How My Hair Was Ruined

As you know, I don't normally write posts about negative things, products I didn't like, etc. because I like to try and keep the focus on positive things, and things I DO like and recommend. However, my recent experience was so terrible, I feel the need to share it. Maybe it'll be useful so you know what to look out for so the same thing doesn't happen to you. (Please excuse the low-quality images, they were taken as proof and were not originally intended to be published). 

HOW TO: INSTA FOOD

Food photos are serious business people. You don't just take a photo. You make art. I didn't get that burger because I was HUNGRY. That was for my ART. But don't worry, I can teach you (but I'll have to charge). Special thanks to Daniela, friend, food stylist and fellow shame-free 'grammer. 

MOTD + Book Review: Scrappy Little Nobody

Happy New Year and welcome to my first blog post of 2018! Isn't that crazy?! Hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the new year. I thought I'd do a little combined post today. A quick MOTD and a little book review - because if you're anything like me, your attention span isn't that great during the holidays, and you wouldn't feel like reading a small novel about it anyway. 

Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation

The much anticipated and hyped Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation* has finally hit Farmers! And how perfect is that timing with the holiday season coming up where we can expect photos galore?! This foundation basically sounds like a miracle worker. It has been formulated with light-diffusing particles to prevent white cast in photos (you know how sometimes your foundation looks perfect in person, but then your skin looks oddly white in photos? This is meant to stop that). Basically, this foundation is meant to make your skin look perfect, without the need for a filter! 

Australis KPOP Collection

Ok so straight away I think we can all agree that this collection wins for being the cutest we've seen this year! It's also cool to see more affordable brands coming out with fun collections like this. So, is it all frosting and no cupcake? (who knows what movie that was from?). I have put the collection to the test and have all of my thoughts and swatches for you below!

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Light Therapy Acne Mask

Thanks to Neutrogena, I have been able to test out their new Visibly Clear Light Therapy Acne Mask*  (RRP $79.99) over the past month. Light therapy is often used to treat acne but is typically done in clinics by dermatologists making it less accessible, more expensive and less convenient for the average person to do. This product uses the same kind of technology used by professionals, but at a lower level so that mild to moderate acne sufferers can take advantage of light therapy at home, easily and without the expense of seeing a dermatologist.
