long do you spend getting ready everyday?</b><br />
<br />
Including a shower it's about 30 mins.<br />
<br />
<b>What's your favourite post on your blog?</b><br />
<br />
I love my posts about doing other peoples makeup. I did my sisters<a href="http://aussiebeautyreviews.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/doing-my-sis-makeup.html"> here </a>and Lea's makeup for her wedding <a href="http://aussiebeautyreviews.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/what-i-did-on-holiday-plus-bridal.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Who is a beauty blogger that you think deserves more subscribers than they have?</b><br />
<br />
There's too many to name! I wish I had more time in a day to read all the blogs I am subscribed too, there are so many amazing bloggers out there.<br />
<br />
<b>What's one thing you're excited about in the coming year?</b><br />
<br />
Going to Japan with Blake in March. It'll be the first time for both of us and we are super excited! Also becoming an aunty again in February!!<br />
<br />
<b>What's been your favourite blogging moment?</b><br />
<br />
Probably getting my first follower :) I was just happy someone wanted to read what I was writing!<br />
<br />
<b>How long does it take to prep for a post?</b><br />
<br />
I don't do a whole lot of prep work - unless you include the countless hours I spend in Priceline looking at products! haha<br />
<br />
<b>Are you wearing jeans/skirt right now or are you wearing pajama bottoms?</b><br />
<br />
PJ bottoms! haha although it is 8pm!<br />
<br />
<b>What are you most proud of in your life?</b><br />
<br />
Meeting Blake, buying our house and starting the business. I couldn't have done any of it without Blake and I'm so thankful that he came into my life right when I needed him!<br />
<br />
I tag anyone that wants to do this :)<br />
<br />

October<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another month another box and different packaging once again! October's Lust Have It! box came in a little pink netted bag, probably because the contents were too big to fit into one of their regular makeup bags.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My box only arrived last week and because of this I got to see other bloggers reactions to the box and they weren't all that positive. They've recently changed the system so now instead of everyone receiving pretty much the same box there are 3 different possible boxes that you can receive. Of the reviews I have seen I got the "Fun & Flirty" box which looked to be the best of the three so I was pretty happy with that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's what was inside!</div>

I actually received a couple of these from Terra 2Skin, which I have yet to use, but they look really cool. It's basically natural clay which you mix with water to become a mud mask. I will be sure to review for you once I have used them.</div>

I love baths, like really love but sadly we don't have one at our place :( It's one of the only downfalls of our little house.

It has a slight floral scent to it but its not overpowering.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Even though I've never actually bought an Avene product, I've got so many samples from them I know that I love most of their products. I was super happy to see not one but three samples from them in this months box. There is a gel cleanser, cream exfoliant and an anti-shine moisturiser. I can't wait to try these out, they smell amazing! and the cream exfoliant sounds really interesting.</div>

I'm not much of a waxer not because I am scared of the pain just because I find shaving easier. I'll be interested to test these out, although as there is only two I don't know what I would wax! haha</div>

I was excited to see a NYX item included although would have preferred a makeup item, or at least a cool colour polish instead of the clear. I guess it will be good for my new office job though as I can't really wear anything too crazy on my nails.</div>

As I mentioned in my last post my boyfriend Blake has just come home from working fly in fly out up north. The reason behind this was to spend more time with me of course! haha But also so we could start up our own air conditioning and plumbing business, The Cool Plumber.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am so so proud of him for taking this huge risk and although he's only been in business for two weeks he's already pretty busy!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So if any of you Perthians in the northern suburbs need an air conditioner or anything plumbing related please give him a call, he would love it 0421 502 370. Feel free to check him out on Facebook "The Cool Plumber" or shoot him an e-mail at thecoolplumber@mail.com :)</div>

This is quite a heavy scent but I still find it appropriate for during the day. To me this has quite a vanilla smell even though there is no vanilla notes. This is the scent which lasts the longest thorough out the day on me. It's also one of Blake's favourites.</div>

This is probably the strongest and sweetest perfume I own. I got a sample in a subscription box one month and fell in love with it. Kindly my mum & step-dad got this for me duty free on one of their travels. You can definitely smell the tartness of the passionfruit and the raspberries and mixed with the musk it smells divine.I usually only wear this at night time as I find it a bit too strong for the day. I think this is a scent people would either love or hate, personally I love it but some might find it too sweet.</div>

This was a recent purchase for me. I had a voucher from Priceline and thought I'd use it to buy a new perfume. A while ago I bought Blake the men's version of this, which we love so I thought I'd give this one a sniff and I really liked the scent. It's a mixture of musk and florals but is still quite light so its perfect for daytime. </div>

This has to be my favourite scent of them all and the one I receive the most compliments for when I wear it. The only way I can think to describe this is pure sex appeal. For that reason it is my go to perfume for a night out or a date night. You must go smell this if haven't already. I just bought another bottle of this as I was down to my last drop.</div>

This is quite a light floral smelling fragrance and one I often wear to work as I find it quite fresh and not in your face. There is nothing worse than working with someone with an overbearing fragrance and I don't fancy being that person haha. It smells exactly like the notes would predict, there is a strong rose aspect to it but the grapefruit cuts through the smell nicely to modernise the scent. </div>

My lovely step-dad Kim bought this for me on his way home from an overseas work trip. It was a such a nice surprise as I love all of these scents! As much as I love these types of sampler sets I hate that they don't have a spray top. I had seen reviews of atomiser spray bottles on YouTube so decided to invest in some, although I wouldn't really call it investing as they were super cheap! I plan on decanting these into them so I can take them on the go with me. </div>

I've never had a full size primer potion before so was pretty happy with this as I am almost out of all my mini sizes. Benefit's They're Real mascara has been so hyped I just had to give it a try. The last thing is this moisturiser that mum had been raving about. It's a french moisturiser from La Roche-Posay called Hydreane Legere. It's quite thin and gel-like in texture which I love but it is still quite hydrating. It also smells amazing, possibly the best smelling moisturiser I've used.</div>

Bare Study is a gorgeous beige/champagne colour with a lot of sheen to it. It doesn't apply as pigmented as I would like but its still great as a base or a simple wash of colour when I am not wearing eyeshadow.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Soft & Gentle is my first MSF from MAC and I really like it. Its a gorgeous champagne colour with quite a bit of shimmer. I think I'll have to be careful with this one as it might make me look like a bit of a disco ball if I apply too much.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Groundwork had been on my wish list for ages now, ever since seeing Lisa Eldridge and the Pixiwoo girls using it in a few tutorials on YouTube. Its a matte mid toned brown cream shadow which works great as a base or simply on its own as an all over colour. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Teddy eye kohl was another that's been on the list for a while. I don't own a whole lot of brown eye liners so I was in need of a good one and this one has a hint of gold sparkle in it which makes it a bit more interesting than the average brown liner.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I also picked up Revlon's ColorStay Aqua Mineral Makeup while at a local chemist the other day as it was on sale for $10 and I thought it might be a good alternative to my MAC MSF natural. I've used it a couple of times to set my makeup and so far it has been good. One interesting thing about it is that it has a cooling effect when you apply it to the skin, making it great for hot days!</span></div>

Well the boxes didn't last long! We are back to the little make up bags. I don't know how I feel about that although I do really love the colour of this months bag. Not sure why they would go back to the little bags, possibly some backlash from customers who weren't happy with last months disposable box. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1. Davroe Ultimatum Non Aerosol Hairspray 50mL sample ($19.95 for 200mL) </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is an Australian made non aerosol hairspray which contains pure plant extracts and says it has a hold factor of 10. I've never used a non aerosol hairspray before and don't have the highest expectations for this product on my hair as it doesn't hold well with any hair products because its so damn thin. I'll give it a go though, it smells alright for a hair spray and would be good for travellers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2. Say It With Scent Vanilla Hand & Body Lotion 30mL sample ($26.80 for 200mL)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another lotion! haha there seems to be at least one in every bag. Luckily (or unlucky really) I have very dry skin so I get a lot of use out of them. This one is nice as it is on the thinner side and absorbs quickly which makes it great for a hand cream. It's also Australian made which is a plus!</div>

<b>3. Dermalogica PreCleanse 15mL sample ($65.50 for 150mL)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was so excited when I saw the two Dermalogica products as it is my favourite skin care brand. This is a plant based cleansing oil which removes excess sebum (oil), waterproof makeup and sunscreen from your skin leaving it ready for your cleanser to do its job properly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4. Dermalogica Active Toner 30mL sample ($51.00 for 250mL)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have used this toner before and really love it. It's really refreshing and doesn't leave your skin feeling tight like a lot of other toners do. It adds an extra layer of moisture (great for those of us with dry skin) and has skin-repairing Aloe as well as lavender and arnica to soothe the skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. Mirenesse "Protect Me" Tinted Daily Face & Neck Mineral Balm - sample ($69.00 for 18g)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a pretty tiny sample of what I think is a tinted moisturiser. The card says that its an anti-aging balm infused with high performance mineral sunscreens, although it only has an SPF of 15 so not sure how effective it would be for a sun protection on its own. When swatched it doesn't seem to have much a tint to it at all but it does make your skin feel super smooth (possibly good to use as a primer).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It also came with a card to receive a free 45 minute Dermalogica facial treatment valued at $90.00. The only catch is you have to spend over $50 or more on products, which is very doable for me as I love their products, but if you didn't then it would be worthless.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Value = $4.99 + $4.02 + $6.55 + $6.12 + $1.91* = $23.59 (not including the voucher)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*I wasn't sure how much the Mirenesse sample was, Blake said about half a gram so I went with that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall I think this was a good month, mainly for the two Dermalogica samples. I'm very interested to see how the non aerosol hair spray works and I'm always grateful for new makeup samples. However, looking at the value it doesn't really hold up against the past months.</div>

Last night Blake and I met a couple of friends for a few drinks at a new bar at Perth Casino, The Merrywell. The bar is super super nice. It's full of timber panels and cool light fixtures and the food is INCREDIBLE although a little pricey.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought I'd share with you what eye look I went for. This has fast become my go to eye look for nights out as it is a little softer than a black smokey eye and its really easy to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiswsMvmLH40K4bCTQym62mfdXY9zAmQ4vb8Yl2wf3DDRFNYpie8o4QIdQ6k7lLdeEZ7sc7zLXwGHVMVpUMM7xYXJgI6WTeNtPRFFMByhMhwH8TSrJbHAof27G19mDAET1bVLwC-akXHgM/s1600/IMG_8105.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiswsMvmLH40K4bCTQym62mfdXY9zAmQ4vb8Yl2wf3DDRFNYpie8o4QIdQ6k7lLdeEZ7sc7zLXwGHVMVpUMM7xYXJgI6WTeNtPRFFMByhMhwH8TSrJbHAof27G19mDAET1bVLwC-akXHgM/s400/IMG_8105.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">To get this eye look I applied Nars eyeshadow base all over the eye as a primer. I then used a synthetic concealer brush and applied Essence's cream eyeshadow in Glammy Goes To.. all over the lid focusing it in the inner corner. Next using a MAC 217 I applied the dark colour in Nars Cordura to the outer corner of the eye blending it into the crease. To blend that out I used the lighter brown and focussed it in the crease and a little bit onto the lid. I then took both the colours under the eye. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Liquid liner was next. I used Face of Australia's HD Liquid eyeliner pen to apply a thin line on the upper lash line and slightly flicked it out in the corners. Teddy eye kohl was applied the the lower lash line and waterline. Last step was to curl my lashes and add a few coats of L'Oreal Voluminous mascara.</div>

Blake had been bugging me for months trying to get me to agree to go on a snowboarding trip with his friends to New Zealand. I was hesitant at first as I have never snowboarded before but finally agreed once I had quit my job as I figured why not take a holiday before I start the unpleasant task of trying to find a new job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been to NZ before a couple of times but it was Blake's first time so I decided we needed a few days, before we met up with everyone, to explore the South Island.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our trip started out in Christchurch where we picked up a pretty awesome camper van, it was fully equipped with a shower and toilet as well as cooking facilities and a double bed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The plan was to drive across the South Island through Arthur's Pass to the West Coast and then head down and meet Blake's friends in Queenstown where we would stay in a house for the weekend. We would then head to Wanaka for three nights before getting back in the camper and driving up the east coast to Christchurch for our return flight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some photos of our trip!</div>

The highlights of the trip were definitely driving around the countryside and all the fantastic views. Arthur's Pass was stunning to drive through and Fox Glacier was incredible. Learning to snowboard was pretty cool although quite painful! I learnt you need to be pretty damn fit to be able to spend a day let alone a few days up the mountain. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I think the biggest highlight for Blake and I though was Wanaka. It is such a gorgeous town set in the most picturesque location with really friendly locals. We definitely fell in love with the town and even discussed buying a holiday house there one day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was definitely a bummer having to leave and head back to reality but we have our next trip to look forward to now - Japan in March next year which I'm sure is going to be incredible!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just a quick post to show you my nails of the moment. As I am in the process of applying for jobs and having interviews I wanted to keep my nails quite neat and neutral so I decided on OPI's Cosmo-not Tonight Honey!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This polish is a gorgeous champagne colour with a golden sheen. I applied two coats as well as a base coat and a top coat, however I probably could have done with three coats as it still looks a touch sheer.</div>
