Little things

Little things

I'm sure every mother would agree that they always want the best for their child. I for one wouldn't mind spending just a little more on my little monkey knowing that he will be wearing quality items that provide comfort and of course great style!

Since pregnancy I've always known that i was going to use J&J products on my baby. Today I used the regular J&J shampoo. However I do love the smell of J&J's milk bath much more. I also never forget to moisturise his little body as the summer sun can make anyone's skin dry up.

Bvlgari make this amazing scent for little ones. It's very fresh and summery. Perfect for this time of year.

Even though the son isn't shining very brightly here in Sydney, the son on days like this are at it's worst. So I never forget to apply sun cream on my little boys skin to protect it from the harsh Aussie sun.

Although I have a great range of hats for him to wear, the days he does wear one are very rare so i take advantage of it. He's at the stage wear he hates anything on his head. This can get very frustrating when playing outdoors. Any advice on this subject would be very grateful!

I can't get over converse shoes for kids. I absolutely love them. So stylish with great support for their little feet. These Chuck Taylor's are to die for! 

Hope you all enjoy what my little one is wearing today!

Face of the day

Face of the day

Today is a beautiful summer's day here in Oz and what better way to incorporate the sun and blue skies than to have a summery face to go with it.

There's just something about wearing barely there makeup during the summer season. It's light, simple and easy and  fool proof ;-p

Today I've gone for a powder foundation that is exactly my skin colour (as it should be). It gives good coverage without being too full on which defeats the purpose of summer/whimsical looks. I beautiful peach tone blush goes exceedingly well with Mediterranean skin tones (more yellowish undertones).

A coat or two of a mascara black or brown. And finish off a summer pinky-coral lip.

This to me defines summer.

Enjoy!

Running errands

Running errands

Today is running errands day! Even though after having a baby I am carrying a bit of extra weight (maybe more than a bit) but I don't let it discourage me from wearing glam clothes. Today I've opted for something very relaxed as the weather outside is stunning!

I can get away with wearing wedges because I won't be doing a lot of walking which can sometimes me a pain.

A light flowy top and matching coloured scarf allows for a lovely summery casual out fit.

Hope you all enjoy!

Weekly review

Hi there!

Today I've chosen to combine my weekly review and my daily face/makeup routine.

Daily routine

As I age I'm finding that I need to use more products to get the job done from cleaning my make up to choosing a good foundation. I have tried Estee lauder products before and have found that they broke me out terribly, but that was before I had my son. Now through trial and error I've found a good combination of Estee Lauder products that I don't absolutely love but it does the trick. I am however still on the hunt for the perfect cleansing line that will clear up my face and won't break me out.

On the other hand I LOVE Estee Lauder makeup. I have a sample palettle that came with a purchase my aunty made not long ago that has the most beautiful mix of eye shadows and blush.


Apologies for the lighting it doesn't give it justice. The colours are so rich and intense, once i run out I'll definately will be purchasing them again. There colours are starting from the top left:

10-Ivory Slipper (Satin), 47-Nude Fresco (Satin)
44- Safari Green (broken) (Shimmer), 35- Hot Cinnamon (Shimmer)
11- Nude Rose (Estee Lauder Signature blush)
60- Sugar Biscuit (Satin), 04- Wild Sable (Matte)
38- Chocolate Bliss (Matte), 45- Lavish Mink

These shadows are 'Pure color' eye-shadows.
Since these colours are so neutral you can create day and night looks with them by keeping it soft and light during the day using the top two colours on the right, then transform the look to a sexy smoky eye by adding the bottom two on the right on your outer 'V'.

As for foundation, in the summer months I don't usually like to use liquid foundations as it can melt off my face even though I use a setting spray.

I use MAC studio fix poweder foundation in NC30. It gives good coverage and i am able to re-apply it throughout the day if I feel I need it.

Mascara is the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting mascara. I think its quite good. My lashes are separated and look a lot longer.

I am not a great user of lipstick even in the winter time, I tend to drift towards lip stains throughout the year. My summer favourite is Lancome Juicy Tubes which provide plenty shine and a hint of colour to the lips.

There are only a few of these items i'd repurchase such as the Estee Lauder Perfectly clean cleanser, Mascara and the eye-shadows. Other than than I will try other face products to find the perfect match for me.

Hope this post of helpful! Have a great day!

Odd summer

Hello all!

I've decided to do at least 1-2 fashion post a week 1-2 beauty posts along with my usual reviews of the week and recipe of the week, this way there's a bit of everything and no one gets bored!

This is something I'm wearing today. Jeans with a long top for coverage.
Here in Australia our summers' don't always always stay warm. For example the weather outside is dark and cloudy, although it's not cold enough to wear a jacket, this cute top from Tory Burch does the trick!

I've paired this out fit with some black studded flats and a girl can never have too much bling even on casual days!

Summer days


Hi all!

I thought I might post about something different today. I will however be posting day 4 of my diet, but that will be at the end of today.

Here I have put together some items that remind me of summer. I have items very similar to these in my wardrobe and at this time of the year I find that I tend to dress up a little more!

Enjoys!
