are you kind to your skin? Simple micellar cleansing water review

Hello loves! we all know how important it is, to remove our make up at night and this I have struggled with for ages, has anyone else? but I have tried many products claiming to be for sensitive skin, easy to use, etc but they have failed in more ways than one. This product however is amazing because for my sensitive eyes it doesn't sting! and what's more it takes off all my make up in under 5 minutes.

I purchased this at Coles supermarket when on sale, I believe it was approx $9. I love how it doesn't leave any residue on my face like cleansing wipes can. It soothes my skin, brightens and helps to make it clean, what's not to love?

I love how its a fragrance free product and that I actually feel clean after using it and don't feel as if I need to wash my face straight after like some products.

I love how its easily available around me, and is actually a product that removes my water proof eye liner and mascara very well. I hate waking up in the morning and there is still mascara residue but this cleansing water puts an end to that!

For a girl that loves a low maintenance lifestyle aka lazy this is perfect for me! Its turned out to be a daily staple for me, not just when I'm in a hurry and want to get my head on that pillow. Have you used simple?

winter glowing queen make up review and motd designer brands glam addict eye shadow cruelty free and vegan

Hello lovelies! hope you are all keeping warm on this Chilly afternoon in Melbourne/Australia today? I was inspired by the weather to get my winter glow on and this is the look I came up with and the products I used to achieve this look, all drugstore, all Australian cosmetics and all very good products.

This eye shadow palette by Designer brands db is a limited edition, and its their glamourous eye shadow palette. It's actually been one of my all time favourite eye shadow palettes because of the quality and colours in the pan.

They are super easy to blend out, and create fabulous looks that can be worn day time or night time. I love this palette! The texture of the shadows are buttery smooth, and pigmented well. I paid $6 for this on clearance at my chemist.

The eye shadow palette is called the Glam Addict, it boasts ten stunning colours that are so versatile.

This picture here was actually featured on mua post on instagram, so I'm pretty stoked about that.

 I used the model co lash and line mascara the two in one product, and the model co mascara to build length and define my lashes. I used the liner to create a subtle wing. This product is amazing because I can actually create a wing with it and not mess up.

 10 amazing eye shadows! you can see which ones I've been using and loving the most!

 They all swatch really well, are super creamy and lovely shades as well.

 the packaging is also really cute! not that I buy things forf the packaging but it does help! heehee

the finished look,  what products have you been using?

have you used any of these? any tips to get winter happy looks?

Nyx Ntural eye shadow palette review shimmers and matte eye shadows

So I wanted more eye shadow that was matte, and I've been looking online to find some great products that I could buy, but I realized after looking online I actually had some of these products already! so I shopped in my stash and found a forgotten product which is Nyx Naturals eye shadow palette, with 3 matte shades and 3 shimmer shades, as you can tell I've hit pan on it.

"A me but better" kind of theme with the colours can be dressed up for night time or casual for day time looks. Swatches beautifully on the hand, blends out fantastically smooth without primer on the lid. 

As you can see, this is a very well loved product! I keep it real with my most loved products, they are messy and dusty. These trim and cute palettes do really pack a lot of colour and last a long time! not the cheapest by far in Australia as I paid $10 for it at Target but for great quality eye shadows, I'm not complaining.

Admittedly some of the lighter colours are a tad sheer but with a bit of work, and primer can be made wearable. I adore the matte cream, peach and brown shade in this palettem and the shimmers make for excellent highlights.

The packaging is sturdy, and functional, over all the product is versatile and good quality. What have you been loving from Nyx?

First off, if you are a beauty blogger or someone who writes then this site is for you! Really Ree actually pays per article they publish, and they published one of mine! I got paid $25 euro's they send it out in gift card format so its pretty cool. My article can be found here Really Ree website

The second tip is, join Mysurvey my partner does these and so far he's earned $100 in gift cards just for completing online surveys. It's slow but at least every few weeks he gets something back for it.

making your hair look healthier after its been coloured review Revlon Color Silk beautiful colour

Hi lovelies I wanted to come at you today with a post about my new favourite hair colour! its a new one by Revlon, $9 from Coles supermarket. My hair has been lacking in late since I bleached and coloured it, after a break it needed some tlc and then a new colour, I thought this will be a good and effective way of colouring since I can get two packets for under $20.

 I've been disappointed by box colours before, however the revlon colour silk one is really good, it almost covers my whole head with one application. Which is saying something as I always almost need 2 packets for my thick hair.

 It penetrates deep into the hair, unlike most other hair dyes which only lies on the surface of the hair and doesn't take that well. It gives a good all over colour that actually looks professional, I had compliments yesterday at work about my hair!

 This is my new favourite conditioner, after reading some reviews I had to go and buy it, at Coles they had Palmolive on special for $2.46 so I bought both shampoo and conditioner, my hair is coarse and dry so it needs all the love it can get.

 after applying it, leaving to wait for an hour, and then rinsing and conditioning, I am so happy with the results.

This was the before, as you can tell it was sorely in need of some tlc and care, I'm so happy with the results as I was actually starting to hate my hair.

This photo was taken a couple of days before with my bunny Indy who is 9 years old and blind.

Have you been impressed with box dye colour products?

New york new york! physicians formula city glow

Hello lovelies! I was gifted this lovely bronzer by Physicians formula from a lovely friend of mine and I've been obsessed with it.

 Look how stunning that gold is! it has three shades within the one intensely pretty pan! and I mean this is intense! look at the texture! it has skin loving ingredients in it, and spf 30 which I think is pretty amazing.

 These pictures were taken with natural daylight, look how stunning that gold is! I can't even!!!

 Swatches, and yes the gold transfers amazingly well, gives such a pretty glow! and so versatile as well.

The packaging is sleek, I love the little button you have to press to open it, and it comes with a mirror and brush. The packaging is so nice, and it boasts very good ingredients which are an interesting mix, functional yet stunning!

For fair skin, new york is stunning because it just glides on and blends in amazingly well, the gold can be worn on the eyes, or as a highlight. It can contour and be used in a multi tasking way.

I love this product, bringing art into make up. Have you guys used this?
