lust have it - january

January Lust Have It box came in the cutest little floral kind of box, I like that they're changed from the purse/bag looking things.

Masquerade Party + Make Up

I went to a Masquerade Party on the weekend and a good thing about those parties is you get to cover up half your face so you don't focus so much on your make up, but the key to a good mask & a good face is your eye make up. Obviously you don't want to pull everyone away from looking at your mask, but the best bet for your make up is a smokey eye/seductive eye make up.

make up from start to finish.

Since I currently have nothing better to do today, I thought I would show you each little step that I was taught when I learnt make up, starting from the very beginning.

1. Cleanse face.
This is an important step to ensure that you're working with a clean surface. Cleansing should including washing your face with a cleanser, use a scrub 3 times a week and moisturise. Apply a fine layer of non-oily sunscreen as well to protect your face.

That's not me, because I dont look that elegant cleansing my face. :)

lust have it - december

december is long gone i know, so is 2012.. but they sent it towards the end of the month. and then there was more presents. and i just didnt know what to do with myself. and you know im lazy with these posts. ha.

anyway so the december lust have it, came with a candy cane. gone in about 30 seconds flat cause me & my sister shared it.

merry christmas and that

I'd have to say with this year coming to an end, its been a whole different in the beauty industry than I'd hope for. Didnt plan working for two companies that turned out being both completely useless. But I suppose thats what happens when someone who isn't a beauty therapist decides to run a beauty salon. Get your heads checked and maybe a diploma?
All is well though, that last two month working for myself have been fantastic, business is picking up well.. And i know that because compared to Novembers Clients, its 100% more in December. It's only up from here. Well merry christmas to all, and here's to 2013. A better year of beauty!

P.S This is cute.

lust have it - october

Yes I know its november and I'm only doing the lust have it now. Im usually late with this because I try to use the products, which can take some time you know. But in saying that, lust have it was actually quite late with their posting .. not too sure why, was a little annoying. I think i deserve a little discount, but eh. Moving on.

In Octobers box, came Caron Waxaway Ready to Use Sensitive Wax Strips, Mask in a Cup Dehydration Mask, NYX Cosmetics Girls Nail Polish, Avene Clearance Skin and Star&Rose White Bath Fizzer

onto bigger and better things..no more beaux bellus

So, life has thrown a few crazy events at me lately. Needless to say, October has been a big month for me. Had my engagement party on the 13th, was able to drive again on my greens on the 14th, got my full license on the 15th as well as my baby brother Elijah Jacob was born that afternoon. Then, the whole reason of this post.. on the 24th of October, I was put off from my job at Beaux Bellus in Richmond, and I would like to put some harsh words out there about it as I was NOT treated fairly at all.. but I'll just more onto the next step in life which is be.YOU.ty @ home. My new business! All from the comfort of my own home, I will be providing waxing, tinting, tanning & make up. Though the tanning, tinting & make up can always be done from someone elses home. I'm taking bookings from Wednesday and I already have two this week. So its quite exciting. If by any chance you live in the Hawkesbury area in new south wales, australia. Check me out! I'm happy to help any of your needs. My facebook page which was just up and running today is http://facebook.com/beYOUtyathome My pricing is all very affordable because I dont have the costs of having to pay rent.

Secret Weapons to Looking Gorgeous All Day

1. Pick a sponge tip eyeshadow brush.
With the skin getting oily during the day, your eyeshadow tends to crease into the fold, or transfer to your lower lids. to keep your eye make up in place, its not the type of eyeshadow or primer, its the brush. Fluffy synthetic brushes are the most prevalent eyeshadows brushes out there, but they cause shadow to dissipate faster. The sponge tip presses onto your skin instead of swishing the pigment.

2. Wear the right deodorant.
Look for an antiperspirant whose primary active ingredient is aluminum, as acts as a plug in the sweet glands, blocking sweat.

3. Keep a dry shampoo close.
Being inside with a air conditioner will cause your skin to get dry which triggers more oil production. Spray your hair with a little dry shampoo in the middle day to feel refresh and keep that oily shine away.

4. Prime before you apply a lick of make up.
If its one thing all make up artist agree on its 'not to prime is a crime'

baby foot review

Baby foot is a foot care treatment that is based on removing hard callus and the dry skin on the soles of your feet by it peeling off. Afterwards they claim that your feet are to feel like a newborn babies foot.

nail art with a corkboard pin

so with mucking around with my nail polishes the other day, i discovered a clever trick with a simple corkboard pin or you can use any sort of pin. paint your nails a black, i used BYS gloss black then wait for them to dry completely.

sydney internation spa & beauty expo

my feet hurt like hell, but that can only mean one thing.. well it could mean a lot but today it means i've spent hours at the beauty expo and bought way too much stuff. i am still just so excited with everything i've bought.

all dressed and ready to go



HAPPY 20TH or whatever

So you're in your twenties and you've most likely past the stage of teenage pimples everywhere, and your skin is looking pretty good. Well I know mine is a lot better now than it was when I was 15 but how do you look after it from here on it? Before you start getting the wrinkles and have to worry about whether to get botox or not.
