Ahhh I may have found my perfect moisturizer!

I try out a lot of different skincare products especially when I hear hype about something I like to see for myself if it works for me... honestly 7 times out of 10 it probably doesn't. So when I saw rave reviews about Origins Vitazing Moisturizer I was a tad skeptical. I was so wrong, this is one item I think I will be continually repurchasing until they discontinue it (oh please no!).

So what do Origins say about Vitazing - This multi-tasking moisturizer handles the vital jobs of hydrating, energizing and protecting to maintain skin's momentum all day. Gives skin the refreshing zing of antioxidant-rich Mangosteen. And adds a healthy hit of radiance that mimics the glow you get from a week's vacation. All in 10 seconds max.  Slip it on first thing tomorrow - you'll look like you eat right, sleep tight & don't have a worry in sight.

Ahhh sounds too good to be true right? well I can say when I put this on in the morning my skin looks amazing! glowy and rested would be the words i'd use.

The moisturizer is somewhat tinted and I believe it is one of those tints that adjusts to your skin tone, I don't really believe all that rubbish but it does have a slight colour but for me not enough that I could wear this solely without any other foundation, concealer etc.

As for its moisturizing properties since that's what it's really all about. My skin feels soft, smooth and hydrated. It doesn't leave it oily or anything and the product sinks in quickly so I can apply makeup not long after putting it on.

Overall... I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!

So where do you buy this little tube of amazingness? Well head down to your local Kit Cosmetics and you'll pick one up for $44. Hey you might even see me there picking up another tube (my current one is dangerously low)

Not Loving... Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

I hate being a Negative Nellie but sometimes it just has to be said. Keep in mind this is how a product has worked or in this case not worked for me and my skin and conditions are probabaly different to yours, if they are the same woo hoo we're special :)

I must admit, I have a little bit of an obsession with primers. I totes blame that Napoleon Perdis reality show where every episode he rattled on about it being a crime not to prime. I am forever looking for that one primer to make my makeup last, pores look invisible and my skin to look ultra amazing! I must give a shoutout though to my homie Benefit PoreFessional for being THE BEST product for making my pores invisible.



I'd heard wonderful things about Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, it ticked all the boxes and won a shitload of awards so of course being the beauty gal I am I needed to get it! Well.... sometimes you just can't trust awards (Kanye, please step in if you need to...). I tried everything in my power to like this product and I tried using it multiple ways but it just didn't work.

I wish I had something nice to say about this primer because i'm a glass half full kinda gal, actually the packaging is nice and I like pumps on products so it gets a tick there. Everything else about it....fail i'm afraid! On my skin it felt super oily (and I have dry combo skin for those interested), did nothing for my pores, accentuated all my dry spots (and I moisturise like a mofo so they weren't even THAT bad), makeup didn't last and worst of all it gave me major breakouts, i'm talking alien pimples!

Has anyone had any luck with this primer? with all the awards and rave reviews i'm probabaly in the minority with not liking it. I've got a couple of other primers i'm trying out at the moment but I really want to get my hands on the Stila one with all the crazy colours in it! It looks awesome!

If you do want to pick it up, Smashbox Photo Finish Primer retails for $52.95AUD @ Kit Cosmetics

NOTD – Kit Cosmetics – Act Out

Another day, another nail colour :)


This is the one I showed in my YouTube video, it's from the new Harlequin Dreams collection from Kit Cosmetics. The colour I got is called Act Out


I was a little hesitant to spend $14.95 on this polish but i'm glad I did. The formula is great but the colour is amazing!


Here is a picture of the new Harlequin Dreams collection, click the name for a link direct to it.





Here are the pictures of Act Out on my nails
