TOPSHOP STUDENT LATES NIGHT

Topshop has been the talk of the town ever since the first store in Brisbane opened a few months back and I always find myself wandering in there whenever I stop into the city. Put all of that together with a DJ, beverages, popcorn and a whopping 20% off and you have yourself an unbeatable combination. Pictured above are fellow QLD bloggers Katie (Steal The Spotlight) and Maddie (Maddie's Lifestyle) who I attended the event with and turned it into a mini Youtubers get together and grabbed a few bargains.

 

Enjoy some pictures from the night.

REVIEW: MAKE UP FOREVER HD MICROFINISH POWDER

I always feel as though a good setting powder pulls together a look better than any other product and so I jumped at the chance to try the Make Up For Ever High Definition Powder. I have heard such fantastic things about the brand Make Up For Ever and particularly amazing things about their face products. I have tried the HD Foundation a couple of times in the past and haven't had the most positive experience as it was the wrong colour and made my face tingle a bit but I am happy to say that this time around with the HD Powder has been much more positive.

REVIEW: MAC PEACHES BLUSH

There's no denying my obsession with coral; everything from dresses to lipsticks is fair game when it comes to that gorgeous colour. Well a few weeks ago I added to my makeup collection my very first MAC Coral blush.

OUTFIT INSPIRATION: RED HOT VALENTINE

Chocolate love hearts, cheesy cards, roses everywhere and lingerie in every junk mail brochure...Valentines Day must be approaching. Now I personally am quite a fan of Valentines Day but I know that most singles dread it and this year I challenge you not to spend the day miserable! You don't need a man to make yourself feel special, dress to make yourself feel good and treat yourself to a nice lunch or some retail therapy on the day.
 

Inspired by this season of love, I have put together some outfit inspiration for both those of you who have a date night to go to or those of you who just want to dress up nicely and celebrate the day. I call this look "Red Hot Valentine" because it's based around a red and black theme and you are going to look extremely hot when wearing this.

REVIEW: ST. TROPEZ BRONZING MOUSSE

 

With aisles and aisles full of endless tanning options, it's easy to feel a little lost! First you have to decide if you want a mousse, gel, cream, mist or spray then there's options between gradual, instant or semi permanent. Next you have to decide what brand to go with in what price range and finally the colour; light, medium or dark. If that's not enough you also have to figure out a method of application; gloves, mitts, sponges or simply your hands. Let's just say this leaves us open to many potential tanning disasters...this is where I come in!

 

I'm here to help guide you through the confusing world of fake tanning and I myself have only just found my way. But it wasn't alone, it was with the help of one fantastic product that completely changed my perception on fake tanning - St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse. This isn't to say St. Tropez is that only brand that can make a decent fake tan but it is to say that I finally found a product that works for me - cheeto orange hands and streaks nowhere in sight.

 

With all that being said, I recommend a good scrub before any fake tanners are used! Check out my review on the Clinique Sparkle Skin Scrub HERE, it's the perfect product to prime your skin before fake tanning. Now let's get into the review, with such a large intro this must be a magical product right?!
