Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme Review 0

Hey lovelies!

Just a quick video review on Sally Hansen’s Lip gloss/plumper. This is the ‘stronger’ version, hence the extreme. The gloss also comes as the normal Lip Inflation.

I picked this up at Priceline and it retails there for about $20AUD. I don’t think this will be too hard to find though.

Hope this was helpful, and thank you for visiting!

Purple ‘Smokey’ Eye 0

Hello people! :)

Hope you enjoy the look for this ‘smokey’ eye.  It is similar to a smokey eye because of the black outer v and crease, but not really a traditional one!

There will be photos and a list of products used after the jump. Click on the ‘Click me!’ link to go there.

Have super dooper awesome days :)

Idea that I’m loving: Cleo Magazine’s… 0

Idea that I’m loving:

Cleo Magazine’s feature on 21 different hairstyles in 21 days! What a great challenge and a fantastic way to encourage creativity.

Most of us fall into a certain routine, especially with our hair, and leave it at that. This is a great experiment in ways to change up your look by adding a few different details to your hair each morning – like a headband, or some clips- and just trying something out of the ordinary from your daily routine.

Definitely an idea to try out!. Now the question is, 21 different hair styles…can you do it?

Products I’m Loving 0

Hey all

So this post is all about a current product obsession. The product in question? Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme.

070_xl_v2

This is what the Burt’s Bees website has to say about this product (www.burtsbees.com.au):

How it works

Give your needy nails a helping hand. Nourish and moisturise nails and cuticles with this intensive, natural treatment. A touch of lemon oil makes your nails smell incredibly clean, healthy and beautiful, naturally.

How to Use It

Gently massage crème into cuticles after washing hands and as needed.

Featured Ingredient

Lemon Oil — Obtained from the fresh peel of the fruit of the Citrus Lemon tree, this oil is known for its astringent and anti-irritant qualities.


I have had this product for quite a while now and purchased it in a gift pack around Christmas time. I had heard a lot about Burt’s Bees but had never tried any of the products, so this was a great opportunity to try about 7 of there products and grab a cute yellow, bee printed makeup bag at the same time.

The gift pack came with hand creme, foot cream, a replenishing lip balm, cuticle creme and a couple othher goodies. Most of which I’m yet to try. I have tried the Replenishing Lip Balm and adore it.

Review:

Initial reaction to the product was a reaction to the scent. Being a lemon based cuticle treatment it smells of citrus. It is nothing too overpowering and is definitely a refreshing scent. The scent of these reminds me greatly of Badger Balm’s Lemongrass and Ginger balm, except without the ginger scent.

It is mild yellow in colour, and has a very smooth light consistency.

I was extremely sceptical about this product simply because I do not like having product on my hand, and this product’s title included the word ‘butter’. I quickly thought that the product would be thick and heavy. That is not at all the case.

As the instructions say, I massage it into my cuticles- a tiny bit goes quite a long way- and find it absorbs almost immediately leaving only the slightest film on my cuticles. After using it twice I could see a drastic improvement. Healthy looking cuticles with no signs of cracking.

Definitely a two-thumbs up product! :)

My only downside with this is the packaging. It is so cute in the tin, but can be quite difficult to open. My advice? Don’t moisturise your hands then immediately try to open the tin. Open the tin first. It will save you a lot of hassle :)

I am now looking forward to testing out the Burt’s Bees hand lotion. Hopefully that will live up to expectations.

Have fantastic days everyone!

Temporary Tattoo Stencils 2

Hey loves!
Here are a few screenshots of some Temporary Tattoo stencils I plan on purchasing for temp tatt gigs.
I will be hitting up highschools first to see if there is any interest in having temp tatts at their formals. They will have the appearance of airbrushing without the need for airbrushing equipment or electrical outlets on site.

It’s a fun way to add a bit of difference to a formal.

Here are the screen shots!

Let me know which one or two of these stencils are your favourites! :)

Have awesome days everyone!
