Lip Balm Loves!

We are finally starting to see a little sunshine here and the weather is getting a little warmer! yay! Although speed ahead a few months and i'll be wishing for the cold again :)

These little lovelies have been my saviours throughout winter and they all have their own place in my life.



Jack Black Intense Therapy Lipbalm in Natural Mint

This lip balm is my absolute holy grail of lip balms, I keep this baby on my makeup vanity and smoosh some onto my lips when I get ready each morning so my lips are nice and smooth for whichever lipstick i'm wearing for the day. This works a charm and if you can get your hands on it I suggest it x infinity! I purchased mine from Strawberrynet for around $7AUD. At time of writing they have the lemon version available for $9AUD. Otherwise you can try Ebay or a parcel forwarder to get it from Sephora in the USA.

EOS Lip Balm in Summer Fruits

I had always heard great things about this lip balm, mainly from watching YouTube videos from the US. Quite honestly I thought the packaging was interesting and cute so when Addicted 2 Lip Balm (lip balm heaven in a webstore!) had stock I had to get my hands on one. The actual applicator is weird because it's a big sphere but it's actually quite genius because one swipe and you've covered your entire lips. My EOS lip balm stays in my car so I can do a quick swipe of moisturising goodness at the traffic lights and not worry about the people behind me beeping me because I am too busy applying lip balm properly. Plus the smell of this is so yummy! You can order EOS lip balms from Addicted 2 Lip Balm for $6.35AUD or you can buy them in multi packs which work out a bit cheaper.

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm

It's not secret Maybelline is one of my favourite brands and I'm really enjoying their newest lip balm! It's a simple twist up style, nothing fancy but it's a night light formula. When I purchased this the last one they had was in the Smoothing Cherry scent, i'm not one for Cherry scents but this is quite pleasant not too overbearing and not plasticky smelling (I find a lot of Cherry scents smell plasticky, does anyone else?). This little balm stays in my handbag for on the go touch ups! Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm can be purchased from the regular Maybelline stockists and will only set you back $3.95AUD (cheaper then a cup of coffee!)

What has saved your lips this winter?

Beauty Inspiration - Anna Paquin Peachy Cheek Look

Ooooops I have been a little MIA from here recently. I haven't lost my mojo i've just got no time at the moment! The other weekend I actually took squillions (slight exaggeration) of swatch/product/silly photos for upcoming posts and do you think i've had a chance to write about any of them? Nope! They are still sitting on my camera waiting to be edited and uploaded. Poor dears!

I absolutely loved this fresh makeup look I saw on a gossip blog I read last week (Hey do you read any good gossip blogs? not Perez, i'm not really a fan of his). So much so I had to write about it :)

Here is Anna Paquin promoting True Blood, the thing I love about this look is her amazing peachy (but leaning towards the more orange side) of blush! It's all about the cheeks they look wow! Since she is also a fair maiden like myself I wonder if I could also pull this look off?



I'm thinking it could be something like Illamasqua Lover but I think i'll need to go to some swatch detective work. Or I may already have something similar in my collection in MAC Ripe Peach. Either way it looks gorg on Anna!

Is anyone else loving True Blood as much as I am this season? I've read the books and while they are following parts of the storyline a lot of it is different. I get so excited to get home and watch it on a Monday night and I haven't been that way about a show since well... The Vampire Diaries :)

If you haven't already go check out my Scunci Giveaway, i'll be drawing it next week and there aren't a lot of entries so your chances are quite good!!

Bad Hair Day? Scunci Giveaway!

I'm not at all a hair girl, however if you do want to see some lovely hair check out Hair Romance's blog... AH-MAZING!

When the lovely people at Polka Dot PR offered to let me host a Scunci giveaway I was happy too, because these are products I use on a daily basis to keep my hair in check.

Not like this mess*.

*This bad hair did not leave the house, it's just my lovely frizzy curls dried off prior to making them into more of a more manageable mess thanks to my GHD. :)

Since I workout a fair bit during the week I find that I need ponytail holders that in fact will hold my hair into place no matter what exercise I do, I've found the Scunci no damages ponytail holders to be the best because not only do they not snag my hair and cause breakages but they actually keep my ponytail in place... it doesn't move! at all!



So onto the giveaway!
