Fragrance reviews my top three Rhiana, Taylor Swift and Choose Chichi

Hello lovelies! today on this relaxing Sunday morning I am coming at you with three of my favourite scents that I have been rotating as of late.


The three I have been using this past couple of months are all very different in scents, styles and prices. They are Taylor Swift Wonderstruck, Choose Chi Chi Eau De Parfum in Peach and Mango, and Rhiana Rebelle.

Looking at the bottles you might think that Rhiana or Taylor Swift was the most expensive out of the lot. However I paid only $20 for the Wonderstruck perfume when Priceline was having a perfume sale. I paid $8 for the Rhiana bottle and $10 for the Choose chichi one because it was in a gift set of body lotion and shower gel, and it was on clearance at Target, perfume bottles alone by Chichi cost $19.

I have been getting into perfumes as of late and have a growing collection, however these three are lovely for different occasions. Rhiana was launched in 2012, She has been an up and coming favourite in the fragrance world, choosing many different scents, notes, undertones and styles to accompany the amazingly well styled bottles.

According to my research Rebelle was Rhiana's second fragrance, an exotic scent that lingers, and is inspired by her heritage, her Barbadian heritage.

An addictive, sensual fragrance, one that I adore because over time it warms up on the skin and changes.

Taylor Swift, wonderlust I fell in love with because at the time of it launching I fell in love with Taylor Swifts music, Shake it off. I love wearing this going out on special occasions. The bottle is stunning, a strong holographic purple with changes in tones of blues and darker mauves. Three charms, and a very nice font on the front. The scent is sweet, showing off Vanilla, Raspberry, and apple blossom scents. I love wearing this every day and to change it up with the Choose ChiChi peach and Mango perfume.

I love this scent, its a fab all rounder that is better than a body spray, layered with the body gel and lotion it lasts all day, it even lasts on its own. Last Christmas I was given a box of organic mango's and after smelling them I was wanting a perfume that smelled just as good and this one delivered, more mango than peach which I was thrilled about.

What perfumes have you been trying? anything I need to look out for? have you used these?

Rimmel london bb cream radiance

Hi lovelies, I am wanting to share with you my latest obsession from Rimmel London, and that is their bbcream in radiance, I got the shade light, even though there are meant to be three shades, very light, light and medium, I could only see light or medium, but this is my perfect shade and I'll show you how it works so well.

I paid just under $10 for this at Coles and was rather hesitant in trying another bb cream because on my skin they don't always turn out so well. But let me tell you I was pleasantly proven otherwise with this product!

 It claims to do 9 things, which I'm sure you have all heard of by now but let me show you proof of how well it works. My skin before just after cleansing, toning and moisturising, and then after with the bb cream and a simple make up look for the day.

It feels so nice on the skin! usually my skin feels dry after applying foundation but this being a bb cream actually soothes. I love how natural it looks as well, and the coverage is pretty decent too, very buildable.

Have you been using this?

skin care, facial and body oils drugstore and cruelty free brands

Hello all! I am shopping my bathroom stash on skin care at the moment, and am showing you lovelies, the oils I often used to treat my skin, when it is sorely in need of a moisture boost.

I love rosehip oil, and have really found it to work great on my old acne scars! it clears the redness, and clarifies the skin making it feel smooth, soft and plush. Thursday plantation retails for $16 AUD however I got mine on sale at coles for $12. 

It's non greasy, absorbs well into the skin, I used it as a night time treatment and in the morning my skin has less redness, and looks healthier, 

In Essence is such a lovely brand, this is a body oil but its also safe to use on the face, Rose oil has so many health benefits for the skin. A gorgeous oil that is quick to absorb, smells divine and in a really big bottle. Perfect for winter skin relief, and this one is a limited edition from In Essence. Cruelty free and Australian made.

This oil is one that has really surprised me, I love the scent, some don't like it but I do. I purchased from Coles ages ago when in an introductory offer and I paid $10 for it. Palmers always do great skin care products. I love the packaging, the bottle is classy, and the eye dropper it comes with very handy. It feels very lux. Its heavier then the other two oils, but still non greasy, and I use it at night to give it time to absorb into my skin.

What oils have you been loving?

rental inspections?

I love being a sticky beak and when my friend told me to come and inspect houses with her to rent I couldn't say no! are any of you like me? I love poking into the unknown lol some give me the biggest inspirations. And sometimes free food! lol

 Look at these retro tiles! I love them, I  basically begged my girlfriend to move into this place because of the tiles it reminded me of my nans kitchen so much.

This one to me seems ultra mod and glam, not me at all, but I still like it!!  I rather liked the cleanness of it/ The easy way to make a special thing into ultra glam!
let me know what you do to make your kitchens special?

Australis long wear lipstick first impressions in Easy chic nude lipstick

Hello lovelies! today I have an amazing Australian product, that I don't think has had much talk about lately. I'm pretty keen to show you this shade of lipstick, by Australis, because they are a cruelty free brand and are one of the top movers in the make up world.

 This is the Australis go long, long wear lipstick in the shade easy chic, I am in love with this shade! its actually a great dupe for a couple of nudes that are so popular right now. Aka Celebrity skin

 It is extremely matte but not at all drying on the lips, lasts a good 6 hours and is so pigmented and creamy.

I wore this look yesterday to work and am so impressed with the formula of this lipstick! its left my lips very smooth.

What have you been wearing lately?

Japanese candy time!

Hi lovelies, today I have an interesting food related post! its Japanese candy called Umaibo and its puffed corn snack in different flavours, I had 8 flavours, I purchased from Daiso in the city when I went on Saturday to see my friend Mel.

 I paid $2:80 for 10 of them, and they were actually very interesting flavours, from the taste and some of the pictures I could work it out but I can't read Japanese. Umai is mostly translated into Tasty. Which generally describes these puffed snacks well. Bo means stick in Japanese, so Umai Bo when translated is Tasty stick lol.

 A corn based tube that is full of different flavouring powders to give them each a different and unique taste. The Salami one was interesting, that's the first yellow one that's been open,  it smelled more of salami than tasting of it.

My favourite one was the salad one, and the chocolate one,

have you tried these?
let me know!

Lush soaps Bohemian Soap review

 Hi lovelies today I have a review of one of Lush's most popular soaps! Fresh, citrus, zing, wake me up clean! this soap, is so invigorating! I have been using it this week and haven't even needed to use lotion after, thats because it has two really important oils in it, rapeseed oil and coconut oil.

 If you don't like the lemon fresh scent in general you will not like this soap however if you do like strong scents like these, you will be in for a treat.

 It not only smells nice, but its also appealing on the eyes, see what I did there? a peal ing heehee, lemon and all that. But yes one of my favourite soaps at the moment from Lush.

 Nice lather, nourishes the skin, excellent scent, that lingers, but not just that I wa shed my hair with it because I'd run out of shampoo and conditioner, and its left it shiny, and soft!

Loving lush products at the moment, what are your favourites from lush?
