Singapore slings
Throwing it back to a conversation I had with a chef at one of Melbourne's popular restaurants, Singapore is somethin' else. Yes, it's part of Asia but it definitely doesn't feel like it. This immaculate city is a combination of all the best things in the world, not to mention food. When you're importing beef from Australia and wine from Spain, you know you're getting a taste of some of the best. Here are some snaps from my trip back in 2014.

MUSQ Skincare Review
Social Media, good or bad? According to the latest news Instagram has created a new “buy now/shopping” feature on the app, what a complete game changer. Well, it is for people like me who tend scope out brands, products and food via Insta rather than physical retail shopping. Like most of you, my attention span is NIL so apps like Instagram, Pintrest and Snapchat have been lifesavers for quick answers. The latest beauty product I’ve come across is an Australian skincare and cosmetics brand called MUSQ, I don’t know why I hadn’t heard of it earlier especially since I’ve been on the all natural, animal cruelty free, organic skincare binge for over 18 months now.

2. Shu Uemura Natural Brush #18 (RRP AU $105.00) - Bought this in Hong Kong last year, pretty sure the price wasn't this high when converted. I love to use it for under eye concealer, liquid foundation, highlighting and contouring
3. Inglot Makeup Brush 27P (RRP AU $32.00) - Under eye concealer, spot concealing, nose highlighting and contouring. Some people want to know what I use to apply cream blush, this is the brush I like to use for it.
4. Gorgeous Cosmetics Brush B111 Shadow Blender (RRP AU $38.00) - My all time favourite eye shadow brush for blending. I also use it for spot concealing, nose highlighting and contouring with creams and also loose dust.
5. Double sided angle brush & mascara spoolie (RRP AU $4.00) - I bought this at a random brush stand at IMATS years ago (can't remember if it was Coastal Scents or Crown Brush). I love it for liquid or gel eyeliner and it's the only type of brush I use for brows.

My skin was pretty flawless growing
up, I never went through that awkward adolescent pimple phase like some
other girls my age. But as soon as I hit my adult years, specifically
from 23 until currently, my skin has suffered the worst adult
acne. It's hard to hide and kind of embarrassing especially working as a
freelance Makeup Artist, clients always ask for skin tips and advice and
to be honest I don't have an answer and I'm still struggling to get my
skin back. As much as cosmetics can cover, it can only do so much. At
the moment I'm using organic, anti aging skincare and wear less &
less makeup most days, I was also on anti-biotics for the longest time. I
found that what you read/research doesn't always work for everyone
because each person has different levels of hormones, lifestyle, diet
and skin type. For the girls struggling and losing confidence in
themselves just remember that what you see in the mirror is not all
there is. Don't be discouraged and don't believe all that #nofilter
bullshit, yes we all use filters, makeup is a filter. I just wanted to
share my thoughts and struggles about my skin and want to remind you
that we all have scars, but please choose to smile because you're beauty
shines through than what's on the surface. For my ladies who don't wear
makeup or have no interest in it, that's cool too.
What did Drake say
"sweat pants hair tied, chillin with no makeup on. That's when you're
the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong."
