Lush has cut down on their shower jellies this year, and after loving the now discontinued Needles and Pine, as well as the Christmas Santa’s Belly, I wanted to try another!
Anastasia Beverly Hills lip gloss: St Tropez Review
If you’ve read my previous Anastasia Beverly Hills posts on Metallic Rose or Runway Red, you’ll already know how much I love Anastasia’s gloss formula. The thing I don’t love is that my Metallic Rose gloss broke, so not wanting to be without the shade, I headed into Sephora to pick up a new one. It was in store that I learned the glosses were being discontinued in Sephora Australia, so I decided to pick up another shade – St Tropez.
Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick in Mother (limited edition packaging)
A new lipstick really wasn’t on my radar, but when I saw Sephora was taking an extra 20% off sale items, I couldn’t resist picking up the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick ‘Mother’ in limited edition packaging for $12.40 AUD.

While shopping around for a new Home and Contents Insurance plan, my hubby suggested I get an estimate on how much my valuables cost.

I don’t mind spending 20 minutes blending eyeshadows and creating semi-sophisticated colour gradients – but if I’m honest, most work days I’m too lazy and pressed for time to do that. So I’ve complied a list of my favourite single use eyeshadows that allow me to wipe, lightly blend and I’m good-to-go.
Stila Shimmer and Glow eyeshadow in Boheme
After trying (and loving!) Stila’s Shimmer and Glow in the shade Freedom, I decided I wanted to add another to my collection – something more neutral, but also able to be paired with my glitter and glows – enter Boheme.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea review
My faovurite type of skincare items are the ones that come in spray form. No rubbing, lathering or rinsing required is my kind of (hashtag) lazy-girl routine. After trying (and using up until the last drop) my Mario Badescu Rosewater spray, I wanted to try this one out for something different.
