2017 Makeup Favourites

In some ways, 2017 flew buy, but in other ways, it felt like it was one of the longest years ever! I had started the year with the plan to be in London by the end, which did work out. But the process and waiting for the big move was frustrating at times. But all in all, it was a good year. With my favourites this year, I decided to be a bit a lazy on only talk about things I got this year that are my favourites, not a product for each category. Let me know what your favourites have been this year in the comments below.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette Review

Probably one of the most hyped about palettes in the beauty world, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette is a warm eyeshadow lover's dream. Filled with 14 shades which includes orange and berry shades, it retails for $75 AUD. This is my first experience with ABH eyeshadows so I was intrigued to see what everyone raves about. The packaging is cardboard with a velvet outside, which I can see getting very battered overtime but so far I have managed to keep it clean.

Upping My Brow Game

Up until 3 years ago, doing my brows was never part of my makeup routine. They matched my hair colour, the shape of them was neat enough to never be plucked or waxed, and I just didn't have any idea of how to maintain them. Then I decided to change my hair colour. I went from an ashy dark blonde to a slight warm medium brunette. Now, my eyebrows are lighter than my hair, which means sometimes it looks like there are none at all. That is when I started to take notice and start to fill them in. I've only ever got them shaped once at that was last year, my eyebrows aren't the perfect shape but they're neat enough to leave alone.

Review: Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

Hello all!

I'm going to do my first review and I hope you all enjoy it! Excuse my descriptive language as English wasn't exactly my best subject. Anyway, to the review!

Today I will be reviewing Rimmel's Apocalips Lip Lacquer, which I have in the shade "501 Stellar". I LOVE Rimmel's lip products so I was super excited to try this out!

"It's the End of Colour as you know it! The intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine. It's neither a lipstick nor a gloss... It's BIGGER than both! LONG LIVE THE COLOUR!" - Rimmel's website.

This is probably one of the best lip products I have brought! I've only had this for about a month and I've worn it around 6 times. The pigmentation in this lacquer is bloody amazing! And it also lasts a long time, which is another great feature of this product. I was out at dinner the other night and I wore this. I applied it at around 5:30, and started eating around 7:30. I was going to re-apply it but I left it at home (False alarm, it was just in the bottom of my bag). So when I got home I was like "oh no, it's all rubbed off, bummer", but NO! Well, it was a little faded, but the colour was still there, which is amazing since I was eating. I'm always self conscious when I'm out eating with lippy on because it can rub off and leave the lipstick around the outer edges of your lip but the centre has been rubbed off so you keep having to re-apply it. 

So this colour I would say is a coral red shade (see, I told you I'm bad with the describing). And it's super duper bright. At first, when I saw the colour, I was a bit skeptical with wether or not it would suit me as I tend to wear deep red shades of lipstick. But I really love this, it's a real summery colour and just all round pretty!

So to sum this up, I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting lip gloss satiny feel with loads of colour. This comes in 7 other shades for you all to try out. A few shades of pink, a couple of nudes and a bright pink! At Priceline, they retail for $15.95, so I think it's pretty amazing for what you pay for it! I will definitely be going back to get some more :)
