In less than 5 months I’m getting married and my fiancé and I are very excited as you can imagine!

The photos and video that will be captured on the day is so important to me because that’s what I’ll have to remember the day by so I want my skin to be glowing and in the best condition on my big day.

Taylor Swift "Red" inspired FOTD and a giveaway!
This post is sponsored by Nuffnang.When I was in Hong Kong recently, there were promo posters everywhere for Taylor Swift’s upcoming Red album . I’ve always been a fan of her makeup looks – her skin is always glowing and she looks so polished and fresh faced. In this particular pic she’s rocking a cherry red lip, winged liner and paired it with a cute black and white retro top and I loved the look so much I had to recreate it as soon as I got home! She’s been sporting a similar look while out and about on her promo tour for the new album this month and I love seeing the pics as it gives me great beauty inspiration. Her flawless skin and red pout look fantastic and is a look that would suit everyone.

Everyday neutrals with a pop of purple!
This post is sponsored by Nuffnang and Clearasil.
When it comes to everyday makeup less is definitely more for me. I never have enough time for a full face so I normally use a tinted moisturiser or a really light coverage foundation and neutral colours as it’s simple to apply and still allows my skin to shine through. I’ve been trialling the new Clearasil PerfectaWash recently which has kept my pesky blemishes at bay. It’s been scientifically developed to dispense just the right balance of active ingredients to help fight those blemishes while still nourishing your skin which has made it easy for me to get away with using only a light coverage base which I love!
To feel comfortable with different makeup looks, I think it’s key to start off with a good canvas and for me it’s all about the skin. When I was younger my skin was nowhere near as well maintained and I was super conscious of that fact. Now that I’m older I realise that I should have invested my time in my skin - instead I spent most of the time applying makeup (badly!) to cover up my blemishes. Not only did it look terrible but I never felt confident.
The new Clearasil PerfectaWash can help you to create that perfect canvas to achieve that glowing clear skin that we all want. I’m sure you ladies agree that when you’re having a good skin day you just feel SO much more confident!
Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation
My time management at work is pretty good (if I do say so myself!) but after work I just never seem to find the time to finish everything I want! I often only end up getting 4-5hours of sleep a night so I look and feel like a zombie the next morning. Rimmel recently released the Wake Me Up foundation to their make up range and I couldn't go past the claim that it would make me look radiant even with only a few hours sleep. Here's my swatches and review for you today!
What they say:
"Rimmel’s Wake Me Up liquid foundation instantly re-awakens skin with a healthy, radiant looking glow,whilst also helping to minimise signs of premature ageing. No matter how late you got home last night, this anti-fatigue foundation immediately helps to eliminate visible signs of tiredness so skin looks rejuvenated. No one need know you were partying ‘till 3am!
The foundation’s light, smooth texture glides on easily to give a 100% pore-less coverage with an even, flawless, natural-looking finish. It it contains radiance pearls to help illuminate skin with a gorgeous, healthy-looking glow. The high-tech formulation features peptides, which helps increasing skin elasticity, so it can recover and bounce back more quickly. As a result, skin looks more radiant and fresh. Finally because the future beauty of your skin is all-important, Wake Me Up Foundation is the first Rimmel foundation containing an SPF 15 to help protect it from the sun’s damaging rays."
The foundation is packaged in a glass bottle with a handy pump which is great. The formula is light and smooth and aims to give a 100% pore-less coverage for a flawless and natural looking finish. The formulation of the foundation contains peptides to help increase skin elasticity so it can recover quickly. There are 5 shades available and True Ivory suited me best.
Swatch - the shade doesn't look like it matches my colour but my face is more tan:
FOTD using just Wake Me Up foundation, some mascara, blush and pink lippie on 4 hours sleep (!!!):
The left side of my face looks so weird in this pic!
Overall: I am really enjoying the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation! I don't really know how "awake" it makes me look as I still look sleepy haha but it definitely gives me a really lovely glow and gives my skin a wonderful dewy finish. It is very natural looking and I'd say gives a medium to full coverage. I don't need concealer with it if I'm having a good skin day either!
It blends beautifully and True Ivory is a very good match for my skintone. I like that it contains SPF (the first Rimmel foundation to!) and the wear is excellent for me - it consistently lasted 10+ hours for me so basically a full work day plus dinner. I am loving the price point for the foundation too, $20 is EXCELLENT!
The major downside is the CRAZY amount of shimmer through it. In sunlight I feel like a vampire from Twilight! All sparkly like the gorgeous Edward Cullen haha. If there was less shimmer it would be an overall winner but it's just way too shimmery. There's a slight scent to it which isn't too overpowering but some people may find it annoying. The shade range is very limited so for very fair and darker skin ladies you'll have a hard time finding a shade unfortunately. That's what I dislike the most about drugstore foundations.
Details: The Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation is available now from David Jones, Kmart, Target, Coles, Big W, Woolworths, Chemist Warehouse, Priceline, Priceline pharmacy and selected pharmacies nationally for $19.95.
Have you tried it out yet? How to combat the shimmery-ness? Thanks for looking as always!

Chanel Blush Horizon de Chanel swatches and review
When I was in Hong Kong a few months ago, I picked up my very first Chanel blush - Chanel Blush Horizon de Chanel from the Spring 2012 collection. I went into the Chanel makeup store determined to only pick up the Rouge Coco Shine in Flirt but somehow walked out with both! x) I am a sucker for Spring collections and just couldn't resist this gorgeous pink peach blush. It is just so darn luxe like all other Chanel products!
What they say:
"The luminous hues of sunset are now captured in one elegant highlighting face powder. Subtle gradations of rose, coral and peach can be applied on their own or blended together to highlight and sculpt the face or achieve an overall warmth and radiance.
To create freshness, use all of the blush shades as a harmony and sculpt your face using the beveled brush. For a healthy look, apply only the pink shade to the upper cheekbones and temples. For a glowing complexion, use the sun-kissed effect of a cloud of peach."
It's packaged in the signature chic Chanel black and white compact and comes with a beveled brush and velvet pouch. Sooooooo luxurious!!
Blush Horizon de Chanel is described as a highlight powder and has strips of dark pink, rose, coral, white and peach which can be swirled together or used individually. My blush brushes are way too big to use the strips individually so I prefer to use them all for a soft glow.
Swatch - left is the top half of the blush, right is the bottom half of the blush (excuse the scaly hand):

Products I used:

Face of Australia Translucent Loose Powder
Chanel Blush Horizon de Chanel
Eyes:
MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Shadow Pencil in Rehab
Lips:
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Flirt
Overall: Blush Horizon de Chanel is a beautiful and very wearable blush - perfect for Spring! The texture is smooth and gives my cheeks a gorgeous subtle pink glow. It's not supposed to be super pigmented and just gives the skin a lovely healthy glow. I like to swirl the colours together and I find it starts to fade after about 8hours.
While I love it, it pains me to say that it's not the most unique blush out there and not really worth the exxy price tag. It's great if you have pale skin (like me) so that you can use it as both a highlighter and blush for a pretty pink glow. For those with darker skin it might now show up as well as a blush but would be great as a highlighter. You can't go past the fact that it's GORGEOUS and that it's Chanel though and I'm happy that it's my first Chanel blush. It's so wearable and I will definitely get my money's worth from it as I'll be wearing it a lot!
Details: Being a limited edition item unfortunately I don't think it's available any more, BUT you may be lucky. It retailed for $90 here in Aus, $58US in the US and $540HK in Hong Kong.
Thanks for looking! =)

Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Runway Coral swatches and review
Clinique debuted the latest addition to their Long Last Lipstick collection during New York Fashion Week this year. The bright coral shade Runway Coral was inspired by the makeup look created for Karen Walker's Spring/Summer 2012 runway show by Clinique's Global Colour Artist Jenna Menard and has been been turned into an online exclusive shade.
What they say:
"Direct from Fashion Week in NYC! Get the look - and the vibrant coral lip colour - created by Jenna Menard, for Karen Walker's Spring/Summer 2012 runway show. Here for a limited time - and just in time for Autumn too.
“Karen wanted the models to look youthful and feminine with a sophisticated twist,” explains Jenna Menard. “So I kept the eye very simple, the cheeks healthy and then went for a strong, vibrant lip. I chose bright coral because it’s less expected than red, and I went to the Clinique lab to create exactly the right shade. It worked with Karen's entire collection as well as all the model's skin tones.”

Review: Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Color in Orange Blossom
Hi ladies! Today I have for you the second product that Adore Beauty very kindly sent over for me to try a little while ago - Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Color in Orange Blossom. I haven't tried Laura Mercier products before so I very excited as I've heard many good things about the face products. Plus it's blush - I love blush! As it's getting warm here, I decided to choose a peachy colour to try out.
What they say:
"Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour is a sheer light blush that easily glides on your cheeks to create a flawless naturally blushing look. Infused with natural botanicals, this product will soften and nourish your skin. With light-diffusing properties the Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour ensures easy and even application every time."
The blush is packaged in a sturdy dark brown case and includes a mirror which is always extremely handy in my opinion.
Orange Blossom is a light pinky peach shade with fine golden shimmer through it. It reminds me of a lighter and less glittery version of the popular NARS Orgasm - think of it as the daytime version of Orgasm! I didn't swatch it heavily in the pic below so it appears quite light on me (I'm NC20) so you can probably just make out my swatch. Don't be fooled by the "Orange" in the name though as it's not orangey at all but a peachy pink.

Eyes:

Stila eye shadow trio in gold glow
Face of Australia liquid eyeliner in black*
Fiberwig Paint-On False Lashes Extra Long mascara
Lips:
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Evasion
Overall: Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Orange Blossom is a gorgeous blush that's perfect for the warmer months! It's a very flattering shade and I think it would look great on all skintones. I really like that Orange Blossom is light giving me a lovely natural flush of colour - it gives a nice healthy glow. Alternatively, you can build up the colour very easily too if you want a stronger cheek colour. In spring and summer I prefer a more natural look but I don't want to look like a ghost either so this is perfect. Orange Blossom applies nicely and blends well.
The downside is the size of the product. It's actually a lot smaller in size to what I expected and also in comparison to other blushes containing only 3.6g of product. However it should last you a while! Because Orange Blossom is so light, I found a sheer application will start to fade after a few hours unfortunately.
Details: Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colors are available in 8 shades and can be purchased online from Adore Beauty and Myer and David Jones stores nationally for $48.
For US ladies, Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colors are available in 14 shades and can be purchased from the Laura Mercier online store for $24US.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Romance swatches and review
I picked up my 1st Chanel lip products when I went to Hong Kong in May and how I wish I had picked up more! I got 2 of the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks and after trying them I can't stop wearing them. They are simply divine!! In my HK haul. I picked up Évasion and also Romance, which happens to be my favourite and the one I'm going to show you today.
What they say:
"ROUGE COCO SHINE makes an irresistible desire for lightness flit over your makeup. With its mischievous touch, it glides over lips with all the charm and freshness of a snapshot. As melt-away as a balm, its lip-embracing texture becomes fluid on contact with the lips and provides a stunning wet effect with natural shine. Deliciously fresh and tender, it delivers an unforgettable sensation of well-being. Lips are enveloped in the incomparable comfort of continuous 8-hour-long hydration thanks to the Hydratender complex, the secret of softness of the ROUGE COCO range."
Romance is a gorgeous bright pink colour. It shows up well on my pigmented lips and the formula is to die for!!! It feels very similar to a balm as it's very moisturising and it just feels plain fantastic on the lips. It glides onto the lips and lasts for a decent amount of time - roughly about 5 hours on me if I don't eat/drink too much before I need a touch up.
The packaging is typical Chanel - simple, black and white, elegant and luxe. LOVE ♥
Swatch:
Here's a FOTD I did a little while ago using Romance:
Products used:
Face:
Clinique Even Better foundation in 01 alabaster *
MAC Select Cover-up concealer in NC20
Face of Australia translucent powder *
Benefit Bella Bamba blush *
Eyes:
Urban Decay Virgin from Naked Palette
Urban Decay Half-Baked from Naked Palette
Face of Australia liquid liner in Black *
GOSH Velvet Touch eye liner in Purple Stain
MAC Dazzle Lash
Lips:
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Romance
Overall: I FREAKING LOVE the Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks. They are a dream to apply and the formula is one of the best I've come across. They just feel sooooooo good on the lips! The colours are beautiful and I feel like a million bucks every time I apply the lipstick. Romance is a gorgeous shade and definitely one for every girl's collection.
Will I repurchase?: I WANT EVERY SHADE. Enough said!! Obviously I can't have every shade so I'm trying to narrow down which ones to ask my mum to bring back for me when she goes to HK in November!! xp
Details: Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipsticks can be purchased from Chanel counters in Myer and David Jones in Australia for $50.
They are available for purchase in the US from www.chanel.com for $32US and in Hong Kong from Chanel counters and stores for $245HK.
Do you own any Rouge Coco Shines? If so what shades do you recommend?

Face of Australia Mineral Lip Shine and FOTD
Hi ladies! How have you all been? I've been so busy with work and stuff so hence the lack of posts. I've been on a real makeup kick lately so I haven't been doing very fancy NOTDs. Don't worry though, nail art will return shortly! I've also been having lots of fun playing with lots of new (to me) Face of Australia products which were kindly sent to me for review. One of these products is the gorgeous Mineral Lip Shine in Fairy Floss.
What they say:
"Face of Australia Mineral Lip Shine combines natural mineral pigments and hydrating ingredients for lasting moisture and colour. The silky formula contains no synthetic dyes and shades range from light sheers to thicker creams."
Fairy Floss is a very pretty pink lipstick that feels more like a balm. They describe it as "the perfect go-between natural lip colour - not sticky or shiny like a lip gloss and not as heavy as a lipstick." It's somewhat sheer giving a nice pinky sheen to your lips, fantastic for when you need a neutral/pinky lip colour. It's super moisturising and feels lovely on! The smell is OK - it's a little sweet but it's not too offending.
It's packaged very sleekly in silver and there's a plastic protective cap included which is something I haven't seen before. Is this to prevent the lippie from drying out or something? I'm more of a lipgloss girl so if anyone could enlighten me that would be great! The Mineral Lip Shines are infused with natural mineral pigments for shine and contain antioxidant vitamins to keep lips soft and hydrated. It also contains natural sun protection filters which is a must for us here in Australia!
A quick FOTD for you using some of the Face of Australia products I'm been trying out:
Products I used:

I am loving the combination of Face of Australia Mineral Therapy Liquid Foundation and Translucent Loose Powder and I've been using it over the last week. It makes my skin look and feel fantastic even though it's far from great. Full review coming up soon! I have so many polishes and products to review but so little time x( I kinda regret taking up that 2nd job.. but the experience will be good for me I think.
Would I repurchase?: I love pink lippies so it's a definite yes! The colour is fantastic and I love that it feels great and is so moisturising.
Face of Australia Mineral Lip Shine can be purchased from Priceline, Kmart, Big W and selected pharmacies Australia wide for $12.95. It is available in 7 different shades.
A big thank you to Face of Australia for sending me the above product to sample! I was sent the above product for my consideration but this in no way influenced my review in any way. As always, my reviews are my 100% honest opinion.

Face of Australia Mineral Lip Shine in Fairy Floss
I am loving the combination of Face of Australia Mineral Therapy Liquid Foundation and Translucent Loose Powder and I've been using it over the last week. It makes my skin look and feel fantastic even though it's far from great. Full review coming up soon! I have so many polishes and products to review but so little time x( I kinda regret taking up that 2nd job.. but the experience will be good for me I think.
Would I repurchase?: I love pink lippies so it's a definite yes! The colour is fantastic and I love that it feels great and is so moisturising.
Face of Australia Mineral Lip Shine can be purchased from Priceline, Kmart, Big W and selected pharmacies Australia wide for $12.95. It is available in 7 different shades.
A big thank you to Face of Australia for sending me the above product to sample! I was sent the above product for my consideration but this in no way influenced my review in any way. As always, my reviews are my 100% honest opinion.
Thanks for looking!
