I hope that those of you who celebrate Christmas enjoyed spending time with family and friends! Today, for my last blog post of the year, I thought that I would share all of my favourite things from 2017, of which, there happens to be 17! Overall, I think I will look back at 2017 with fond memories. A lot of good things happened to me this year, I got a job that I love, I traveled a lot, and spent lots of time with friends and family. I hope that you enjoy reading all about the things that helped make this year something special.
Today is a big day for Australians, at 10AM AEST, the results of the Same-Sex Marriage Survey were announced with 61.6% of participating Australians voting YES! We’ve been told that we will have a new legislation regarding marriage before Christmas and it is a very exciting time. To celebrate, I’ve chosen to talk about my favourite colourful eyeshadow palettes, because you’re definitely going to need one now hahaha.
Yesterday and today, in the Southern Hemisphere, we are celebrating Ostara, the beginning of Spring! I’m so excited to finally be celebrating what I’m sure will be my most favourite of the pagan holidays. Today, I’m going to share a few ways to celebrate this period of the year and share an interesting fact about the holiday! I hope that you enjoy!
I haven’t done a wishlist post in a little while and I thought that now that I have my regular post schedule back, I can finally add this post back into my regular post schedule without it taking from new posts! In this wishlist, I’ll be featuring some beauty and collectible products! I hope that you enjoy!
Today I’m going to be giving a little review on the Kat Von D Lock It Foundation. This foundation has been out for a while and has some pretty wild claims so I wanted to put it to the test and give you all my opinion on it!
Today’s recap is of my makeup looks for Goddess Week! I have done many themed weeks in past challenges and for special occasions on my blog so it was a no brainer to include another themed week during this challenge! For this week, I decided to do 7 looks for my favourite Greek Goddesses. I hope that you enjoy!
This month has been absolutely incredible. I started my new job (and it is the best), I went to Sydney, and I’ve been happier than I’ve been in a long time! I’ve also been trying quite a few new products so I’ve got quite a lot to talk about this month! I hope that you enjoy the post!
Today and tomorrow, people across the Southern Hemisphere are celebrating Lughnasadh (Lammas), which celebrates the first harvest after the full moon! To celebrate, I’ve created a little MOTD and I’m also sharing something extra special at the end of the post! I really hope that you enjoy this excuse to celebrate a seasonal holiday!
Products Used:
Kat Von D Monarch Palette
Sleek Ultra Mattes V1 – yellow shade
ELF Baked Highlight in Moonlight Pearls
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm
Physicians Formula Bronze Booster
NYX Blush in Taupe
Milani Rose Powder Blush in Romantic Rose
I really wanted to use warm shades but specifically yellow because this time of year is all about wheat and Lammas essentially means ‘bread day’. In simpler times, by the time Lammas came around, people were really rationing what they had left of their food and Lughnasadh was a big feast time because it was the first harvest. The holiday represents abundance and the last rays of warm sun. We still have a bit of warm sun to go in Australia but definitely by Mabon, we will be feeling the cool weather! To celebrate the season, I did a bit of shopping and you bet I filmed some of it haha. I haven’t filmed anything in ages and this was really terrible so please excuse me but if you’d like to just hear my voice and see where I live, this will be the perfect video for you hahaha.
Today I wanted to share a fun little post because I really love palettes and I really love tags haha. This has been a really popular tag for years and today I wanted to share my answers! I hope that you enjoy!
