Hi lovelies! So I thought I'd do a quick post about the beauty bits I have been loving using lately. Whilst there aren't many new bits, they are all things I've been doing everyday recently. 

The Wish List | For The Face #2

It has been a while since I last did a wish list and, being a cosmetic and skincare addict, I have come to lust after many more products. The first is a skincare product and the rest are makeup for the eyes; my favourite and most hoarded products. Sadly, most of the products are hard to come by in Australia or at least at a reasonable price (shipping to this continent can be a massive bitch). 


Aloe Protective Serum by The Body Shop

I saw Estée from Essie Button put this product in her January Favourites a few months back and have wanted to try it since. Currently, I use Hydraluron by Indeed Laboratories as a moisture booster between cleansing and moisturising. I love the concept and it works really effectively but am keen to try other companies attempts. Having not purchased a lot from The Body Shop before I like to look to a self-confessed addict before considering their products. 

Ideally, I've been searching for a slightly more affordable product but I don't think that will ever come to fruition. At under $30 for a product used to sparingly, I think this will enter my bathroom cabinet in the coming weeks as my Hydraluron runs out. 

Travel | Make Up

Hi lovelies! Just a quick one from me today. I am off to Melbourne this morning a weekend escape. I thought I'd give you all a nosey into my travel makeup bag. 

I recently bought this bag in the David Jones sale for a bargainous price. I love the travel print around the bag and the fact that it's water resistant. My last makeup bag was a very battered Clinique freebie which definitely had been worn out. 

Sick of rummaging through a bag for that one pesky product I chose a bag with separate compartments to keep everything organised. I will say thought that this is also the bag's detriment as larger containers are a bit of a hassle to pack. If you're a girl who can't survive without her whole vanity then this is not the bag for you.

I only have a few bits and bobs to take with me, including some bronzer and blush, an pair of eyeshadows and some mascara. And yes there are four lipsticks ...for three days ...I have a problem. Most of it is stuff you'll have seen on the blog before, apart from the new Hourglass concealer I am testing out. 

My favourite part about this bag is that is has a section for brushes. No longer will they get bent out of shape. I'm taking my usual bronzer and blush brushes as well as this super handy EcoTools travel set, which has everything I could ever need for my eyes. 

My tip for packing makeup, always try and do your makeup before you leave with what you've packed, that way you'll know if you've forgotten something. I very nearly forgot my eyebrow pencil. Whoops!
