These are my summer lip must haves for all those who are lucky enough to be experiencing the warmth!
Sportsgirl - fruit tingle
Revlon - colour burst lip butter
Suvana Paw Paw & Honey Certified Organic Lip Balm
Fruit Tingle is a matte coral lipstick that eptimosies summer! the vibrant colour complements any look.
Revlon - colour burst lip butter I adore this formulae and colour payoff is a soft and subtle stained look. Almost as if you have been eating an ice lolly. So natural and easy to apply for an everyday summer lipstick
Suvana Paw Paw & Honey Certified Organic Lip Balm This paw paw balm is perfect to apply after those long beach days where you lips unfortunately suffer and become chapped. super moisturizing and calming when applied to the lips this is a must have to carry around.
What are you summer favorites??

This month there is a fixed box so everyone who signs up will receive the exact same products in theirs. The box is $17.95 and comes with 3 full size products which i will get into soon.
Bellabox is a monthly subscription service following the moto 'Try before you buy' which is extremely useful for beauty enthusiasts who love to experiment and try different products on a budget.
This months limited edition box comes with products from Aveda, Burt's Bees, Jean Patou, Original Source and Universal Beauty Cosmetics.
This months box includes a full size Original Source Skin Quench All In One Moisturising Shower Gel in Pineapple and coconut Oil. The gel acts as a 3-1 product of cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising. It also smells amazing & I cannot wait to try it out! The product retails for around $4.99 AUD in stores.
A sample of the Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Restructuring Treatment (10ml) is also included in this months special box. I have used Aveda before and have loved their products however have never tried this treatment in particular so will report back with my findings!
A 1.5ml sample of the Jean Patou '1000' Eau De Parfum.This is a very soft and summery scent (with notes of Chinese Osmanthus,Rose & Jasmine) that isn't overwhelming. I am a huge fan of delicate scents and this definitely will be on my wishlist soon.
One of my favourite products in the box this month is the Universal Beauty Cosmetics Tint Stick which is also a full size product at 1.4g. I love tints on the lips as it gives any look a soft flushed appearance. They are simple to use and effortless.
The last product in this months box is a full size (4.25g) of Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E & Peppermint.Burts Bee's products are always a favourite of mine and I own many of their lip products and nail cuticle products.This lip balm gives a slight tingling effect and the notes of peppermint make it smell amazing!
I definitely love all the products in this months bellabox and for a limited time it can be picked up when new members sign up here.
Boxes are limited and only available until June 17th 2015.

Dangerous Sultry Reds
are today's post inspiration.
Featured products include Chanel Rouge Coco in Gabrielle & a red Colette Hayman purse with gold edging.
I adore this lipstick.
The colour is a perfect vibrant red that accentuates any makeup.
It is very easy to apply and lasts all night long.
The purse has been one of my favourites ever since I picked it up at the start of the year.
Complementing any outfit and acting as a pop of colour to my basic black work ensembles.

australis LASH TLC preview

australis LASH TLC review: Fail
i was recently sent this product to review, so i tried & tested the mascara for around a month, & well, it is definitely not a favorite.
Application: 3/5
Although the brush appears to be an easy applicator it definitely is far from it. the mascara clumps onto the brush, then when you go to apply it, the tip of the brush isn't thin enough to reach the inner eyelashes. such a messy process.
Wearability: 2.5/5
I included an image to show the difference between the mascara & my normal eyelashes. yes it does give volume & curl, yet they look spidery & not that appealing. I also found the product to irritate my eyes. Every time i applied the mascara, without fail, my eyes would be red & itchy at the end of the day.
Color: 5/5
I wanted a black mascara & the mascara is black. :)
Packaging: 4.5/5
I quite like the packaging, it is a very sleek & modern design with a pop of color. it reminds me of a hot pink kiss lipstick packaging. Very girly & perfect for a cosmetic product.
Overall: 15/20 = 75%
However i would not re-purchase this product.
For the cost, it definitely can be considered, but if you want a serious mascara for daily use, perhaps skip this one.

Hello my beautiful dolls,
Today's post will be a little show and tell for you all :)
recently i had the opportunity to choose a couple items from the coastal scents website, i really did feel like a little girl in a toy store! (http://www.coastalscents.com)
I could not wait for my order to get in! the moment i received them i made a video showcasing them :)
I absolutely love the items i received, They are perfect! great pigmentation, colour array and blend so easily.
I could rave about this products all day! but here is a little run down: :)
Not only is the pallate a bargain, but the shadows are smooth in texture and vibrant in colour.
Cannot wait to start playing around with my palette! :)
I already have an Angelina Jolie Inspired look up using this palette
