Some kinda new stuff I came across and thought they…

After weeks of crazy weather in Melbourne – hail, storms, floods and scorching days – this past week was cold and dry. And the problem is, crazy weather can often cause a number of skin problems. For example, today I woke up to peeling lips and itchy skin due to the drop of humidity. Thankfully, I was recently introduced to Ere Perez’s Rosehip Oil Lipbar.

Hardworking products that make you hand over your $…

You gotta admit, most beauty products are working harder these days to entice us to part with our hard earned money. Just to name a few, things like tinted moisturisers (sunscreen + moisturiser + makeup), anti-ageing foundations (skincare properties + foundation) and vibrating mascaras were all unheard of just a couple years ago. ... more

How-To Build a Nail Polish Collection – Part one

Building a nail polish collection from scratch can be daunting. I have to admit I was the girl with just a nail clipper and a nail file in her beauty cabinet up until I was 18 years old, and to be honest, I was genuinely happy and content about it at that time. That all changed when nail art exploded into the market and I was intrigued by all these colours and art deco in comparison to my plain-o-naked nails. ... more
