If you’re still searching for your perfect sunscreen, then join me! That sounds like I’m recruiting for a cult but honestly finding a wearable sunscreen has been on my list for so long now. I personally don’t leave my house without a hat (or hoodie in winter) just because the sun in Australia is so…

Zinipin Review – Semi Cured Gel Nail Stickers
Welcome to my current obsession … I wasn’t hit with all the Ohora semi-cured nail strips advertisements as most were, so I’m probably late to the craze. It wasn’t until I discovered the many designs that I realised that semi-cured nail wraps might be a good option. I have never tried gel nails, so using…
Ere Perez Review & Swatches
Ere Perez were one of the first brands I started with and I’m always excited to see what new offerings they have. They started with a small range and went from strength to strength, now stocking a full skincare range along side a comprehensive makeup range. I’ve been wanting a lighter skin tint for a…
Australian Sunscreen Review
Is this the year? The year I finally find my perfect sunscreen? Something that’s fragrance free, without the dreaded white cast and oily, heavy finish? If I had any chance of finding such a sunscreen, I had to start somewhere and I figured the best place was local. It also meant I really had to…
Ethique Review – Bar Minimum, In The Buff, Butter Block & Nectar
I’ve been interested in trying Ethique for a while so when Electric Collective reached out and offered to send me a couple of items to try I was really excited. I had previously looked at their range and they didn’t have as many unscented options as they do now. I’m so impressed with how committed…
Mecret Water Based Nail Polish Review
I went throught a makeup phase, a skincare phase and now I’m going through a nail polish one. I have been really enjoying having my nails painted again after so long. I used to do it once a week when I was younger, so it’s actually really satisfying to be able to do it again!…
Kjaer Weis Review
Over the years I seem to keep coming back to one of my favourite brands: Kjaer Weis. I really like many of their shades and that they are refillable. They’ve even released their iconic red packaging as refillable, which is a great option for lighter travel. I like to keep an eye on all their…
Laurel & Reed Clean Skincare Subscription Box – Okoko Cosmétiques
It’s been a busy few weeks, so I haven’t been able to blog as much as I’d like, so I thought I’d quickly post about a new Beauty Subscription box I discovered. As always, I’m late to the party but it’s such a good one, I had to share it. Laurel and Reed offer a…
Biologi Skincare Review – BM, BD, B4 & BF
Biologi are an Australian brand committed to providing pure active plant phtyo-nutrients in serum form. They’re well known for offering a potent single plant extract per serum, focusing on Australian natives, such as mountain pepper berry, kakadu plum and finger lime. *Update 23/11/2023* I think it’s best to address the issues currently surrounding Biologi. I…
Fitglow Beauty Review – Vita Set Setting Powder, Night Lip Serum, Brow Gel & Eyeliner
Fitglow are one of the brands I tend to keep my eyes one, mostly because I’ve heard so much hype over their Lip Serums and they release new products quite often. Their makeup range is often packed full with skincare ingredients designed to protect, nourish and improve skin. I picked up a few of their…
