My Go-To Makeup




Hey guys, today I thought I'd show you what I tend to reach for to put on my face everyday!

FACE: After I've moisturised I go straight in with foundation. I use primer on the weekend and some days if I'm bothered but if I'm just going to work or the shops I don't always bother. At the moment I'm fake tanned so I'm using the L'oreal Infallible Stay Fresh Foundation in 150 Radiant Biege and I use the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in 030 Classic Biege under my eyes and anywhere else that needs it. I set my face with the Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder in Darket Brown. I then contour and bronze up my face with Benefit's Hoola Bronzer and use their Rockateur blush on my cheeks (I usually use this only when I'm tanned because my usual is too light for the tanned life haha) Then I highlight my cheekbones with Incandescent Light from the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette.

BROWS: I use the Anastasia Brow Wiz in Caramel. They only had two colours to choose from when I bought it at the time but it works! Sometimes I'll add some light brown eyeshadow if I feel the need to.

EYES: I swtich between two different products to put in my crease on an everyday basis. Benefit's Hoola bronzer again or the shade Cover from Urban Decay's Naked Basics 2 palette. In this case I used both - I find that Hoola blends WAY easier even with a primer. So that's pretty simple. I use the Maybelline Hypersharp Wing eyeliner and oh my god it's amazing! I used to swear by the Master Precise but I'm obsessed with this. As for mascara, I always use 2-3 different ones as one never seems to quite do the job for me. I curl them first then I use Sephora's Outrageous Curl which took me by surprise. I then go in with the sample size I have of the Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara which is a classic and don't know why it's taken me so long to try! I also use the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara because duh.

LIPS: Before I start my makeup I apply Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker Extreme Lip Plumper. Now I wouldn't say extreme but I think it does something. Then I line my lips with No Bleeding Lips lip liner (no idea what the brand is, I got it from Sephora in Hawaii) and the Rimmel Lip Liner in Addiction. I don't always line my lips, sometimes a girl aint got time for dat. My favourite lipstick at the moment is Mac's Velvet Teddy. I've been wanting it for SO LONG now and I finally caved and bought it when i was in Adelaide and I haven't looked back - it was always looks SO DAMN GOOD! No question as to why it's a beauty must-have.

So that's it really. What are your favourite products to use?

Bondi






Wearing: Cotton On tee, Lily Loves by Target skirt, Betts boots, Rubi sunglasses, Colette by Collete Hayman bag, The Horse watch

On Friday afternoon after I finished work Jordyn and I made our way to Bondi Beach. We originally planned to take photos for both of our blogs but there had been a massive storm so we decided to not bring our big DSLRs and instead just still hang out and do something. We ended up in Bondi as planned anyway and by then the sun was out (trust!). We both share a love for acai bowls so she took me to Bondi Wholefoods which I have wanted to visit for a while now. It was soooo yummy, we definitely left more than satisfied. 

Even though I've lived in Sydney my whole life, this was only my second time going to Bondi Beach - crazy right?! Since the sun was out I wanted to wander down around the beach and see the cool graffiti that's displayed along the beach. Luckily the hug dark clouds heading back towards us held off well until after we had left. So of course we had to take photos of each other in front of some graffiti! We found this wall by @awolcreations and decided it was our favourite!

Have you ever been to Bondi? What's some places you recommend there?
