Marc Jacobs Honey


Fellow fruity scent lovers, this ones for you. Marc Jacobs newest scent addition, Honey, is a delicious fruity floral that leaves you sniffing yourself many-a-times throughtout the day. 
Featuring green pear, fruity punch and mandarin as the top notes, orange blossom, honeysuckle and peach in the middle, followed by vanilla, smooth woods and of course, honey to finish it off. The bottle is just beautiful, with striped butterflies and polka dots. It looks really pretty on my vanity.

When I first sprayed this on my wrist and walked around the mall, I kept catching a wiff and instantly fell in love. As my birthday was coming up I decided it was top on my list and ive been wearing it almost everyday since. It lasts well and isnt a really strong overpowering scent. A must sniff.

August Favs


This has been a busy month so I havent been using anything too exciting, not that I ever really do. Ill start off with my beloved Annabelle Cloud eyeshadow. Ive talked about this many many times so I wont go too into it, but as you can see from the amount of product left in the pan, this is well loved. Perfect champagne shimmer. Blushwise, theres Nyx Mocha. Ill never understand there shade naming as  this is definitely not mocha coloured, but it is a really nice pink. A little goes a long way with this so it will last a long time. Because im super lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes and I often go far too long without a good cleanse, this Sephora Daily Brush Cleaner has been helping me out with the quickie clean. A few spritz's on the brush, swirled around on a tissue and its good for another use.

Ive been trying out the Avene Cleanance Exfoliating Mask for the past few weeks. Its actualy designed for for oily, acne prone skin but I thought it couldnt do any harm to try. Its said to regulate sebum production, unclog pores and exfoliate dead skin cells. Its applied to the damp skin and left for five minutes, then exfoliated with wet fingers and washed off. I like it because its gentle and doesnt leave your skin red raw. Its not a miracle product but ive been liking using it.
Lastly, is my new favourite perfume- Marc Jacobs Honey. This has a really nice fruity scent combo, and as ive said before those are my kinda scents. I cant smell honey in it, which to me is good as I hate honey, but really love this stuff. The bottle is gorgeous and I recommend having a sniff in store if you see it. A full review with scent notes will be up this week.

It is quickly coming to the end of summer and im quite sad as I feel we were a bit jipped with the crap weather weve had until just recently. My month was spent mostly working or trying to catch up on videos and missed tv shows so this wasnt the most exciting of months, but I hope everyone has had a good August and summer. Leave me your favourite things from the last month, id love to hear them

Rose Passion



From Rimmels Lasting Finish line, Rose Passion is a really pretty raspberry red. This is a really good colour for my pale complexion- I find the orangey reds looks a little off on me. I find reds to be hard to apply neatly, so I use my Real Techniques Detailer brush and apply a light layer of this to my lips and it lasts really well. This gives more of a stain, so it wears better throughout the day and doesnt come off as you talk, sip a drink, etc. This is probably my favourite red shade I have and actually have the guts to wear. Plus finding it on sale for $2.50 makes it even better!

This Week Im Loving.. #12


This has been a busy week so I havent been doing been doing anything intersting with my makeup really, hence why theres nothing all too exciting this week. Ive been using my trusty Annabelle Eyeshadow in Cloud as an all over colour a lot this week. Its a beautiful champagney shimmer, and as you can tell by the amount I have left, I really do like this colour. Ive been applying that with a Sigma E60 Flat Shader brush, which is really great because it applies the colour to my whole lid easily. I dont use this brush too much but I think im going to start to now. A slightly boring thing, but I picked up the Sephora Daily Makeup Brush Cleaner just a few days ago and it has made my life a lot easier. Im really bad at brush cleaning. I need to invest in more than one of each brush, but a cheaper alternative is a daily cleanser. Just a few spritz's of this and then swirled onto a tissue and majority of product residue is removed, allowing use for another colour, or just a quick clean for use the next day. It has a nice smell also which makes it nice to use.
