Beauty Goodies Galore!

I recently received some amazing new products that I have be so keen to share with you all but because of relying on my phone to upload the photos, it has taken me a while to actually be motivated to sit down and upload them all!


Sax Eye Delight Eyeshadow palette - this palette is an essential in every girl's make up bag!
All the colours you need to create the perfect neutral look and also to mix with other colours in your collection.
Sax Rich Colour Lipstick in Coral (left) and Classic Red (right) - I was so impressed by the pigmentation and how long these lipsticks lasted! Have definitely become two of my favourite lipsticks.


Here's the entire bunch of goodies I received, the two Sax lipsticks and eyeshadow palette.

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid liner pen - this thing is amazing. It's like a felt tip pen so 
you can get a precise and perfect line every time! I am so happy with it and it's definitely my
new favourite liquid liner.

Impulse Very Pink body fragrance (currently in my handbag constantly! Smells amazing! The perfect blend of fruity and floral scents and helps me feel oh so girlie!)

And MoroccanOil Intensive Hydrating Mask - this mask is literally saving my poor damaged hair at the moment. A few years ago, I stupidly decided to go blonde and have had such trouble getting it back to the way it use to be. MoroccanOil's mask has definitely improved my hair!

And here's a quick snap I took just now to show you Classic Red because I just realised
I hadn't taken a photo yet! Such a gorgeous red!


Terrible photo, but here is what the liner looked like on up close. So pretty.
And it's waterproof too! I tend to rub my eyes and not even realise I have make up
on so it was great to see that it didn't budge!

So there you have it, my mini haul, if you are interested in purchasing any of these products
head over to these websites and Facebook pages now and find out how -

My house smells like cupcakes!

So I think it has been established by now that I am a BIG (and that's understating it =P) fan of all things cupcakes! I own cupcake shoes, cupcake bows, my daughter has quite a few items of clothing with cupcakes on them AND I even have one tattooed on my forearm...so when I saw the opportunity for my house to smell like cupcakes, I was super excited!!


The ever so lovely Neety from Chickabilly Accessories was kind enough to choose me as a tester for her of Soy Wax Tarts/Melts and let me just say, I am impressed! There are a few different ways her melts can be used so I thought I was test out two of them.


1. In an oil burner.
2. In an organza bag hanging in my bathroom.
(And you can also wrap them up in foil and pop them in your car for a yummy scent! But since I don't drive, I didn't do this one)






I use my oil burner every day, I actually have two! I have used both the Frosted Cupcakes and Juicy Cherry and they are divine! They are reccomended to be used 3-4 times and then changed, and the scent is just as strong the 4th time as it was the first time you burn it! Each pack comes with 6 melt cubes and at $9 per pack this is amazing value! And they are all handmade!


The day these arrived in the mail, I put on in an organza bag and tied it up in our bathroom. I received these mid January and I am only changing it today! I cannot believe how long the scent has lasted!






Here is a list of all the scrumptious scents that were on offer!

JUICY CHERRY - The aroma of succulent, tart cherries. 


MONKEY FARTS - Please don’t be put off by the name! This is a delicious fruity combination of tropical bananas with hints of coconut and grapefruit and more! A delicious concoction of all the things a monkey loves to eat! 


ORANGE BLOSSOM – A fresh and enticing medley. It has sweet rich floral notes of orange blossoms and the warm depth of Lilac and Lavender - Perfect for spring and summer.


PINK LEMONADE - The wonderfully sweet, lip-smacking, tart aroma of freshly squeezed lemons & sugar along with a tiny hint of cotton candy.


CHERRY COLA - Just like the drink!


DEATH BY CHOCOLATE - Decadent and sinful, without the calories. The aroma of Warm Devils food chocolate cake. I swear you’ll never gain a pound!


KITCHY KITCHEN – Fresh Coriander. Top notes are sweet and green with nuances of melon. The heart includes fresh florals, jasmine, hyacinth, rose and white flower. The rich aroma lingers into the dry down. 


LICK ME ALL OVER - This should come with a warning! Lick me all over is an exotic and tantalizing scent with a delicious blend of tropical fruity fragrances including, sweet strawberry, raspberry, watermelon and cantaloupe. Along with a twist of jasmine & violet and a hint of grapefruit & kumquat. The alluring aroma of this very popular fruity blend is sure to seduce! 


FROSTED CUPCAKE - Deliciously decadent cupcakes topped with double whipped sugary pink frosting. Yum!


Yumm! They all sound so delicious! 
Now, these were only made for a limited time but I love them so much that I just HAD to blog about them! BUT she does make the CUTEST 
handbags I have ever seen and she has just brought out a range of adorable 50's 
headscarves which look fantastic, perfect for your inner housewife! So head on over to her page today and check out her goodies!

Cupcakes and cherry cola,

Every girl needs a little bit of sparkle!

Glitter.
Doesn't it just make everything more fun? I personally am loving all things glitter at the moment, shoes, nails, accessories - you name it! So here's some cute glittery things I found =)




I got my nails done with blue glitter a few days ago, a terrible phone photo.



I need an iPhone so I can get a






Lusting after every single pair of these gorgeous heels!

Maybelline Baby Lips...

Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm has been around for a little while now, I finally gave one of them a go a few months ago after borrowing my mum's one after misplacing my lipbalm. I was instantly hooked! I am pretty picky when it comes to lip balms and have only have come across (after stumbling across Baby Lips) two good ones. 

The first one I tried was the Smoothing Cherry, so yummy! I wanted to eat it! Next I picked myself up a Relieving Menthol one, loved it! These balms give you soft gorgeous lips with lasting moisture and they all smell so good!

Then I noticed Maybelline New York - Australia's fan page on Facebook were doing a giveaway "Baby Lips I Spy MNY" and they were giving away limited edition Baby Lips lip balms! Well, mine arrived today and I LOVE it!


How cute is the tube?!!! And with a scrumptious flavour like Protecting Berry, how could you not love it?!
I also love that these lip balms are SPF 20 and they guarantee 8 hours of moisture. My lips look and feel great after applying my new Baby Lips! Another great product from Maybelline and I think it is so sweet that they rewarded their fans with such a lovely prize =)

Lip balm and smiles,
