Makeup I can't live without!
Once I discovered SHEGLAM liquid blush, I knew I had found the holy grail of blushes! The ones with a little shimmer are especially amazing, its just enough, not too much…! In the same range they also do highlighters and Bronzers…! and everything ble...
SHEGLAM Blush
I have gone through so many tubes of this eyeliner now! IMHO this brand is such a secret gem. The eyeliner really is waterproof, I can even wear it running in the RAIN and it does not budge! And the whole range is super budget friendly
Essence Liquid Ink Eyeliner Waterproof 01 - Eyes
Another essence product I cannot do without! This gives a super natural look, and my test is- can it stay on while I am running in the rain?! YES it can! :D
Essence All Eyes On Me Multi-effect Mascara Review
I tend to try different foundations a lot and this is one that I always keep coming back to. It feels so lightweight on, and doesn't sink into fine lines! I recently used it to do a young friends ball makeup and she looked amazing. You can build the ...
Foundation Makeup: Light to Full Coverage, SPF & More
I have all 3 eyeliners and all 3 liquid eyeshadow shades in this range! Plus spares in the bathroom cabinet..! Its THAT GOOD, and the eyeliner passes my “can I run in the rain?” test! In fact I often use this on my races as I can co-ordinate the colo...

Another race day favourite because it just doesnt budge! And an everyday favourite as well! The colour range is next level, and it wears so evenly- you do not get left with that ring of lippy on the outer edges of your mouth as soon as you have a cof...
Maybelline Superstay Ink Crayon - Lips
Have I lost count of how many colorpop palettes I own? Yess.. maybe! Do I need more? Absolutely! They are the BEST, and pigment/ texture/ last-ability is top notch! Plus they are priced so well and often have free shipping if you spend over a certain...
Shadow Palettes
This powder is such a staple in my kit. It not only sets your makeup, but give a beautiful glow. You can build it up a little to be more like a highlighter, if you prefer, but it works amazingly with a light touch as well. A palette also lasts foreve...
Ambient® Lighting Palette - Hourglass
I am a virgo, I am obsessed with green.. I had to have this palette! It is amazing, as with all the SheGlam palettes, the colours are so pigmented and last all day!
Virtuous Virgo Palette
This is in my shopping cart right now!
HARRY POTTER X SHEGLAM
This is one of my go-to palettes that I reach for so consistently! I also use it a lot with other warmer toned shadows as a transition. The white sparkly shade is amazing with ANY look, on the inner corners of the eyes!
SHEGLAM Corpse Bride | SHEGLAM Moonlight Eyeshadow Palette
I always reach for this bronzer, it is so flawless and natural, and it lasts for ages… a little goes a long way! It also comes with a little brush which is perfect for if you are on the go and need to take it with you for a touch up!
Hoola Matte Bronzer
OBSESSED! Since this turned up, I have not used any other highlighter. It is so smooth and easy to apply, blends perfectly, and gives you an amazing glow! I will be ordering more in the other shades!
Highlighter Makeup Pen
If you need a sparkly top layer for your eyeshadow- or to use alone- look no further than this! amazing price! amazing product!

A good sunscreen is my holy grail of beauty products, I think its important to block out any damage before it can start happening! How stoked was I to find Skinnies Sunscreen. There is no water in this sunscreen gel, which means that your product isn...

Anxiety Ease Essential Oil Blend 10 mL
I have been taking a Vitamin E capsule every night before bed for the last… uhh.. LOTS of years. Maybe 15 years or so? I often get comments that I look much younger than I am. I 100% attribute that to the Vit E Plus using sunscreen EVERY day!

Fragrances I am obsessed with!
Alien was the second Mugler fragrance I had to get (the first was Angel!) and its so distinctive. It lasts all day, its also perfect for night (although I have a habit of wearing night perfumes during the day as well!) You will get plenty of comments...
ALIEN Perfume
I first became obsessed with this fragrance in around 2016 and I am now on my third bottle since then! I love it for day, it has a heady richness to it, and I always get comments. It lasts on me all day, and all night, right through till the next day...
Angel by Thierry Mugler 50ml EDP (Refillable)
If this fragrance ever stops being sold, I will be destroyed! I discovered this one random day when walking through a department store, sprayed it on myself, then walked around for the next few hours being IN LOVE with it. I went back and bought it. ...
État libre d'Orange
Another fragrance company that I cannot get enough of. Sadly the rose fragrance that I have is almost finished and isn't being made anymore, but I cannot wait to try this new rose fragrance from the Different Company, I know it will be incredible!
Kâshân Rose The Different Company for women and men
I discovered this fragrance by accident when I was at Mecca shopping for a friends birthday present! I could not stop obsessing about it for the rest of the day, as after spraying a little of the tester on, it lasted and lasted despite being an EDT, ...
Shop Korres - Fragrance | MECCA
Enchanting fragrances, and LOVE the bottle designs! I have a few Anna Sui perfumes now and they're truly collector pieces!
Anna Sui Fragrances
I LOVE this whole range (poison original was my first ever grown up fragrance) but this version brings a youthful playfulness to the scent which I think is awesome. Very wearable any time of the day or night!

This perfume will get you remembered. Its amazing.. so unique, so ladylike, so intoxicating.. all at the same time! Also, it lasts and lasts….!
Coco Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum Spray - Chanel - Strawberrynet
pssst…!! This apparently smells very similar to Baccarat Rouge 540! I have never owned that particular one, but I do have Bella Night and it is GORGEOUS. I normally wear it during the day, its now a perfume I will always have in my repertoire!
Night Perfume | Sephora
Because I am obsessed with rose fragrances, I had to have this Tom Ford one. For me its a definite special occasion perfume, and yes its rosey.. but in a darker more mysterious way, quite different to a lot of my other rose themed fragrances!
TOM FORD Cafe Rose Eau de Parfum Fragrance - Sephora
One of my secret perfume traits is that sometimes I like to wear mens fragrances. People often ask me what I am wearing when I do this, especially if the fragrance is borderline unisex, which I think this one is. Wear it for an energy burst or for an...
Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Eau De Toilette Spray 50ml/1.7oz
so.. I have both the taylor swift wonderstruck, plus the enchanted version! This is such a lovely day fragrance. Very girly and clean smelling. I ALWAYS get compliments without fail. It lasts all day as well!
Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Eau De Parfum Spray ... - Strawberrynet
I am on my second bottle of this fragrance, its so lovely. Perfect for the weekend, it also has a bit of mystery to it. Also gives me slightly hippy girl vibes, so I like to wear it when I'm having a day at the markets, or chilling with friends :)
Indian Night Jasmine | Range | The Body Shop®
This perfume makes me feel very professional and grown up when I wear it, so I tend to save it for when I have meetings, or seeing my parents! Its not an every day perfume for me, but I really value its spot in my library!
Issey Miyake Pleats Please L'Eau Eau De Toilette Spray 50ml/1.6oz
In 2017 I went on holiday to Melbourne and I bought this perfume at the art gallery shop. It was one of those times where you spray a tester and then you have the “I MUST HAVE THAT!!!!" reaction. I always loved tuberose fragrance, its a little bit qu...

Lip stains- Need their own catagory!
LIke goal to find the perfect long lasting lip stain! These ones are moisturising and do leave a subtle stain once they wear. If you don't eat or drink it lasts longer! And it does wear evenly, which is nice!
Fresh Kiss Glossy Lip Stain | ColourPop
I completely ADORE this lip stain! It requires very little product to get a good hit of colour- and really does last and last! Buildable as well, depending on how deep you want the stain.
Clarins Water Lip Stain, 01 Rose Water 7ml/0.2oz | Strawberrynet NZ
This brand used to do the most incredible lip stains.. I bought about 5 at once when I first discovered them, now I can't seem to find them anymore! If anyone knows where to get them, drop me a note!
Peripera - HIKOCO
this lip tint lasts and lasts and lasssstsssss! It wears so evenly and even has a yummy taste! So easy to apply too! The nib feels like an actual felt tip pen, it isnt runny, so the colour is very buildable if you keep layering it. Love the shades, t...
SHEGLAM LIP TINT - Shein
I am adding these to lip tints as well, as I feel like they ARE! I reach for these when I know i am going to be eating/drinking .. kissing..!?! .. and need to know my colour wont move. So many great colours too!
