AUGUST PLAYLIST

Sorry for the lack of posts lately but August is one of those transitioning months for me every year. Full time work is at its peak, Bridal Season begins to get busy and I usually begin or continue with a couple of passion projects I've had on hold or have been procrastinating on for the last few months. It's also the month before spring/summer kicks into gear and weekly events and birthdays are on continuous flow up until early next year. So to sum up my mood here's a small playlist I've compiled, I'm no DJ or music blogger but I hope you enjoy it. Obviously you can tell how I've been feeling lately from this emotionally curated list, lol...

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.

1. MAC #138 Tapered Face Brush (RRP AU $105.00) - I love how this brush is pointed, I like to use it for light powdering, bronzer and sometimes blush

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.
