The Monthly Edit | August 2016

This month has been absolutely crazy! I got a new full time job! Goodbye retail and hello corporate world! Also hello money! The Olympics was on and I became glued to the TV for two weeks. I love watching all the athletes achieve their goals and the emotions after they win. But secretly I'm disappointed if the Aussies missed out on gold (which seemed to be most of the time). But they did so well and congratulations to all the athletes who competed. It must be an amazing feeling to represent your country at such at the highest level.

August Playlist | 2016

I fell like this month I've been listening to a lot more music. I've just started working in the city so I catch public transport for half and hour twice a day, so I have heaps of time to listen to music and really focus on it. Even though I've been listening to a lot of new music this month, I've been loving scrolling through the playlists on Spotify for some old gems!

Simple Makeup for Work

So exciting news guys, I now have a full time job! Yay! I'm going to talk more about that in a future post but I'm am so chuffed. I finally feel like a real adult now with a stable job. But this adult life entails getting up at 5:30 am to be out the house just before 7 am. Not cool. So I've been sticking to the same products for the last few weeks to have a steady routine. All these products are ones that I know will last on me throughout the day.

Benefit Gimme Brow | Review

After seeing Benefit's relaunch of their cult brow products and some new additions to the range, I decided it was time to invest in one of their most famous products. Benefit Gimme Brow is a tinted brow gel that has fibers to help thicken your eyebrows. It comes in 3 shades now, instead of the previous range of two, and I am in love with the packaging!

Especially the Sunday Riley Luna Oil, I've wanted to up my skincare game for a while and this seems to be the product that everyone raves about.

A Little Sephora Purchase

So after getting my tax money back and putting the majority of it into savings, I decided to treat myself to a little bit of makeup from Sephora. I have wanted to contour for the longest time but I've always shied away from it. Either because I can never find a colour that would go well with my pale skin or I was afraid that I would do it so terribly and it would look horrid!

The AM & PM Routine Tag

I have seen this tag floating around the blogging world for a while now, and I thought why not put my two cents in and do my own answers for the the tag. I like this one because it is a little different to others, this one is almost a "getting ready" and "get unready with me" post but it's in question and answer form. So here are my answers to the tag!
