Lately I’ve been reflecting on things relating to both my blog and beauty blogging in general. Slowly but surely, I’m learning more about the process and the things that I need to improve on. So, last night, just for fun, I made a list of five beauty blogging commandments to follow.

Tonight we’re going to take a look at another Etude House product from my recent Pink Bird Box. Dear My Blooming Eyes palette in Heart Fluttering Pink (PK001), enter stage left! This palette marked my first ever experience with one of Etude House’s notoriously glittery eye shadows. How did we get on together (…why am I trying to make it sentient? )? Read on to find out…

  The other day, I wrote an article introducing BB Cream’s up-and-coming younger sister, CC Cream. Now, I’m going to show you Etude House’s contribution to the already blossoming market of ‘colour correcting’ creams. I apologise in advance for the quality of the pictures – it absolutely did not want to be photographed and I’m still getting used to my new camera.

(Images believed to be press/promo images. If any of these are your work, please let me know and I’ll remove them) BB, CC, DD? Feeling confused yet? Don’t worry, I’ve saved you some time and done the research to get us both up to speed with the latest craze in beauty and skin-care: CC cream (just in time for my upcoming review of Etude House’s Correct & Care CC cream)  …

Many of you are probably already familiar with Priceline’s Beauty Essentials line. I am a HUGE fan of the Beauty Essentials eye-shadow palettes, myself. So, when I saw that they’d launched a budget friendly (nothing over $15) skin-care line, I was thrilled. A couple of months ago, I picked up the Beauty Essentials Youthful Anti-Age Night Cream ($4.99) and the Beauty Essentials Smooth Day Cream with SPF ($4.99) to try for myself. Tonight, I’ll be reviewing the former. (Sorry, picture taken indoors + at night)

Better late than never, right?

One of the first things I did when I first got an android phone was scour GooglePlay for make-up and nail apps. Surely I can’t be the only one.  However, the world of nail apps is a vast and confusing one, riddled with dodgy, unusable apps that just want to steal your details. I’ve saved you some time and checked out six interesting and free nail apps that every nail junkie could probably waste some time benefit from…

A couple of days ago I reviewed the gorgeous Arbonne Runway Rouge lipstick. Today, I’m going to show you Arbonne’s answer to dark circles. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that under-eye circles are the bane of my existence. I perpetually look like I’ve been punched in the face. I’ve tried various products to ease them, but nothing’s completely gotten rid of them. So, I have to make do with hiding them. Did the Arbonne Crème Concealer (light) do the trick? Read on to find out.

I’ve always been fairly lucky in that I’ve never gotten full-blown acne. However, I am prone to breaking out around my chin and forehead, particularly during ‘that time of the month’.  So, when I found out the Etude House Pink Birds  were going to be trialling the AC Clinic Intense Line, I was even more excited than if I’d been shown another über cute make-up line. Weird for me, huh? To be honest, of all the Japanese and Korean skin-care products I’ve tried, I’ve never thought to look to Asia for acne care. After spending the month testing our the AC Clinic Intense line, I can say that I’ve totally been missing out. Whether you suffer from severe acne or just the occasional blemish, I think you’ll want to check this out…

When I was a little girl, I always thought descriptions of Snow White were beautiful. Pale skin, dark hair, and deep red lips. Maybe that explains why I dyed my hair black almost nine years ago. Or why I avoid the sun like a vampire.  Or possibly why I’m addicted to dramatically red lipstick. While I’ve found a love for purples, pinks and oranges, red lipstick will still always be my go-to for a dramatic, glamorous look.  So, when Brandnewsolutions.com.au asked me whether I’d be interested in trying out some Arbonne products, of course I was immediately drawn to their Runway Rouge (Rouge Chic) lipstick.
