ADDICTED TO BLUSH TAG

Blushes are a weakness of mine. They can totally transform a look, bring so much light to the face and, let's face it, but they're just beautiful. I've found myself adding quite a few to my collection lately so I thought it was a great time to finally do the Addicted to Blush tag. This tag was created by Kat from Kitsch Snitch and I think it's a great one. 

I think I was tagged in it quite some time ago but I can't remember who tagged me and, either way, I'm ready to do it so let's get into it! 

Uriage Bariederm Soothing Repair Barrier Lip Balm* Review

It's no secret that lip balms are my jam. I have far too many in my collection and I'm always wanting to test new ones so I was more than excited to see the Uriage Bariederm Soothing Repair Barrier Lip Balm* in amongst the goodies we received at the Bloggers United Event I attended last month.  

This product has lived in my handbag pretty much ever since, so it's finally time I share my thoughts on this French beauty! 

BRAND FOCUS: NARS

There are so many incredible make up brands on the market (am I right?) so I decided to create a new series where we take a look at a new brand in more detail. I'm starting with an all round favourite, NARS.

Never have I met someone that doesn't like NARS. Sure, they might not like a specific product, but there's something really redeeming about the brand as a whole. The brand is great. Their packaging is oh-so-classy and the products are of a great quality. Sure, the price point could be better but, hey, it's worth it! 

Adore Beauty Skincare and Haircare Haul

I've made no secret of my love for Adore Beauty, an online Australian retailer, in the past. Not only do they stock an amazing range of brands (Alpha-H, Benefit, Clarins, Laura Mercier, Napoleon Perdis, and Shu Uemura, just to name a few) they're always running amazing promotion and, best of all, they allow you to 'stack' their discount and coupon codes, making for some wicked savings!

With my favourite shampoo and conditioner costing a bomb, I was waiting for the right moment to stock up and that moment came about recently when they had a fantastic haircare gift with purchase. 

Emptying the Trash // July - August 2015

I'll admit it, I was dreading this post because I thought that two months of beauty empties would be a butt load but, to my pleasure, I don't have too much to share with you all today. As always, I have a combination of make up, body care, hair care and skincare, so let's get into what I've used up! 

With that said, I still do have quite a few products to talk about, as always, so I'll link you to any reviews I've written and I'll only talk about the products I've not mentioned before. I'll still let you know whether I'll repurchase it or not though, because we all know that's what we're here for.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Forever Eau de Parfum* Review

I'm definitely a perfume girl. I love gifting them, I love wearing them and, of course, I love collecting them. The Marc Jacobs Daisy line is one that's never appealed to me (though I love Marc Jacobs' Honey eau de parfum), I've tried a few and not really like them so I haven't really paid any attention to new releases from the line.

I was recently offered the opportunity to test the newest addition to the Daisy family, Daisy Dream Forever*, and I decided to take the plunge. I've been wearing this scent non-stop since it arrived a few weeks ago and I'm thrilled to report that I've finally found my Daisy fragrance! 

Monthly Beauty Favourites | July - August, 2015

July and August were really kind to me. As I mentioned, it was my birthday in July and I had a really nice day with friends and family. I also celebrated later in the month with all of my favourite people and I couldn't ask for much more than that. Not only that, but the first ever Blogger United event was Perth in Perth in mid-August. As I mentioned in this life update post, I was part of the team who organised the event which explains why I've been so MIA. The event is over and I'm back with a vengeance but, if you want to know more about the day, check out my posts about the day here and here.

Over the past two months I've made some beauty discoveries, old and new. I pulled a few bits out of my own collection and I also have some
