News Flash: New INK!!

This is the Rune Vegvisir the "Norse Compass" i decided to get it tattooed on my left forearm to celebrate my upcoming travel adventures in the UK.
This symbol in the Norse religion/culture helps the bearer navigate through storms, that meaning can be taken in either the literal sense or as i like to think of it, the metaphorical sense.
I believe that this rune will help me work through the hard times in my life and on my life's journey helping me stay true to myself. 
This rune is also special to me as one of my many hobbies is viking re-enactment and a life time passion of mine is and always will be history. 
On the same day i had my finger tattoo fixed as when i had tattooed the original bow in just a plain black line i had stuffed it up so thankfully the Tattoo Artist as Inkantation Tattoo in Deception Bay did a lovely job at fixing it up and giving it a saucy new life with some lipstick red and a cool classic tattoo vibe.

HAIR glorious HAIR

Hello Internet,

I have been thinking about how much my hair has changed this year alone and i decided to show you some photos and maybe talk you through so you guys can be up to date on me and my life :)

I started off by shaving an undercut on my left hand

side and my hair 

colour was auburn

This is after i decided to dye my hair using magenta fudge

Here's a more relaxed look with the bright hair

This is more of a progress photo with the darker hair

This is the night i dyed my hair dark brown

Sally Hansen's Diamond Shine top coat / base coat review

Recently on a visit to the shopping centre with the hubby we came across a discount bin filled with nail polishes etc and I saw this top coat (it can be used as a base and top coat). I have been meaning to invest in a new top coat for a while and I have heard great things from this brand including longer wear and less chipping, it usually retails for around $16.95 AUD in places like Kmart but due to broken packaging this bottle was only $10 AUD yay for bargains.

When I got home I used the product straight away and found a few pros and cons for the product;

Pros:

- Fast drying 

- Easy to open 

- The product increased the length of wear of my polish from 3 days to 7 days (with minor chipping)

- This product is sold in most stores including Kmart, Woolworths and Coles

- Added great shine to my polish 

Cons:

- The brush is long and kind of clumsy

- I found the products consistency kind of runny 

Overall I really enjoyed the product and will be using it every time I paint my nails from now on and definitely recommend you guys try it out if your ever in search of a new top coat/ base coat

Thanks for reading my lovelies

Bye for now xx

My Daily Skin Regime

1. It is really important to wash your face everyday twice if you can once in the morning to prepare your skin for the day and once in the evening to remove the dirt, make-up and grime of the day.

2. Then i Cleanse my face and exfoliate, i like to use Clinique liquid facial soap and i like to make my own exfoliant using a mix of coconut oil and bicarbonate soda and brown sugar.

3.  Toner, Toner, Toner i like to use Witch Hazel as my toner because my skin has a tendency to get red and flushed and the witch hazel helps to strengthen the capillaries in the skin thus reducing the redness

4. My skin also has a bad habit of drying out so i have to moisturise either by using an actual moisturiser or by using a foundation with moisturiser in it.

Well thats it my lovelies

Australis Conceal Correct 4 in 1 Concealer Palette Review

Hello there my lovelies,
I am going to start by explaining how i came across this concealer palette... I was out shopping with hubbo and i told him i was in need of a concealer palette so off we went into Priceline at Kippa ring and i went straight to the lady and asked her what concealer palettes they had and i swear i must have been talking a foreign language as the look she gave me was that of utter confusion. After around a minute a cog clicked in her brain and so the search began and she finally found this product and told me it was the only concealer palette they stocked.... Which is false as i have seen a concealer palette in another Priceline and went back a few days later to let them know for the manager to turn to me and basically call me a liar saying that she knows Australis is the only brand to do a palette at all... well screw you lady...Napoleon Perdis concealer palette & Mac concealer palette.... Check mate :)

Ok story over lets get down to business, I was very impressed with the Australis Concealer Palette overall it has great coverage and the colour correction is perfect for my skin as i usually have a lot of pink tone in my skin.

Pros: 

• Small packaging for easy storage in a make up bag
• Great coverage
• Product smells good
• The palette has a layer for bags under your eyes and a layer for redness and each layer has a regular concealer component 
• At only $12.95 it wont break the bank

Cons:

• It didn't come with an application brush or anything 
• The packaging was hard to open
• It only has one mirror under the first layer and every time i try to use it the layer falls and clips back down which gets real tiring real fast.

Well i hope you enjoyed my review of Australis Conceal Correct concealer palette

Peace out xx

Pantene night miracle essence and Pantene intense split end repairserum review

Hello my lovelies today I am reviewing Pantene night miracle essence and Pantene intense split end repair serum, to do this I am going to split this up into 2 sections for each product of pros and cons...

1.Pantene night miracle essence 

Pros:

Smell

Easily applied

My hair felt so soft next morning

My hair looked healthier

Was on sale for $2 at reject shop Morayfield

Cons:

The lid is shaped weird 

Usually $15 for 90ml

2.Pantene intense split end repair serum 

Pros:

Spreads evenly into hair for easy application

Smells great

You only need a small amount 

When paired with Pantene night miracle essence you are left with really soft healthy hair

Was on sale $2 at the reject shop

Pump action bottle

Cons:

Hard to wash off hands

If you put it on the length of the hair your hair gets that "greasy" look after around 2 days.

Usually $18

Overall I really recommend these products as they really improved my hair texture and general health. I made sure to buy them in bulk whilst they were on sale so that I don't run out. I hope you enjoyed reading my reviews of Pantene night miracle essence  and Pantene intense split end repair serum 

Peace out my lovelies xx

Dove summer glow gradual tanner review

I bought this product from a local Coles and after only 7 days of using the product as directed I have found myself loving the result..

I chose the medium to dark product due to reading reviews online about the product and they all said the light to medium left them with barely a tan and orange/ yellow stomach where the skin is paler ... I was not going to become the newest member of the Simpsons thank you very much haha...

I found that to review this product I had to break it down into 3 categories which are 1. Scent 2. Ease of application and 3. General results....

1. Scent.... Overall dsg (dove summer glow) has a zesty smell which is a pleasant change from the usual yacky self tanner smell.

2. Ease of application... Dsg is very easy to use simply shower, exfoliate and then dry skin and apply... Wash your hands afterwards as I didn't read that part and I now have orange palms. Also wait until your skin is almost dry before getting dressed and it only takes around 5-10mins at most....

3. General results... Dsg gave me even coverage and a definate tan

I hope you enjoyed reading this review...
