When it comes to makeup, I think I’m pretty blunt about the fact that I don’t have killer makeup skills. I like to keep it minimal, and my go to style is more of a no makeup makeup look than when I’m going for a full face look. I only use a few products to give me a look that is polished but not overdone – I switch out my full coverage foundation for a tinted moisturiser, swap my lipstick for a more subtle one and just generally tone everything down a bit.
A few people have been asking about how I get my skin to look so good, so I thought I’d give you a rundown on the skincare routine I’ve been using this winter. It changed my skin from dry and flaky to smooth and hydrated – my skin has never looked this good! All of these products are cruelty free, and most of them are made in New Zealand – hurray! View Post
All my adult life, I’ve wondered how the heck women get that gorgeous smooth look to their skin when they apply makeup. You know, the kind that looks like you’ve had your makeup done by a team of professionals. I’ve tried countless foundations (easily more than 50) in an attempt to find the holy grail that would give me this magical angel skin. I’ve applied it with brushes, used a sponge, tried my fingertips, and do you think I could master it? No freaking chance! Until now – now I have mastered the secret to flawless foundation! View Post
When I started my cruelty free journey, one of the things I really struggled with was deodorant. I used Nivea roll on deodorant for a long time, and really liked the way it performed but hated the fact that Nivea is not cruelty free so I began my search for a suitable replacement. I’ve tried powders, sprays, pastes and roll ons; the good, the bad and the ugly. I’ve finally found two deodorants that I really like, so I thought a post about cruelty free deodorant might be helpful. View Post

Okay, let’s talk nail extensions. Remember how I got almond nail extensions recently? Well, I got Penny to do one hand with gel and the other with acrylic so that I could give them a fair comparison. All in the name of blog research, you know? View Post
