YSL Spring Look Collection for 2014 - Rosy Blush & Gloss in No 19 - Swatches & Review

Spring collections always hit a soft spot in me for pale pinks, peaches and lilac purples. This year I have been very conscientious with my purchases and have only sprung for products that I really, really needed desired for my makeup collection.

I had the pleasure of seeing these beauties in person before purchasing which doesn't often happen being in Australia I usually jump on something soon after it's release online as it takes months to hit our shores. God forbid I miss out, ha!

My cure for Mondayitis - la première partie (Part One).

I am not a fan of Mondays, to say the least... In fact it's almost impossible to drag myself out of bed on the best of days, add in two days of sleep ins and long relaxing nights with friends and family I find myself resentful, irritated and bitter - a real Monday Bigot.

As a self reflecting human I have decided I need something to look forward to, a Monday morning treat if you will. So I've decided to put together a few of my favourite little inspirational images that I am constantly finding on Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram (you can follow me on all 3 by clicking on the embedded links, FYI) and compiling a weekly post to pass on a bit of encouragement from my Monday to yours. If you have any of Monday related tips feel free to share in the comments, sometimes we all need a dose of inspiration to keep calm and carry on.

Happy Halloween - The Walking Dead Goes to Kindergarten

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween wraps fear in innocence,

As though it were a slightly sour sweet.

Let terror, then, be turned into a treat...

Product's I've Used Up / Empties: Part One FOUNDATIONS

PART ONE: FOUNDATIONS

Over the past few months I've been on a mission to use up old beauty/make-up products. I can't explain the ridiculous sense of satisfaction and achievement I feel when scraping the last morsels of product from it's packaging. It's a small gratification I have almost become addicted to, and as a result go totally overboard on application - using up things like a mad woman. Consequently I've racked up quite a few empties to share with you, too many for one post. I've broken it up into a few categories, the first being foundations. Enjoy and if you have any empties posts of your own be sure to link them below - empties are my favourite kind of posts to read.
