Happy Halloween!


 


Hi beauties,
Happy Halloween. I hope you have had a great day so far full of pumpkins and spooks! I really wish we celebrated Halloween in Australia as much as they did in America. I would be buying all the Halloween beauty products and decorate the house for people to come and trick or treat! Anyway, I have a few cute Halloween greetings from me to you. Take a look below:

Lush Christmas Haul

See what I bought from Lush today! 


I went to Westfields Miranda today and bought some things from Lush. I got a lot of gifts for people and a couple holiday products for myself. The lady at Lush actually said that the small Gift Sets sell out close to Christmas. Since Miranda is a bit far away, I thought I would buy gifts now and be prepared. Sorry I couldn't take pictures myself; everything was wrapped up!

For Others:
I bought two Secret Santa sets in Red. The gift set contains a Snowcake Soap and Lil' Lush Pud Bath Ballistic.
RRP $9.95
I bought one Secret Santa in Green. It also contains Snowcake and Lil' Lush Pud. I think it is so cute how the soap is in a star shape.
RRP $9.95
The last set which I bought two of is the Have a Sweet Christmas. The set contains a Candy Mountain Bubble Bar and the Angel's Delight Soap in a star shape.
RRP $11.50

For Myself:
I got Satsumo Santa. It is a bath ballistic and smells sensational. And the product is so big!
RRP $5.95
I also bought Golden Wonder Bath Ballistic. I really wanted this and the lady at Lush said it was so good. She bought two of them and herself and there is a special surprise inside. You shake it to hear the surprise rattle.
RRP $6.95
The final product I got was the Lil' Lush Pud. This is another bath ballistic and is so cute and cheap!
RRP $5.25

There are still more products I want to get. So come back to read another haul soon!

Bloom Review: b collection Lash Out Mascara

Introducing a new product from the b collection by Bloom; Lash Out Mascara.


Hey guys,
I have been meaning to review this for quite a while but I just hadn't got around to it. But anyway, I was so happy to see Bloom release a new mascara. The product is lengthening and volumising and gives the look of wearing false eyelashes. I hate getting the glue and putting it on the lash, placing it near my real eyelashes and then holding it down which seems like forever. However this is not the case, for Lash Out Mascara. It is so easy to use and apply. The packaging is quite simple and I like it. The lid has the Bloom logo repeated all over. The applicator is your typical mascara applicator. It is great! Lash Out from the b collection has a lovely consistency. The product does not clump and it really looks good. I tested it and my lashes looked fabulous, long and thick. I think this is so so so so so great. It is prefect for me!

Australis Review: Double Deckers

Hear about the new Double Deckers by Australis as they just hit the shelves!


I'm so excited to review this product. Australis has just released five eye compacts in stores. The compact contains a cream eyeshadow and loose powder. You can use them alone or together. The packaging is very compact and great with a black and pink theme. I think it is fantastic how you can throw the Double Decker in your bag and create numerous looks with it. As I mentioned, there are five shades:
Moon Rocker - This Double Decker features a dark blue cream shadow and a silver loose powder. The two are a perfect pair!

Give Me Some Space - The cream eyeshadow is a dark purple with black hues. The powder is a purple with shimmer. The pair really complement each other.


Supernova Casanova - The cream is a dark brown with a bit of black through it. The loose powder is a light bronze. The colour is really nice.

Greenhouse Effect - The cream is a dark moss green with black and the loose powder is a very light shimmery green.

Cosmic Rays - This is my favourite one. The cream is a bronze and brown colour. The loose powder is cream with shimmer. They look so good together.


All of them are so nice and metallic. Also the Double Deckers are quite pigmented. They apply on well and the product has a great consistency. The thing that caught my eye about this is how convenient and affordable it is. You can carry it anywhere and you are getting two different products for the price of one. They are so great but so affordable!

Australis Double Decker
RRP $9.95
Available from now!

Which one will you choose? Bath and Body Works

What hand sanitiser would you use? Which one is your favourite? Take a look at my hand sanitisers!

Ok, as an Aussie, getting a Bath and Body Works hand sanistiser is pretty rare. I got five from Hawaii and put an order online through a friend living in the States. I think they are so useful and each one smells really nice!


I have been using Pow lately and just recently swapped over to Tangelo Orange as it is a great Summer scent! So which one would you use? Pick your favourites at Bath and Body Works now!

Le Tan Review: Coconut Oil SPF 30+

Get the low down on Le Tan's new product before it has even hit the shelves!


Hey, I am really sorry. I have been super busy and could not post at all. Anyway, I'm back with a new and exciting product; Le Tan's Coconut Oil SPF 30+. I welcome you my new summer bestie! New to the Le Tan Coconut Oil range, this product smells soooooooooooooooooooooooo good. It is a coconut scent, reminding me of tropical islands. The packaging is super cute. It is a short but wide bottle with a yellow, green and brown colour scheme to it. The consistency is pretty thin and lovely. Le Tan Coconut Oil with SPF 30+ is perfect to throw in your beach bag this summer. The sunscreen protects, nourishes and hydrates the skin with great protection from the sun. The formula includes broad spectrum protection against premature skin-ageing, UVA and UVB rays and helps to prevent peeling and dryness. It is so perfect. The product moisturised my skin and protected my skin from the sun. I got compliments all day about the scent and had people asking what it was because the product is so good. Le Tan Coconut Oil is so good for summer. So stay protected and stay beautiful with Le Tan's Coconut Oil with SPF 30+!

Designer Brands Review: Bronzing Cream, Lip Gloss, Lipstick and Eyeshadow

Get a second opinion on these Designer Brands products before you go buy them!

Hey Beauties!

Mineral Bronzing Cream with Shimmer
Before I even opened it, I loved the fact that it is mineral. This is great especially for Summer because it stays one better and longer. With this product, a little goes a long way. You can apply it anywhere you want. I like to use it as a self tanner and also a cream bronzer for my face. It smells so so so so so so so so nice. I think it has either a gardenia or frangipani scent to it. The packaging really depicts the product. You can also change the darkness of it, if that makes sense. The more you use, the darker it looks. It makes you have a sunless but even tan. The formula includes Vitamin E, Coconut Oil, Bronze Highlights and Mica Minerals which keeps you moisturised. The cream has some shimmer to it. I really like this as you can use it for different purposes even though it is mainly for your body and it gives you a nice bronze look.
RRP $12.99

Lavish Lip Gloss in Fairy Floss
This product is ideal for Spring due to the colour. The scent is also really nice. I think it smells like fairy floss. The packaging is simple but appealing. The colour of the lip gloss is so cute and really pretty. The shade is a light pink and exactly like fairy floss. It has a nice shimmer and shine. I think the lip gloss is moisturising, affordable, great and is fairy floss in a lip gloss.
RRP $6.99

Moisturising Lipstick in Milk Chocolate
The lipstick is fantastic as a natural shade. The product has no scent at all. I really love how its packaging is clear so you can see the product inside. The formula contains Vitamin E and is super moisturising. You definitely give you lips some TLC when using this. It is creamy, last long and the colour is locked meaning the colour does not fade away. As in the title of the shade, the lipstick is exactly like the colour of milk chocolate. I really like how the product is so neutral and is wearable for everyday use.
RRP $6.99


Whipped Mineral Eyeshadow in Mushroom
I have tried this before and liked it because it is so different. The eyeshadow is whipped and creamy. Like any other eyeshadow, this one has no scent. The packaging is nice and compact. It is shade proof, crease proof and I think fool proof. The consistency is like I said, creamy, and once you rub it in, it feels like powder. It is long lasting. The colour is a nice dark grey and shimmer beautifully. I think it is ideal for  smoky eye and is affordable. Overall, it is a good product.
RRP $8.99

label.m Review: Gentle Cleansing Shampoo, Daily Shine Conditioner and Volume Foam

label. m is a professional hair care brand that provides a range of different products for different people.


I never heard of label.m before until now and what a good first impression. I was sent products for my hair type. My hair is mid-length and thin. Thank you label.m and Toni & Guy. Toni & Guy and label.m are owned by the same person if you did not know. I was more than willing to give this brand a go.

Gentle Cleansing Shampoo
The product is great for daily use and rebalances moisture levels. It sort of smells like a kid's bubble but is not too strong and overpowering. I quite like it. The consistency is thin and foams up nicely. label.m's shampoo's packaging is quite sleek with a discreet but functional cap which pops open and doesn't make the product leak. The formula includes Soy and Wheat Proteins, Vanilla, Sweet Pea and Currant. These ingredients really effectively clean the hair, gives more body to my hair and gives it some shine. My hair really felt clean and the scent lingered on my hair. This product is great!


Daily Shine Conditioner
The product is ideal for daily conditioning and suitable for all hair types. So if your friend stayed over the night, they can use this (even though you probably won't want them to because it is too good)! It smells exactly like the shampoo which is great as the pair is cohesive. The consistency is thin and not heavy on your hair. Daily Shine Conditioner's packaging is also like the shampoo; modern and functional. You do get quite a lot of product. The formula contains Wheat and Soy Proteins, White Tea, Melon and Enchinacea. These ingredients detangle hair, do not encourage fly aways and gives shine. My hair felt nourished and I got a nice shine out of it.

Volume Foam
The product adds body to hair that is fine to medium. It sort of smells really natural and nice. The consistency of the foam is airy and foamy but doesn't weigh down my hair. The Volume Foam's packaging is again sleek and has a great pump dispenser. The formula contains Acerola Fruit Extract, Olive Fruit Extract and Avocado Oil and Enviroshield Complex. These ingredients protect hair from heat styling, minimises colour loss, adds shine and smoothes hair cuticles. I am going to use this everyday from now on because it adds volume and shine, protects my hair and is weightless. I love it!
