    Why does make up have to be so expensive?

    Ever since Danimezza showed me the Invisable Zinc Foundation, i’ve been wanting to pick some up. When I finally found it in store, it was $45, I usually have a $30 limit on my foundation. Seeing I still had foundation, I thought i’d wait, but not before I whinged a little on twitter. Then this happened… As I mention previously, I signed up to Bellabox (I’ve also since signed up for I love this Box), so I could trial some samples for new brands. I am a beauty school drop out, and I’ve been in desperate need to replace* so many of my old favourites. I posted most of my…

    What’s in my make up bag?

Everytime The Carpenters Daughter post a new pic on facebook, I find myself right click-saving. To me, they are layering perfection! Blonde Bedhead.

    Bellabox!

    Last week, my first Bellabox arrived! I’m a bit of a girly girl and have fun playing around with make up. I’m currently on the lookout to find some new products (I’m after a new moisteriser, primer and some basic make up), so I thought I’d try out the new trend of beauty boxes. For $15 a month, and you can cancel anytime, I didn’t see the harm in trying it out. The boxing and packaging is so cute! As you know, I am a sucker for some good branding! It’s the designer in me. Everything item is explained on a notecard inside the box. In this box I got 6…
