TV Shows You Should Check Out

I'm pretty stuck in my ways when it comes to TV shows and tend to have the same ones (hello Friends...) on repeat and regular rotation. So I made it my mission to branch out and watch a few new things. I like to watch series all the way through, meaning I gave these all a fair go. Here are my picks:

Hello to Highlighting

I have a confession to make... until recently I had never used highlighter before. In my defence, there are so many highlighters in this world that I didn't know where to begin. I did some research and read some reviews (as I always do before purchasing something new) and decided on Makeup Revolution's Vivid Baked Highlighter in Golden Lights. I also picked up the Setting Brush from Real Techniques. Here are some thoughts:

Here's My 2017 So Far

Hello blogging world! Once again, it's been a while.

The last time I posted here it was my last day in Wellington. Now, I've been living in Melbourne for nearly 7 months! I knew that moving to Melbourne would keep me crazy busy but I had no idea just how much. Here's my 2017 so far:

Goodbye Wellington

View from my hotel

Tomorrow is a very exciting, nerve-racking and all together weird day for me. Tomorrow at 7pm I will be heading to the airport to leave Wellington and move back to Australia. I've spent the last 11 months in this beautiful city and could not be more thankful for everything that has happened this year. 

Lush: Rub Rub Rub | Review

Oh Lush, you certainly do have my heart. There's nothing I enjoy more than a luxurious Lush product. They always feel like such a treat to use! Rub Rub Rub is the first scrub that I have used from Lush. I received it as a birthday gift back in April from my wonderful mum. Today I am finally reviewing it for you! 

Spring Nail Colours

Right: Virgin Snow

We are well and truly into Spring, in fact, it's almost Summer! In light of the nicer weather, that is hopefully on it's way, I purchased a few new Essie polishes. These two colours are perfect for warmer months! Here is what I picked up: 

Why You Should Do A Social Media Detox

Social media has become a huge part of modern life. As a blogger, it's an integral tool for me to connect with like minded people and share my content. People use social media to speak to loved ones, share their humour, promote their businesses and rally support for different causes. There are so many beneficial aspects to social media but, as I'm sure we all know, it can also have negative effect. So here's why you should do a social media detox right now!

Latest Beauty Steals

I think we can all agree that there is nothing better than a bargain. Today I'm going to share with you two products that I recently purchased. Big Bucket Deals had a pop up store in Wellington last week and over the weekend, so clearly I had to take advantage of the prices.

Maybelline: Illegal Length Mascara | Review

Maybelline is my go-to for mascara and today I'm sharing a product I've been loving all year. Their Illegal Length mascara has found its way into regular rotation in my make up routine.

Blog Prop Haul

Happy November everyone! Can you believe that we only have two months left of 2016?!

I've been feeling that my blog photos have been lacking. I always envy the photos I see on other blogs. So I decided to use them as inspiration. I started taking note of what I liked and figuring out what elements I wanted to start including in my own photos. I took advantage of the Labour Day long weekend sales and picked up a few bits and pieces. Here is what I got! All prices are in NZD.

Visiting Home

A few weeks ago I returned to Wellington after visiting home for the first time in 8 months. I was able to spend 10 days at home. It was a great chance to rest and refresh. After being non-stop for so long I really enjoyed the break.

Back to Blogging!

Hello blogging world, I'm back! It's been five months since I last blogged and I've been missing it. I hope you've all been well. 

St. Ives: Green Tea Scrub | Review

Scrubs are so important for your skin and today I thought I'd share a product I added to my skincare routine a few months ago. As I was researching for this post I discovered that St. Ives have rebranded and re-released this scrub. I am unsure whether the formula is the same, but I thought I'd share my findings on St. Ives' Blackhead Clearing Scrub anyway!

5 Things I Miss About Home

I've officially been in Wellington for three and a half months! That is quite a surreal thought for me. I feel like I have achieved so much in such a small time frame and am positive about my experience so far. On Friday I have family coming to visit me for a few days and I am so excited to share my new life with them. That being said, it also has me thinking about home more than usual. So today I wanted to share 5 things I miss about home:

Real Techniques: Expert Face Brush and Powder Brush | Review

Real Techniques has a wide range of quality brushes at an affordable price! Created by Sam and Nic Chapman, Real Techniques offers every brush a girl could ever need. I currently own the Expert Face Brush and Powder Brush. Today I'm sharing my thoughts on them with you:

L'Oreal Paris: True Match Foundation | Review

Finding the perfect foundation is something I've struggled with since I first started wearing make up. It's not something I wear every day, generally only when my skin is having a bad day, I feel like making my complexion more even or I'm doing a full face of make up. As a pale person with yellow undertones, I find it difficult to find a foundation that matches my skin without being too orange, too pink or too dark. L'Oreal Paris' True Match Foundation has a wide range of shades so I decided to give it a go!

Turning 20

Tomorrow is the my 20th birthday (happy birthday to me!). Over the past week I have been reflecting on my life and what I have achieved. I would say at the moment I am happy with my life and happy with who I am. Today I was going to share 20 things I learned by 20. Instead I've decided to touch on just a few things, more in depth. So here are some words of wisdom from me in my last few hours of being 19! 

7 Spotify Playlists

I love Spotify. It's great for discovering new music, artists you've never heard of and listening to the big hits! I'm also a huge fan of their playlists. I have a broad taste in music and generally it depends on how I'm feeling. Spotify is perfect for finding playlists that match your mood! Today I'm sharing 7 playlists that I'm loving right now: 

Maybelline: Instant Age Rewind Concealer | Review

Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer is a product I have wanted to try for so long! But whenever I went to the drugstore it was always sold out or the wrong shade was in stock. I've finally managed to get my hands on it and here are my thoughts:

10 Things I Learnt When I Moved Out of Home

It's been two months since I moved to New Zealand and moved out of my family home. I absolutely love it here and have even decided to stay a little longer than planned. Today I want to share with you 10 things I've learned since moving:
