I picked up (from top to bottom) Jaded & Girl On Sa-Phire.

The lipsticks in this collection appear to have the same formula as the original line of Velourlips, being thin, buildable, and dries to a firm matte. The smell of them are still DEVINE and smell of lollies and grapes. I love the idea also of the white lipstick in this range...as it was created to not only be able to be worn on its own (if you're daring enough), but also to mix in with shades to make your own custom colour.

Currently typing this one week into June already....are you kidding me? Before you know it, we will be writing up our Christmas wishlists (that's not a terribly bad thing though). May was a month of finding myself again, figuring out my passions, and working towards what I want in life. It was also a time where the cooler months started reflecting in my makeup with darker shades on the lip, and dewy skin to combat the dryness.


Chi Chi Brow Pomade is Black Brown


For months and months I have been stalking multiple Targets in my area for these brow pomades, but i never had any luck. Even though I was nervous about buying it online without looking at the colours, I caved and got the darkest colour on the website and its a perfect match for my hair ( I am usually 9/10 a black haired gal). Previous to this I was using my Australis Brow Kit, and I loved the wax product, but I felt like by setting it with the powder, my eyebrows were turning into rectangular boxes...NOT attractive on me. This brow pomade CHANGED the way I do my brows, and in that essence changed my life (melodramatic, i know...it's what I do best). You only need the TINIEST amount of product for each brow, and I mean TINY...just pop the tip of the brush in gently and that's practically all you need. My eyebrows come out sharp and on point (that is if I am not half asleep when I am doing them in the morning) and I will never do my brows any other way!


Models Prefer Contour Brush

Another product that has brought light into my life is this brush I picked up aaaages ago in the Priceline 40% off sale. This brush is ALWAYS sold out online, so I managed to find it in my local store and I grabbed the last one off the shelf. Its dense enough to create that sharp cut contour, but is also fluffy and soft that it aids in blending. Fairly cheap too in comparison to the Nars Ita Brush.


Carli Bybel Palette


Even though my current kick is the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette (check out my review HERE if you are interested!), in the month of May, this was my GO-TO palette both for eyeshadow, but also for highlighting. The purple/mauvey shades are perfect for this time of year, and not to mention the quality of the shadows for how cheap they are!

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara: 



I picked this up quite some time ago now as it was highly highly hyped and I had low expectations for it, as I just assumed like most over-hyped products, I wouldn't enjoy it. FALSE. Not just false in the fact it looks like I'm wearing false lashes, but I LOVED it. It's perfect for everyday, while still making your lashes look dark, long and fluttery.



Troye Sivan 

I have been addicted to Troye's music this passed month, especially his old old stuff ! Gasoline gives me all the nostalgic feels. And Youth makes me wanna dance around in my underwear whilst giving the neighbours a free karaoke experience. His performance at this years Billboard Music Awards was so electrifying!


Short but sweet for the month of may. June is already turning out to be fulllllll of favourites so stay tuned for next months edit !

x Tee

First of all, lets get one thing straight. I am NOT a hoarder! I promise :) However I have been holding onto a box worth of products for at least 6 months now, in the hopes of one day getting around to show you the things I have used up. I have quite a lot, so I have separaed this into two different posts. This being the first, will be skincare, haircare, body wash etc. The next part will be all about the makeup, as its very rare for me to use up the amount of makeup I currently have piled up, so a whole post will be dedicated to that :) Lets dive in before this becomes longer than you could imagine.

1. Schwarzkopf Extra Care Liquid Silk Shampoo: This was a meh product for me. I didn't notice any change with my hair, however it did come in handy when cleaning some makeup brushes.
Repurchase:Probably won't repurchase.

2. Tresemme' Salon Silk Shampoo: This was a decent shampoo (the conditioner is one of my all time favourites!) and had an amazing scent of Watermelon.
Repurchase: I would repurchase just purely cause of the scent.

3. Schwarzkopf Extra Care Ultimate Colour Conditioner: Again didn't really notice a huge difference in the quality or colour longevity of my hair.
Repurchase: Most likely will not repurchase.

4. Schwarzkopf Extra Care Marrakesh Oil & Coconut Shampoo: Probably the only one out of the range (that I have tried) that I feel does something for my hair. Especially the conditioner, which is still chilling in my shower right now. My hair feels soft and luscious.
Repurchase: Will most likely repurchase

(have you noticed that I am super picky with shampoos? I try out a lot in the aim of finding one that is truly amazing). 




5. Original Source Lime Shower Gel: This is ONE of my all time favourite body washes. It smells like a heavenly mix of lime & coca cola lollies (weird explanation, I know right).
Repurchase:Will always repurchase this as it not only smells amazing, it is also kind on the earth and kind on your wallet too!

6. Lux Passionate Spell Shower Gel: Another beautiful smelling body wash! I find this one to be extra nice as the scent actually settles into your skin, and you end up smelling nice even hours after showering. It smells kind of like a musky mens fragrance mixed with Orange and Passionfruit.
Repurchase: Will always repurchase.

7. Palmolive Body Butter Exfoliating Wash in Peppermint Crush: I'm not sure if you have Minties wherever you are reading this from ( I know its a delicacy in Australian Culture ;) ) but this body wash literally smells like someone crushed up a thousand minties and lathered them in cream.
Repurchase: Will always repurchase this, especially when its Christmas, as i find peppermint a very festive smell.



18. Bio-Oil: This product I have to just straight-up chuck out. It is years and years old (think circa 2009). I can't even give you my thoughts on this, other than I am such a wasteful person (or atleast teenage me was).
Repurchase: Probably not.

19. Lush Ultrabland Facial Cleanser: I know this is a cult product, but I just didn't like it. I am actually chucking this out as it has expired months ago so there is still quite a bit product left in it, however I can safely say this was not for me. It was incredibly hard to wash off the skin, and even when you use a hot damp cloth to remove it, my face felt like it still had residue left on it. No thanks.
Repurchase: Nope nope nope

20. Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub: Okay, I know right now I am coming across as the most wasteful person alive, but this is another product I haven't used up fully before its expiration. It was darn good! but the bubblegum flavour tasted a bit like soap.
 Repurchase:I will probably repurchase at christmas time when they bring out the christmas edition :)

First off, lets talk packaging. The first thing you notice is the smell! The scent of peach is so vibrant, that you can smell it even when the palette was in its original box. I have a guilty pleasure when it comes to things with scents, so this was a definite plus for me!

The palette is ombre'd from a pale peach to a coral peach, with little indentations of peaches on the front. Inside there is an ample mirror, with the most adorable little cartoon peach. There are 18 shades, which i believe is more than what you get in their Chocolate Bar Palettes. The colours are so universal, that I definitely can see why the brand says its suitable for all skin types. It is also universal in the sense that this is not only a palette you can ROCK in the summer time, with the peachy vibes and golden glow, but its also catering to the cooler months, with the bronze shades and the deep purples.

I feel like I haven't done a beauty (or beau-tee..get it...my nickname is tee..no? okay..carry on!) post in forever! Which is funny because besides health & fitness (and music, and books, and food) beauty is a massive passion of mine! I love how makeup makes me feel, and I love experimenting with new looks.

A while ago now, I picked up this palette for 14 Dollars (CHEAP RIGHT!) as I saw Crystal Conte rave about it so much so that I was determined to get my hands on it!


The packaging is adorable. It is so simple, yet elegant at the same time. I love the cushion detailing, and the little penguin that Carli is so known for.


There are SO many looks you can create with this palette (I mean, just go over to Crystal's channel, she has done many different looks using this palette!) which really means you are getting your moneys worth with this gem! You could create a smokey eye with the dark colours, a mauvey inspired eye perfect for winter, or a subtle champagne eye for everyday wear.

Recently I have been inspired by many influential people out there including Rachael Kable & Marissa Lace to take steps towards better my self-care, self-love and also my mindfulness. If you weren't aware, I have been a depression & anxiety sufferer since 2011 (with a relapse in 2015), as well as experiencing adrenal fatigue and being diagnosed with Hashimotos Disease. All of these combined have left me an anxious wreck, and instead of upping my medication, I want to search for the answers and cure within myself. In preparation of this journey, I would like to share with you a few tips for self-care that I have been slowly introducing into my routine.
