Big Bouncy Waves Hair Tutorial

Hello everybody!

Long time, no blog!

Hope you're all having a very happy Sunday, I'm currently just chilling out and enjoying the last of Sydney's hot weather.

Just made this post to let you know I'm making videos again and uploading on Thursdays and Sundays(and I'm really going to try and stay on track this time)

So without further ado, here's my latest tutorial.

Love,

Spring Suckers Haul

Let's start off by saying my wallet has been completely abused(don't tell the authorities) and I wouldn't suggest being this excessive with self- indulgence on a regular day-to-day basis. However who doesn't like new things? :) Without further ado, this is what I got sucked into.

Lavender Oroton Beauty Bag

This little beauty simply popped out at me when I walked past. Intrigued, I went over to look at it thinking 'damn, if only I could afford something like this' and to my great surprise it was on sale for $70.  You have no idea how excited I was, it was like christmas came early(on a good year), I simply just had to have it! In my opinion, it's too small for a beauty case and I've decided that I'm going to use it as a wallet or clutch(it really is quite small).

Oroton Key Chain

This is one of those little counter teasers. I already have this keychain but it's in the pink and blue colour and I thought that this colour was more muted and goes with more, plus, my other keychain is looking quite ragged so why not? I'm a girl, what's your excuse? And really, it's hard to pass up stuff on sale. (It was only $25) :)

Sohum Limequat Candle

My candle was almost finished and I went into MYER with the 'try new things' mindset, however, this candle smells so gosh darn diddly ding dong damn good and I had to repurchase it or my nostrils might never forgive me.

Essie Nail Polish in Chinchilly

Thumbs up for building my slowly growing Essie collection!!!!!!

Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Scrub

In need of a body scrub, I went to Soap and Glory after seeing countless great reviews on their products and BOOM right in front of my face was a BABY SIZED body scrub waiting to be nurtured so, of course, me and maternal instincts couldn't refuse. 

Benefit Blush in Rockateur

Despite the ridiculously cheap, garish, floozy packaging, I swatched this in store and WOW it is such a gorgeous colour! A subtle pink with champagne undertones and the perfect amount of shimmer? HELLS YEAH! I'm taking you home, and that is the story of how I got sucked in to yet another product!

What have you just been sucked into buying? Let me know in the comments below :)

Maybelline Colour Tattoo Review

Every beauty guru has them and if you love MAC paint pots, these are for you!

These highly pigmented cream eyeshadows have a slightly thicker consistency to that of a paint pot but are a great inexpensive alternative. You can use them as an eyeshadow base to make your powder eyeshadow more intense, by themselves just as an eyeshadow and sometimes i use them as a gel liner for a little something different.

The Maybelline Colour Tattoos are perfect for make up beginners as they are easy to use and you can apply them with your fingers rather than having to spend more money on makeup brushes.

At the moment my favourite shade is Tough as Taupe(the second swatch), this is the only one that i have that is matte and i use it almost everyday as a subtle eyeshadow colour for school. The other colours i have, have a strong shimmer and are perfect for a night out. If you have any type of eyeliner brush or a really flat eyeshadow brush they also look great as gel liners. 

With these cream eyeshadows, it is really important that you seal the lids on really tight as I found two of mine had dried up a little. If that happens, there is hope! I sprayed my Mac Fix+ into the pot and mixed the shadow and fix together and it restored the product to it's original creamy self. Also keep in mind that if you apply too much product that it will crease. Other than these two problems I've found, I absolutely love them and I strongly recommend them to everyone.
