Rimmel: Lasting Finish Kate Moss Nude Collection Lipstick | Review & Swatches

Rimmel Kate Moss 045

Now I was definitely late to the game when it came to the release of Rimmel's Kate Moss Nude Collection. However, I managed to purchase 045 during Priceline's post Christmas sales. I also swatched 042 when I was in store, but decided upon 045 as I felt that it suited my skin tone and style better.

Lush: The Kiss Lip Scrub | Review


If there's one thing I've learned from living in Wellington it's that this environment does no favours for my skin, particularly my lips. When my mum was leaving to go back to Australia, she very kindly offered to buy me something from Lush. I decided upon 'The Kiss' Lip Scrub. I'd never used a lip scrub before and felt that it was exactly what my lips needed in windy Wellington.

Matte nails are huge in the beauty community at the moment. Eager to give it a go, I went out and purchased Sally Hansen's Big Matte Top Coat.

Essence: In the Nude | Review & Swatches


Back in October I reviewed Essence's lip liners, however I hadn't been able to get my hands on the shade 'In the Nude'. I finally managed to grab it during Priceline's Pink Dot Sale (haul here) and am so excited to have it in my collection.

Moving Abroad

I haven't done many personal posts on this blog and today I wanted to give you a little update on my life. As this post goes live I am sitting on a plane. I decided a few months ago that I wanted to move away from home, to see how I go fending for myself and trying to figure out how to be an adult. I visited New Zealand last year (you can see photos from my Wellington trip here) and loved it. While it isn't a far stretch from Australia, I'm not even sure if I should call it moving abroad, it is a huge step for me. I want to experience life as much as I can and build some independence.

Caramel Tart

Caramel Tart Slice

Caramel Tart is one of my favourite desserts. It reminds me of when I was young and would make it with my aunt. It's very easy to make and only has three ingredients!
