I'm Back, Bitches.

I have been absent for a long time - but i'm back and I've got my game face on.

I've been reasonably busy whilst I've been gone, but I'll catch you up real quick-

I now work at Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in the Myer store in the city. The brand is absolutely wonderful, and Bobbi is such an beautiful woman with such an inspiring message- not to mention the products are amazing!

Jason and I moved out together to a really nice place with an extra bedroom that I get to use for all my makeup! After being together for so long it really is lovely to be able to live with him.

We recently went on trip to Thailand, ate delicious food, drank fruity cocktails, got to see amazingly beautiful fish up close and had decadent massages. It was by far the most relaxing holiday I have ever been on, one that we definitely needed.

After arriving home late one night, literally the very next day we went to the Cat Haven to pick up a kitten- and we came away with sisters. Meet Trixie (trix, the grey kitty) and Kiki (keeks, the black kitty) our new fur babies whom we love very very much.





I've had a lot of time to suss out what is really important to me and where my future is headed, so I feel that now I can really dedicate my time appropriately. You'll be seeing more of me from now on, I can promise that.

The Aviary, Whisky Sours and .... Icecream?

Friday and Saturday I worked the product launch of Fake Up at Benefit Cosmetics.

We had such a fun day, we had back to back appointments booked and I wish I had got some snaps of the fun we had (particularly of the Saturday, in Garden City, we wore pink wigs!) but I was flat out almost all day!

But after the two exhausting but good fun days of introducing Perth to the newest and most moisturising concealer on the block (check it out, if there's a counter near you, it's pretty swell!) I was so tired that all I wanted to do was not leave the house and drink copious amounts of tea. However, the working world had a different plan for me. I had to nip back into work for something, so while Jason and I were in the city, we checked out the new Nespresso store which was stylish and smelt amazing! And we also checked out The Nest, at the Aviary, which is one of the first places that have actually given me a Whisky Sour!

Check out my photos below of my surprise sunday outing! Once we finally got home we managed to have a nice relaxing evening, but too soon it was time to get out of bed on the monday morning and head off to work again! Sigh!

 First we went to the Nespresso store, which I didn't even know we had! 

 They had free testers of the coffee, in this stylish set up! isn't it lovely?

Jason enjoying his adorable free sample!

Heading upstairs to The Nest!  

The cute bar! Jason ordering our delicious food! 

Jason returned with a surprise! They had Whisky Sours! 

And boy, did I feel them! 

The view!

Probably the most delicious onion rings I've ever had. And a darn good pizza, too!

As if Pizza, Onion Rings, and Whisky wasn't enough,

 we decided some sweet treats were the right way to go.

So once my work thing was sorted, we hopped on a train to head home, with a bit of a sugar rush! 

Then we had a cute night in, watching tv shows and just being in each others company. 

I hope you all had beautiful weekends!

My Week in Instagram Photographs

Here's my week in Instagram Photographs

Had Brunch with Jason and Kieran at Lawleys. I'm a lover of freshly squeezed Orange Juice.

I'm used to wearing all black for work now, however I'm still getting used to getting up early to catch multiple buses to get to and from work.

Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins and Tea for a quick breakfast before heading off to work.

After work Jason and I went shopping to get his nan a birthday present. After a hard day at work shopping certainly wasn't what I felt like doing. So we had a break inbetween shopping and I had a delicious Lemon Lime and Bitters.

A relaxing Bath using some of my Lush products and a read was much needed after the week I'd had. 

Made another batch of Muffins for the following week. 

I made some adjustments to the recipe too, adding apple to it.

And today, it was my day off. And luckily, too, because I was feeling really unwell.

 So I spent a lot of the day in bed watching friends, tidying my room, 

and just relaxing to try and feel better before work starts again tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a good week, splendid weekend and enjoy the next few days. Mine will be very busy, but hopefully some exciting posts to come!

Winter Wishing

My absolute favourite time of the year is Autumn/Winter.

Have you noticed that you either suit the colours that are more fashionable in winter or those in summer. Well, I'm best suited to the wines, crimson, purple, deep colours of winter. The fact that it's almost (and that's a big almost) heading into autumn I'm excited to think about the trends that will be big in those months.

Pairing the full eyebrows with a wine coloured lip is one of my favourite things to pull off during the colder month. Other than a wine colour, a deeper red on a full coverage face always looks great too.

If your eyes are your best feature then you can keep it natural on your face and your lips and frame your face lightly with some contouring and lightly fill in your lashes before doing a black or brown smokey eye with a lot of mascara piled on.

Lashes are also becoming increasingly popular lately, which I love because I can never find enough reason to wear them and I love how they transfer my look when I do. You can go from more 'natural looking' lashes to full on night out lashes. You can start from cheap ones that you can find on ebay to begin with so you can learn how to apply them yourself before you splurge on some better quality ones. For glue, I'd recommend using Duo which in Australia you can pick up on ebay or from Kit Cosmetics/Mecca which is online and in store.

If you're not into applying fake lashes but still want the full lash effect making sure you curl your lashes before you apply mascara is always a good first step. And layering up your mascara or using a few typed of mascaras used for different purposes that can do good as well. Or if you wanted to get lash extensions that's another semi permanent solution to having fuller lashes as well.

The other thing that I love about the colder seasons is the wardrobe! I love tights, boots, cosy jumpers, jackets and beanies. I love layering my clothes and that feeling of being chilly!

What's your favourite season? And what's your favourite makeup or clothing thing about that season?

Love to love you guys!
