<br />
Hello Beauties!<br />
<br />
If you have been following along my YouTube channel as of late you probably would of noticed my skin hasn't been looking its best. Since being diagnosed with PCOS over a year ago I have spent the last 12 months in the search of products to help get my adult acne under control.<br />
<br />
I am glad to report that the Avene Cleanance range is on my adult acne approved list! I am currently using the Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel, Avene TriAcneal EXPERT and Cleanance EXPERT creams as part of my daily skincare routine and now I have the confidence to return to snapchat featuring my bare face. After the first few days of my new routine I noticed that no new breakouts were forming, I am in a few weeks in now and still no new breakouts! All that is left is 4-5 bumps under my skin slowly working their way out that had been there since before my new routine.<br />
<b><u><br />Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel:</u></b><br />
This light blue gel comes in a 200mL bottle and right off the bat I loved the packaging of this. The lid is a twist top which opens a small hole to squeeze the product out. This means no more dried up product around the opening and no more wasted product! I use this cleanser every morning and night, and it does a fantastic job at removing any dirt or excess oil without leaving my skin feeling tight.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Avene Cleanance EXPERT:</u></b><br />
This is a great lightweight moisturiser perfect for oily and blemish prone skin. I use this everyday after I cleanse my face and I have seen a huge difference in the oiliness of my skin, especially around my T zone. This moisturiser is great under makeup as it absorbed quickly and didn't leave behind any residue.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Avene TriAcneal EXPERT:</u></b><br />
This cream comes in a 30mL pump bottle and is a little yellow in colour (which does show up on my skin) so I would recommend using this at night unless you plan on wearing makeup over the top. It claims to help reduce the appearance of blemishes, scarring and the signs of ageing. Like I said, I apply this only at night everyday onto any blemishes and scarring. I noticed a huge difference with it clearing up any pesky pimples however I don't think I have been using it long enough to comment on any effects it has on my scarring.<br />
<br />
Overall I am so happy with the results of this line. I did find the Avene TriAcneal EXPERT could leave my skin a little dry around my nose but this was easily fixed by using a moisturising face mask or facial oil on the area whenever I noticed it getting a little flakey.<br />
<br />
I would highly recommend giving this line a go if you are struggling to find something to keep blemishes or oily skin under control. #AveneNowICan<br />

<a href="http://www.sephora.com.au/brands/nude-stix?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_brandedcampaign_Nudestix" target="_blank">Sephora</a> has recently hit our Australian shores and with their new online Australian store going live <a href="http://www.sephora.com.au/brands/nude-stix?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_brandedcampaign_Nudestix">Sephora.com.au</a> - I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about my latest brand obsession: <a href="http://www.sephora.com.au/brands/nude-stix?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_brandedcampaign_Nudestix">Nudestix</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sephora.com.au/brands/nude-stix?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_brandedcampaign_Nudestix">Nudestix</a> is an easy to use crayon makeup line that is perfect for simple and quick makeup. Their products are enriched with vitamins, antioxidants and moisturisers whilst still having amazing pigmentation and staying power!<br />
<br />

<u><a href="http://www.sephora.com.au/brands/nude-stix?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_brandedcampaign_Nudestix">Magnetic Eye Color Pencils $31AUD</a></u><br />
These pencils are great for priming your eyes or wearing on their own. The pigmentation of these sticks is absolutely amazing and they glide on so seamlessly. Once the pencil is applied you will have about 30 seconds to blend it out (if you want to do so) before it dries; once it dries it does not budge!<br />
<br />
There was so sign of eyelid creasing when I wore these pencils so they are great underneath eyeshadow as well.<br />
<br />
<u><a href="http://www.sephora.com.au/brands/nude-stix?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_brandedcampaign_Nudestix">Eyebrow Stylus $34AUD</a></u><br />
The Eyebrow Stylus has a brow pencil on one end and a handy eyebrow gel on the other! The pencil has a triangle shaped tip for easy and precise application whilst having a waxy waterproof formula to create natural looking brows. <br />
<br />
This gel feels like cement for your brows, you will not have a hair out of place with this stuff! Honestly I wish they sold the gel separately too because I can see myself going through this so quickly, it's one of the best brow gels I have ever used!<br />
<br />
<u><a href="http://www.sephora.com.au/brands/nude-stix?utm_source=influencer_marketing&utm_medium=referrals&utm_campaign=other_brandedcampaign_Nudestix">Lip and Cheek Dual Pencil $31AUD</a></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I first saw these lip pencils I was expecting them to be like their name; a lip pencil. However the formula of these is just like a lipstick! They are so smooth and creamy whilst still having amazing colour pay off and don't bleed. Each pencil contains shea butter, vitamin E and peptides whilst doubling as a cream blush. </div>

Overall I am extremely happy with the quality and application of these products. Their simple designs are great for beginners or people on the go who don't want to fuss about with 5 different eyeshadows.

I have been in denial over the past few months about the
fact I am now a “grown up”. Along with the mountain on responsibilities I have
to accept (being in charge of my own bed time with Netflix and YouTube existing
is a terrible idea) I now have to face facts and accept my skin isn't what it
used to be. Fine lines are large pores
are have somehow snuck up on me so when I had the opportunity to receive a
complimentary Facial Rejuvenation treatment at the Laser Clinic Australia upon
my recent visit to the Sunshine Coast I jumped on it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The treatment combines fractional radio frequency to
stimulate the production of new collagen fibres and elastin, with dermal stamping
to encourage the skin to repair itself resulting in healthier looking skin! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
My main concern before this treatment was the whole idea
sounded painful to me, so the first thing I want to inform you all on my
experience is that it wasn't! There were some slight prick feelings on my
forehead and cheekbones but other than that it felt like someone was repeatedly
poking me in the face with the fine tip pen. Now on to the treatment.<br />
<br />
First off a numbing cream is applied all over your face, which took about half
an hour to work. Also something to note, it took about 2 hours for the numbing
cream to wear off. This can make eating and a little strange! Once the numbing
cream has set in the Fractional RF and dermal stamping takes place using a
little handheld device moved over the skin. <br />
<br />
There is no bleeding with this treatment and only signs I had anything done are
little imprints from the device and some redness, both of which go away after
an hour or two. Once the redness was gone, my skin looked pretty much the same.
It was the next day when the magic really happened. <br />
<br />
Once I woke up and cleansed my face I noticed a huge difference in the texture
of my skin. Before the treatment my skin had been quite dull and kind of rough
in texture, but now it felt so incredibly soft and gained a healthy colour to
it. My pores and fine lines looked less obvious as well but it was the texture
and colour that really blew me away. </div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br />
<br />
It’s recommended you receive 4-6 treatments to see maximum results; I only had
the one but am sure I would have seen great results with my pores and fine
lines if I had continued! Even though I only had the one treatment I am very
happy with the results. <o:p></o:p></div>

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LJM-0jl3ykM/VSdfNBbPR5I/AAAAAAAABP0/WUZG0TnBi3M/s1600/IMG_4418.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LJM-0jl3ykM/VSdfNBbPR5I/AAAAAAAABP0/WUZG0TnBi3M/s1600/IMG_4418.png" height="354" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">After struggling with the curse of sensitive skin for the majority of my skincare-trying life, I have recently discovered a few cleansers that finally agree with my skin! No longer do I have itchy, red spots or that slightly painful "tingling" sensation when cleansing my skin, and therefore I thought it was my duty to share my discoveries with the rest of the sensitive-skin world. </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">QV Face Gentle Cleanser</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am now on to my second bottle of this throughout my skincare journey, I like to stray away from regular products to try new things all the time but every so often I will come back to a product I know just <i>works</i>, that is this baby! This cream cleanser is extremely gentle, so keep in mind it will not do a good job at removing your makeup so you'll have to do that step before cleansing! But this cleanser is fantastic for dry, sensitive skin as it is gentle enough to clean away any excess oil without completely stripping your skin and leaving you with that tight feeling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Paula's Choice Hydralight One Step Face Cleanser*</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now this one is for anyone with oily/combination skin. It has a gel based formula that doesn't foam but is great for keeping any excess oil under control, especially in my t-zone area, without making my skin feel dry. Even though this is a gel formula, it still doesn't do a very good job at removing makeup so keep that in mind before cleansing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Puretopia Rise Away Purifying Fresh Face Cleansing Gel*</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like it says in the name (which is a bit of a mouthful); this is a gel based formula which I would only recommend for oily skin types as it can be quite drying. It did leave my skin feeling a little tight after use however it was fine after I applied my moisturiser. This did do a better job at removing makeup that QV and Paula's choice but I still would recommend going in a makeup remover before hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">People for Plants Cleanser & Makeup Remover*</span></u></b><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="color: #363636; font-family: inherit;">This cleanser is excellent for dry skin! This cream based cleanser leaves my skin feeling so soft and moisturised, it does a decent job of removing my makeup too however I still need to use makeup remover for mascara or if i've used waterproof products. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="color: #363636;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Whilst I love this cleanser for dry skin; if you have oily skin I would steer clear as I feel like it would leave your skin feeling "buttered up", like it did for me as my skin got oilier towards the summer months. Despite not doing anything to help my oiliness it didn't break me out at all, which I was surprised by.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #363636;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #363636;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b><u>Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3-in-1 Cleanser</u></b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #363636;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">This is another repurchase of mine (hence the near full bottle!) and I am yet to meet someone who has been disappointed by this little baby! It cleanses, tones, and hydrates all in the one little bottle and I have to say this is my favourite cleanser of the lot for my skin.</span></span></span><span style="color: #363636; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"> It also does a great job at removing makeup (minus some tricky mascaras) yet is gentle enough to use on sensitive skin and your eye area. I would highly recommend this cleanser to anyone with normal, dry or combination skin as it does an amazing job at cleansing without highlighting any dry areas.</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello my beauties and welcome to the new year! One of my goals for 2015 is to be more active and informative on my blog this year. So I thought I would kick things off with some skincare! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now before I get in to the review I would like to just give a few tips to those of you know are new to skincare on the basics when looking for and trying new products.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Tip 1.</u></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Identify what you want in a product and choose a product that targets your skin type or problem. Got dry skin? Go for a rich moisturiser. Acne prone? A skin clearing cleanser. Fine lines? An anti-aging line. Uneven skintone? A whitening line. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Tip 2. </u><br />Read the instructions and stick to a routine. All products should either come with an informative leaflet or have directions on the back to maximize the results of the product. In most cases (and in the case of this line by Elucent) you cleanse morning and night, followed by either the day cream in the morning or night cream at night (just thought i'd clear that up for you), then eye cream, then serum/corrector. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is important to use these products in the right order (ie, clean your skin, then restore any moisture that was lost, not the other way round) and consistently to see results. Also, you should not expect results on problem areas overnight. Your skin usually takes about a month to regenerate itself so it is usually after this time frame you will start to notice a difference in your skin. As your skin is constantly changing you need to stick to this routine in order to maximize the effectiveness of any active ingredients.<br /><br /><u>Tip 3.</u></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't be afraid to ask for advice. Usually at drugstores and skincare/makeup counters there will be someone trained especially in figuring out your skin type and what products would work best with your skin. Another way to picking a product is reading reviews on blogs or websites like beautyheaven.com.au<br /><br />Now on to the review!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Whitening Exfoliating Cleanser (RRP $29.99)*</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cleanser has little beads to exfoliate the skin however is gentle enough for every day use. It has a pleasant "clean" scent to it and leaves my skin feeling very soft and refreshed! My skin did feel kind of tingly the first few days of use, so if you have sensitive skin it's best to do a test patch before hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Whitening Day Moisturiser (RRP $49.99)*</u></b><br />I love that this has SPF30 which we need over here in Australia! The consistency of this moisturiser is a little on the thicker side, being somewhere between the texture of a sunscreen and a facial moisturiser to me. It is very hydrating and I personally wouldn't recommend this for oily skin types. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Whitening Night Cream (RRP $49.99)*</u></b><br />Whilst thicker than the day cream in the tub, once rubbed in to the skin I think it feels a lot lighter. The night cream is also very hydrating but absorbs quickly in to the skin leaving your face feeling very smooth and soft. <br /><br /><b><u>Whitening Eye Cream ($49.99)*</u></b><br />The consistency of the eye cream is very light and absorbs quickly in to the skin. I found it to be very hydrating without leaving any oiliness or residue behind which also worked great under makeup.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /><b><u>Whitening Spot Corrector ( $49.99)*</u></b><br />This spot corrector has a really rather runny consistency and did tend to take a while to get absorbed in to my skin. Now I don't really have many dark spots to correct, I do have a few freckles and moles but I think it's pretty safe to say those are here to stay and no product is going to work miracles on them. However I had been using this product at night as more of a serum and overall I have noticed my complexion look a lot healthier and brighter. </div>
<br /><b><u>Whitening Hand Cream ($24.99</u></b>)*<br />A little bit goes a long way with this stuff! Whilst it does have a rather thick consistency and takes a bit of work to work in to the skin, once it is absorbed it leaves your hands feeling soft and silky smooth.<br /><br />Overall, I have been using this line for around 3 weeks now and feel like my skin is more hydrated and looking healthier. I think this range would benefit anyone looking for a new skincare routine to brighten their complexion with normal to dry skin.<br /><br />Well I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years, and I will see you all again soon.<br /><br />-Kat xxxKaterina http://www.blogger.com/profile/04563374162729894195noreply@blogger.com131tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281072594922482717.post-42159354979884770652014-10-30T02:57:00.000-07:002014-10-30T03:04:36.834-07:00Brand Review | People for Plants<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now on to the products...<br />
<br />
<b><u>Cleanser & Make Up Remover* 120ml $24.95</u></b><br />
<i><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><u>"</u></b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">People for Plants Cleanser & Make-Up Remover is a creamy facial cleanser and make-up remover that cleanses, purifies and revitalises the skin. The formula features 90 per cent organically certified ingredients including the antioxidants white tea and rosemary. It also features aloe, grapefruit, shea butter and soap nut to provide a gentle cleanse that doesn’t dry out the skin. The Cleanser & Make-Up Remover leaves skin deeply cleansed, soft and healthy and is suitable for normal and sensitive skin.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </span></span></i><br />
<i style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></i>
<i style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Use in the morning and night, apply a small amount on fingers and gently massage face, neck and décolletage. Rinse with warm water or use a soft cloth, such as muslin for a more thorough clean."</i><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-weight: bold;">- </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Beautyheaven.com.au</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #363636;">This cleanser is EXCELLENT for dry skin! Some cleansers can leave your skin feeling really "tight" and dry, but this cream based cleanser and leaves my skin feeling so soft and moisturised. It does a decent job of removing my makeup too however I still need to use makeup remover or cleanse it a few times to get rid of any stubborn makeup spots (ie. mascara)!</span></div>
<dl class="shop" style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 15px 0px 0px;">However if you have oily skin I would not recommend this as I feel like it would leave your skin feeling "buttered up", like it did for me as my skin got oilier towards the summer months. Dispite not doing anything to help my oiliness it didn't break me out at all, which I was surprised by.<br />
<br />
Overall I would definitely recommend this cleanser for anyone with sensitive skin and dry to normal skin. </dl>
<br />
<u><b>Mist Toner* 125ml $19.95</b></u><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>"<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">People for Plants Mist Toner is a facial mist and toner that hydrates, brightens and energises the skin. The formula features 97 per cent organically certified ingredients, and completes the cleansing process by removing any last traces of make-up and excess sebum by balancing the skin with its toning properties. Rose otto awakens the senses while a fusion of kakadu plum and antioxidant-rich burdock brightens and energises the skin. Witch hazel and aloe vera nourish and soothe, leaving the skin feeling fresh and hydrated.</span></i><b>" </b></span><br />

<span style="color: #363636; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #363636; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">This toner comes in a neat little spray bottle which comes in handy and usually 3 pumps does my whole face. The mist is very refreshing and has a lovely scent of roses and lavender and leaves my skin feeling cool and hydrated.</span><br />
<br />
I love using this product in the morning to "wake up" my skin and throughout the day when I feel like my skin is looking tired.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Day Cream* 50ml $29.95</u></b><br />
<i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">"<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">People for Plants Day Cream is a moisturising face cream that nourishes, energises and protects the skin.

The cream leaves the skin feeling soft and nourished, looking visibly brighter and energised.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> </span></span></i><br />
<i style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></i>
<i style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">To use, in the morning apply several pumps to hands, warm in palms and gently press into the skin of face, neck and décolletage.</i><b style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px;">" </b><br />

I honestly would not recommend this to anyone who has even slightly oily skin because it will just make you an oily mess! However if you're a dry skin gal I feel like this one is for you! This was also great on my sensitive skin and has a very "natural product" smell to it. </dd><i><div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 15px 0px 0px;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Overall this is a fantastic lip balm, it is very hydrating and I love that it isn't a petroleum based product like most lip balms seem to be! This particular one does smell and taste strongly of Cocoa but honestly I wasn't too fussed on the smell! Everyone else I've asked who has tried this said they loved it though so I guess I'm the only girl who doesn't like that "cocoa" taste!</span><br />

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Diva</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is an intense reddish-burgundy colour with a matte finish and suits all skintones. It is also perfect for that "vampy" look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Ruby Woo</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A staple in any MAC girls collection, Ruby Woo is a vivid coral based red colour with a matte finish. Again, this is a shade that would suit any skintone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Rebel</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rebel is another popular colour for fall, also perfect for that "vampy" look. It is a vivd pinkish-purple colour with a satin finish. I find this colour works really well on olive skintones but there are no rules in makeup, only suggestions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Herione</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a deep blue-based purple colour with a matte finish. I think it is definitely a statement lipstick and works best with dark or olive skintones (but again, there are no rules!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Hang Up</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like this is simply just a glossier version of Diva, great for when you still want that "vampy" look without the matte lips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

All these lipsticks are amazing quality however I do find the matte shades to be longer lasting than the rest. I hope this helped you all with your fall lipstick endeavors and i'll see you guys again soon!</div>

Hello again lovelies! Today at Katerina Beauty we will be discussing the relatively new on the market makeup brand; Eye of Horus. This is an Australian brand that does not test on animals (woohoo!), is paraben free and contains lots of natural goodies. This brand focus' on using ancient Egyptian formulas and ingredients such as:</div>
<ul>
<li>Bees Wax</li>
<li>Ricebran Wax</li>
<li>Canauba</li>
<li>Candellia</li>
<li>Jojoba</li>
<li>Almond Oil</li>
<li>Moringa Oil</li>
<li>Sesame Oil</li>
</ul>
So lets see how these products went! Oh and just a quick warning, this is a very picture heavy post.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Eye of Horus Sun Godess Eyeshadow Palette*</b></u><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I'll start this review off with their eyeshadow palette Sun Godess. This little palette contains 3 gorgeous, bronze tone, shimmery eyeshadows which are very creamy and easy to blend! Pigmentation is decent however they do work better under an eyeshadow base. This cute little palette also comes with a mirror and double ended brush so it is perfect for travelling.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next on the review list in their black liquid eyeliner. This little baby has a very fine felt tip for easy application. It's formula is VERY black and dries instantly so there is no worries about accidental smudging whilst waiting for eyeliner to dry! It is also waterproof so makeup remover is a must for this eyeliner. Overall I think this is a great product and would definitely recommend to anyone on the hunt for a new liquid eyeliner.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now moving on to their Kohl eyeliners, I feel like these are the star of the show. I have the shades teal and black and they are AMAZING! These eyeliners are so creamy and pigmented, they just glide on seemlessly. You have about half a minute before they dry if you want the "smudged" effect but once they dry they aint going anywhere. These are smudgeproof and waterproof once dry, and they last the whole day. If you are thinking of trying anything from the Eye of Horus line, this should be it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final product left to review in this post is their mascara. It is very black, and great for lengthening and separating my lashes. I feel like this mascara is comparable to Benefit's They're Real mascara however it's MUCH faster drying (I feel like Benefit's takes forever to dry!). There was no clumping and I loved that it didn't flake off on to my under eyes throughout the day like a lot of mascaras do! However I feel like this mascara didn't do much in the way of adding volume nor did it hold a curl (two things i desperately need!). Nonetheless it was still a great product.</div>

<u><b>Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover</b></u></div>

I have been loving this cleanser all month! It's somewhat of a gel consistancy so it's great for oily skin and leaves my skin feeling so clean and fresh. It is also 86% naturally derived with no harsh chemicals, sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, dyes or phthalates so you're not absorbing those nasties into your body. Also, it really does remove makeup and has kept my skin clear, a big thumbs up from me!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush Lip Balm shade 220 Rumor Has it</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a relatively new product from Rimmel and was released as part of their collaboration with Rita Ora, and these lip balms did not disappoint. I have actually posted a review and swatches on my collection of these last week if you would like to check that out <a href="http://katerina-beauty-blog.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/rimmel-colour-rush-long-lasting-intense.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. These are so buttery, moisturising and pigmented, and this shade is just a gorgeous bright fuchsia colour. I think it is great for a pop of colour throughout the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Milani Baked Blush shade Dulce Pink</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you've been following me for a while you will know my obsession with the Milani baked blushes. Well obviously Dulce Pink is no exception. It is a gorgeous girly pink shade with gold reflects through it and like all the baked blushes, it's very pigmented, easy to blend and very well priced. I love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Rimmel Stay Matte Primer</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is another new product I have been using this month and had to put in here. This primer worked wonders to control my oiliness and I noticed a big difference in the time it took for my makeup to get shiny. If you have oily skin I definitely reccommend checking this baby out, and best of all it was only $13.95! However I'd also like to add it didn't really do much in the way of filling in fine lines and pores so I have also been mixing in a little of my Benefit Porefessional primer just on the areas the need it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>Eye of Horus Kohl Eyeliner in Black</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I know Eye of Horus isn't that well a known brand on the market yet, but it should be. This eyeliner is amazing, possibly one of the best I have ever tried. Once you apply it you have about half a minute to work with it before it dries and once it dries it isn't going anywhere! It is smudge proof and waterproof. I have been loving this for my waterline because it stays put for hours, doesn't irritate my eyes and is a BLACK black.</div>
<br />
Well that's is another month of favourites gone, I hope you enjoyed them. If you use any of these products let me know what you think of them, I'd love to here another persons experience!<br />

Hello beauties and welcome back to another blog post!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today is another Face of the Day post of an everyday makeup look that is appropriate for work and the daytime. I know it can be hard at times to find the line of what is appropriate for the day and what will make you look out of place. I find for me the best guide is the more natural looking, the better. </div>
<br />
Here is my guide to keep your face daytime ready and to avoid looking like a drag queen (but hey if that is the look you're going for, you go girl!):<br />
<ul>
<li>Neutrals are always safe </li>
<li>steer clear of any dark smokey eyes</li>
<li>Bright colours are fun but choose the eyes or the lips, not both.</li>
<li>Less is always more.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And this is the makeup I wore out to lunch the other day:</div>

<i>Left to Right: 500 The Redder The Better, 220 Rumour Has it, 100 Give me a Cuddle</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello beautiful readers and welcome back to yet another blog post, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
recently at Katerina Beauty Blog HQ I have been testing out the new Colour Rush Long Lasting Intense Colour Balm's* (Is that name long enough?!) by Rimmel that was released as part of their Rita Ora collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It seems every brand and their dog have come out with this style of lip balm colours and even though Rimmel seemed to be a little late catching on to the trend these lip balms beat many I have tried that have been on the market for a while now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Upon first trying these I noticed the deliciously sweet vanilla scent of the balms and the colour just glides on so smoothly! These new lip balm are buttery, very moisturising and have decent pigmentation too. They are true to their name and are very long lasting, even once the "balm" has gone from your lips I noticed the colour was still there, obviously not as strong but there was still a tint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall I would definitely recommend picking these up and only issue I had was the colour 100 Give me a Cuddle seemed to go on a little patchy for me, I'm not sure if this was because of lips were MEGA dry or if it is the formula because the other two colours went on PERFECTLY. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I’m going to start off with telling you about a little bit
about my skin; during summer with the humidity here in Australia my skin pretty
much becomes an oil slick. However during the colder months it’s like my skin
becomes the Sahara Desert and unfortunately this winter is no exception. <o:p></o:p></div>

But this winter I am lucky enough to try the Hydraluron
Moisture Boosting Mask by Indeed Labs*. The box contains four sachets which hold sheets soaked
in the formula. The key ingredient in this product appears to be the “3D
hyaluronic acid” which basically equates to a whole lot of moisture! Instructions for these mask are simple: cleanse your face,
slap on the mask for 15 minutes, take it off and rub in the excess. So the
first thing I love about this product is that there is no mess to wash off your
face like other masks. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
The next thing I love and what you all came to read is, it really does make a
difference and is so moisturising without leaving me oily! The excess product absorbs
into your skin without leaving any oil or film behind and my skin feels so much
softer afterwards. It also looks more plump and healthy. <br />
<br />
I feel like the one downside to this product is that it is fairly pricey
compared to the amount you get in the Hydraluron tube. So for me, as a special
treat I love these and would definitely recommend them to others.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Hello again my lovely readers and welcome back to another "Makeup of the Day" post! This time I am sharing with you all my go-to everyday makeup look.<br />
<br />
Now let me start off by stating that I do not wear makeup everyday, it's more like every other OTHER day, if you're lucky. But on the off chance I do decide to wear makeup that day (and don't sleep in) this is the look I will usually go for. I like to keep things natural looking and simple.<br />
<br />
P.s. I don't normally wear false eyelashes but today I felt like it ;)<br />
<br />

Hello my lovely readers, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well it is that time of the month again (no not that time, the other time!) where we all put together our favourite products we have been using over the past four weeks. This is what made this months top 5 in my makeup world:</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ-txby9HUyOxBmIcXmB-1sPYFrcvqvG41XfINYLpKq1zZaA3gjGm9k6jwTA3jxK9_qCZgQIXXr1NS_FoQwOBwV6jS1DqdcBb9y_EcEwNAGf2mJJaSZg1kBqK5E7JByx744FZfQHGbERiM/s1600/IMG_7362.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ-txby9HUyOxBmIcXmB-1sPYFrcvqvG41XfINYLpKq1zZaA3gjGm9k6jwTA3jxK9_qCZgQIXXr1NS_FoQwOBwV6jS1DqdcBb9y_EcEwNAGf2mJJaSZg1kBqK5E7JByx744FZfQHGbERiM/s1600/IMG_7362.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>PRODUCTS MENTIONED:</u></b><br /><i>Rimmel Stay Matte Powder<br />Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>MAC Pro Longwear Concealer</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>MAC Glam Lipstick</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Rimmel Stay Matte Powder:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a great affordable setting powder, for the size and quality it is well worth the money. I have been using the shade "Translucent" and it is an excellent powder for setting my highlight because it doesn't cake and really improves the length of time my concealer/foundation lasts. I love this so much this is actually a repurchased product of mine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is yet another product I have repurchased! Now if you have seen my foundation collection you will know that it is a BIG DEAL for me to repurchase a foundation because my collection stands at close to 30 different types of foundation already. (Who needs 30 different foundations? I do okay!) But I love this foundation for everyday use as it has nice light medium coverage with a natural dewy finish. It also smells good too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>MAC Pro Longwear Concealer:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ladies (and gentlemen) I would like to introduce you to my HOLY GRAIL concealer. Now holy grail is not a term I throw around lightly and I was sceptical of all the hype surrounding this concealer at first, but let me tell you, the people are right. This concealer is fantastic. It's the only concealer I have found in my long journey of concealer searching that has amazing coverage without being cakey. It's also the least creasing concealer I have tried in my lifetime. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Milani you have stolen my heart with your little golden baked blushes. I currently only own two of these but plan on collecting them like Pokemon! (That was a gotta catch them all reference... Okay... No more pokemon references from now on) Luminoso is a gorgeous shimmery peachy shade that would suit most skin tones and is very pigmented for a "drugstore" product! If you haven't tried Milani blushes yet I was seriously recommend them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>MAC Glam Lipstick:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay if you read my blog, or just my last post even, you will now know I am IN LOVE with this lipstick. The colour is a gorgeous blue based red, it doesn't bleed or transfer and lasts ages on my lips even though it's not a long-wearing lipstick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So that's it for this months favourites, what products made the cut for you guys?!<br /></div>

I believe Glam is a 'Limited Edition' colour that was sold a few years ago and has since been brought back back for yet again, a limited time. In saying this I recommend you run straight to your local MAC counter if you are a red lipstick fanatic like me because this colour is GORGEOUS. It is my new favourite shade of red lipstick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Glam has a gorgeous matte finish and is a blue-based red so it's going to make your teeth look nice and white and the formula is simply amazing. It doesn't dry out my lips like other matte colours do and it stays put for HOURS! I even drank two glasses of water and the glass was spotless and my lips were still vibrant. </div>

<br />
<br />
Hi beauties and welcome back to my blog!<br />
<br />
On today's agenda is a review of the relatively new skincare brand on the market; Meiskin, and their *Kokonut Kreme moisturiser.<br />
<br />
First off I believe Meiskin's products are solely available on their website ( http://www.meiskin.com.au/ ) which means you will not come across these in any stores (YET!). However, despite their lack of retailers this Australian natural skincare brand is gathering quite a large following on the social media fronts and are becoming a well known name.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW6fYuOFjuQxkU5gGhJnDSQdJAY22TkULkYGs481lKsKpDRYmpA5UhzGkvmUM4XasIqPbwnAEYb1AKsoaE3MrtiEwvW0rn9Q2wN3RIjZcmJH26AvmSJ2AUDDGqUtS13qtUpe7im3tbBxrS/s1600/blogphoto2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW6fYuOFjuQxkU5gGhJnDSQdJAY22TkULkYGs481lKsKpDRYmpA5UhzGkvmUM4XasIqPbwnAEYb1AKsoaE3MrtiEwvW0rn9Q2wN3RIjZcmJH26AvmSJ2AUDDGqUtS13qtUpe7im3tbBxrS/s1600/blogphoto2.png" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now on to the good stuff, I recently came in the possession of their "Kokonut Kreme" . On their website Meiskin states:<br />
<br />
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #6c6c6c; font-family: CenturyGothic, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-align: justify;">Meiskin’s Kokonut Kreme is our newest </span><strong style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #6c6c6c; font-family: CenturyGothic, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">all-over body lotion</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #6c6c6c; font-family: CenturyGothic, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-align: justify;"> with a blissful coconut and vanilla hit that works to moderately drench and smooth the skin while leaving a ever so sweet and yummy scent upon your skin.</span></i><br />
<br />
Now if you follow my Instagram (which you should: <a href="http://instagram.com/katerina_beauty_blog" target="_blank">@Katerina_Beauty_Blog)</a>, you will know I am a SUCKER for anything coconut or vanilla scented and this is a double wammy! I really can't get enough of how good this smells. Seriously. Sometimes I will pick up the bottle just to smell it. If I could have any product made in to a food I would want this and it would be DELICIOUS.<br />
<br />
Moving on, this formula of this light blue moisturiser is quite thick and creamy. It is such a great rich consistency I love to apply this at night and in the morning my skin is a soft as a babies booty! Now as I said this is quite a rich formula and that is why I mostly use it at night and I understand feeling "buttered up" isn't everyone's cup of tea but I LOVE IT.<br />
<br />
Another quick note, it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin! Which is always a plus.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoGoLQ_b_VULdE9z46Tv6Qj2T0pihK75_nQrsixbvYVf1IJxoHiZl2HvsUYeAdsE8jhWMWLf7xB4bOZMcbke2Y7okaCExmJx2DXB0j1WgqSUX2GMbyVfATIKDdL7t75azM7rVVBEovpFp/s1600/blogphoto1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWoGoLQ_b_VULdE9z46Tv6Qj2T0pihK75_nQrsixbvYVf1IJxoHiZl2HvsUYeAdsE8jhWMWLf7xB4bOZMcbke2Y7okaCExmJx2DXB0j1WgqSUX2GMbyVfATIKDdL7t75azM7rVVBEovpFp/s1600/blogphoto1.png" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So overall this product gets a big THUMBS UP from me and someone needs to create an edible version of this because it smells so good I don't think I can control myself around it for much longer.<br />

I went out with the girls a few nights ago to grab some fancy pants cocktails and thought I'd do my makeup extra dramatic for the occasion. I decided to go with a black smokey eye and nude lips and this is how it turned out:</div>

Hello beautiful people of the internet! It is that time of the week again, yes you guessed it: REVIEW TIME! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This weeks product is the new blush I picked up from The Balm Cosmetics at David Jones. Now I am a bit of a newbie to The Balm so I thought I would dip my toes in to their waters and start with this blush and their much loved Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter (which you will be hearing about in a separate post shortly!).</div>
<br />
So, about this blush. First looks of it is a cool-based pink tone with a matte finish. Which in my opinion is the perfect shade for winter! After first applying this blush I learn that a little goes a long way as this product is highly pigmented. The formula is very smooth and blendable and very high quality in my opinion.<br />
<br />
This product gets a big thumbs up from me and I would love to try more of the blushes from The Balm some day (maybe when my bank account permits). Now on to the swatches:<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello again my beauties and welcome back to my blog! In today's post I will be showing and discussing all thing "Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit" (boy that's a mouthful) related.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So to start off I picked up this little baby from <a href="http://www.anastasia.net/" target="_blank">anastasia.net</a> for $40US + $18US (I think, can't quite remember) shipping to Australia, and since I have picked it up I have noticed that it is actually pretty hard to come by because it sells out so quickly. Well let me tell you there is a reason why it sells out so often, that is because it is AMAZING. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5x3D76IQ6Nw/U1D0PWhtdzI/AAAAAAAAA-w/DviGxVS6mLM/s1600/IMG_5108_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5x3D76IQ6Nw/U1D0PWhtdzI/AAAAAAAAA-w/DviGxVS6mLM/s1600/IMG_5108_2.jpg" height="456" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>Top Left to Right</u>: Vanilla, Banana, Sand</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>Bottom Left to Right</u>: Java, Fawn, Havanna</i></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJARJtScEz0Spti5Al3Tn3DaFi8Pd_R1QKIZozb7zofDjtXviSB0H6IEir28tiZ4joekjvBUpjTC3nBeZf2-X_Rg8BO0dR-hZlg24YRgrZRSd9ezbohAIHSAkWQI7WdniO9rRz6EKXwAdN/s1600/IMG_5248_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJARJtScEz0Spti5Al3Tn3DaFi8Pd_R1QKIZozb7zofDjtXviSB0H6IEir28tiZ4joekjvBUpjTC3nBeZf2-X_Rg8BO0dR-hZlg24YRgrZRSd9ezbohAIHSAkWQI7WdniO9rRz6EKXwAdN/s1600/IMG_5248_2.jpg" height="392" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><u>Left to Righ</u>t: Vanilla (sheer and very similar to my skintone which is why its hard to see), Banana, Sand, Java, Fawn, Havanna </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The powders glide on so smooth and are a dream to blend. The shades are perfect for highlighting and contouring nearly every skin colour (with the exception of darker skintones, sorry girls.). The bronzers are matte and look so natural on the skin, not too orange and not to dirty looking! The three highlight colours are equally as beautiful with two (Vanilla and Banana) being matte (which I use to set under my eyes and the center of my face) and Sand being a shimmer which looks gorgeous on top of the cheekbones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have used this palette on myself and multiple clients (all with different skintones) and each time the results amaze me and I plan on using this palette for as long as Anastasia keeps it around! I highly recommend this palette to everyone, especially makeup artists who need a few different shades in their kit!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Maybelline Colour Tattoo "Barely Branded":</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been loving this as an eyeshadow base this month! If you have watched my latest YouTube tutorial (see here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVAmvqozVmc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVAmvqozVmc</a>) you'll have seen just how awesome and pigmented eyeshadows become with this baby! I also love that it keeps the colour on ALL DAY/NIGHT with no signs of fading.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Bourjois Blush 16 Rose:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I think this is more of a peachy tone than a rose tone but I am not Bourjois and therefore I didn't name this blush. Either way it is a gorgeous warm shade that would suit all complexions. This is my favourite blush Bourjois has to offer and I love the cute little pot it comes in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>L'Oreal True Match Liquid Foundation:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I didn't think it would be boring I would have this in EVERY MONTHLY FAVOURITE POST! This is my favourite drugstore foundation to date. I love the high coverage, the satin finish, how easily it applies, I really just love everything about this foundation. If you are after a new drugstore foundation, seriously check this baby out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a great everyday natural palette. I think its great for anyone who doesn't wear a lot of colour or anyone new to makeup, it's just a really wonderful BASIC palette and the eyeshadows have a great formula and a very pigmented.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I will be honest with you, when this first arrived at my doorstep I was a little iffy about this product and when I first had a play with it I thought it was a little "blah" and not living up the hype. Boy was I wrong. After using this on several of my makeup clients, and myself, I am now in love and this baby is never leaving my side. It suited all of our skin tones perfectly, has the perfect shades that aren't too "muddy" or too orange and just blends out like a dream. This product is going to be in my kit for as long as they keep making it guys. I definitely recommend picking one up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that is it for this months favourites. What do you guys think?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello my beautiful readers! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First off let me apologise for only having five of these wonderful babies, however I did buy these with my own money and I'm blowing my budget enough as it is! So my opinion of these products will solely be based on the colours I have as they are the ones I have used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now if you watch my YouTube videos (especially my makeup tutorials, my channel can be found here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/KaterinaBeautyBlog" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/KaterinaBeautyBlog</a> ) you will know that I absolutely LOVE these cream eyeshadows especially when used as a makeup base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't get me wrong, if you're a one shade lid kinda gal these are fantastic however I like to go all out here when it comes to eyeshadow colours and these create the perfect crease-free base that keeps me eyeshadow in place all day/night.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Would I recommend these?</u> Definitely, great for newbies to makeup and experts alike. If I had to pick just one I'd definitely go for 70 Barely Branded, it is the perfect shimmery beige shade that really brightens up your eye. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Reading not your thing? Watch my YouTube video here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/S-9xACLgbg4" width="480"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However if reading is you thing, please continue.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After my (and surely every other Aussies') Instagram blew up with naked pictures of women covering their lady parts with a brown bag I thought I would check it out and let you all know if I think it is worth the hype WITHOUT the nudie pics, sorry guys. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am of course talking about the Frank Body Scrub. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Frank is an Australian company producing (currently) two coffee exfoliating scrubs. I grabbed this one in "Original" however they do have a coconut and grapeseed scrub that I would love to get my hands on too in the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Firstly I would like to say I admire Franks marketing tactics with their cheeky lingo and chilled out attitude, it really suits the target market and has had a great response! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kRhKwUKf3M0/UyLKOwP8JOI/AAAAAAAAA9c/KPx-D8zz-yg/s1600/IMG_4732.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kRhKwUKf3M0/UyLKOwP8JOI/AAAAAAAAA9c/KPx-D8zz-yg/s1600/IMG_4732.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Frank claims to help clear up cellulite and stretch marks, now I do not have cellulite and haven't really noticed a difference in my stretch marks but what I can comment on with this scrub is the difference in the texture of my skin!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After using this your skin really does feel like a "babies bottom" from all the delicious essential oils nourishing your skin! I have pretty dry skin and suffer from psoriasis on various parts of my body and I have definitely noticed how much smoother and softer my skin has become! It does help to rid the flaky patches of my psoriasis (but not get rid of it sadly, but nothing in this world has so far) however I found it can be a little too harsh on my elbows (my worse psoriasis spot) and can leave them a bit raw if I scrub too much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now on to the smell, I was expecting it to smell more like freshly ground coffee and whilst it does smell like coffee it does smell strongly of orange (due to the orange oil in it) which I am not really a fan of, now its not a BAD smell, it's just not up my alley.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now is it really worth all this hype?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
...YES! It really is a fantastic scrub and makes your skin feel AMAZING afterwards! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you used this scrub? What were your thoughts?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
P.s. Two little tips for you, make sure you wash yourself afterwards otherwise you'll probably feel a little "buttered up" and make sure you use this close to the shower head as it gets EVERYWHERE!</div>

<br />
Now I haven't been trying out too many new products lately as I am supposed to be "saving" and "budgeting", two adult terms I am struggling to grasp. But from what I have been using this month these are a few things I kept reaching for time and time again.<br />

Another item that I couldn't photograph that I picked up is what I took the photograph with! My brand new Canon 70D! FYI I love it and it is amazing. I think we are soul mates.</div>

I would just like everyone to know <u>I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY OF THESE COMPANIES</u>! I just really like these products, the work well with my skin and I would recommend them to anyone with similar skin to mine! I<u> DO NOT</u> sell Mary Kay, my mother got me on to their skincare products when I was 14 and I have never looked back! That was almost 10 years ago now!<br />
<br />
