STRICTLYSAL

Being a lipstick lover and with the sudden change of weather my lips are most definitely feeling like they need some TLC. Ive been trying out the BYBI Skincare Buffer Lipscrub and Plumper Lip Balm, that are slightly different to the usual lip care products that I use. The UK Brand BYBI products are Cruelty free and Vegan & Eco friendly products that are in gorgeous packaging and also smell amazing. I was kindly gifted this duo and couldn't wait to try it out. Most of my matte lipsticks can be drying on the lips and with the change in weather my lips do get dryer and can get flaky and soar. In the cooler weather exfoliating them with some high concentrated scrubs can be too harsh so I’m glad

Hi lovelies, I hope you all had a fabulous long Easter weekend. This was a much deserved break for me- As I haven't taken any leave from work for a while and most weekends are jammed pack with general life just rushing to get everything done - so having some extra days as well as Anzac Day Public Holiday has been a real treat. It feels like it was ages ago already but it was only last weekend! Instagram and Stories is usually just of what I want you to see, the same with everyone else. My life isn't really just about going out for brunches, shopping and spending it friends - thats just the things I need in a weekend to get away from all the others things that need to be done - but the long w

Ive been surrounded by women who have been using Olay products for years and I decided to add the brand into my skin routine a good few years back with the Total Effects Night cream. I had also recently purchased the new Luminous Whip to try something new for my day cream. To my surprise Priceline, also sent me the full Whip range, So I’ve been able to incorporate the others into my routine too! So what is the new Olay Whip range? It is a new powerful moisturiser range that is ‘light as air’ made with new technology that is said to give a light, non greasy/sticky finish but with the same high potent results that Olay is known for. They are available in Regenerist, Total Effects and Luminous

Having good healthy looking skin is important to most of us, it brings out more confidence in an individual and also will make you feel happier. Growing up I didn’t have the best of skin, pimple after pimple, scars and uneven textures made me feel so insecure I couldn’t look at a person in their eye directly whilst conversing and hoped they didn’t notice my in perfections. As I’ve got older , my skin has got better but isn’t perfect. I definitely feel happy and more confident in my skin, whether I’m wearing makeup or even better when I feel I don’t have to wear as much! I still have scaring, some pigmentation, the occasion pimple or left over darkness from faded spots. When I was given the o

Believe it or not I haven’t tried MAC brow and lash products before so I was super excited to have been gifted these to try out. I’ve been using them for the last few weeks now and have been enjoying the results I have got. The first of the products is the Shape and Shade Brow Gel Tint. One side has a gel brush pen and the other side has a soft powder. I don't feel the need to use them both together as its not required but on their own they both create a different finish . The gel pen side lets you create hair like strokes and the shade is quite sheer which helps to control the depth, which you can deepen. Create gentle strokes in the direction of your hair growth, but you don't want to cre
